This is what Hardenbergia violacea does when it's allowed to be itself. I think it ends up feeling really heavy.

I think that's the church from one of Whoopi Goldberg's Sister Act movies.

I think this is the Lavatera assurgentiflora native to So. California. It's grown a lot in San Francisco.

Some Photinia that I'm always confusing with Viburnum tinus.

Of the common garden bulbs, crocus is everyone's first, but freesia is just as early here. Is it early where you are too?

I understand the white ones are the most fragrant, but these oranges were quite fragrant. (Kind of how a sugar cereal is fragrant.) Freesia also naturalize in California gardens so you don't have to buy new ones every year.

Another fun tour, and it looks like the air smells and feels great...did it? I just love how big everything gets, especially the plants I'm used to seeing potted up indoors.
