Na Pua O Wakinekona- the flowers of Washington State
Flowers are blooming everywhere! I can't wait till fall and separate a lot of these plants out so next year there will be more and more. I estimate it will be 8 more years for my yard to be filled. I got these little pots and dug up plants from friends when I started. I only have 3 peony plants and will split them in the fall.
While we were at hula Wes went riding with friends. John is one of my favorites. This is safe to say because all of Wes' friends are named John. There's Johnathan from Silverdale fire, and John who lives in Belfair and John the guy who runs a fire training business and John, the welder. John the welder is awesome. He's smaller than I am, but really good at what he does. He makes security gates and spiral staircases and welds structural things too. I guess I think of his creative talents in working with iron. It's a plus too that he has nice Japonica plants and I can pick there any time!
Anyhow, as I have a flower name and gave a flower name to my 2 daughters and the little grand girls are flowers also, I guess it's pretty cool we all like to garden. The akulikuli cousins are blooming, the roses are huge, my first peony bloomed and it is white, the next ones to bloom should be pink and that tree one is a lady in waiting for another couple of years. Japonica is doing okay, I should get another variety. The pansies are thick in the planter and so far they seem to have been saved from the deer. The carnations are thick with buds and someones animal decided it was a good place to lie down and flattened a plant or two! All of the lilies have buds and the day lilies are in bloom. If I'm diligent in deadheading them, they will continue all summer. It takes so much effort to have things blooming throughout the season. In Hawai'i, they just grew and bloomed!
Well, it's hump day and there are places to go to and things to do!!! Oh yeah, I'm still on the hunt for a green laceleaf Japanese maple!--
