Full Bloom and Leaf in Terwilliger Parkway
Meta Sequoia Trees (aka Dawn Redwoods or the fossil tree) were once thought extinct until living trees were discovered in inner China in the early1940’s.
The seeds were collected and shared with arboretums all over the globe, including ours right here in Portland. You’ll recognize these dawn redwoods on either side of Mt Hood in the background of this photo. They’re deciduous, so don’t panic if they loose their needles in the fall. Thanks to Doug Weir for the photo!
How about this rhododendron by the “comfort station” (aka bathrooms) built in 1916 on SW Hamilton?
Enjoy some up-close and personal time under our treed-canopy with our native plants and animals.
