The subject heading will be apparent to most gardeners but in this time of pandemic difficulties, it's become even more of a haven. Nuff said. And now here are a few of the fruits of my labors.
Quesnelia seideliana. This unusual bromeliad has the bluest of blue flowers.
One of the most popular of the native penstemons, P. heterophyllus Blue Springs is also one of the most durable and adaptable.
Mimulus Anton. One of my favorite Sticky Monkey flower varieties.
Allium atropurpureum. This ornamental onion is a favorite destination for bees.
Pavonia missionum. A mallow family member, it has the loveliest coral-red flowers.
My 'Lily of the Year' so far is this L. Purple Marble. Huge wine colored flowers and lots per stem.
Chamaecyparis variety. This guy is showing off a lot of white new growth.
Everybody loves columbines. This is Aquilegia Rocky Mountain.
Gladiolus Las Vegas. This ever blooming species glad is just amazing.
Allium cristophii. Another ornamental onion - called Star of Persia - puts out these metallic purple flowers that are star-shaped.
Tweedia caerulea. One of my favorite milkweeds.
I forget the name of this Petunia but Van Gogh's Starry Night seems like a good one.
All right, everybody say it with me - Echinocereus pectinatus v. rubispinus.
Billbergia 'Pink Champagne'. For some reason, my flower looks different than the ones online for this bromeliad.
Ornithogalum Lemon Custard. Love the golden yellow flowers on this South African bulb.
Agastache Red Fortune. So many Hummingbird mints, so little time ...
Lily Royal Sunset. One of my new lily varieties.
Nasturtiums. Self-seeded of course.
Lily Orange Ton. Odd name but the very richest orange color.
Swainsona. This Aussie shrub is tougher than it looks.
Lily Lionheart. This lily is rebounding after a weak effort last year.
Epilobium canum. This CA fuchsia is taking over this bed!
Lily African Queen. Though still in bud, I liked the burgundy blush to the buds and top leaves.
Salvia cacaliifolia. This sage blooms year round and I have to keep cutting it back.
Brodiaea variety. This Ocean Blend mix has settled into a classic bluish-purple color.
Papaver somniferum White peony. From a seed mix. There's nothing like breadseed poppies.
Pelargonium Fireworks Red and White. Nothing fancy but a nice color combo.
