Out to see the big redwood trees on a new trail! This one starts off in old growth, but then climbs through thinning big trees and into an old clear cut that isn't that old. They're still a lot nicer than what you'll find on the other side of the ridge where logging continues to this day. (Less than 5% of the old trees remain.)

A few more I donβt have names for. The last one I attempted and failed to capture a bumble in a frenzy from bloom to bloom π

Some rhododendron shots from the day. Getting a little late in the season, but there are still some prime blooms to be found.
I think this one was βKirsten Marieβ (I donβt always look at the names).

For #ThrowbackThursday, June rhododendron blooms with fresh raindrops and an inner glow.

Happy #garden serendipity: prostrate tatarΔmoa, the creeping form of one of our native blackberries, grows happily under #rhododendrons, all the way to the trunk. Glad something does
Years ago I owned a property with over 100 varieties of #rhododendrons. We moved to a place with no shade. This one thrives on the east side of the house. It is a bit unusual bevause the new leave's emerge before the flowers. "Vulcan's Flame" (We have azaleas and some shade now) #gardening @gardening

Final set includes a repeat from the first, Babylon, the giant white one with magenta speckled throats next to the red Japanese maple, such a nice combo.

Incoming thread of rhododendron blooms.
I donβt think it rained in Portland much today while I was away, but it rained where I was and made for lovely water droplets on all the things.

Rhododendron macrophyllum, our #PNW native rhodie and Washington state flower.
Imagine if youβd never seen a rhododendron before and suddenly saw one of these in the forest. π€―

A cluster of various #maple trees on the slope up to the main house at the Jenkins Estate in #Beaverton, #Oregon. The estate was built in the early 1900s, and I imagine these maples were planted just afterwards. The estate has an extensive garden with lots of mature #Rhododendrons and many other plants in bloom. Well worth a visit and walk along the meandering trails.

These are going to get heavily rained on for the next few days, so today might well be the best day for our #Rhododendrons #FlowerFriday #pdx #spring

#OTD Hortense #Calisher, American #Writer, is born.
In Mrs. Fay Dines on Zebra, she wrote:
[Arietta was] sitting in her bath when Roger, seven then, said [police were] in the #Garden.
She called back, "Tell #Daddy."
Minutes later, Roger said, "Mum, there's a Zebra in the Garden."
She replied, "Tell Daddy."
"He looked," said Mrs. Fay, "like a man who [just saw] a zebra in his garden.
There, flashing & snorting, was a #Zebra, ribanded in the #Rhododendrons like a #Beast...
