Definitely Evening Primrose
I grow it and use it ; it’s medicinal and all parts of the plant are edible, even the roots. I add flowers to salads, stir fry leaves, etc

I just love these cute flowers
I got a late start on my Sugar Peas, and snow peas but they’re both producing now
I didn’t realize there were #MagnoliaPeas seeds in the mix. Fun surprise 😊

Thank you! 💚

Thank you! I’ll look into this; I know it’s a vintage. It’s so lovely

A few of the new blooms today in my backyard
I don’t know the variety of Iris, it was gifted to me, and was originally planted in the 1950’s!
The second is a #CAnative Bush Anemone, one of my most gorgeous of plants

In my front yard garden

She’s been here all morning, & found one of my Pipevine- their sole host plant
I wonder if this is one that I raised and released, coming back to lay her eggs where she herself began last spring as an egg on the underside of a leaf

sitting at my pond and saw this! I’ve never seen this before. Damselflies, looks to be a male (bright blue) carrying female by head
He’s flying her around and she’s depositing eggs! I’m watching her ovipositor drop them
I watched them for over 30 minutes, very cool! #pondlife

A Ca Pipevine Swallowtail eclosed from it’s chrysalis
Released on Alyssum and it is nectaring. Such splendor
