Managed to get one new tie on this morning before work. I'll look at trying to get another round the concrete post over the weekend when I can work in daylight at it.
“If you are wanting to add all-year round interest and colour to your garden, the Ceanothus 'Trewithen Blue' or ‘California lilac’ makes a fabulous choice 💜 #ceanothus #californialilac #gardeninspiration #purpleaesthetic #purpleflowers #lilacaesthetic #colormyworldbeautiful (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFZaBuPa2519XUZ6UpaNUzaRlirqt0g2sf5wI0/?utm_medium=tumblr
#CeanothusCyaneus AKA #LakesideCeanothus. Finally, a #ceanothus that almost comes out right in photos! But that’s probably because the color is an unreal shade of indigo. This species is endemic to certain parts of San Diego county and apparently a couple of parts of northern Baja California as well. It’s rare and unique to just this tiny little part of the world. It’s the only ceanothus in the county still blooming right now as all the rest have gone to fruit, but even if it bloomed at the same time as the others you would immediately notice that it’s much darker, bluer and more purple than any of the rest. The inflorescences are noticeably pointier and longer and the bark is sort of a lightish green too so it’s kind of easy to notice even without the flowers. I have no idea why this species has such a limited range or how it evolved to be so different from the rest of the genus but I’m glad that it exists and grateful that I got to see it. #SanDiegoCeanothus #SanDiegoBuckbrush #californialilac #californianativeplants #endemicspecies #californiafloristicprovince #sandiegonativeplants #LakesideCA #californialilac #californiamountainlilac #wildmountainlilac #rareplants #endangeredplants #SanDiegoCounty (at Lakeside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO4Lk30Dz37/?igshid=1loaa6b2rz0fn
So I have an epic application now that helps me identify plants and I discovered that this one is called #Californialilac 💜 So gorgeous and also smells nice 🐝. Goodbye frustration of being unable to name any plant around me 😹. _ #flowers #purpleflowers #lilacs #forburygardens #berkshire #flowerpower #femalefronted #metalband #femalemetalsinger #electrorock #heavyrock #electrometal #electronicmetal #trancemetal #alternativemetal #女性ボーカル #ガールズバンド #メタル #ゴシック #SeasonOfGhosts #SophiaAslanides (at Forbury Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJxGWEJbFo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ceanothus, or #CaliforniaLilac, is a vibrant, attractive flowering shrub native to North America and found across the west growing wild. It does produce amazingly fragrant blooms from late spring into early summer. There are just so many varities of them, evergreen or deciduous and can be growth against wall or as free-standing shurbs. They are so easy to care for as well. Who doesn't like the #flower!. It attracts birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, bees and other beneficial insects. . #gardenlover #flowersofinstagram #gardenphotography #gardeninglife #spring #naturelovers #savethebees #beautiful #instablooms #花 #blossom #bloom #gardening #flowers #garden #flower #bees #gardenlife #bee #gardens #nature #gardener #beekeeping #gardenlove #bees #honeybee #beekeeper #pollinatorgarden (at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-UogOh7rE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ris5440q2aqk
It is a crazy 85 degrees here today the second week of February!!! What is going on ?? My garden of California nativeplants is so confused and everyone is bursting into bloom . The insects are coming for the nectar and the orange crowned warbler is singing his spring breeding song continuously. It feels so strange and out of sync. #scarletmonkeyflower #californialilac #bladderpod #fairyduster #manzanita #californianativeplants #nativeplants #gardenhabitat #killyourlawn #lifeinyourgarden @josephbrooksjewelry (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxZaeqPjQD/?utm_medium=tumblr
Good morning 🌅 Welcome to another week, hope it is the start of a good one for you. We are getting closer and closer to #Christmas now, so don't forget to keep ahead with your Christmas shopping. I'd love it if you could consider a purchase from my #art shop this year... https://etsy.me/3bSgIN3 #painting #artworksforsale #artshop #oilpastel #californialilac #flowerpainting #floweroilpastel #artforsale #homedecor #giftideas #christmasgifts https://www.instagram.com/p/CWAWFnUI8H1/?utm_medium=tumblr
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a #Ceanothus as “tree”-like as this one in Occidental, CA. 💙. #californialilac #bonsaiinspiration #bonsaimaterial #bonsai https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zN98kJ2FJ/?igshid=1k60ldrvm48tl
Some of the hillsides in Ramona & Poway last week were covered in blue #ceanothus blooms. Try as I might, none of the photos I took could capture it properly! Oh well. Here are my best attempts. Tweaked the lighting on a couple of them slightly but not this first one. It’s still not quite the same as it looked in real life but it’s close! Anyway, I’ve also included a really clear difference between the regular hills around here covered in large granitic boulders and the much less rocky #gabbrosoil that we have on a few of our hills & mountains (such as this hill by Iron Mountain. The soil is rich in iron & magnesium, which most plants struggle to grow in except for a few endemic species. I didn’t really see any on this trip because the sun was starting to set & I didn’t get very far up that hill. Maybe next time! #CaliforniaMountainLilac #CaliforniaLilac #MountainLilac #CaliforniaNativePlants #chaparral (at Ellie Lane Trail, Iron Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTkqeJjt4h/?igshid=10dvc5k97ry99
