Greetings gardeners.<\/p>\n

I’m giving the gray matter a wee rest this week, so I don’t have a story for you. I know, hard to believe. Instead, I thought\u00a0I’d share a few pictures of plants behaving themselves in the late summer garden. Have you noticed\u00a0when\u00a0you focus closely, there’s so much wonder to behold–even in the dog days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ricinus ‘New Zealand Purple’<\/a> aka Castor Bean, catches everyone’s eye. It’s bold and braggy, and why wouldn’t it be. But don’t eat it. Danger, Will Robinson.<\/p>\n

Here it is from the other side–with Melianthus major cozying up.<\/p>\n

\"Melianthus<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

I keep showing casing the Little Blue Stem, but ooh la la, it is so sexy. According to rumor, it seeds around too. Come next year,\u00a0I hope to have some to\u00a0share.<\/p>\n

\"Schizachyrium<\/a>
Schizachyrium scoparium ‘The Blues’<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

This California Fuchsia is planted near the rim of the wall. This time next year, it\u00a0should be\u00a0spilling over. Won’t that be great?<\/p>\n

\"Zauschneria<\/a>
Zauschneria septentrionalis ‘Mattole Select’<\/a> aka Mattole Select California Fuchsia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m going to add the name of this plant as soon as I find it–or someone tells me. Better for the brain if I take the easy route. From the Xera Nursery<\/a> Dudes. Whatever it is, I’m quite liking it.<\/p>\n

In BREAKING NEWS, we have an I.d.\u00a0Crithmum maritimum<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Groovy<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

Ogon Nishiki Japanese Star Jasmine, double swoon–and then some. I’m going to need more.<\/p>\n

\"Trachelospermum<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

Isn’t Tower of Jewels dreamy in its rosette stage. I’m not saying it’s bad when the jewel tower appears. But by then, it’s almost like an entirely different\u00a0plant. Fingers crossed it makes it through the winter.<\/p>\n

\"Echium<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

Hope you’re not tired of seeing the Opuntia from the Opuntia Santa, but honestly, how does this\u00a0plant grow so easily? Throw a paddle on the ground. Done!<\/p>\n

\"Opuntia<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

We’d love to hear, what’s ain’t misbehavin’ in your garden.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n
