Found this dwarf rhododendron 'ginny gee' at a little nursery last year just after flowering so was looking forward to seeing the blooms this year. Not disappointing anyway.
A soft must fell all night, and the scent this morning is something akin to what I don't recall experiencing anywhere but coastal Washington. It's so rare to have this sort of cool humidity around here. It's wonderful!
Younger kids dragged me out hiking on the city trails near the house.
Was trying to get my daughter climbing the rock face behind the flowers, but neither she nor my phone cooperated with that notion.
And this one isn't even blooming yet, but I'm very curious to find out what it is.
And the days paleontological discovery: coral circa 100mya.
Very fine and fragile. Not sure how long we might be able to preserve it, but I'm very surprised to have found it so intact at all.
