A pleasant surprise while poking around in the garden today: The reappearance of a scarlet cinquefoil (Potentilla thurberi) plant that I hadn't seen in several years because of the overwhelming onslaught of invasive Peruvian lilies. This plant is native to Arizona and New Mexico, but has several close relatives in Oregon. It should start producing bright red flowers any time now.
