To make an appointment and be there almost totally alone; pure magic! <br /><br />Pretty close to the Woodstock but the drug of choice was a bunch of different plants, not just the one. The Fronderosa Frolic in Gold bar in August has been called the Horticultural equivalent of Woodstock too. It's a great event with vendors from southern Oregon to Northern Washington showing up. Maybe a Portland contingent would like to come up for it this year.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-59874493581926704782013-05-22T21:40:12.211-07:002013-05-22T21:40:12.211-07:00Oh Barry, If you could have only experienced the a...Oh Barry, If you could have only experienced the absolute wonder of the large shade garden as it was.

Maybe by then I will have caught up on my posting about this trip! Not to mention all the planting I still have to do. Also, I want to do a Woodinville area trip. Then there's Swanson's and Ravenna Gardens. But you need to leave some weekends open to work in your own garden.

At one time there was a very special garden where incredible, unusual, rare plants seemed to spring up at ones feet while walking through the cathedral of towering douglas firs. The magic was not only in visiting familiar and established wonders in the garden but also in finding the new surprises added each season - the garden and it's evolution. I'm truly grateful to have experienced the wonder of it all!<br /><br />Since you and Loree asked (pictues to follow in another post) <br /><br />Aloe greatheadii var davyana<br />Aloe grandidentata<br />Another cool Aloe that I'm too lazy to go check the tag on.<br />2 Dactylorhiza praetermissa<br />Sinopodophyllum hexandrum <br />Syneilesis aconitifolia<br />Grevillea rivularisoutlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-6101057196670760372013-05-22T17:34:42.097-07:002013-05-22T17:34:42.097-07:00Glad you enjoyed seeing our rock stars!
