So it's Huckleberry on the eco-stump. Thanks Pixy.

Murmur I had you located all wrong- thought you were just a hop skip and a jump out of Enumclaw on Hwy 410. I thought there was a little berg along that road with a sign that said "Greenbank." Turns out that is Greenwater WA. When I read of the ferry ride to your purple party I realized I was in the wrong county. The beauty of online maps....

I feel your pain all over again seeing the 'before and after' photos of Hundred Acre Woods. It would be great to photograph the changes in the upcoming years- a little healing montage as growth returns slowly but surely.

Purple plant, red foliage search turned up Heuchera "Vesuvius." What do you think? Not red enough?

Below is another thing we see around the yard. New trees growing out of old growth stumps. A bad photo, sorry. Rumor has it that there is an old growth tree uphill from us a way on State land. It's a bit of a treacherous hike, but I'd like to find it if the tree is as impressive as its stumpy cousins' remains down here.
