I'm not ready to schedule an organized plant sale. 

Top of the list are / WERE the Trillium 'Flore Pleno' --  Only nine available (THESE ARE ALL GONE NOW)-- one per please.
I have ONLY 4 quart size pots with a large division and they each have two stems coming up. 
Also there are only 5 quart pots with a single stem. 
ALL OF THEM HAVE BUDS AND ARE STARTING TO BLOOM.

MAY GARDEN and RAIN REPORT

Ok, so we had some downpours at the beginning of May--We didn't mean to complain!
Really!! We're sorry if it sounded like complaining.
It was good rain that we needed. Nice rain, good job. 
But you didn't need to stop completely, an occasional 1/2 inch a week would still be very welcome. 
Should we do a dance for you? 

I know a few places got really drenched yesterday around here. But we've been in a bit of a doughnut hole here at our place. Granted,sometimes that's nice. Today I've got the hoses out helping the garden to stop wilting, just so you know.............


End of May update: 
It sure has been a warm dry May around here--a couple two days of light on and mostly off mist in between lots of sun. The garden is sure coming into bloom a lot earlier this year. 
Besides all the Pacific Coast Iris and Arisaemas and Cardiocrinums that we love, here are a few pictures of plants in the May garden 
Rhododendron  'Naselle'
We're not big Rhody fans, but do
love these coral salmon colors


 Rhododendrons everywhere around here this year have been fantastically full of bloom. My theory is that we had a very rainy September last year when the buds were developing.








Polygonatum prattii ?

I first got this little guy from Heronswood as an unnamed collection number, collected in Sichuan in 1996 COBC 96-186. I since found P. prattii from Keeping it Green that looks exactly the same and planted next to the original clump. Yet both of these have much rounder leaves than most pictures I've seen of P. prattii. And these flowers arise upward from the leaf axil.
Polygonatum prattii?

Polygonatum hookeri
















     

 this cute little Polygonatum grows only about 2 inches tall and has relatively big flowers sitting right on top.
