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.

    Good morning, Peter. I hope you are beating the bug. I just got back state-side after 3 weeks where I wasn't able to access the comment feature of your blog. This morning I had a lot of catching up. I teared up reading about the lose of your chocolate girl. Then I laughed seeing this vignette. I know I can count on you for crying and laughing, not to mention all the fabulous plant in between. Its good to be back!

      Oh Chava, I've missed you and am glad you're back safe and sound. The bug is being defeated and I'm feeling much better. Thanks for sharing the tears and laughter!

    This reminds me of a garden in Iowa that had a car half buried with just the front end rising out of the garden!

    Yikes! That is scary, but around here, a distinct possibility.

    Oh gosh, that is ... fascinating and scary at the same time. OK, so call me crazy, but I'm imagining all the berry crisp and pie I could make with all the berries.

      Rubus armeniacus, the Himalayan blackberry was introduced to this area early in the 1900's by Luther Burbank and now is rampant all over the pacific northwest. Interesting story here: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/08/29/491797791/the-strange-twisted-story-behind-seattles-blackberries There are blackberries to be picked just about everywhere round these parts.
