Visions of beauty everywhere

 Last weekend I was fortunate to attend some of the open gardens during the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon Study Weekend in Portland, and I saw so many beautiful things, I'm still full of them. I wanted to share some of them. These are all from gardens in Portland except the peonies--they were at the Portland Saturday Market.

Peonies

Bronze Japanese Maple

Garden Guardian

You can't see me—I'm hiding

Rugosa Rosebuds

Papaver rhoeas and Stachys

Too lush for words

Allium christophii and Camassia

Rose arbors

Every week from mid-spring through mid-fall, members of the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon open their gardens for visiting. You can find them by joining HPSO, which you'll find at this website.
