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.

With Gusto
I thought I was going to lose this 'Royal Queen Purple Violet Tubeflower' (Iochroma) this spring when it came under attack by what I figured may have been thrips. I cut it back to almost nothing and it has rebounded to the best it has ever looked. The blooms are heavy and full with a beautiful deep color. I must remember to cut it way back again next year, although I could do without the thrip scare.
