Wednesday Vignette - Sometimes You Get Lucky

On Saturday, we drove up to Sorticulture in Everett.  We drove through several heavy rain showers and even thought of stopping on the way to buy a raincoat or umbrella. as Sorticulture is an outdoor festival.  In a surprising turn of events, (rain had been predicted.) the sun decided to shine and the day was warm and beautiful.  Lucky. (A post or two about Sorticulture will pop up one of these days.)  I could have spent the entire day at Sorticulture but after five hours,  the non-gardener deserved a change of scenery.  The plan was to go straight home but the lady in the phone said that Sunnyside Nursery wasn't far.  I'd never heard anything about that nursery but can only say wow!  What a fabulous place. Again, a post or two will follow.  A lucky find.

While wandering the spacious nursery, a Western Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio rutulus) butterfly landed on a Buddleja and seemed very happy to totally ignore me as I snapped a few pictures of it.   Usually wildlife doesn't pose so nicely for me.  Sometimes you just get lucky!
