view yellow japanese maple leaves with red stems - _MG_5355 on a black background.
The long hot and dry summer has put the trees through a stress test this year. But, the old silver maple in the front yard has weathered the season with little distress. Here's a few leaves with their bright red late summer stems and a few drops from a passing rain storm.
Well, back again around the old stamping ground. The lack of rain continues to pronounce itself in the lack of vegetation and flowers and the lack of insect life (by comparison with this time last year....). Not many birds about either (no western meadowlarks this year, for example). Skunk Creek area, Peoria Arizona.

Not offered in recent nursery catalogs. Bred by A.L. Murawska (1893-1968) River Grove, Illinois who has 42 peonies listed with APS. His focus was on lactiflora cultivars that not only did well at shows, but performed well in the garden: 'Moonstone' and 'Princess Margaret' are highly rated.

In Kalamunda National Park, near Perth in Western Australia, I saw several examples of this beautiful little plant, with deep red stems and tufts of cylindrical leaves. There is a flower stalk emerging from the plant in the upper left, which might be part of the same plant, or a completely different plant.
I now know that the flowering stalk belongs to a plant called Butterfly Flower (Philydrella sp., probably Philydrella pygmaea). But I still don't know if the red-stalked foliage is part of the same plant, or something completely different.
In nearby Bangowla Regional Park, I saw lots of these same Butterfly Flowers in bloom, again in association with the foliage shown here. However, those photos leave unresolved whether this is a single plant, or two unrelated species that happen to grow together in the same habitat (moist clay-pan). And because I live on the other side of the world, I can't easily go back to check!
Bee on Purple Floss Flowers (Ageratum houstonianum). How cool are these fuzzy purple flowers and I love the position of the bee with it's wings up. This photo was awarded Photo of the Day on Capture My Vermont, for March 12, 2016.

I found this Common Buttonbush growing on a local beach. This distant relative of coffee (family Rubiaceae) grows in wetland areas. Ducks and other waterfowl eat the seeds.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Shooting Star (Dodecatheon) is one of the first wildflowers to appear in the spring. Photographed in the Edgewood Nature Preserve near Redwood City, California.
Scat with lots of blue juniper berries in it. Red spots are leaves of *Erodium cicutarium, REDSTEM FILAREE. Some outer leaves have turned red, perhaps as a response to cold weather. North Wilderness Trail, Pinnacles National Park
Individual locules recoil along a section of the style and are dispersed as such with the coiled style likely acting as an automatic-caching or burial device.
Grapevine beetle on grapevine leaves. The grapevine beetle, Pelidnota punctata, also known as the spotted June beetle or the spotted pelidnota, is a species of beetle, a member of the subfamily Rutelinae of the Scarab beetle family. Grapevine beetles are common in the north and central United States and Eastern Canada, but do relatively little damage to their host plants. The beetles fly at a fast speed, usually in a curving flight. You can get an idea how big this beetle is by comparing the size to the japanese beetle just above it behind the tendril.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Shooting Star (Dodecatheon) is one of the first wildflowers to appear in the spring. Photographed in the Edgewood Nature Preserve near Redwood City, California.
It is still early spring and a common plant in our yard this year is
redstem filaree. It's other names are Stork's Bill, Heron Bill and
it's latin name is Erodium cicutarium. Even though the entire plant is
edible all that I've read about it being used for is abortion. Wendy
is seen here ripping it up so that we can turn it into compost.

Rocks generally lead a boring existence. Well, except maybe during earthquakes. So, rocks look forward each year to the poppy invasion. Poppies know how to party!
