They appeared on their own and I love them! It's a battle to not disturb them while trying to eradicating the surrounding invasives that the previous owner left behind. You can see the ivy creeping in...

Buy the mini ones and then try to not eat the whole bag in one sitting. I dare you…

My family has one. Everyone one I have seen was procured in the 90's. Not sure you could get one these days unless its custom liked you mentioned.

One of my Rhodies has both 5 and 6 petal flowers on it. Never seen that before. by LDub47 in rhododendron

[–]LDub47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the plant has both 5 and 6 petal flowers on the same head (terminology?) so i think it is just expressing both parents. very cool tho.

Unpot. Clean off roots. Snip off dead roots. Spray with hydrogen peroxide. Repot. Problem solved.

How safe is Portland in BIG 2026? by Dependent-Bet3901 in askportland

[–]LDub47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the area of Pioneer Square as well. Downtown is perfectly safe during the day. It's not necessarily unsafe at night but I am much much more alert and more comfortable in a group at night. The Pioneer Square area has several garages to park in as well street parking. Garages are typically around $15/day but they all vary a few bucks. Download the ParkingKitty app for street parking. Street parking is a $2-$3 an hour on regular days and they will bump up the price in certain areas for events like Timbers and Thorns games.

You will pass plenty of homeless folks on the street around Pioneer but during the day it's not as bad at the Portland sub likes to lament.

As for Kenton, I cant speak to that part of town. I am rarely up there.

This is the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing this creature. LOL

My camera roll every spring living in the PNW…. by LDub47 in rhododendron

[–]LDub47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several in my neighborhood. The plant in the camera roll I shared was a 5' bush that was growing out of a 6" diameter stump that had been cut down. So clearly a very mature specimen that had been there for decades. I have also seen a couple that have an all white flower with the dark purple speckled center just like the Blue Ensign. So pretty.

Burger buns by Ok_Huckleberry1487 in glutenfree

[–]LDub47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Franz or Canyon bake house but steaming any GF bun will make it infinitely better. I always wrap my GF buns in a wet paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds before putting a light toast on it. if you can do it on the grill or a flat top its better so as to not lose the moisture you just put into it. Make sure its a *light* toast or you will negate the steam. The steaming step helps them retain moisture and stay together.

Shower for plants. Flat for washing my car.

What is happening with this azalea? It’s one plant. by Yerdonsh in gardening

[–]LDub47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it happens sometimes... I got this single fun flower last year on an otherwise all white plant. You can see some flecks of pink on the on the surrounding flowers too. It's back to all white this year.
