Friends were visiting so we went up to Mt Hood. Threw some snowballs.

Then went for a leisurely walk around Trillium Lake.

Mary Spotted this Morel.

How does one confuse a Morel with a False Morel?

Strayed out into the bogs looking for interestingness and found it:
Dodecatheon jeffreyi

Across the bog, I could see hundreds of Dodecatheon.

Back in Portland, we visited Bovees Nursery. Mid-summer is their non-blooming season in general, but they still had quite a few things blooming.

A Rhodie.

Hardy Rhodie out front.

Their Cornus kousa out front is one of the best I've seen.

Found this guy in their greenhouse. Macleania insignis, supposedly. Weird flower = desperately need one.
