In the pink
Well, it's raining in Seattle...so here's some pink to brighten things up: a salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) flowering overhead with a nascent berry forming, and a cluster of red flowering currant blossoms (Ribes sanguineum). These were growing in the Ravenna Creek ravine in Seattle's Ravenna Park. They are increasingly popular as garden shrubs, which pleases the ecologist in me.
