Never thought I would see this day.

YouTube video by Rainy Side Gardeners In Search of Peace at a Flower Show

This garden at the The Philadelphia Flower Show in 2023 moved me to tears. Especially knowing what is happening to children in war-torn countries. Especially appropriate after yesterday's fiasco at the White House.

This is #13 in the Remember to Breathe series.

I love this little perennial. I use it as a ground cover in partially shade areas. I also have it in some full sun even though it gets a bit burnt around the edges during the height of summer.

My Journey To Spring at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show In the darkness of February, a flower show comes to Seattle, and brings us 5 bright days of spring.

Had to miss last year because I had Covid, so this year I am going to the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. Here's an old video I made from the show 9 years ago. That was a great year for the display gardens. Always a fun time!

I already can tell the AI writing from the real thing. How does a machine tell the human experience story without the experience?

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Day 1

YouTube video by Rainy Side Gardeners Remember to Breathe -- Penstemon serrulatus

Number 9 in the Remember to Breathe series. Penstemon serrulatus is a PNW native plant. You can see why its commonly called beard tongue.

In times of chaos, emotional balance is key.

My latest in the Remember to Breathe--Fuchsia corymbiflora. #remembertobreathe #rainysidegardeners #flowers youtube.com/shorts/kspKw...

I found them last year for the new garden at Dancing Oaks in Oregon. It took awhile to find some. Dancing Oaks does mail order.

I love this Rhododendron that has a name with an attitude.

If you grow this in the maritime PNW and you haven't had a frost, this would still be blooming in your garden! At one time call Schizostylis. Love this little beauty.

YouTube video by Rainy Side Gardeners Salvia viridis

Salvia viridis, still blooming in December. I think it is waiting for the first frost to shut it down. Defiant little thing! Here it is in November. #rainysidegardeners #flowers #gardening #garden youtube.com/shorts/rRy0C...

As he should. I'm tired of not seeing posts, or my posts not being seen over on his platform. I brought so many people over from my page, and he cut me off from them.

Yup! I know the pain.

It's good to see Pumpkin under the blue sky...

I tried to get verified and gave up...

Blessed are their hands that feed us. My gratitude for their hard work. #thanksgiving #immigrants #migrants

Swoon worthy rose!

I'm struggling too. I keep trying to live in the moment, but it's hard when the moments suck too.

I agree. It took a long time to get over the "you're just to sensitive" as if it was a bad thing. Now I know to embrace it as a gift. Glad to see you here too.

LOL I almost said well, duh! I will post mine up when I get back.

What a fantastic image.

We see them occasionally, but whale dreams are so cool, and mine get strange indeed! BTW you are looking right at the area where I live on the Puget Sound.

You hammered that one in! Unbelievable.

Love this. Reminds me of “If Men Could Menstruate” by Gloria Steinem

This little pocket garden is one I began in 2021. It is dedicated for those who lost a loved one. Still searching for a name, but for now still calling it a memorial garden. Located in Kingston, WA.
