Pink flowers in Kubota Garden
I finally got to see the famed Kubota Garden, south of Seattle. Luckily, it was on one of the gorgeous days we had here last week. This pink flower also grows here and there in people’s gardens, but I don’t remember its name. Anyone know it? The leaves and flower clusters can be quite large, as big as a person’s hand or larger.
See Pink Saturday for more pink visions. And Shadow Shot Sunday for more interesting shadows.
We call that flower pig-squeak here but I don’t think that is its proper name. Named because when you squeeze and rub the leaves between your fingers they make a squeaky sound like a pig. I transplanted mine last year and I sure hope it makes it because it is the first hot pink flower to bloom here in spring. Enjoyed all your pics. I visited Seattle last year for the first time and thought it was beautiful. My son is stationed out there in the army. Have a great weekend. Blessings Meg
Your pictures of Seattle and the flower picture are very beautiful! I hope you are enjoying the weekend and Happy Pink Saturday! Sherri : )
Look at the small pink flowers against the big leaves. Nice….:D
Beautiful shot! It looks like Chatham Island forget-me-nots–at least, that’s what they call them here in NZ.
That is just gorgeous! Looks as if spring is already there…
Just beautiful Sares, good luck in the garden this year. Lots to look forward too, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
I’m sorry I don’t know the name of it but it’s lovely! Such a delightful shade of soft pink! The leaves are huge!
I hope you have a great week Sara!
