Portland Plants 12:

Last week was mostly rainy and cold. I went out for some photos during a dry period, but I've been hesitant to post them because I always like to have unpublished photos on my hard drive. It's like how spending your last dollar is much harder than spending your second to last dollar. I find comfort in knowing that I've got something in the bank.

Anyways, the weather was nice today and I've got a fresh batch of photos on my hard drive. Here are some of my photos from last weekend.

According to the tag, this is an Aquilegia. What an impressive flower!

This is a really strange looking flower. I don't see these very often, but I saw some more of them today.

This is a Bellis. It looks like all of the pedals are actually hollow tubes. Odd.

I don't know if this plant actually has flowers, but the leaves are so bright that I had to include it.

This tree isn't all that interesting, but it really grabbed my attention. This is part of a HUGE tree that's 2 or 3 times taller than the house it's planted in front of. From a distance, it just looks like a normal evergreen tree, but up close it looks more like a succulent shrub instead of a tree.

This is just a pretty front porch that I liked.

I love how vibrant some of these flowers are.

I don't know what this plant is going to look like, but it piques my curiosity.

I liked these tiny little blue flowers, but I didn't get very good photos of them.

I've been seeing more and more of these flowers with the red/pink outside and the yellow center.

I think this is a cherry tree. I like the white outlines on the little flower buds.

I don't understand how it can already have dead cherries on it. Maybe they're leftovers from last season :)

Last is a flower that one of my neighbors is growing. These seem pretty common around here.

That's going to do it for this post. I hope you enjoyed some of my photos.
