It wasn't on my list of places to visit but since it was just around the corner from our hotel (ish) we'd driven past it enough times I figured I needed to stop in. I wish I saw 4" asparagus ferns available in Portland area nurseries. I'd be more willing to experiment with a few in the ground.

Yikes! Too rich for me (which is good since it's also not hardy for me!).

Beautiful though...
