Maybe it's good that you can't get away...the cooler temps and lush green just might be too much for you.<br /><br />VW, I completely understand (3 kids in tow). I don't know how you manage the time to have such a beautiful garden with 3 kids!!! <br /><br />Greensparrow, uhm...50% success rate in zone 5 sounds like 90% in zone 8....I'm gonna have to check this one out!<br /><br />Denise, yes! C. rivulare ‘atropurpureum’ certainly looks right. <br /><br />Grace, there is some consolation in knowing that there are others out there like me who suck at the whole propagation by cuttings thing.<br /><br />Aerie-el, yay! Glad I could inspire. Are you going to the Seattle Garden Bloggers Fling?<br /><br />Heather, thank you!<br /><br />MulchMaid, I hope you will do a post on Metro's tour...I've never gone on one.<br /><br />David, yes...sorry to rub it in.<br /><br />Candy, it was a great day!<br /><br />ks, you're making a trip up to Oregon? Actually Twombley is the owners last name...but with garden furniture like that I bet they can appreciate a drop-by with cocktails!<br /><br />Lauren, "my eyes water behind my eyeballs"...omg! Did you just come up with that?<br /><br />Laguna, glad I could do a little pay back for all the fabulous tours you've taken us along on!<br /><br />Mark and Gaz, agreed.<br /><br />scott, you and me both.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-19595385398943823452011-06-15T08:57:57.834-07:002011-06-15T08:57:57.834-07:00Thanks for the follow-up...man...I really want tha...Thanks for the follow-up...man...I really want that thistle!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-44943938410945002852011-06-15T01:19:20.324-07:002011-06-15T01:19:20.324-07:00Stylish gardens and plants!

Not to mention waiting patiently for my Tetrapanax to become a similar problem...maybe in a couple of years? By coicidence, I was just reading about David Douglas and the asphodels he collected in the PNW. Now I know what one type looks like.<br /><br />I'm pumped that at least I get to see Lucy's garden this Sunday on one of Metro's natural gardening tours (one of the reasons I can't do the ANLD tour.) I was there years ago - thanks for this taste of delights to come!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-19951181106874007482011-06-14T13:03:05.379-07:002011-06-14T13:03:05.379-07:00WOW, the Twombley Garden is amazing.

I tried it a few years ago. It grew for one year then died. I loved it while it was alive. Gorgeous flowers. ... Your tour photos are fabulous, Loree. I heard Lucy speak at a Master Gardener event several years ago. She left a bunch of plants for people to take cuttings from but none of mine took. Darn.

I thi...I love it when bloggers go on garden tours! I think that unnamed echium might be gentianoides, and that delicious cirsium is probably C. rivulare ‘atropurpureum’ -- Digging Dog offered it recently but otherwise seriously unavailable in the U.S. I saw Hardiman's garden on a tour a couple years back, and she said she was about to rip into a major re-do. Asphodels, yes, love!<br />And that's great news that tetrapanax's runners are shallow rooted and easily destroyed. All quiet on the southern tetrapanax front for now!Denisehttp://agrowingobsession.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-89683383468063692642011-06-14T09:32:53.684-07:002011-06-14T09:32:53.684-07:00Wow...

Wish I could come see them in person.<br />The echium in the hell strip is, I THINK, E. lusitanicum, which has been mostly hardy for me here in a wet zone 5.

Sorry to have missed you last weekend, I didn't make it to the Manito sale. We actually live at the bottom of the Spokane Valley, right in between the Manito/South Hill area and Liberty Lake. On Sat my husband was out of town to do a half-Ironman race so I shuttled kids to a birthday party and did NOT attempt any sales with 3 kids in tow.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-10011309877634827212011-06-14T09:14:23.489-07:002011-06-14T09:14:23.489-07:00I'm impressed at the quality of happy Agave ha...I'm impressed at the quality of happy Agave havardiana / A. parryi I see up in Cascadia.
