Hi everyone! Found this site when trying to identify flower pictures my youngest son sent me from Seattle! I know a lot of our local ones but Seattle is a bit out of my territory! Truly appreciate the helpful members on this site! I love gardening and my dear husband put in 2 raised beds for me ( I have MS so must use a wheelchair or scooter when gardening) and I love growing tomatoes, peppers, cukes and herbs and usually beans and peas. But I really love perennial flowers especialy natives ( I am a retired science teacher, including high school biology and it drove me nuts that kids today can't identify an oak from a maple or have any idea what touch me nots or Joe Pye flowers are!) Anywya, that was kind of long, but Glad to be here! ( photo / image / picture from loretta426's Garden )
