Newly flowering!
In the front yard, first of season Matilija poppy and in the back a plethora of small hollyock blooms.
The latter are being overrun with California plant bug babies (the little black early instars) but I am controlling them with repeated spraying with a mix of cedar oil, dish soap, and water. Yuck.

Repotted my grown-from-seed Agave parryi plants and pups. Hoping that I gave them a good start for their next stage in life.

Good morning! Today’s backyard viewing includes native penstemon with a bit of partridge feather on the side just getting started, and red poppies.

After years of drought and hardly any native bees, our bumper crops of flowers are bringing scores of carpenter bees, our shiny black gentle giants. They especially love this Hot Lips salvia.

For a look at flowering Dutch bulbs and poppies at the very front of the yard interplanted with rock purslane.

In the backyard today (sunny 60 degrees)
Golden spirea in full glorious leaf, peonies high as my hip, apple tree in leaf and with fat buds, and a barrel FULL of native baby blue eyes.
