Windcliff in Late Summer

Last month, pals Alison, Loree, and I set out on a nursery adventure to include Valley Nursery in Poulsbo, Windcliff in Indianola, and Far Reaches Farms in Port Townsend.   The sky was spitting a few raindrops into the wind as we wandered through Windcliff but conveniently, the heavy showers fell after we'd left the garden.  I'm going to be relatively quiet and simply let you enjoy the garden.  If you are curious about any plant names, just ask in the comments area and I'll be happy to identify them for you.  Well, except for the specific varieties of Agapanthus as I haven't a clue about those.

The four words that make plant addicts swoon, Open Garden and Plant Sale.

New artwork . 

This one was a favorite of several visitors.  For a moment, I thought it might be some sort of rare plant.

Nope, just the giant tentacle popping out of the earth.  Not a monster with which one would want to tangle!

It must be a spectacular sight when the grape leaves strut their autumn scarlet colors against the bluegreen fir.

Helleborus hercegovinus

Trevesia aff. palmata or Brassaiopsis dumicola. 

Maianthemum somethingorother

Itea ilicifolia

Love how the evergreen echoes the shape of the prayer flags. 

Love this Marcia Donahue agave!

 Hope you have a great weekend and don't forget to stop by the Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society's Odd Plant Show and Sale at Sky Nursery!
