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.
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
Ceanothus pumilus is native to the Siskiyou Mountains in Oregon. It creeps along the ground in habitat. This is my second attempt at growing it having killed off the first one in my sand bed front yard. Oops. I hope to take cuttings from this plant and try it somewhere else. #BloomScrolling #RockGardening
Corydalis malkensis at a friend's house. She has it seeding all over her troughs. I've had trouble establishing it but last year she gave me some corms and this time they took. I'm looking forwards to having lots of this little ephemeral beauty in the future.

Erythronium multiscapideum in my crevice garden. I haven't been able to get any seeds from it even with hand pollination so this year I bought three additional very spendy plants and hand pollinated again. I'm hoping they just need to out cross for seeds. This plant is always my first erythronium to bloom. If you think it looks a lot like a tulip that's because they are close relatives.

Amaryllis (technically hippeastrum) of the Dutch flavor blooming it's fool head off with four stems! #bloomScrolling
Anemone fulgens blooming in my front rock garden. I love this plant. #bloomScrolling
I'm slowly developing a collection of these seed grown beauties. Tecophilaea cyanocrocus is only found in a few mountain areas of Chile. To see this plant is to want it. I can bloom it in about four years. #bloomscrolling
My hearth is protected by the gnome brigade. Recently I had to do some repair work on them because moths found them and did their dastardly work. #knitting #gnome
