Strolling the Boulevard...

Here we are, back on the streets in the Bay Area...

There were many amazing plants competing for the title of the "it" plant of this vacation, but I think the winner was the loquat, Eriobotrya japonica. While I saw a few Eriobotrya deflexa, the bronze loquat, most were the plain old, plain old, which to me is neither plain or old. Of course when they're growing behind a gorgeous agave it helps.

You should know by now I love a good poodle/cake/cloud prune. Of course the odd conical shape in the sidewalk (emerging from a red brick scalloped edged circle, no less) throws me a bit.

Still those are sweet.

I wanted to follow that pathway around back to see what there was to see...

I want to live in this neighborhood, love the houses.

Oh yes I do...and the gardens too...

*sigh*...

One of just a few Agave bovicornuta I've planted seen in the ground. It's a beauty.

Palms, yucca, grevillea, leucadendron...(oh my!)

What's not to love?

This photo almost became a post all on it's own. How amazing is this combination? So perfect.

Clearly they're happy together.

That's a lot of pups!

When I snapped this photo of the Grevillea 'Moonlight' (?) I didn't even see the hummingbird.

An unintentional capture that turned out pretty terrific!

I really am a Californian gardener at heart. I mean just look at those phormium!

And that. All that...
