I love these kind of topics. It’s so inspirational looking at all the beauty growing. Here in SoCal Growzone 10b we are in full spring, getting ready for summer. In my forest garden, I have so many flowers. Daikon radish flowers, plums, peaches, citrus, borage, apple blossoms, lavender, rue, so many sunflowers and lots of wildflowers I can’t identify.
Even my roses are flowering now. Both my rock roses, climbing and Rosa Ragusa. We grow the last too, in order to get rose hips. Rose hip jam is a favorite of mine. My rock roses are different. The flowers only last one day, but it’s okay, since there are thousands of rosebuds on it, and the ground is littered with flower petals.
