Is that "Giant Fennel"?
Well you are easy on the eyes. I hope you don’t mind me saying so.I just shared a link to a Flickr tribute album for Corwin on your-very-favorite-photos from out in nature or a garden thread but maybe I’ll share it here too. These two friends have both passed, Bill on the right several years ago and Corwin in red on the left. Bill was a Jungian analyst and one of my favorites to talk to when my wife’s group of women artists and their mates got together.

Corwin was a patent lawyer and a really nice guy. He just passed in the last couple weeks having been on hospice care at home for some months. In this photo we are at Corwin and Marjory’s house for the Christmas party several years ago. That’s one of Marjory’s paintings on the wall.
Saturday we’re going to visit Marjory for the first time since he passed when the women artists group meets next Saturday. We’re hosting the group again next month for tea in our garden. Here are photos from past teas in our garden. In the first one Marjory is in turquoise across the table with Corwin beside her. Bill’s widow is wearing the red hat and I’m probably shooting over Bill’s head.
Me talking with my hands again.
Well you are easy on the eyes. I hope you don’t mind me saying so.
Nice photo.
Thank you. I don’t want to be too cheeky.Don’t worry I don’t mistake kindness for flirtation.
Thank you. I don’t want to be too cheeky.
@MarkD I'm just catching up. Between the plants and photography, Works of Art!
Thank you for posting them. Now I must go work in my garden.
Lovely photos! I feel like I just stepped into their world and went for a walk. Thank you!Yesterday we. took our walk at the Regional Parks Botanical Garden in Tilden Regional Park. This park is much beloved in my area for its sheer beauty which it achieves using nothing but native California plants, and a thorough wide ranging collection of them at that. The essence of their mission is captured by this statement: The garden’s primary role is to create beautiful landscapes displaying California’s diverse plant life. Its mission embraces not only aesthetics, but also native plant conservation, public education, and horticultural experimentation designed to bring new native plants into the nursery trade.
Inspired by Hollydolly's Spring Photos thread. Having already posted photos from my garden I figured I'd put these here.
In the San Francisco Bay Area trilliums, Pacific Coast Iris and Ribes sanguineum say spring has arrived. These will be seen in many gardens as well as on walks in nature.
Most trilliums are smaller than the one in the first photo and in this one with my hand for scale, the more colorful Wake Robin variety are both examples of Trillium choropetalum variety Giganteum, something I've never seen on a walk anywhere else.
The first of the last photos also shows up in my garden but here is growing on a stone wall. Some other plants that drew my camera yesterday:
The sequoias and coastal redwoods are always nice to see again too.
Lovely photos! I feel like I just stepped into their world and went for a walk. Thank you!
