Roses

The roses start blooming in my garden in March.

The various kinds bloom

at different times,

with different 

forms.

If I am lucky,

the roses will

keep blooming through fall.

The Drought Tolerant Garden

This garden is a mixture

of California native plants

and plants from

other dry parts of the world.

The colors are subtle.

The textures are extreme,

sharp and pointy and 

soft.

May in my Neighborhood

Just a short walk and so many flowers: Oenothera speciosa,

Yarrow,

three colors of Delphinium; white,

pale blue,

dark blue,

and Chinese Jasmine.

May in my Garden

As in many Maytime gardens, mine is filled with flowers.  Some of them are: Poppies,

Anemone coronara, 

Cymbidiums,

Alliums,

Alstroemerias, 

and scented Geranium.
