Seattle Area Garden Bloggers United To Talk (SAGBUTT)
met at Soos Creek Botanical Gardens
one chilly morning in October.
Some of the group couldn't make it because of illness,
some due to children's sports games, or scheduling conflicts,
but three of us did, and were treated to an intimate tour of the SCBG by the owner.

ReplyDeleteGreat pics! Love the Fuschias...one of my fave plants...and the birds.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I admire the writing style :) A little off topic here but what theme are you using? Looks pretty cool.
ReplyDelete@ Morris called this the Snake Bark tree.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the botanical name.
More than likely a maple but which one not sure several ones with this bark pattern. Acer = maple genus.
specific epithet could be pensylvanicum-Striped Maple, hersii-Snakebark maple or davidii- David Maple. If had to choose would be Snakebark. Really like the blog.
Enjoying your blog, absolutely love the pictures!
