Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Squeeeeeee! Some day mine will look like that, I hope, I hope. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI'd never seen one with cones before and was delighted with them! Yours will do that in no time!
DeleteYours?
ReplyDeleteNope, don't have one. This is a very old one at Portland Avenue Nursery in Tacoma that covers all four sides of two huge buildings, forms an arch between them and another over the path between the other and a small house on the property.
DeleteBeautiful. No cones on mine yet. Will they eventually show up as the tree matures? The cones are just the 'cherry' on these pretty (and useful in hiding the neighbor's driveway) trees. I love mine so much I named it Weeping Wilma.
ReplyDeleteI think that they'll show up in time.
DeleteNature does create many little wonders!
ReplyDeleteYes it does!
DeleteI'm already in love with this tree, never having seen the cones. Yowza!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about where I could put one in my garden!
DeleteJust beautiful. I love everything about the weeping atlas cedar. I've got to find a place for one in my backyard...
ReplyDeleteYes you must!
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI liked them as well!
DeleteVery nice and very ornamental! On certain angles the cones somehow has reminded me of dried up ranunculus flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey do have that symetrical multi petal sort of look about them.
DeleteBeautiful photos! I think my parents need one of these to help fill up all that space in their yard.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Where do your parents live? Do they have a huge garden space?
DeleteWeeping cedar! What a beautiful conifer! Is it young or no, Peter?
ReplyDeleteIt's at least 50 years old, Nadezda.
DeleteHow amazing. From some angles they look like rosettes. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
