One Earth Botanical
It is always exciting to discover a new nursery, especially when so many are closing these days. A friend recently introduced me to One Earth Botanical. They are located at 24001 NE 28th Street in Camas, Washington and are open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-3. This is a family-owned nursery specializing in perennials, shrubs and trees. I was impressed by their inventory and saw some plants that I didn't know existed, such as the red-blooming Cestrum called "Ruby Clusters" pictured at the top. Their prices are also awesome (most of the perennials I saw were $7 with larger sized pots around $12 - $15.) Stephanie gave us a tour of their 8-acre property which includes large display gardens, areas for weddings and other events and an in-the-works yurt which will be opened as a B&B. She says they have to deal with deer and she is knowlegeable about plants they don't like. In addition to all that, they also do beekeeping I need some of their energy! They are locate...
Mmmmm I can almost smell them. Love those hot colors.
ReplyDeleteBoth are beautify. Perfect colors for our hot summer weather!
ReplyDeletePhillip, that's your reward for having to shovel snow. Would I rather not shovel snow or have lilies? A little snow wouldn't be bad. They're so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorites and a week or two from bloom here... love the orienpets but many are chlorotic this season from all the rain and cool temps we've had... great pics! Larry
ReplyDeleteMusadet, a nice white with tiny red spots around the center is also a must have. It is the most fragrant one in the garden. My Golden Stardust
ReplyDeletewas just starting to open and the storm today broke it off. I staked it, so hopefully the remaining blooms will open. Mary
Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMary, I had Muscadet in a container for many years but this year it did not reappear. It was always loaded with blooms so it is one that I want again.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like "Scheherazade", however I know people who'd have trouble pronouncing that after a Saturday night party, ha.
ReplyDeleteRob, I have to stop and think before I pronounce the name, drinking or not. :)
ReplyDeleteOh what Equisite lillies and photographs, Phillip!!
