Time for a Photo Extravaganza

March and April are definitely the months when my plants look their best. I want to get photos of them all, and the best way to showcase them is in a tightly cropped closeup. So that's what this post will consist of.

Prunus ilicifolia lyonii from the Channel Islands

Salvia brandegeei from the Channel Islands

Allium haematichiton growing in container

Dendromecon harfordii from the Channel Islands


I would call this Mimulus aurantiacus

I would call this Mimulus guttatus, a plant of streamsides and damp places

Baby Blue Eyes, Nemophila menziesii

Arroyo Lupine, Lupinus succulentus

Goldenstar, Bloomeria crocea

Tidy Tips, Layia platyglossa

Blue-eyed Grass, Sisyrinchium bellum

I think it is Polypodium californicum

Used to be known as Potentilla, now known as Drymocallis glandulosa

Euphorbia misera, an underappreciated plant from Baja and south San Diego

I would call this Dichelostemma capitatum

Heuchera maxima from the Channel Islands

Geranium sp.

Mirabilis laevis

Clarkia unguiculata

Purple Sage, Salvia leucophylla

Baja Fairyduster, Calliandra californica
