Visiting two very different gardens in the Seattle-area

Pyrrosia!
I think the large fronds belong to Woodwardia unigemmata, the jewelled chain fern.
Blechnum spicant (deer fern) and Blechnum penna-marina (alpine water fern). 
I've heard a few people disparage the spreading nature of Blechnum penna-marina, but for now I'm loving how it's starting to expand in my garden—nothing like the enthusiasm shown here though.

Hydrangea integrifolia climbing the tree. 
I can't tell you the name of the round-leaved ground cover, maybe you know and can tell me?
Bleached blades of hakonechloa, Japanese forest grass. Spring clean-up was still a few weeks off. I love seeing this grass left to age gracefully in place.
Oh, I think I know the name of the plant with the little round leaves in this photo, Lonicera crassifolia.
More quickly taken photos...
Everything was very green!
Polypodium scouleri
Saxifraga dentata
Woodwardia unigemmata and Cyrtomium falcatum (Japanese holly fern), I believe.
Rhododendron sinogrande, looking a little deflated.
Saxifraga stolonifera and a bright green bed of moss.
This is the end of the shady Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden coverage...
... as we transition to the sunny Pacific Connections Garden at the Washington Park Arboretum.
These two gardens (the RSBG and PacConn) book-ended our five day trip, this was our last stop before we hit the road back to Portland. 

Some kind visitor placed this camellia blossom where it could be appreciated.
The Pacific Connections Garden contains plants from five countries connected by the Pacific Ocean—Cascadia, Australia, China, Chile and New Zealand. Well, make that four countries and one region.

These stalks belong to Cardiocrinum giganteum, from China.
The odd black cylinders must be protecting the small plants that will grow to bloom in the coming years? Perhaps from nibbling rabbits?
I don't think I would have noticed the large fern on the roof of the shelter had Andrew not been looking up. 
Hebe ochracea ‘James Stirling’ (in the foreground) is such a stunning plant.
It's at the entrance to the New Zealand Forest.
The Seattle area had an epic cold winter and those cordylines are showing their displeasure with odd coloring at their growing point. 
There were many astelia that didn't look like they were going to make it. This was one of the good ones.
Ditto for the phormium.
Astelia nivicola 'Red Devil' has been one of the best performers of the genus for me.
The Cordyline indivisa hadn't melted yet, but they look a little off in their coloring.
Ditto for the Wollemia nobilis
It should pull through.
It's been amazing to watch this garden mature over the years, I hope it's not set back to hard as the plants react to the historic cold.
Grevillea x gaudichaudii

And the pendulous blooms of Garrya elliptica (Coast silk-tassel) end this look at two very different gardens, both of which I love to visit every chance I get.
