new things showing up

so i added this salvia splendens not a native so well see how this does. i hear it can fall to slugs. wife loved it so in it goes!!! hummingbirds seem to like it.

just a honey bee. for years and years all i had in this garden were palm trees and cycads. so i never got butterfly's and bees. so just stoked on the nature coming in and saying hi!!

butterfly on my salvia dorrii.

my manzanita wine barrel

so i added my manzanita st helena to the wine barrel along with a couple great other plants. some spread and some just have cool flowers. it took 7.5 cubic feet of dirt to fill this bad boy!

this is a trailing verbena hybrida. great little plant covered in flowers.

this is ameria maritima.

Ptilotus exaltatus. common name for this is JOEY.. i know right?

and last addition to the barrel was this cerastium tomentosum. common name is snow in the summer.
