Argyle Winery, it's been a minute

I have such fond memories of walking the garden at Argyle Winery, in Dundee, Oregon, that I decided it was a must visit on my way home after stopping at Berry Creek Garden in late May...

My previous visits were in October of 2018, May of 2019, and May of 2022.

The two biggest changes I noticed were 1) the Yucca rostrata were much taller, 2) there were shade sails everywhere.

The rest of the landscape seemed a little less diverse, like some things had died out. Although it was still lovely to wander (original design and plantings were done by Cistus Nursery).

Yucca streetside

Ceanothus sp.

Fremontodendron!

Aka flannel bush...

I don't know the name of the silver leaved tree, but it's rather attractive.

Ditto for the iris.

Looks like a space ready for entertaining...

Astelia (maybe 'Red Devil'?) and Metapanax delavayi.

Agave! Looks to be an A. ovatifolia that's a little shaded out.

Eryngium some-somebody

I wish I knew which one.

Busy patterns with the shade sails, but I like the look. In case you're wondering, no wine for me. It was time to get home.

The Bit at the End

A gift article from the NY Times: As a Sacred Tree Dies, Their Village Loses a Piece of Itself; In a forest in Madagascar, the demise of a centuries-old baobab points to the fraying of a fragile ecosystem. The photos alone are worth clicking over to have a look at.
