Pacific Northwest Gardening: What would you say is in "full bloom" in your yard right now, 1 by Rarejem

Susybell, I have purchased all of my corylopsis from Gossler Farms in Oregon, and all of them have done wonderfully.(mailorder) I have been thrilled with everything that I have purchased from them... the stuff seems small in comparison to what you find at some of the local nurseries, but they have always just taken off for me. The one in the picture has been in my yard for five years.

I still find myself thinking that "I will always remember" what I plant and where I plant it, but of course that is very untrue. I came across a wonderful surprise yesterday.... my Garrya Elliptica James Roof that I bought last year (and was very excited about, but planted behind my big pond, and it was kind of little, so I promptly forgot about it) is in full bloom right now. It is still just a tiny thing, but it is tassling it's heart out, and I can't wait for it to get to the promised 15 foot! It's kind of hard to get a good picture, but this gives you the general idea....the tassles are about four inches long.
