Mendocino Botanical Gardens showing an array of colorful plants, trees and flowers

The lovely Mendocino Botanical Gardens. This is part of what they call the Perennials Garden #bloomscrolling 🌱

I remember one of the guys (maybe Mike?) in A Chorus Line says he "went to PS Sh*t" but I dunno that it counts as a song...even though most of the ACL songs are shot through with dialogue or monologue.

Ha ha!

Figs with blue cheese, tomatoes with burrata, basil and olive oil, prosciutto

Summertime!

I bought this based on your recommendation and I loved it.

It's a beautiful evening in Napa Valley. #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling 🌱

Western Screech Owl

The little Western Screech Owl is visiting us again today. #birds 🦉

Florida will be too humid for them. There might be an iris variety native to Florida or adapted to the climate?

Probably, since they are California natives. But one can always give it a try if the climate is similar.

Our native California irises are going crazy this year. So pretty! #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling 🌱

We had a surprise visitor this morning! And he came back again later, with a date. It must be spring! #birds

White candytuft in bloom

The candytuft is on crack! #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling 🌱

I planted this in 2020 as a 5 gallon plant. It really took off. There are a lot of different habits though. Some are creeping groundcovers, some scrubby, some small trees. What is yours?

Blooming white narcissus in a fire-damaged landscape

Flowers that wouldn't say die after this part of my property burned in the 2017 Atlas Fire. They gave me hope. 🌱

Do you get those pretty Bluebonnets? And are they a form of lupine? They remind me of lupine.

I think mostly Sunset book's zone 14, it's Napa Valley. A bit of 15 closer to the ridgetops. I'm at the base of a smallish mountain so there's a little bit of coolness vs. full-on valley floor

Our native California ceanothus "Dark Star" is doing its spring thing! The color is intense indigo and I love it. #gardeningfeed 🌱

Mainly wildlife. A good habitat plant.

I love the graceful, airy shape of this native California ribes (currant) just starting to bloom. 🌱 #gardening

A sunset scene of a Napa vineyard with yellow mustard blooming.

It's mustard season in Napa Valley. So pretty! #winesky 🌱 #vineyards

OMG memories. I was at Cinecitta making a bad Italian movie while this was filming. I'd go to the commissary for lunch and it was full of the orchestra of little people in mirror-lapel tuxedoes. Also some monks around for The Name of the Rose. It felt like being IN a Fellini movie.

Scenic view from Newton Vineyard with poppies and grapevines

I'm so sad that Newton Vineyard just couldn't recover from the Glass Fire and will permanently close. It was a beautiful place, with beautiful wines. I took this photo when I was up there for a meeting, back when they were a client of mine. #winesky

Beautiful combo!
