Oh, happy day! A smiling Bush Sunflower (Encelia californica) brightens the California Native Plant Walk at Arlington Garden on #flowerfriday.

Footpath through the California Native Plant Walk at Arlington Garden on #footpathfriday . . . All the plants here are plants that have historically grown in California, without human introduction, including many that provide food and shelter for pollinators. So, it's a delightful place for birds, bees and butterflies!

A universal plea for all humanity . . . a wish we all share. It was tied with a little string to a Wishing Tree at Arlington Garden. I noticed it was dated today 6.25.26, so it seemed important to share this wish beyond the garden and out into to the world today.
