Ever Watchful
Pin It
I didn't see this one until I almost put my nose on it while smelling the rose. It saw me however and was waiting to pounce.

Spring Azaleas
Pin It
Soft, sensuous, and delicate, these Azaleas are particular favorites of mine. Photo taken in Arcata just across the walking path from the Dogwoods.

Pretty Will Get You Nowhere
Pin It
Scotch Broom, or Cytisus scoparius, is a noxious weed in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, crowding out native grasses and wildlife habitat.
There were lots of broom plants on our property when we bought it 15 years ago and now, with hard work and diligence, only a few pop up now and then.
Like this one.
The shrub is easily 4 feet tall but I didn't see it growing amongst the huckleberry bushes until the other day when it seemed to blossom overnight.
It's a pretty thing in full bloom, I must admit, but I'm headed out with a spade and loppers right now.

Happy First Of May!
Pin It
A little dog-eared by snails, this is one of my favorite violas. It's called Etienne and it's ever so slightly scented, a rarity among its kind.
And these little beauties are dwarf snapdragons.
In my garden, the Etienne and the snaps co-habitate quite nicely.
