Wishing all a peaceful evening. 6 p.m. in my garden #midnightromanticarose #californiagarden #bloomingnow

Young orange tree

I’m so pleased my little orange tree is thriving in its final spot.

Because it's been a long day and we all have so much on our minds, here's a little bit of joy from my backyard: My #sheilasperfumerose is about to bloom! #californiagarden

Going to transform this area come Spring —> adding rows of raised beds and reducing the number of grow bags

Parodia horstii has started to bloom. I love how bright these flowers are. The photos don’t come close to capturing how vivid this pink is.

Snapdragon DoubleShot (seed) Appleblossom Hem Genetics is so beautiful, the double-petaled snapdragon flowers make for a beautiful, impressive stem. There is a little Nemesia Escential Zazzleberry (Plant Haven). #flowerpower #snapdragon #californiagarden #containergardening #pinkflowers

Clusters of pink pantaloon shaped flowers with white “lace” trim at the narrowed bottom. (Edited image for clarity purposes)

On the street in San Francisco yesterday. A1 Sauce says it’s a red current. #CaliforniaGarden

Spotted this Isopogon formosus at Flora Grubb Gardens in Marina del Rey. Total zone envy—this beauty wouldn’t stand a chance in NJ, but it thrives in California’s mild, dry climate.

Nothing lifts my mood more than realizing the California poppies are in bloom! I encountered these on my walk today. #longbeach #californiagarden #gardening

SO HUGE gardening win!!! I have these wine barrel planters from Home Depot, but every year, the critters dig up my flowers before they can bloom. This year, I figured out what to do! I bought clear umbrellas to cover them at night and create a little greenhouse! #californiagarden #flowers

Took a walk with the pup and came across these torches blooming. Anyone know what variety of Kniphofia this is? 🌱 #californiagarden #garden #gardeningfeed #gardening

Small batard-shaped pod of mantis eggs on a dried yarrow flower stem.

🌱 Cutting back the dried yarrow flowers at the office when I discovered this. Sorry, and very excited to have mantis in our patio! Tucked it back in a safe area for hatching. #urbangardening #californiagarden

Last of the hot peppers trying to hang in until the new year… 🌱
Same, peppers, same.
