A Douglas Iris

Salvia apiana. Smells like liverwurst.

Salvia spathacea. Smells fantastic! Hummingbirds love this plant.

Another one the hummingbirds love--Mimulus gutatus, commonly called "Seep Monkeyflower". Kind of weedy-looking for me, but a nice flower.

Coreposis gigantea. Usually considered "a weird-looking plant". I have two of them. The one in a container is doing much better than the one in the ground.

Ceanothus 'Julia Phelps'. One of my favorite ceanothus. This isn't a very good photograph of it tho'.

Ceanothus 'Centennial' is not a favorite, but I like the picture.

Moving on from natives...
The rock garden succulents are fetching.




I love succulents in general.





Wisteria... I plant I enjoy in other people's gardens.

Protea (Leucospermum, more correctly). I'm ready for the debut of dwarf varieties. Why hasn't that been done yet?


More tomorrow...
