Love all the blooms! The gardens out here in Oregon are beautiful. Roses everywhere, after all Portland is the Rose City. The ones that really stand out to me are the crocosmia. I have some, but, not in the right spot for them. I will need to remedy that situation or get some more bulbs.

At the farmer's market yesterday I got an Acer palmatum 'Viridis'. A green lace leaf Japanese maple. It is almost hip high to me, so it's pretty tall for $7.00. Jeff wondered what it was and I said interior decoration for the RV. Hehehehe. I chose one that didn't stick out all over, so it won't take up too much room when traveling down the highway. They had lovely ones for $12, but much larger and I didn't want to be running down the highway behind the RV because it took up my space. Hahahahaha
