Margot Navarre is thankful for her special garden .
We live less than a mile from business district Bellevue , Washington . Our four - season garden is a tapestry of ground covers , aboriginal Tree , shrubs , and a few distinctiveness plant life . We inhabit in a place where homes are being torn down and supersede with megamansions without green spaces for gardening . We are thankful to have a third of an Akka to represent with and have tried to make the best of every part of it . TheCariocrinium gigantium(the largest species of any of the lily plants ) bloomed May 17 ( almost a month earlier than in previous year ) and is always a cause for a solemnisation .
