I always have more ideas for blog posts than I have time. And lots and lots of pictures. How does one whittle it all down so that posts go out relatively quickly? I had a few more pictures left over from February, so I thought I would get to them now before March is over. Sort of a hodge podge mish mash of pictures that I liked.
I really liked the needles on this Hood View juniper. It was one of those dreary, rainy days when not much was happening in the garden. Taking a closer look at this juniper made my day.
Nice leaves on my Arum ‘Chameleon’ too. I grew this from seed about 10 years ago. Hasn’t bloomed, which is maybe a good thing as it looks like it might be a form of Arum italicum, the Italian arum. Italian arum has been a little invasive in my garden.
Spotted this orange jelly fungus growing out of our back porch.
I think this is a fishfly, which hatch out of the stream. You know spring is near when these start showing up.
I found one of our native liverworts that grows on our trees during the wet season, possibly tree-ruffle liverwort (Porella navicularis).
I like the leaves of our native Pacific sanicle (Sanicula crassicaulis) when they first come up.
I still haven’t cleaned out last year’s dead tree leaves out of my Pittosporum divaricatum.
Patio bricks with the perfect mortar of moss
That’s it for February photos!
Great photos! Thanks for linking to my profile on Porella navicularis! Always makes me happy when my profiles get utilized!
So glad to hear from you. Love your blog, as I enjoy reading up on all of the animals and plants I find outside. I forgot to add a link to the “Blogs I Follow” section, which I have taken care of right away. Keep up the great work!
Excellent photos of the Juniperus communis ‘Hood View’, and ditto for the sweet green mortar. I do love moss. I’ll admit to also being glad I’m not the only one with a few stray leaves in my Pittosporum divaricatum…
So many things to do this time of year!
