Despite the three year drought in Southern California, my
folks and I racked up a good collection of flower blossoms for our dessert
plant wrap up. It amazes me that we are still adding new plants and flowers to
our virtual album after all these years, and in increasingly drier conditions! (See
previous albums for 2012 and 2013).
Our visit to the chaparral expanded our palette with
a collection of plants that are perfectly happy with little water, well-drained
rocky soil, and lots of sun. I’m still surprised to think of the huge Ceanothus
bushes we saw, with their beautiful blue or white blossoms, basically growing
in gravel! Here is this year’s album, showing some of our favorite flowers.
