An ornamental grass that plays really well with flowering perennials- Molinia ‘variegata’. I went through a phase of using it quite a lot and then somehow have forgotten about it. Just ran into it at a clients gardens from 5 years ago. They’ve performed really well everywhere I’ve planted them.

I had fun last night giving a Webinar on Sedges (Carex) with Northwest Horticultural Society

Here are some pictures of my recent visit to one of the places that made me fall in love with these plants, Island Center Forest on Vashon, where a seasonal pond dries up to reveal a meadow of sedges - c. aperta & c. exsicatta.

I really like this combo — ‘Onyx and Pearls’ Penstemon (Penstemon digitalis ‘Onyx and Pearls’) with Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus ‘Profusion’).

The dark purple penstemon foliage is such a good backdrop for all those loose little white and pink daisies. Both handle summer dry well and flower for a long period, but the foliage holds interest even when they’re not flowering.

Look at this cute little hitchhiker that I almost brought home with me! It must’ve latched onto me when I was climbing around an apple tree I was pruning.

Just got back from a family camping trip to the coast (more pics incoming). I was completely enthralled with this seaside bluff just below the Kalaloch Lodge. An I ncredible palette of grasses, rushes, shrubs and wind-tortured trees growing out of a crumbling bluff.

A few plants that especially wowed me:

Small-fruited bulrush — Scirpus microcarpus
Rush — Juncus sp.
Twinberry — Lonicera involucrata
Prairie junegrass — Koeleria macrantha
Fescue — Festuca sp.
Sitka spruce — Picea sitchensis

The small-fruited bulrush in particular was beautiful and surprising, mixed through the finer grasses and rushes.

I love this palette—the straw, olive, deep green and rusty brown; fine grasses against big rushes. Even the horsetail and big vetch.

I won’t say I’m sorry for replicating some of this in gardens I design!

Once a year I have the honor to prune this beautiful pine in Seattle. It’s a joy to climb and a really unique specimen. Many thanks to my pruning mentor Lonnie.

One of my favorite trees to prune- this majestic scotch pine in Seattle. I climb up into the top layer and carefully prune it back into a stylized shape. It’s been pruned this way for decades.

And of course, photos from Cistus Nursery ! A really nice recently developed shaded part of the garden with a variegated dogwood, Sean giving a garden tour and cracking jokes, arcto ‘Bate’s Yellow’, Rhamnus ‘Hayfork Strain’, and flowering Myrtus ‘Ann McDonald’.

I learn so much every time I visit Sean and Preston’s garden.
