I'm trying desperately not to go to any nurseries...I did stop at one the other day and I was fortunate in that they only had one plant that I 'need'...and they only had one 4" pot of it...Purple Threeawn Grass, a native...has seeds so I can multiply for later use in the natives landscape. Most plants I can pass by right now, but there are several on my 'must have list' and I'm afraid I'll run into them. Euphorbias and several other echiums and cistus that I 'need'....

Rose 'Souvenir de la Malmaison'...

My amaryllis which started to show its bloom last week of March, full show now this April..and making a second flower stalk:



Orchids in the growcamp in bloom: Wils. Hilda Plumtree 'Purple Wings', Onc. Sharry Baby, noid odontoglossum, Max tenuifolia


Pel. H. 'Vancouver Centennial' has started to make its blooms as well: And even better when hummies enjoy visiting them too

I just love all the pictures. Pells growing wild under the trees and plants that I can only grow in the summer. Just beautiful. The sea lavender is so beautiful. So envious!

I went to San Diego Botanical Garden today...got lots of pics to post, be back a little later....
