Once again I was blessed to enjoy another vacation in Juneau Alaska. We shared excellent food, wonderful fellowship, and amazing fishing. Fishing was special due to several days of calm seas which allowed us to “whack and stack” our limits of salmon, halibut, and coveted black cod. I had the privilege to trek through the Jensen- Olson Arboretum again and it is a place that keeps getting better with each and every visit. It is a gardener’s oasis and contains our featured flower of the month, the primrose. Primula Vialii is from the plant family Primulaceae. It is a leafy bush like plant with dark green foliage. Its blooms range in colors of purple, white, red and pink. Primroses are very hardy and adapt well to numerous soil conditions. They can be sowed from seed indoors during the winter months and transplanted in spring. The flower pictured below is called “Poker Primose” Enjoy! Cheers
