Urban hiking is great. Portland is beautiful. This we know.
First camellias blooming in the winter garden
Walked through here today. Thought it would magically turn to winter but it stayed summer.
A small corner of Portland's Hoyt Arboretum, the Winter Garden has a collection of plants and trees that are particularly showy in winter. Without leaves to block the view, the Corkscrew Filbert's twisting branches are easy to see if you know where to look. One of the parks largest Western Red Cedar trees dominates this section. Other interesting trees include the Torch Maple, that shoots its blood-red trunk from the ground, especially dramatic when it snows.
The winter garden is all right, might be a bit small compared to the other trails.
