A visit to Emily's garden, in Oregon City

I've been hinting for awhile now, hoping that Emily (proprietor of the online plant shop In Search of Small Things) would host a Portland area Garden Bloggers plant swap/happy hour so we could see her "new" garden. That visit finally happened! 

Our tour of her front garden began with an introduction to droopy, a large Juniperus rigida 'Pendula' they inherited with the house.

Emily has been gardening here for 3 years now, I also visited her previous home where I was awed by her plant growing setup, you can see that post here. Oh, it looks like droopy has opened the front gate and is inviting us in...
I must share a photo of Emily's genius watering system, a way to get the sprinkler up where it can better reach far distances. I didn't ask if they roll the metal sculpture around the garden to water other spots. It would seem to make sense though, maybe?
These red-tipped glads were unexpected and quite beautiful.
Lomatia, maybe L. myricoides

Grevillea x juniperina 'Pink Pearl', I believe.

And Grevillea ‘Poorinda Leanne’...
When I first saw it, I called this striking arctostaphylos 'Ghostly', 
But the real Arctostaphylos silvicola 'Ghostly' was planted nearby (no ID on the above arcto)...
It was fun to finally see this metal sculpture/planter in Emily's garden. I knew she'd purchased it, I'd lusted after it for years when I saw it at the Rare Plant Research open house.
I'm lusting after it here too!
Cotula 'Tiffindell Gold'!
Another photo of droopy, he has such a presence.
Yucca linearifolia 
Acca sellowiana (pineapple guava) foliage...
And flower...
I love seeing the low loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) foliage. This plant (tree) will be huge in a few years, but right now it's playing with the surrounding plants.
I think I remember Emily saying this twisty stump was an inherited lilac that finally gave up the ghost.
Cistus x ‘Snowfire’
Droopy again, are Jane and Evan talking about him behind his back?
I wish I would have got a pulled back shot of the happy poppies out along the front of the fence, streetside—but with the close up you can see the bumbles. I'm so glad I finally got to see your garden Emily, it did not disappoint!
