25 Aug 2023
* Interesting fact: "The pollen basket or corbicula (plural corbiculae) is part of the tibia on the hind legs of the female of certain species of bees. They use the structure in harvesting pollen and carrying it to the nest or hive where it is used as food by the colony."honeybeedahliagardenvolunteer park dahlia gardennatureseattle washingtonsummerflowerfloral

Magical Cherry Blossoms
“One of the legends suggesting why the cherry trees’ blossoms are so exquisite and ephemeral says that the fairy Ko-no-hana-sakuya-hime, the “maiden who causes trees to bloom,” hovers low in the spring sky, awakening the sleeping trees with her delicate breath.”- Ann McClellan

Peonies in the Garden
"The season's "Eye of the Tiger" display uses flowers and plants, pools of water and innovative lighting to share the culture and stories of China and Asia. The north bed features a moonlit scene of a teahouse, a pond of koi fish and an impressive display of peonies. The larger-than-life flowers are actually mosaics of crushed dried petals and bright pink preserved roses."
