Look at the luscious rose hips I found while climbing around in the back of the deepest bed doing a bit of plant inventory. More bird food waiting for borby dinner guests!

Another #February2Frost late bloomer you may not have considered is Abelia. This is ‘Ruby Anniversary’ which usually starts blooming late July when Mr. CMG & I celebrate ours & keeps putting out new flushes until frost.

Subtle tubular white blooms with a lovely fragrance and faded dusty pink bracts that start off a rich red.

High of 85F today; 60F with rain (please!) on Thursday; then more normal temps after that but still no frosts in 10-day forecast so still enjoying beautiful pristine roses like this ‘Desdemona’.

A wide cupper white rose bloom with overlapping petals and still a peek at accessible yellow center for #pollinators. Deep green healthy foliage makes a nice background despite the rollercoaster temps.

Happiest Grasshopper in the whole world nomming our Amaranth! The incredible complexity of its mandibles had me transfixed.

Eggplants are still making new precious blooms & the temperatures are so nice. Now I’d just like a little rain, please.

Outdoor cats, 0/10. #GardenDogs #WeAreAllZoey nearly had this garden interloper by tail yesterday (it came to kill birds). This is a city—dogs, cars, e-scooters & bikes, coyotes, rodents filled w/poison, angry raccoons. Why risk your cat coming home hurt or never?

#NativePlants Passiflora incarnata is feeling itself in this weather, bringing Fritillary #butterflies caterpillar food to an otherwise unattractive difficult space but conveniently where it can’t run too far.
