I don't like any bridges, particularly the Tacoma Narrows. It's terrifying and I only have a moderate fear of heights. I came across some pictures of workers evaluating the bridge after it collapsed in 1941 and holy yikes!! Plus they're in suits? Doesn't seem safe!

Our Northwest native Pink Fawn Lily is in full bloom right now. An easy growing part-shade lover, it’s named for the dappled foliage similar to the coat of a new fawn.

Forget-me-nots have a yellow center until the flower gets pollinated. The center turns white letting bees know that flower has already been visited. 💙🐝

Happy April from our Pacific Northwest native Ribes sanguineum, also known as the red-flowering currant. A hummingbird favorite.

Oemleria cerasiformis, commonly known as osoberry or Indian plum, is another one of those charming #Northwest native shrubs. If you have room in your #garden, the native #pollinators will love the flowers and our foragers will appreciate the fruits. 💜

The Montmorency cherry is just about to bloom this year. Do you grow them? It’s my favorite tart cherry. Self pollinating. That’s Lucy exploring below.
