Washington is forecast to be hit by a “winter storm this week and it’s only 37℉ today and raining, but when there was a short break in yesterday’s clouds I drove down to the Point Defiance Garden, thinking that if cherry blossoms were in flower that the park would certainly have some plants in bloom.
I was rewarded with my first sighting of rhododendrons in bloom, early whites and pinks,
and a wide variety of narcissus, ranging from yellow and orange,
to white and orange.
If I close my eyes a little and squint at my computer monitor, I can almost see tulips, iris, roses and dahlias ahead.
That rhododendron bloom is perfection, Loren. I am not all that keen on the dark-coloured ones but that pink is exquisite – lovely photograph.
Such detail!! Wonderful.
Wow!! Your art carries healing power. Thanks so much.
Gorgeous. We are just barely getting some crocuses up; no rhodedendrons here.
Am just catching up on your blog – have to keep up with both this and Scrabble! 😉
Yeah, that Scrabble stuff can just suck the time right out of you.
Love it!
Very promising. I’m espeicially curious about those shoots at the feet of the orange yellow narcissus.
I was too. I’ll try to remember to check it out when I go back later.
gifts!!! gifts!!!
thanks loren
