Ceanothus "California Lilac" blossoming in nature
πΏIt's Ceanothus season
Indigenous Californians used the flowers and seed pods as a gentle soap for centuries
Pick a small cluster of blossoms
Add a little water and rub your hands together
Result: It creates a natural, fragrant lather!

Trying to get a good picture of this beast of a ceanothus is tough. This is a South Coast Blue hybrid discovered by Greg Rubin. Itβs billed as a tall narrow species that stays 6 feet wide, but mine hasβ¦ not been that. Mine is much more sprawling and wide.

Ceanothus sanguineus, red-stemmed ceanothus. Many tiny white pentangular flowers arranged in panicles. Ceanothus occurs all up and down the west coast of North America, but you are likely more familiar with the blue-violet species from warmer areas. They have floral/honey frangrances but this one is ... just odd. Not like anything else and you couldn't really call it pleasant. I read that it's hard to propagate, too. All that makes it much less interesting to commerce.
Delphinium nuttallianum, upland larkspur. Against a background of silver and grey-silver-green grasses, a stem of six flowers. Each has five sepals that resemble petals, a gorgeous bright cobalt blue, a long nectar spur sticking out of the back of the flower, and a "bee" in front of the sepals. The bee is made op of the actual petals, two of which are turned upward, white with blue veining, and the others turned down, deeper blue with fuzz on them, curled around to protect the stamens.
Delphinium nuttallianum, upland larkspur. Blurry forest duff in BG. Here you can more clearly see the stamens. The insect mimicry of the "bee" even extends to there being several infertile stamens sticking out the sides of the "bee" resembling legs.
Maianthemum racemosum, false solomon's seal. Closeup on the starry white flowers with spiky stamens tipped with gold pollinia. In the BG leaves and forest duff.
Spring flowers, BC.

A small part of the Californian Lilac in my garden. It's huge (and beautiful) and garden is tiny but scared to prune it too much in case it turns up its toes and dies...

Does anyone else see a 'Ceanothus' in the gardens and think of those beady sweets in 'liquorice allsorts' π #liquoriceallsorts #sweets #ceanothus #gardenplants #plants #gardening #gardens #gardener #allsorts
Ceanothus, or California Lilac, a native plant and nitrogen fixer, in shades or white through dark purple and height from inches to thirty plus feet. Looks delicate in bloom - sheβs not. A tough plant that weathers drought with leathery evergreen leaves.
Another variety of Ceanothus, here with tufts of blooms more like a traditional lilac.

Ceanothus arboreus Trewithen Blue. A medium tree sized Californian Lilac. One of the very few ceanothus that can cope with a fairly hard prune. This morning. Early walk. #ceanothus #trewithenblue

Aerial flowers of a large alum plant (Heuchera Maxima) are visited by a bumblebee with very full pollen sacs
Left to right: Carpenteria california bush, low growing Fragaria vesca and Ceanothus Carmel Creeper, larger Ceanothus Concha blooming purple in the background
This bumblebee was going absolutely ham on my alums. Look at how much pollen she's collected!
On the other side of the walkway, the Bush Anemone that was so grumpy in a pot is loving her new spot by the lilacs and wood strawberries.
