Yesterday I shared the Schefflera highlights from my nursery stops en-route back from Seattle, but there were other things worth noting. First stop City People’s Garden Store on Capitol Hill in Seattle.

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve got a soft spot for this nursery, and they just keep on earning it every time I visit! Rodgersia podophylla ‘Bronze Form’…
![]()
Sambucus R. ‘Black Tower,’ not a great photo but it was a beautiful plant…
![]()
![]()
And I’m still regretting the fact I let a little thing like no space keep me from grabbing this Blue Shadow Fothergilla. I’ve never understood the attraction but this particular plant was gorgeous!!!

![]()
This one was easier to just grab and think later about where to plant it, ‘Banana Boat’ Sedge…
![]()
After all how could I refuse a plant whose sign was complete with fun drawings?
![]()
Pacific Northwest style...
![]()
Leptospermum lanigerum, cold hardy Wooly Tea Tree from Xera.
![]()
That darn black Daphne again, I still haven't bought one.
![]()
The shade area...
![]()
Oh I like this little hebe...
![]()
Miller Garden! I guess I better grab one.
![]()
They had just gotten a shippment of Sarracenia and I really wanted to grab them all!
![]()
Until I looked closer...
![]()
Their little Martian-heads kind of gave me the shivers.
![]()
Pretty flowers though...
![]()
On to Furney's, this place was huge and very busy...
![]()
Glad to see they are okay with the spiky side of life.

I've been trying to tell myself these (variegated snapdragon I think? variegated yellow wallflower, thanks Max) would be a great, hardy, substitute for Echium candicans 'Pride of Madeira' but so far I haven't managed to believe myself.

Palm alley.
![]()
Miles and miles of shrubs...
![]()
Branded shop within the shop.
![]()
Equisetum scirpoides
![]()
Albizia julibrissin 'Boubri'
![]()
With blooms!
![]()
Guess where I am now? Doesn't the name sound like an amusement park? The font helps to support that notion.
![]()
Huge tree ferns! They could be yours for only $229.99
![]()
This is the first year in awhile that I haven't had a Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' in the garden.
![]()
I was tempted, but resisted.
![]()
Lot's of blue skies, I had a very nice day, weather-wise, for nursery hopping and driving home from Seattle.
![]()
Forget the grass, I want those cement blocks! Do you think if I offered to buy them new ones they'd give me these?
![]()
More tropical temptations.
![]()
That's all folks! It was time to get home to Andrew and Lila...
