Everything sure was blooming

Back on 3-21 everything was in fine bloom.

Juli's Impatiens.














Phacelia tanacetifolia















Front yard w/ poppies, Penstemon, etc































Cercis occidentalis had a better bloom this year than last. Each year it gets better.














Ceanothus 'Darkstar'















Blue Eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum)














Heuchera 'Wendy'




















Clivia














my VERY FAVORITE VEGETABLE GARDEN PLANT that I didn't even eat.













































I complained this year and last that I couldn't grow Miner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata). Well here it is. I was wrong. I got two plants after abusing a whole packet of seeds planted across two flats. I'd given up and these two guys showed up. I didn't even recognize it at first. This eventually went to a shaded part of the yard with it's buddy and did quite well. It rapidly lost the stressed look due to excess sun exposure.

  1. I've lost the miner's lettuce in my garden. Too much mulching I think.
