Above is the Bee's Bliss Salvia which looks lovely in the morning light.
I have been busy weeding and propagating and will have lots to say when I have a minute to sit. I uncovered the "meadow" (the floating row cover was looking suspiciously lumpy) and found any number of big weeds there - and a few seedlings. So I'll be positive about the seedlings, and it's interesting to try to ID some of the weirder weeds.
In the meantime, I don't have much for bloom day. Everything is pretty quiet in my yard right now. Maybe everything is trembling in its little rooties because I've been weeding up a storm - a large part of restoration is removing what you don't want.
I'm in a rush between events - I'll just post one more, a closeup of ceanothus, Dark Star.
Ta-ta!

Very pretty pictures!
Lovely and they are probably...trembling in their little rootsies! gail you will love the word verification...It's minuses! Isn't that perfect for weeding!
Oh I agree about the Bee's Bliss in the morning light. It's sights like that that keep us all gardening isn't it? Looking forward to the progress of your various projects...
A fellow California native plant gardener! Your Ceanothus is gorgeous.
The Ceanothus is such a lovely shade of blue, I'd love to see how it looks next to it's companions in your garden.
I absolutely love the mental image of "trembling little rooties". Don't know the book Epitaph for a Peach, but will be checking it out now. Your photos make me want to jump on an airplane to CA.
Your Bee's Bliss is delightful and the ceanothus is a gorgeous shade of blue! There's been a whole lot of trembling in their rooties going on around here too! That's one good thing about annual summer droughts, it cuts down on the weeding. . .
I agree with Anne... that first shot is very nice :-D
Ah... and I love the blue of the ceanothus too! Happy GBBD :-D
We are in very different climates, but I also am trying to incorporate more native plants on our property, and eradicate the invasive ones!
Love the ceonanthus photo.
