West Seattle, Washington, April 19th 2012

Weather- Overcast, mid 50's
Mid afternoon

These were plants observed in the West Seattle area, most likely planted as part of the decorative foliage for the neighborhood. I'm not sure if any of these plants would grow in a untamed situation without any human intervention, but they are quite common in my neighborhood and are also worth mentioning, as they dominate the landscape and must have some impact on the local flora and fauna if only through the volume available in the area. there is also many squirrels, crows, raccoon, possums and mice as well as rats in the area, which are able to adapt to the suburban landscape to their advantage.
