I went out front this afternoon to see how the Island Buckwheat was liking the rain (very much, it seemed) and discovered a few new pink #flower heads forming.

Gazania aka treasure #flower, a long-blooming, #drought-tolerant #plant from South Africa. I slipped some seeds in my pocket while taking a walk one day, then lost them for many months after setting them aside for safekeeping. I finally planted them out this season to fill a few holes in the front and back yards. Iāve given them neglect, theyāve given me #flowers and more flowers.

A lone curly dock #plant near the San Francisco Bay shore. Aka yellow dock and Rumex crispus, probably ssp. littoreus. Some say "invasive," I say "enjoys travel." An edible, medicinal perennial.
