For its first year, our Rock Garden looked like a pile of rock. Visitors would ask when the plants would be added. Now we’re in year two, and the plants are finally making themselves known, like this Penstemon rupicola #rockgardens #penstemonrupicola #penstemonsociety
Saxifrages get their name from the Latin to break rock, which may reference their rocky alpine habitat or their use as a medicine to dissolve kidney stones. This species (S. epiphylla) is not of alpine origin, thriving in Heronswood’s Woodland Garden, but most saxifrages prosper only in the rock garden
Wow! A bit of sunshine and everything pops! Come to Heronswood this weekend to enjoy our floral fiesta!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Our first flowers on Rhododendron maoerense, from Guangxi Province in China. Impressively hairy pedicels
Our dove tree is having its last hurrah in the Heronswood parking lot. The flowers are very small with no petals - you’ll see male flowers in pic 2 - and it’s the showy white bracts that create the display (and name)
Ferns reproduce using spores released from structures on the leaves called sporangia. In native parsley fern (Cryptogramma acrostichoides) only some of the leaves produce spores. In this plant in our Rock Garden, the tallest leaf is fertile, while the rest are sterile
Our robin has successfully raised two chicks atop a bamboo pole under the shed roof. This is her second nest after the first fell down
Well, we finally got the better of procrastination and planted this bed, only a year after it was built. It’s filled with ‘Mediterranean’ plants from Chile, South Africa, Australia, California and elsewhere, which should thrive in this south-facing location on gravelly soil. It’s right next to the ticket office, so check it out on your next visit
Heronswood has a world-class collection of hydrangeas. Join hydrangea evangelist Dan Hinkley for an online webinar tomorrow (Monday May 9th at Noon Pacific) as he delves into their magic.
