Anemone
Looks delicate doesn't it? One
of the sites I was looking
at while trying to identify this specific type
of Anemone said that once they are established, they are
difficult to "eradicate." It goes on to tell that the plant
even survives being run over by delivery trucks on the side of the driveway.
I was impressed.

Poppy of the Day
I had a lot of fun with the Poppies this year. I can't remember a time when I saw so many different California Poppies. Perhaps it is a result of the amazing rainy season we had last year. I believe it was the second wettest year on record. Perhaps the beauty here is our reward for the precarious spot we choose to live. Right now we are seeing some nice sunsets as a result of the wild fires. Not a lot of consolation for those that have lost their homes, but the firefighters have done nothing short of a heroic job this year keeping that to a minimum.
