Train our eyes to see.

My Life on Instagram
Just a lone solar spotlight working its shadow puppet magic on my juniper fence with my fig tree and Rehmannia aka Chinese foxglove.

This is my amazing and hilarious coworker @_andesite at @cistusnursery and he’s holding out much loved nursery kitty Nigella. Such a great pair. She’s rather fond of him too.

My Etsy shop is called @miltonsgardenmenagerie for a few reasons. (Sorry, I was born Baroque and don’t understand modern simplicity. Let’s just keep adding more details to my long explanation about my long shop name.) No, I don’t particularly enjoy the work of Milton. Milt Palm was my seed mentor when I was a strange tomboy fascinated about, you know, how nature worked and where plants came from... The menagerie has a bit of Tennessee Williams but it was also a form of “fancy garden” mixed with a zoo. Animals are another pleasure for me and I’ve spent many hours watching insects, birds, and even fish. I find it relaxing and it’s one of the rare times in life when I’m actually quiet.
So here is “Little Pink Flamingo Lost in Pyrrosia”—a garden vignette.

I thought it was a sock under my bed but it’s a clump of moss from the roof. My indoor cats roam the roof and my youngest “hunts” and “kills” moss. This is his largest offering yet! Usually he leaves them downstairs and in the hallway but this giant piece was just for me! Hurray! 😂🎁 🐈

Seems fitting that the delightfully fragrant climbing rose ‘Sombreuil’ would want to rest its pretty little head on the “arm” of a soon-to-be stinky Dracunculus.

I want to wish my sweet boy Felix a Happy 2nd Birthday! He has grown out of his more difficult behavior and continues to be a curious and adventurous little guy. Here he is snuggling up to my foot after I’d been away in Texas for a week. He missed me terribly. #catsofinstagram #tuxedocat #felixthecat #catbirthday
This miniature climbing rose has been in my garden for over 10 years now. Likely purchased at Heirloom Roses it reblooms throughout the summer and always looks great. (Rosa ‘Jeanne Lajoie’.)

The pink petals on feijoa taste like marshmallows. Mine never had many blooms here in Oregon, but when it did, the petals always disappeared. The shrubs I saw in this garden in Texas were covered in blooms. I left without eating a thing. 😂
