The Portland Conservatory
Plant Exchange with Victoria Widner
April 20th, 2020 in Lake Oswego, Oregon
I took a photo of the Pacific Dogwood Tree in my backyard and posted it to Instagram. Victoria responded “State Flower from my hometown!” Victoria and I both moved to Oregon around the same time 3 years ago. We connected over both being new, wanting new adventures, and exploring Oregon’s beauty. After I learned that this flower represents home in Victoria’s life, I wanted to gift her a cutting to bring to her new home.
Victoria shared three tradescantia variations, a bear claw, and a succulent. I learned that Victoria is building a tradescantia collection.
