I live in "war ravaged" Portland, Oregon (well technically a suburb thereof) and I'm an obsessive gardener. If it's and outdoor green plan I have probably either grown it or want to. I post plant pictures (with alt text) over on Instagram under Passionatepropagator. And yes that was a bad name choice. I also enjoy reading, sewing, knitting and swimming (old, fat and slow master's swimmer) and hating on Trump and his evil minions.
I really need adult supervision at a nursery. I went to get a plant for a house warming gift. This is what I came home with. I don't want to confess what I spent on this haul.

Some pictures from my crevice garden. I'm calling this selection "The Blues"
Clockwise from top left:
Campanula chamissonis
Viola pedata (leaves look like birds' feet)
Polygala calcarea 'Lilet'
Aquilegia flabellata var. pumila

Pacific Coast Iris 'Blue Nebula'. Hybridized by my friend Emma Elliott. Super vigorous as you can see. #BloomScrolling
The whites of spring. Fritillaria meleagis and Trillium albidum. #BloomScrolling #RockGardening
Clarkia breweri at the Tilden Botanic Garden. Isn't it a cutie? I plan to hunt down some seed. #BloomScrolling
I'm hoping tonight doesn't mark the official beginning of WWIII.
Trillium kurabayashii x albidum. My own hybrid. I'm not convinced they aren't just color variants of the same species because they cross so easily. #BloomScrolling
Narcissus bulbocodium or close relative thereof. Seed grown.
A part of my garden. Blue pulmonaria, pink corydalis, yellow flowering hellebores and a pop of red from a Cowichan primrose. #BloomScrolling
If little upstart Mastodon can make it almost delightfully easy to add alt text to your pictures why can't Meta? Instagram gives you this scrolling text box that doesn't allow you to see everything you've written and Facebook is the multi click process. It's a general pain in the ass. People on Mastodon also actually include alt text, probably because the tag is a reminder. I like to read what others write. Bonus content for posts. #a11y #disability
