- bumblebee collecting pollen from the california poppies in the backyard. #CaliforniaNativePlants #Bees
- Powerline Pink Hummingbird Sage is almost 6' tall now. It's so odd to see the flowers towering in the air 😀 #CaliforniaNativePlants
- 'All My Loving' hybrid tea rose blooming in my garden this week. #Rosewednesday
- Globe Mallow (Sphaeralcea) in full bloom, also seen Sulfur Buckwheat and verbena. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Eriogonum umbellatum var. polyanthum 'Shasta Sulphur' with a honeybee enjoying the flowers. This is a great plant with full season appeal. #CaliforniaNativePlants www.calfloranursery.com/plants/eriog...
- Newest addition to my native garden is Encelia californica 'California bush sunflower'. I'm waiting until fall to plant it in the ground. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Bumblebee with large orange sacks of pollen has moved on from the poppies and is checking out the 'Blue Cushion' Ceanothus. This one blooms into May and I also have a Skylark that starts blooming in June! Video seems to be down-scaled from phone but still wanted to share. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Bumblebee with large orange sacks of pollen has moved on from the poppies and is checking out the 'Catherine de la Mare' Penstemon. The colors make this one of my favorite #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Twilight Zone is one of my favorite #roses The colors are so rich and the smell is very fragrant. I also have Ebb Tide which was one of the parents used to create this one.
- Goldenrod Crab Spider defending his catch on the poppy flower this afternoon. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Penstemon 'Catherine de la Mare' offers such an amazing range of colors. The flowers will really start coming on strong this week, these are just the first few. I have quite a large patch of it after 2 years. #CaliforniaNativePlants www.calfloranursery.com/plants/penst...
- a pollinator using the bladderpod flowers. I'm not sure exactly what this is but they have been parked on the flowers for a couple days now. Plant it and they will come. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Heuchera 'Canyon Duet' blooming in my garden this week. #CaliforniaNativePlants www.smgrowers.com/products/pla...
- Heuchera 'Santa Ana Cardinal' is a hybrid that resulted from a cross between the Alum Root, Heuchera maxima and Coral Bells. The 'Mountain Pride' Purple Nightshade was planted a little too close but it seems to work. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Flannel Bush Fremontodendron 'Ken Taylor' is making me very happy with my purchase. I have a few months to decide where I want to plant this one. I may even consider a large container and see how it goes. #CaliforniaNativePlants
- Poppies blooming at the base of my Hollyleaf Redberry (Rhamnus ilicifolia). #CaliforniaNativePlants
