In the greenhouse

"No... not my tiny greenhouse but Terry's at  

Aitken's Salmon Creek Garden


All that warm weather ...when was it ?     The  Orchids appreciated the warmth and blooms abound.

...almost anyway 




A flask of baby Orchids 

A tight tangled mass, no easy task untangling, though I discovered they  have tough roots ...and can take a good pulling.



Like bean sprouts all laid out on Spagnum moss .

Long roots




Into  2" pots they go ...




The grown up 

Maxillariella tenuifolia

A few things in the garden

Chartreuse is my favorite garden color .

...And this time of year the tips are just that 






I love yellow and white as well .


And a little pink is fine.

Operation Snowberry removal

I say Snowberry removal ...but also Vinca , Ivy , and , and , and .....

It looks a tangled mess ! I used to ignore it ,  so much of it was  coming from next door .
But since the new neighbors brought in a digger and removed everything ...including all the trees and shrubs.
And finally they have replaced the fence .  I no longer have a view of their big blue house ... 

Snowberry has big ugly traveling roots 


Digging around the lilic is going to be fun ...
