Top 9 on Instagram

More and more people seem to be questioning the time they spend on their various social media channels. The exodus of my friends from Facebook has been noticeable, most of them heading to Bluesky—although those who come back to report say the plant-centric groups there aren’t yet what they are on Facebook. This is why leaving any of them would be hard for me, because it’s all about the plants and the plant people.

The core group of blogs I read is still relatively strong. Thankfully. And I can still waste plenty of time on Instagram, although I’m frustrated by the algorithms thinking they know more about what I want to see than I do. 
In past years  feed would have been filled by now with people who’d ran the stats and were sharing their Top 9 posts of the year, but I haven’t seen even one this year! So, I thought I’d be the first. Afterall I am a very consistent—if late to the party—adopter of these things…
My nine squares (based on “likes” from my Instagram followers) are:
1. My garden, the peeling bark of Arctostaphylos x ‘Austin Griffiths’ with an Agave parryi ‘JC Raulston’
2. A much-photographed vignette in the Indianola, Washington, garden of Nancy Heckler
3. My garden, blooming Mahonia x media ‘Charity’
4. My garden, ice on a NoID Cholla during last January’s horrible storm
5. Jurrasic garden beauty from the Vancouver, Washington, garden of Laura and Charlie Heldreth, @thehumminggardener
6. A gorgeous tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica) in Jeff Fairchild’s Portland garden
7. My garden, the blooms of Billbergia nutans
8. My garden, the view across the front garden from the driveway
9. A shot I couldn’t resist taking at Portland Nursery. We’d just come out of the coldest week on record here in 30-some years, so naturally their plants were under protection and the tables were empty–but the shot pretty much summed up how I (and many others) were feeling about winter
