The sweet smell and soft soothing feeling of a quiet cool morning in W Oregon in late August! The Anna’s Hummingbirds are out at it, happily skittering around drinking from flower to flower! I drink in the delicious mood!

Our Agastache is blooming profusely! It is the minty smelling one. I have lost its species name.

It is that time of the year when the sweet fragrance of the Clerodendrum floats through the air! Our tree hovers over our deck like a parasol. The flowers invite myriads of hummingbirds and bees!

The scarlet chair and it’s setting this morning! I use it to view my veggie garden and the rest of the yard.

Another combination of plants who seem to get along well! Allium millennium, Echinacea and Carex. The colors of summer!

More Galtonia, not Galanthus!
I have several herds of them! They are regal when in bloom!

In W.Oregon, if one has a sunny well drained spot, Hesperaloe parviflora will thrive! Their summer bloom spikes last throughout the dry season which is almost 4 months long! A garden spider has taken advantage of their architecture to spin a web!

The Galanthus are showing off today with the Agapanthus in the background. They also seed themselves all over my garden! They are a very sturdy S African bulb as well!

Sometimes plants just intuitively know how to snuggle! This is a coupling that I like because of the color and texture! Geranium Rozanne and Euonymus j. Variegata 🌱 #gardening #PNWgardening #drygardening

My PG Hydrangea, pink carpet rose and steely blue Colorado blue spruce all seem to play well together!

Well the Goji berries as usual do NOT disappoint! They are bountiful this year! YUM!

A soft morning light backs the golden trumpets of a golden hybrid Lillium!
Crinum americana showers its lush foliage over the rock wall.

Hugelkultur garlic. Third year of saved seed. Every year, I worry about it. I worry I won’t have a crop Every year, it’s better than the last. I fertilize in early spring and May, keep it weeded, and harvest. 🧄 🧄🧄🧄🧄 #hugelkultur #gardening #permaculture #drygardening
