One of the bright spots in my day is seeing the lupines pop in my garden. The Hesperoyucca flower stalk is still trying to find its way. #canativeplants

A stalk of my Ca White Sage was on the ground. we’ve had high winds this week!
At first I thought I’d make a bunch of smudges, but now looking at it I think it’s an appropriate amount of sage for a Mother bundle for the shitty times we are facing. #gardening #CaNativePlants #WhiteSage

Toyon, Heteromeles arbutifolia, or Christmas Berry, is an evergreen shrub in the Rose family. The first year, mine produced red clusters. #nativeplants #CaNativePlants #Garden #flowers

Quite pleased with this section of our garden! All California natives planted under our Coast Live Oaks on a north facing slope. The understory plants have been in for 2 to 3 years at this point.
