To those that have stopped here before, this sign calls out loud and clear...Jungle Fever Nursery!
![]()
Back in November, when I visited DIG on Vashon, I had a rough idea of which ferry I hoped to catch from Pt Defiance (Tacoma) to the island. It's a tough calculation when you're leaving home some 145 miles away. I also hoped to arrive a little early, so I could stop at Jungle Fever. Thankfully the stars aligned and I was able to do just that.

This nursery holds a special place in my heart. It's a plant lovers paradise, of the sort that may be a dying breed. I try to always buy something whenever I stop, sadly my schedule and the fact there was a family with lots of questions kept me from doing so this time.

However that family appeared to be buying things so it wasn't all bad...

Ya, not all bad...

I couldn't tell if there was some sort of hole in the table where this mass-o-sedum was planted, or if it was just plopped on the table. Either way it appeared pretty darn happy.

I tend to think planter and pedestal need to match. This combination proves otherwise.

Solanum atropurpureum (Malevolence) — I've not seen it dried like this...

And still with fruit!

I guess there's no need for soap at this outdoor sink.

This! I love everything about it.

Before I left I took a quick walk up the sidewalk to check out the owner, Jerry's, personal garden.

It did not disappoint. It never disappoints.

I think the bamboo had recently been thinned.

And I love the rebar "corral"...
![]()
At the corner...
![]()
*sigh*

How many intersections have a corner this beautiful?
![]()
I have no idea what this is, it has the leaves of a Datura but the downward facing flowers of a Brugmansia...
![]()
This! It's "just" a neighborhood hellstrip...
![]()
![]()
I was focused on the Blue Atlas Cedar that's being trained along the rebar...and completely missed the green roof over the front porch. There's a Yucca up there!
![]()
More B.A.C. on rebar...
![]()
Finally there are these...I remember watching an Agave bloom here (via a "before"— and then an "after" visit), years ago. I wonder if one of these might its offspring?
![]()
Such perfection.
![]()
Okay, must go catch that ferry!
