		<title>Mystery plants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I spotted this thorny character at a nursery last week, but couldn&#8217;t find a tag identifying it. Whatever it is, I like it. Any guesses?



Same situation with this crazy fern. 



The other mystery I recently had on my hands has been solved, if you use flickr for photos on your blog you might run into [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8230;and we are live!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have launched plantlust.com, ahead of schedule even! So far we have around 700 plants in the system &#8211; enough to try it out and search for some drool worthy plants. I was really excited to find enough photos for Betula albosinensis var septentrionalis to show off what I want plant lust to do &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drum roll please&#8230; announcing plant lust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret that I love plants. I love looking at pictures of plants, shopping for plants, reading about plants. I never get tired of walking through nurseries and reading tags or flipping through the pages of garden books with big glossy photos. Every day I read gardeners&#8217; blogs: which plants they&#8217;ve fallen in love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reliable Sources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few weeks ago I had a to drive up to Seattle for a conference. I figured there surely must be an opportunity for some plant ogling along the way. Loree tipped me off to a place she&#8217;d heard of &#8211; Jungle Fever Exotics in Tacoma.
They don&#8217;t have a website, I couldn&#8217;t find hours online, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beach gardens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The last two winters in a row took down almost all the New Zealand Flax in Portland, and most Portlander gardeners seem to be swearing off the plant for good. How&#8217;s that going, by the way? I&#8217;ve already caved on that resolution. However, it&#8217;s not one of those plants you have to travel to far [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plants to go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I spotted these adorable takeout containers in a restaurant on a recent business trip to Seattle. Of course I had to stop for dinner, just to get close enough to get a picture.

		<title>Operation neighbor&#8217;s garden: an update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Notice anything fancy? Do you see it? I am typing this post from what some might call My New iPad. But I call it Purse Computer. In case it is not perfectly clear, I am a serious nerd at heart. I love the gadgets. Ever since laptops have been a thing, I have rarely been [...]]]></description>

		<title>The denial garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people name their gardens. I have a hard time even naming pets. I have to let their names come to me, otherwise they never fit, and some weird nickname sticks. How else could you explain a dog named Pants? I&#8217;ve never thought of any particular title for my garden but if it were to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Even more Cistus?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Too much blogging about the plants at Cistus Nursery? Not possible. Either you are lucky enough to be able to visit frequently but you can&#8217;t get enough, or you aren&#8217;t able to visit, and it is our duty as Portlanders to share the experience.

You must always stop and visit the mature tree fern. We rarely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finaly found &#8211; Saruma henryi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It was love at first sight with the velvety ground-hugging perennial at the Chinese Garden, that nobody seemed to recognize. Finally I got a plant name &#8211; Saruma henryi. A cousin of the Asarum (wild ginger) &#8211; the name is an anagram. Of course, in plant hunting, knowing the name is only half the battle. [...]]]></description>
