I'm not surprised that the very adaptable Hemerocallis grows happily in both southern California and Maine, but I didn't expect to see Geranium 'Brookside' blooming this week in both my garden and yours. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-90547742495459468572013-06-16T14:21:54.769-07:002013-06-16T14:21:54.769-07:00So pretty.

I remember that marine layer. We lived in Irvine and would head to laguna only to find the marine layer. Not that my little surfers minded. But what I really envy are your cool nights. They make for a much more colorful garden and maybe the plants also like that cool mist in the mornings.Send us some cool please!Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574540292918761182.post-21943789608892778772013-06-15T23:26:05.113-07:002013-06-15T23:26:05.113-07:00So many lovely combos!

At least judging from the number of buds - 'sporadic' might be a good word to describe what's to come! The Gaura looks fantastic - so light and airy!
