Welcome back Kris! Water, water everywhere, and this weekend it will be in the 70′s… I think everything is going to pop this weekend… cherries, magnolias, daff’s…. I absolutely must finish cleaning up the perennial beds this week!

Thanks, Kathy! — I love your new blog!! We still need to finish in gardens too but now it’s soooooo squishy… I hope you stayed high and dry. I think you’re right about the popping this weekend. It’s like we’re on fast-forward over here. -kris

Flooding, cracks of color here and there. No flowers on my deciduous trees just yet. I will have to visit you to check them out. Love the gunnera shots. They are scary.

Layanee, I’ll bet your trees burst this weekend – but still hope you come by to see ours! – You could take a break from cleaning up flood messes… -kris

Spring is always a late-comer to the party in my part of the world. She’s not here yet, but the snow has been melting, bit by bit. Still a couple of feet left though. There are so many beautiful gardens in Seattle, I’m quite jealous.

Christine, It’s true about Seattle gardens being beautiful and I can’t even describe how good it smells there right now! I hope the residents of the Emerald/Queen City dont’ take that fragrance for granted. -kris

I have always wanted to go those Japanese Gardens in Seattle! Hope you had a good trip. That Gunnera flower is really interesting in a repulsive kind of way, isn’t it? Does it have a scent?

Susan, In all the gagillion years I lived in Seattle I never visited the Japanese Gardens. Let that be a lesson to me: I need to get out more here too! So far the gunnera flower doesn’t seem to have a scent but I suspect it’s not fully open yet… I’ll keep you posted. -kris
