Landscapes-Calif. Native and Irises!!!

Landscapes-Calif. Native and Irises!!!

This year’s April promotion is to have our customers send in pictures of either a mostly
native garden or a garden that features lots of tall bearded irises.  It’s much more instructive, interesting, and encouraging to see plants within the context of a landscape rather than all kinds of artistic shots of any individual plant. Here are a few of the garden
shots that our customers have sent in, I do appreciate it and I know others do
too.

Natives in spring-sages, mallows, chocolate daisies, western redbud, island mallow and more.
