October SAGBUTT at Soos Creek Botanical Gardens


Seattle Area Garden Bloggers United To Talk (SAGBUTT) 
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.

Please stroll with us on our tour;
documented below
with lots of pictures
and very few words.









Ever wonder what a snapshot of a fall in the forest would look like?
Wonder no more.










Hydrangea aspera leaves--HUGE!






The Acer Yvonne dubbed a VW Bug






Morris called this the Snake Bark tree. 
Does anyone know the botanical name?

Come join us, won't you?

  6. @ Morris called this the Snake Bark tree.
    Does 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.
