Hi all, just letting you know nothing's happened to me and I will be back uploading and checking out your photos soon. I've had the combination of a migraine and cold since I went to bed on Sunday, which has meant half the week in bed trying to sleep it off. Tim joined me in sickness yesterday with cold symptoms and a nasty cough, so we sat in the sunshine in the garden for a bit yesterday.
Catch up soon, my friends!
Still trying to identify this shrub, but it has these red flowers that are just starting to open. (June)
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as "hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow.
The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek name ἰβίσκος (hibiskos) which Pedanius Dioscorides gave to Althaea officinalis (c. 40–90 AD).
Several species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, notably Hibiscus syriacus and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
A tea made from hibiscus flowers is known by many names around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is known for its red colour, tart flavour, and vitamin C content.
Magnolia × soulangeana

ENGLISH
Magnolia × soulangeana (Magnolia denudata × Magnolia liliiflora), the saucer magnolia, is a hybrid flowering plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae. It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts.
Growing as a multistemmed large shrub or small tree, Magnolia × soulangeana has alternate, simple, shiny, dark green oval-shaped leaves on stout stems. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn.
Magnolia × soulangeana flowers are large, commonly 10–20 cm (4–8 in) across, and colored various shades of white, pink, and maroon. An American variety. The exact timing and length of flowering varies between named varieties, as does the shape of the flower. Some are globular, others a cup-and-saucer shape.
Hybrid origin
Magnolia × soulangeana was initially bred by French plantsman Étienne Soulange-Bodin (1774–1846), a retired cavalry officer in Napoleon's army, at his château de Fromont near Paris. He crossed Magnolia denudata with M. liliiflora in 1820, and was impressed with the resulting progeny's first precocious flowering in 1826.
Many times, Soulange-Bodin is cited as the author of this hybrid name, rarely with a reference to a publication however. If a source is given, it is often an English translation of a French title (see for example Callaway, D.J. (1994), World of Magnolias: 204). Soulange-Bodin certainly did not name the hybrid after himself. The name was proposed by members of the Société Linnéenne de Paris and published by Arsène.

This is a close-up photo of sunlight and shadow on the gorgeous structure of honeysuckle shrub flowers.
NorCal, Dec 2018. I was so happy to see this black-crowned night heron roost. It was an unexpected treat at the end of the auto loop. They looked like tree ornaments.

I happened to look at a dead shrub and realized that there were at least 7 male Blue Dashers perched on the tips of the twigs. Managed to get four in the shot - reminded me of what Newark Airport looks like some days. Wallkill River NWR, New Jersey.
Pretty Ixora sunset is a compact, tropical evergreen shrub. The brightly colored flowers are sunny golden to orange-yellow and are attractive to butterflies. It is a delight to see in any garden. In Florida the flowers stay in bloom all year long.

Autumn Shrubs blurb: These autumn gardens, russet, gray and brown,
The sward with shriveled foliage strown,
The shrubs and trees
By weary wings of sunshine overflown
And timid silences, -

No trip to Death Valley is complete without a walk through the Mesquite Flat dunefield. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and the images are somewhat flat as a consequence, but I do like this image.

A three week old wedge-tailed shearwater (Ardenna pacifica) nestling peeks out the entrance of its sandy burrow. Adult shearwaters excavated the burrow nest in a sand dune, tunneling under the roots of a naio shrub.
