Stephanomeria. From the archives (2018). This is an example of an un-tended plant and how you would find it growing wild. #CaliforniaNative

Sweat be (I think) about to land, and collecting pollen from Stephanomeria.

I’m obsessed with #CaliforniaNative buckwheats. They are hearty, beautiful, and pollinators love them. This is a conejo buckwheat in my yard. 🐰 🌱 #Bloomscrolling

The last rosy buckwheat bloom in my garden. Normally it’s done blooming; I’m glad it held out until now. 🤩 🌱 #FlowerReport #CaliforniaNative

Narrowleaf milkweed is the #CaliforniaNative supporting monarch butterflies (they lay eggs on it).
Milkweed goes dormant in winter: leaves go yellow, drop.
I interplanted peas (a winter crop in SoCal). Been wondering when milkweed’ll go dormant. Leaves yellowing now. Good bc peas 🫛 are growing! 🌱

Salvia clevelandii is the Jackson Pollock of CA natives. Chaotic, uncompromising, and absolutely gorgeous when it decides to bloom-the smell-provokes wild thoughts.

The blossoms look like little trees; I have heard they paint them green and use them as trees in miniature film sets.
