Glad to see the Garden Thread - even on a Monday morning.

We've had heavy rain here for the past few days, which is great - because our dry season will kick in soon and we won't have rain again until probably November.

I have my own super bloom of California poppies in my backyard now:

And, I wanted to cut back this out-of-control geranium - but it is covered in bees and I don't want to disturb them:

I also have seven stalks of orchids blooming - for the first time in a decade (since I learned how to take care of them properly).

My helpers are glad Spring has arrived:

Always love your photos.

We were in the Bay Area a week ago, and I just love to see the different vegetation than what we have here in central Indiana. The succulents grow so large there!

The tulips I planted last fall are beginning to open, which is wonderful. That is, the ones that the bunnies didn’t destroy.

I’m battling a head cold from being around toddlers, so taking it easy for a few days.

I love seeing your photos. Thanks for posting them!

Beautiful flowers. And that’s a gorgeous Tortie
