It’s a good one. 😊

Our Northwest native Pink Fawn Lily is in full bloom right now. An easy growing part-shade lover, it’s named for the dappled foliage similar to the coat of a new fawn.

Oemleria cerasiformis, commonly known as osoberry or Indian plum, is another one of those charming #Northwest native shrubs. If you have room in your #garden, the native #pollinators will love the flowers and our foragers will appreciate the fruits. 💜
