They are making a pretty showing in several places in my cottage garden and really fill in the dull spots nicely. I love it when nature does the planting.

Mine started coming up on their own and self-sow. There used to be pink and double purple ones, also, but single blue ones are all that remain now. They are gradually dwindling in number because their favorite spot is being taken over by the lemon tree. I've tried to spread them around but they haven't taken anywere else.

My shasta daisies spread themselves gradually out of the beds and had to be dug up from the path and put back where they belong. Sometimes it almost seems like some plants have minds of their own and move themselves no matter where you put them. My Johnny jump ups do that too. They are no where close to where they started several years ago. Very Happy

May pictures - Though this has been a poor rainfall year, there is still a decent amount of flowers. They are well-designed for this climate.

California poppies - The local native form is smaller and more yellow than the "garden variety".

Well the grass is up to Smokey's belly here. We've had plenty of rain lately.

Smokey is a lucky dog. We haven't had nearly enough rain but at least we have had more than you have, Aloe. It amazes me that anything can still be alive in your area but your scenes and plant pictures are just beautiful

We got some rain today that helped settle the dust. It at least helped clear the air a bit. I regret that I have planted so many plants that need water in the past. I should have gone for mostly native plants that could manage if it got dry. Live and learn....and spend a lot of time watering...huh?
