I’m not as much of a gardener as I’d like to be, but I have a few pots of Pacific bleeding heart that I like to see bloom every year. Still, someday I’d like to have a house with a garden, and maybe fill the yard with some native wildflowers as well. In the meantime there are always seed catalogs to daydream over, and native plant sales to wander for inspiration.

Species portrayed: chocolate lily (Fritillaria camschatcensis), Pacific rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum), pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), Cascades blueberry (vaccinium deliciosum), western blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), deer fern (Struthiopteris spicant)
