Some scenes from our Sacramento, California garden.
This tub full of Layia gaillardioides has been blooming for many weeks now.
Erythranthe bicolor RMB 1017 has also been blooming for many weeks now. I am getting a great deal of genetic variability with this accession. Some plants produce flowers abundantly. Some are upright in their growth habit, a characteristic I have observed in other accessions. It will be enjoyable selecting and working with these plants into the future.
DIplacus kelloggii RMB 1053 is another new accession. I found Erythranthe bicolor RMB 1017 and Diplacus kelloggii RMB 1053 growing in the same location in close association with each other. They both bloom at the same time and combined attractively with each other in their natural rock garden setting. I will see if I can duplicate this in our Sacramento garden.
Twining Brodiaea, Dichelostemma volubile, is a common, widespread species in the lower elevations of California. The vining flowering stems travel around, with flowers appearing in surprising locations throughout the garden.
Allium unifolium – It is difficult to improve upon this beautiful, easy-to-grow species. There are many local species of Allium to work with in our part of Northern California. Working with the other Allium species will keep me busy for many years.
