Summer storms, new green






Another major storm last night; this morning, new washed green; trees, marshes, plants, everything. And the honesuckle is flowering, scent heavy in the air. It is a welcome visitor from the wild... I tried and tried to grow some in Sacramento, but the summer was too hot and the soil too heavy.
The giant hosta has giant flowers, though its leaves are looking a little worn. The poppies did not last long, but the seedheads are almost as attractive... and next year there will be more.
