A Grower Perspective

Rainier Cherries

Posted by: Nancy Blum in summerpleasant hill nursery on

Our writings are usually about plants we grow or musings about the weather or other situations concerning plants, nurseries or other areas closely related.  This one is a bit of a stretch out of that realm.  We do have one Rainier Cherry tree in a number fifteen pot for sale, price of fifty dollars.  That’s the relation and now here is the connection.  Today is my husband Joey’s Birthday, so the dedication of this piece to him and a bit about him.  Years ago he was driving north from Oregon to Eastern Washington and then on to Puget Sound.


Michelle brought in this beautiful bouquet she snipped from plants around the nursery.  Isn't it so colorful and cheerful? There's some 'Bennerup Blue' Iris, Hemerocallis 'Stella d'Oro', Spanish lavender, Salvia 'Caradonna' and some ferns, peiris and evergreen branches to round out the bouquet.
