A few more photographs from our garden.



Allium unifolium growing with Arctostaphylos densiflora.



Dichelostemma volubile twinning around in the garden.



I never plant foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, I just let them seed around in the garden and keep the ones that seem like they are in good locations.



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



I let many common Sweet Peas, Lathyrus odoratus, seed around the garden. Now that the nights are warm, the fragrance in the evening is heavenly. I would not garden without them.
