When I first moved to the Northwest in January of 1980, I was thrilled to discover it was already spring. I believe many fail to appreciate the subtle beauty of a long slow spring (lasting up to 6 months and sometimes bypassing summer altogether). Walking through the Winter Garden uplifts the spirit and is an activity I look forward to each January.
From witch hazel
to hellebore
to plants too mysterious and fantastic to identify, what more could a "virtual gardener" ask for?
I'm sure some actual gardener out there knows the above plant. Mystery solved!
Thank you Karen.
Now back to the studio for some actual weaving.
