Summer's blooms fade as the Fall color sets in: Our Climbing California Grapevine promises to set the Buckeye ablaze in red. 

The new labyrinth has grown in with three easy to walk on plantings. 

 

Plant Happenings: An aristolochea blooms in the upper garden, passiflora membranacea climbs back over our

mid-garden east-west walkway, hot chartreuse hops vines are climbing some cool toned conifers and senecio 'con permiso';

apples are (finally!) hanging plentifully on the full sun tree, the Musella Banana continues its rare and bee friendly other worldly bloom.
