Hello from Seattle again everyone!\u00a0 I don’t know exactly what it is about this place that I love so much.\u00a0 Is it the coffee in this city? Perhaps.\u00a0 It’s a hauntingly beautiful city indeed.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, for now a few photos to share with y’all.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I did get a chance to visit a couple great friends and Sarracenia inspirations to me –\u00a0 Jerry Addington and Karen Oudean.\u00a0 It’s always great to see them and reconnect. \u00a0 I am always awestruck and dumbfounded whenever I visit them,\u00a0 it’s just amazing stuff happening at their nurseries. \u00a0\u00a0 (I’ll add a post later on with more photos and perhaps even video.)<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0 It’s very early in the season and pretty much all of the Sarracenia up here are dormant versus the active growth I have back home.\u00a0 Heck, today it was snowing.\u00a0 Snowing<\/em>! For me this is a big deal – I don’t get snow where I live.\u00a0 I was watching the white flurry fall from the sky in utter amazement.<\/p>\n

I only have a couple days left here in Seattle – and I am savoring every moment of it. \u00a0 Sleepless in Seattle I am, for I am in love with this city.<\/p>\n

A special THANK YOU to Jerry Addington and Karen Oudean for your hospitality, generosity, kindness and inspiration. Thank you so much!<\/strong><\/p>\n
