This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

Maybe Next Year
I did not have much luck with attracting Monarch butterflies to the garden with the native milkweeds I planted last year. However they are adding a pretty autumn combination of colors to the flower beds that they are blooming in this month.
I find this perennial gets better with age, Sheila. And I also learned they don't like being moved..the hard way. Lucky they are blooming now for you...the seed pods will be cool too! Nice photo!

ReplyDeleteI think they are very beautiful. I've tried to grow them twice and both times failed.
