April 2020 in the Northern Hemisphere

[Robert]

The white flowers of Triteleia hyacinthina glow in the evening light and the light of a full moon.



One of the many California native Dudleya species I have grown over the years. I lost the tags on all of them and I have to key them out again …when I get around to it – but I am not in any hurry – they are just beautiful to see in the garden.

One of my best seedlings of Eriogonum umbellatum var. polyanthum.

I can well believe  it, Robert-  a  very  fine  plant  indeed.

Maggi,

Yes, progress is made, but most frequently very slowly. Not only does this plant bloom well every season, but it is very easy to cultivate in ordinary well drained garden soil. This is not the case with many of our local Eriogonum species.

Steve's pictures are always such perfect portraits of really well growing plants!
