Coming home after a weekโs hols can be a downer but the garden lifted our spirits - seeing the ceonothus was the tops - and the tree is now over 20 feet tall ๐

The second clip shows a Honey Bee disturbed on Ceanothus by a Dark-edged Bee-fly.
Spring has started quite slowly: still relatively few nectar sources and daytime temperatures need to be a bit higher too.2 of 2

Did I mention yet that the #Ceanothus in #SF are blowing my mind this year? ๐
#Ceanothus about to pop. Looks like this one might be the (rarer) white coloured one? #PlantsOfMastodon
Not the best photo (would have been better in the morning, when itโs in sun), but this #Ceanothus at the corner of Randall and Whitney in Noe Valley / Glen Park has got to be amongst the most beautiful in the city. It grabs your attention from a block away, and is a revelation up close. ๐ #SF #FlowersOfMastodon

The #Ceanothus are absolutely **going off** right now in #SF. I wonder if during the drought years they just werenโt flowering as prolifically, and I just forgot how beautiful they are when they do? ๐ค #FlowersOfMastodon

Here's my most unsettling #ClimateDiary entry this year: My glorious #ceanothus bush, host of thousands of bees when in bloom, is dying. First pictured is from ... 2021, I think? Last year we lost a few limbs. Look at it now. And no, it's not dead from the fireplace, which we barely used anyway. I was always very careful to have tiny fires and protect this shrub, which I adored. #PacificNWUSA #PacificNW #SWWashington #CamasWA

Good morning from @deerparkmonastery where the #Ceanothus (aka, Blue Jeans) are happily blooming in the chaparral.
I first saw this shrub growing on the grounds of Strathclyde University, It was flowering spectacularly and I just had to get my oil pastels out!
This is one of my large artworks.
