I'd been grieving the (possible) passing of a California peony that was just barely hanging on until she succumbed to fully crisp last week. But you've thankfully given me hope that she'll return in the coming season.
This year I am really enjoying watching the goldfinches eat all the seeds on my dormant natives- evening primrose. White sage and all the ribes host flocks of birds
Yes! I've got a big gang of Goldfinches hanging out this year as well. They've been spending the summer devouring every White Sage seed in sight and are now starting to move on to the Sunflowers.
Mom! Dad! The new LA Native Plant Notes Substack just dropped this morning! I read it right away. Great writing. Looking forward to reading more 🌞
Brilliant writing, and I love the fades. This is Substack gold. Brown IS the new green!
Thank you for writing in support of our native plants who need to rest and recharge during the hot, dry months of our Mediterranean climate.
Thank you for this substack! Terrific writing.
Thank you!

Such a beautiful species and so challenging to keep alive in cultivation. You are right not to give up on it yet!
