Morels

Excuse me for being a bit ignorant, but I'm not 100% sure when the season for morels starts, but if anyone has them and you like to give/sell some, let me know!

Does anyone know why Debbie Philips left RA as their CEO? It didn't seem super planned, but Joe and Bryn are doing great. I was more curious than anything due to her reputation as a hard boss.

Flower Report,

Some Irises in town are going for it, I am on the hill and mine are late.

I think we are passed peak dogwood, but still pretty good.

Daffodils are done.

Not sure anyone else grows Camassia but mine are near peak.

I don't live near any pears or crabapples, but I assume those are near peak.

Brunnera.. is near peak.

Clematis, mine are about one week or maybe one good rain from being great. But there are early and late clematis.

Azalea, probably near peak, one rain might blow the blossoms off.

Up next..

Peonies, ? And then I forget,

Rhododendron, I think the big boys by the ridges should be good soon. Some folks in the Plains have some big ones, and the fancy streets on the East Side have a few.

The wild Rhododendron Maximum are later but the cultivated hybrids are usually very soon.

anybody else seeing lightning bugs already?

I thought maybe it was a weird fluke last Friday night when I saw a couple, but I'm outside with my dog right now, and there's at least a half-dozem active in the grass and trees around us.

I did a brief search, and even as recently as 2024 it looks like they were expected to pop up more like end of May / beginning of June.

is anybody else seeing them already?

Places to Stay

My partner and I are coming to town for Indigo Girls on Friday. We are looking for somewhere to stay for less than $180/night. I’ve been checking Airbnb, VRBO and the

Hotels consistently with no luck. Curious if anyone has any leads, suggestions, hidden gems they’d be willing to share.
