Inspiration

A reminder that inspiration for planted landscapes often comes from wild nature itself.  This is probably Lupinus albifrons and was photographed at Eagle Rock near Warner Springs.  Post provided by LJ.

Senna didymobotyra, or popcorn Cassia is a fun addition to any garden because the crushed flowers and buds have a strong scent of buttered popcorn.  It is a robust plant that enjoys sun and heat. Note the large bumble bee closing in for a pollen snack. It is also a favorite of caterpillars of the large yellow sulphur butterflies so watch for eaten leaves in late summer. B. Bennett garden
