Sunday at the Garden 3/7/2021 - a new Community Thread.

A Sunday morning scene from the Portland Japanese Garden. This is part of the area in the garden known as the Tea Garden from a spring visit.

Edit - Jim came up with the idea of having a Sunday Garden Community thread focusing on images from locations similar to the Portland Japanese Garden. I like the idea so I am inviting others to add in your own images of formal gardens or similar scenes.

Great image Alan, beautiful garden.

I don't have many from formal gardens, but I have a few from my home in Spokane.

Nice one Alan, here is my shot from Japanese Gardens Portland. I shot this in 2011. My wife and I loved going to this place.

Rhododendrons wont grow in Salt Lake and were marginal in Spokane. best on the Coast.

Hey Chuck, you got to the Japanese Gardens too? I feel like the odd man out. I need to get there one day.

Not the kind of places I frequent, but we stopped at an arboretum in eastern Iceland on one trip.

Dangit hahahahah!

I didn't know what they even were before moving up here and discovering they are just about everywhere. They thrive in the wet and cool environment west of the Cascades.

f you look carefully my shot of the Japanese Garden has about a dozen variants of rhodies in it. All of the blooms in the scene are rhododendrons and the plant along the lower right are rhodies just about to bloom.

Your yard is so beautiful, Ben. From all of the images I have seen you should have been a landscape architect.

Weyerhauser has a rhodie garden in WA. Everything from ground cover to 30+' tall trees. It was pretty amazing to walk around.
