Portland: Floramagoria (part 2, up close)

In yesterday's post I established that the Floramagoria garden was a party. Today I'll show you why you want this to be one of those all-night-long parties: there are so many details, you'll need hours to enjoy them all!

At other times it's plants:

  4. Love, love, love your detail shots. It's those little things that we gardeners find joy in on a daily basis but, like many garden visitors, I was so blown away by the big picture, I didn't focus on the wonders you caught! Good lesson for me for future garden visits!
