The trunk of my garden's bee-attracting Manzanita is such a rich red against the green of its leaves and white of its cascade of blossoms. #naturephotography #gardens #nativecaliforniaplants #Manzanita

The very common Arroyo Lupine making an appearance. Prolific re-seeders. They pop up everywhere in my yard. #nativeplants #nativecaliforniaplants

Came across this beautiful native manzanita while hiking. Was so inspired by it that I had to paint it. Original painting is 18x24in on canvas titled Rockville Hills

First wild flower of the year - California bluebell (Phacelia campanularia) a member of the borage family. I read it likes the Mojave Desert but seems to be happy here in zone 10b - Southern California. #nativeplants #nativecaliforniaplants

Wandering in the Los Osos State Oaks Reserve, I found a massive patch of Ribes menziesii, Canyon Gooseberry. I love the reflexed sepals.

The California Pipevine Swallowtail is a creature I've been watching, photographing & learning about for years now. Their caterpillars can only survive by eating one plant: the native pipevine that grows along the creek near my home.

Because nature isn't just home to butterflies & birds. It's our home too. The way I see it, you take care of what you love & you love what you actually stop to know.

These are my small act of saying, Know this. Love this. Protect this.

On our recent #HighSierra trip, we came upon a large stand of Drummond's Anemone/Anemone drummondii. Interesting that their buds' purple(2nd photo) only persists under their blooms once they've opened (3rd photo).💚 #NativePlants #NativeCaliforniaPlants #Macro #Nature #Photography #OriginalContent 📷🌱
Close-up of four showy white blooms with yellow centers. (These white Drummond's Anemone blooms are sepals and not petals.) Macro of four tiny purple buds with pink stems, emerging from sandy ground with dried pine needles. Macro of tiny flowers with newly opened blooms which are white on upper surface and purple underneath.
