The area next to the sidewalk, where the city put some really nice soil last summer, still looks great: the baby blue eyes #Nemophila and the sea blush #Plectritis has been joined by white meadowfoam.

Last weeks heat knocked off the Nemophila and Plectritis in the rest of the lawn. I'm guessing the soil in rest of the lawn is fairly compacted, so the root systems couldn't deal with the heat. I'm not optimistic about the plants reseeding in those areas.

Seablush (Plectritis congesta) is putting out lot of pink blooms in the front #BeeLawn. It looks great with the baby blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii). I think the mini lupine (Lupinus bicolor) will be the next to show color.
