The tax day addition. Fortunately for my procrastinating self, taxes aren't due till Monday, and my first appt was a no-show, so I have time to blog a bit.
On my little patio/potted garden I have a couple things blooming, the first four Ca natives. The biggest surprise were my western bleeding hearts (Dicentra formosa). They die back completely in the dry season, and I mean completely. I was a little afraid they wouldn't come back, but a couple of weeks ago they started leafing out and today, blooming beautifully.
My redwood sorrel (Oxalis oregana) has been green continuously, but just started flowering for the first time in almost a year. I like the second pic. I looks like the one flower is incredibly shy.
The columbine (Aquilegia formosa) has also just started to flower. It's also covered in these monstrous giant bugs. Well they look that way with my macro lens. Way to go macro lens. Boo to the bugs. They were actually pretty small, and have now met their doom.
The last of the Ribes sanguineum glutinosum. It was actual beautiful last bloom day, but I wasn't around to blog about it.
And this volunteer oxalis in one of my pots.
Happy bloom day, and thanks as always to
Carol at May Dreams Garden for hosting
bloom day.
