Don’t you love this time of year, that is if you’re not still buried in snow. I’m so sorry for those yet battling dastardly\u00a0weather. We had a mild winter in the Pacific Northwest, and that means all manner of things are bursting from\u00a0the earth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some people worry about the promiscuity of Euphorbia ‘Fen’s Ruby’<\/a>, but I love this stuff–in spite of those\u00a0wayward inclinations.<\/p>\n

\"Epimedium<\/a>
Epimedium and Euphorbia ‘Fen’s Ruby’ mingling with aplomp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I happened to get outside at the apex of this Epimedium<\/a>‘s bloom. It was cold and rainy that day, but if I’d recognized\u00a0my\u00a0perfect timing, I’d have worked a harder at a good shot–and maybe worn shoes instead of open-heeled slippers.<\/p>\n

\"Epimedium<\/a>
Epimedium noid. Love these so much, I should keep better notes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One more. Fabulous, don’t you think? Dang, I wish I’d gotten a more focused shot–and that I knew the variety. I’ve got the tag, somewhere.<\/p>\n

\"And<\/a>
And in truth, I like Epimedium primarily for its foliage. Icing on the cake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’d be remiss in not showing the fresh foliage of this Farfugium japonicum ‘Aureomaculatum’<\/a> just down the planter from the above\u00a0plants.<\/p>\n

\"Farfugium<\/a>
Farfugium japonicum ‘Aureomaculatum’aka Spotted Leopard Plant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I remember the first time I noticed Farfugium. It was in a bed at Portland Nursery on Stark Street<\/a>. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine\u00a0I could grow such a marvelous plant. Isn’t’ that the greatest thing about gardening, all these miracles. Yes we can!<\/p>\n

And because it’s that\u00a0magic\u00a0time of year, I ran through the garden willy nilly, snapping \u00a0shots of plants that caught my eye. So here goes.<\/p>\n

\"Disporum<\/a>
Disporum cantoniense ‘Green Giant’<\/a> looking fine after 2 moves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And at the Giant Fairy Bell’s feet, this sweet Strawberry Begonia. It hitchhiked from my Alameda garden, and I’m so glad.<\/p>\n

\"Saxifraga<\/a>
Saxifraga stolonifera ‘Maroon Beauty’<\/a>, hitchhiker from Alameda garden.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If I was<\/a>\u00a0more disciplined, I’d do a whole post on Melianthus. It could happen. I planted a smaller version in my neighbors’ yard. \u00a0Melianthus major ‘Antonow’s Blue’<\/a>. Fingers crossed theirs blooms too. They’ve already given me the go-ahead to plant what I want, but I’d love to knock their socks off. Yes, I admit it: I’m a plant pusher.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
I mean, come on, is this fabulous or what? Melianthus major.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Stachyurus salicifolia<\/a> is scrumptious. And this<\/em> plant is actually available to ship from plantlust.com as part of beta testing. How about that!<\/p>\n

\"Stachyurus<\/a>
Stachyurus salicifolia a swoony plant if ever there was one. Part shade, Zone 8.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Look at this tiny stick of a plant, Magnolia laevilfolia<\/a>, blooming to beat the band, settling\u00a0the question\u00a0of whether its an “early bloomer.”<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This tiny Magnolia laevifolia is blooming its heart out. Adorable, no?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I could go on and on, but I know you’ve got your own garden to ooh and aah over. One last picture of a plant that was here before I was. I should move it to a better location, a Pasque Flower.<\/p>\n

\"Pulsitilla<\/a>
Pulsitilla noid, Pasque Flower extant in the garden when we moved in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Happy Hour appetizer for your consideration. Early evening appetizers as an avenue for more vegetables is working out. Try it, and let me know.<\/p>\n

\"Mixed<\/a>
Mixed baby greens with balsamic dressing, oven-roasted veggies, and horseradish dipping sauce.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cheers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

p.s. I meant to mention, the title line of this post\u00a0is from a song in Megan’s grade school opera, Persephone.\u00a0We sang heck out of all those songs during the rehearsal days, but this was our favorite.<\/em><\/p>\n

Messenger, Messenger from morn till night<\/em><\/p>\n

Come here, go there, fly with all you might.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every day, on the go,<\/em><\/p>\n

the messenger of kings.<\/em><\/p>\n

All because I happened to be born with wings.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
