Dragged out the 8' ladder and took this one on a cloudy day.

S. arachnoideums cascading down a few stone steps.


The under-the-tree-semp garden. Notice that they are climbing up the trunk in some pix.

Wowzers I'm drooling on your raised beds and the tree garden! Maybe one day I'll buy up a neighbors house, tear it down and use the land to do that

That is amazing!

Beautiful Kate. I love the way some of the semps are taking up housekeeping in the tree.

I particularly love the photo of the cascading arachnoideum.

Your nursery is beautiful Kate! Everything looks so lush and green. That's a huge clump of cascading arachnoideums. Nice!!

What a great place I'd love to visit!

The photo of the arachnoideums in bloom is fantastic, Kate!!

WOW!!! Gorgeous!

And she sells semps.
I have some beauties I got from her.

Kate, you have a gorgeous nursery. I would never go inside the house if I have my garden that look like that.

Can you do one of those tour articles I see on here?

Wow, wow, wow...and more wows. Love it Kate lol now I wan't a stump.
Lynn, could you show us some of your favs you got from Kate?

Good idea Clint! Maybe you can suggest it to Sharon......

And others. I love every one of them I got from Kate.

Kate,

GORGEOUS place! Do you have a price list??

I'm speaking in Maine in early October with my topic "Hybridizer on the Loose" that will cover a lot of my crazy hybridizing projects, including the semps. If you'd like to attend, I'l give you the particulars. If you can't make it I might be able to drive and visit with you.

O boy Kate, lucky you.
Wish we could all go and hear you speak Kevin. Anything planned here in the Pacific Northwest any time soon? I know you just did one not to long ago. I was gone out of state and missed it.

Maine (at least some of it) is not too far from me. Where is your gig - I'd love to attend. And even better would be if you could visit. Remember, I have guest rooms.

I don't have a price list, but I do have an inventory list. Usually just send a couple of full-size and a couple of small ones (not new babies) for $5.00 within the continental US plus the actual shipping costs. A few exceptions to that for things like the heuffs and S. 'Fame Monstrose' that are slow spreaders.

Kate has discriminating taste in plants as well. Many fine varieties!

She sure does.

And she also sends beautiful plants, and many of them!

Kate,

My talk is Columbus Day weekend in the Portland area. Region One of the American Iris Society is sponsoring the event but I will forward you all the information about the meeting when I receive them. There is a luncheon along with my program and these are generally fun affairs as it's a room full of insane gardeners!

If this doesn't work for you I'll try to bounce up and visit your nursery. I was born and raised in MA and many friends and relatives are still there. I miss them but I prefer Oregon's climate. Much more benign!

Kevin
