Also many large plantings, and a zillion or so daffodils were blooming. Then in the ponds and streams they have platforms- each with blown glass works of art, and some jokes like a big rubber ducky. Wow someone with a dream and $$$! Interestingly, each kiosk has a billboard divided up-half is the plant and nature info, then info about the Pilchuck Glass works and glassblowing (a local place that teaches glass blowing and has glass artists on site), then there is a Bible verse or Christian info, and then a section on remembering the Holocaust. Apparently the Bonhoeffer family is descended from a German minister who preached against the Nazis and was then murdered by them. I plan to go back and see it as it takes shape. Anyway, back to the trees and shrubs. I thought this is some sort of willow? Probably no way to ID it now. It was growing in a boggy stream margin. |
