These loquat branches are hanging over the sidewalk, and I'm tall. So...
I help myself to one.
It's been years since I tasted a loquat. Delicious! Now I want to find a dwarf.
Holly Park.
Santolina chamaecyparissus syn. S. incana. Very drought tolerant.
I like pink yarrow.
I also like pink phlomis. Everyone has the yellow, but the pink is so worth it.
I like this house. They kept some of the old parts when they renovated.
I hope this house ages well! You never know.
These are like candy.
Felicia amelloides is very common here. I like it.
Obviously a professional job. Nice use of materials.
This looks professional too.
A closer look.
Acacia baileyana.
Seeds everywhere.
I guess I could have pulled the trash out of the nasturtiums before I took this picture.
I would like to have Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum f. nigrum. If this had been a more vigorous stand, I might have taken a little bit.
Okay, my barber's around the corner. You grab something to eat and I'll meet you here after my haircut and we'll finish this walk.

Okay, once I saw you eating it, I needed to know exactly what a loquat is, and I sure found out:http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/loquat.html. Yum! Those sunflowers looked a little funny with that palm-looking plant, but not entirely out of place...and colorful pots full of succulents-wow. I'm a "sucker for succulents" (kinda like "cuckoo for cocoa puffs"), and that aeonium-double wow! I like your walks-all the scenery but none of that bothersome exercise! ;-)
Great link! Did you see this? "Loquats can also be used to make wine."
Loquat wine! Fascinating!
Oh, now I see it's the California Rare Fruit Growers webpage. Yes, those people are apparently a lot of fun and very interesting. People I know rave about their meetings.
Cool...I'm trying to grow honeyberries (http://www.gardeners.com/Honeyberry--2-plants/default/31-293.prd), as well as jujube (http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~jennc005/DAI527/CaliforniaCultivar/jujube.htm) for something different. My climate's pretty cold, but my gooseberries have fruit this year, and I only planted them bareroot LAST year!
Interesting fruits! Lisa, where do you get your inspiration? I mean, where do you even hear about these things?
And when you say gooseberry, do you mean a species of Ribes? Which one? Is it thorny?
