Last of the redbuds.

The redbuds drop flowers that are still in the height of bloom, no rot or brown. The driveway looked like there had been a parade there for two days.

Nearly the last Camellia blossom this year.

Provencal Sedum, dock

This is a common stonecrop, or sedum that I brought back from Provence by mistake. It was in my vest pocket from a walk. Sedum, being very drought resistant, had no trouble coming back here. I looked it up in plant directories and it is not a threat in any way, as the same succulent grows her. So, I put it in a little stone container on the dock to have a reminder of Provence every time I'm out there.

At lunchtime here, we drop what we're doing and go eat;-)

Pernicious weed, Asian bed

I have a bed planted to four Asian trees, a Bottlebrush tree, a Loquat, a Japanese male and a Gingko. The ground beneath them had become choked with this invasive monster. Very soft and a lovely green but a rabid grower with no need of much soil. I finally tackled the invasion as you can see in the two posts below.
