Eye candy from Joy Creek Nursery, Scappoose, Oregon.
Clematis is a Joy Creek specialty.
'Duchess of Albany' (maybe):
'Rooguchi' (likely):
'Minuet', maybe:
Lilies:
I think we may have arrived at Peak Lily:
The Fling weekend was unquestionably Peak Monarda:
Also Peak Rudbeckia:
And maybe Peak Hydrangea:
The Portland area is cool-winter enough to grow Hostas:
Happy eyes.
