I made another visit to the
Wildlife Botanical Garden in Brush Prairie, about 15 minutes from our house. We had visited
earlier in 2018. Since that time, it was not surprising to see that things had really grown. I was looking over the photos from my earlier post and I didn't even see certain plants this time (for example, the Mimosa tree).
Fall flowers, like rudbeckia and asters dominated -
 |
| Most of the plants were labeled but not all. I would like to know what this plant is - an aster I'm guessing but not sure which one. |
 |
| Also, this beautiful pine. |
Plants that I did recognize -
 |
| Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) |
 |
| Abelia 'Frances Mason' |
 |
| Bluebeard (Caryopteris) |
 |
| Red Bark Dogwood (Cornus alba) |
 |
| Dwarf Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Kelseyi) |
 |
| Cockspur Hawthorn (Crataegus crus-galli) |
 |
| Hydrangea paniculata |
 |
| Sweet Crabapple (Malus coronaria) |
 |
| Persicaria but not sure which one it might be |
 |
| Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) |
 |
| Scouler's Willow (Salix scouleriana) - Oh I wish I had room for this! |
 |
| Japanese Anenome 'Honorine Jobert' |
