\"Prosthechea<\/a>\"Coelogyne<\/a>\"Masdevallia<\/a><\/p>\n

After a sunny spring, the summer fog has arrived, and it’s keeping our plants happy. Start the garden tour with the orchids in the first row of photos: a brilliant yellow and orange Prosthechea<\/a>, a white and orange Coelogyne<\/a>, and a hot pink Masdevallia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Sarcochilus<\/a>\"Aristea<\/a>\"Lupinus<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s one more orchid, the white blooms in the first photo in the second row. They’re from my very reliable Sarcochilus<\/a>. It didn’t have many flower spikes this year, probably because I neglected to repot<\/a> it last year. It’s definitely next on my repotting list. In the next picture, our Aristea<\/a> isn’t an orchid, but its tall spikes carry dazzling blue blossoms.. One of our new native plants, a Coastal Bush Lupine<\/a>, is already attracting bumblebees to its yellow flowers.<\/p>\n

\"Epiphyllum<\/a>\"Holiday<\/a>\"Purple<\/a><\/p>\n

The final row of photos includes spectacular cactus flowers<\/a>, and a happy fuchsia<\/a>. They’re all giving our garden a colorful start to summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
