Hey, finally something different in My Stitching World to show you.
I've begun to stitch Prairie Schooler's "May".
Today it is raining, so we'll go back in time a couple of days and enjoy a pleasant sunny walk.
An Elegant Cat's Ear (Calochortus elegans). I can't get enough of 'em!
Nootka Rose
Pacific Ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus) - it is growing and blooming everywhere!
Red Osier Dogwood
Thimbleberry

Thimbleberry closer still
Fragrant Fringecup (Tellima grandiflora)
Large-leaved Lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus)
It's worth two photos - so pretty.
Sticky Cinquefoil (Potentilla glandulosa). A funny name for one of Oregon's native plants.
Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa)
It is often used by farmers as a cover crop. As a legume, the plants are significant producers of nitrogen.
That's enough for today. There's so much to see - we'll tromp about again on Saturday.
One year ago today Mom and I took the Eurostar to Paris!
What a lovely garden walk, Beth! That Elegant Cat's Ear is special. It belongs in a sci-fi movie, me thinks! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my stroll around the garden very much - so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely start on the May Prairie Schooler piece.

Is that Thimbleberry the plant that bears tiny berries that can be made into thimbleberry jam?
