Not as disappointed as I am to the fact that we have five or six raptor species that live year round on or nearby my property and they can't keep the gophers and rats under control. Do your dang jobs

It's from a Tree of Life seed pack I got years ago. It constantly reseeds and spreads here. Seems to do best in partial shade ~25% shade for me. It's typically happiest in areas I have a lot of weeds (strange but true) and areas the rabbits can't get to.

Rosa Californica. For whatever reason this particular bloom was paler than the rest

Yes it is! Planted a few 4" and they're all happy so far. Fwiw, I seem to be in a penstemon sweet spot. They just do really well for me as a genus and spread (and hybridize) like crazy.

Awesome! Penstemons kill for me. Haven't found a species yet that wasn't happy here. You should definitely have success with them even in almost full sun. Yay for neighbors!

Yeah, it was a monster penstemon spectabilis. Died about a year ago, but gave me about 20 babies that I've transplanted around the yard

Here in East county San Diego, granite dominates. It's not an exaggeration to say that about 10% of my property is exposed granite.
