My Life on Instagram
If you’re going to the @nwfgs in Seattle this week be sure to check out the Cascade Nursery Trail booth. While there, you can meet my employer and friend Pat from @secret_garden_growers and if you look around you’ll notice a pic of me in the back of the booth. 🤣 I’ll be around the show on Friday and Saturday morning too. Hope folks can make it. #nwfgs #plantpeople #plantshopping #allplantsallofthetime #cascadenurserytrail #horticulturist #propagator #plantswomen
Erythronium dens-canis 'Snowflake’ aka dog’s tooth violet in the greenhouse at work today. There’s never a dull day this time of year. #dogstoothviolet #erythronium #erythroniumsnowflake #spring #springephemeral #secretgardengrowers #greenhouselife #pretty #flower #cuteness #plantmagic
Dichelostemma capitatum seedlings. I potted up a lot of these beautiful native babies today. Seeds were collected at the nursery for a nice crop some time ago. Growing corms from seed takes time, but it’s one of the most rewarding jobs when it comes to propagation. #seedpropagation #dichelostemma #dichelostemmacapitatum #bluedicks #wildflower #nativeplants #nativeplantpropagation #cistusnursery #cistusnurseryseedlings #plantbabies #lifeofapropagator #fromseedtoseedling #pnwgardening #pnwgardens #seedstress
My Sinningia sellovii from @secret_garden_growers was a big hit at the talk today. This beauty originally hails from South America and is a tough (and large) species plant. I keep mine in a container and it’s only blooming now because it is babied in my basement but it’s a monster worth growing. #sinningia #sinningiasunday #gesneriad #gesneriadsociety #secretgardengrowers #mthoodgesneriadsociety #patioplant #fuchsiafriend #hummingbirdmagnet
The other reason I went to the woods along the Lower Columbia this last week was to be interviewed in Astoria on ‘In Season’ on KMUN (Coast Community Radio). Teresa Retzlaff @46northfarmer and Jessica Schleif @walkingwiththegreenworld were great!! Thanks again ladies!!! (To hear the interview follow the link in my bio to my blog. I just posted the interview there.)
Please come out and see me this Sunday from 3-4pm at @cornellfarm in SW Portland. I’ll be giving a basic introduction to Gesneriads and their care. To RSVP follow the link in my bio. Thanks! #gesneriads #mthoodgesnariadsociety #introtogesneriads
Many moons ago my Grandpa Sam’s cousin and his wife ran supper clubs in Portland AND Astoria, OR. The one here was open primarily during WWII for the soldiers and locals. This location was dubbed the Palace of the Pacific. #amatossupperclub #palaceofthepacific #forgottenoregon #astoriaoregon #vintagesupperclub #notmyphoto
Salix scouleriana along the banks of the Columbia River beside one of the old cannery sites. #salixscouleriana #scoulerswillow #pussywillows #salix #pnwsalix #riverbankplants #pnwplants #columbiariver #lowercolumbiariver #springiscoming #lifeonthecolumbiariver
While the other cats chose to stay home, @felixthegreatpdx opted to go to the beach with Mom. While she botanized and enjoyed the ride. #beardshollow #capedisappointment #capedisappointmentstatepark #adventurecat #catsofinstagram #botanizing #catmom
