It is like walking up a mountain with ceanothus that gets smaller and shrubbier as you climb...but it is still the same plant. It is just nature's reminder for us to drink lots of water, get out in the sun, don't stay in the wind too long, or get too cold, and eat your mineral rich veggies, or your bloom might not be as bountiful as it might be.<br /><br />Isn't taking pictures a lovely way to get out and about.Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115410908800997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-56701681722447725512011-02-05T22:31:20.769-08:002011-02-05T22:31:20.769-08:00I planted the purple ones as part of our xeric per...I planted the purple ones as part of our xeric perennial garden and they come back reliably every summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-86404885195945963902011-02-05T16:29:26.041-08:002011-02-05T16:29:26.041-08:00Love the flowers.
