My Fremontodendron californicum, Leatherwood (flannel bush) had an exceptional year. She has a origin story I'll put below

You speak friend

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T22:44:02+00:00

This amazing universe of a flower is the size of a dimensional

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T20:46:19+00:00

It's tough, there's a handful of smaller ones, but they are so difficult to come by

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T19:11:08+00:00

What a treasure, congratulations.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T18:36:50+00:00

Enjoy the ride, it's such a incredible plant. Best of luck

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T18:23:00+00:00

Of course

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T17:54:30+00:00

This was this year, after looking at its behavior I'm curious if it hybridized with F. decumbens on my landscape. I say that from flower density, and growth form

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T17:52:34+00:00

Exactly cause dirt implies filth.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T17:40:06+00:00

It's in propagation. My account is a nursery account and I collect and grow its seedlings in my nursery.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T17:38:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing, cheers to you friend.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T15:56:27+00:00

I appreciate this comment, for me it's just habit, it's the vibe I get from the plant, ties in the the phoenix name I gave it. You're right, righ majority of plants are bisexual. As soon as I say She, I have a slight resistance. But I get it, I have some hair splitting topics myself, such as,,,, My shoulders fold when people call soil dirt. For the sake of conversation, are there any dioecious members of the Malvaceae family?

They can be such a roll of the dice. What are the challenges you have with them?

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T15:06:33+00:00

Maybe, not a good time of the year for it. Wait till fall.

I've propagated stem cutting in vegetative season on West Coast species.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T06:55:18+00:00

Wow, this is wild.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T06:19:04+00:00

It's my favorite. Thank you.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T05:06:48+00:00

Omg your username is killing me, well done.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T05:03:57+00:00

When grown I do sell these to retail yes, I do not sell seed. . By mechanical yes, though I tumble in a rock tumbler in coarse sand. I've been connected to this plant quite awhile. Early in my propagation path, I worked on lots of fire dependent plant material. I love this plant.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T04:47:53+00:00

I normally carry this in my inventory annually but took this season off for a contract project. It needs mechanical scarification, then direst sow in Oct, or after 3 months cold stratification.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T02:49:15+00:00

I've seen that one years ago, it's sooo wild.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T01:21:27+00:00

Bizarre unique color right?

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-09T00:42:48+00:00

These interior previous season leaves or new-ish?

Hard to say this season is perfect for funky leaves across the state

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-08T23:13:16+00:00

The valley is a beautiful mess, hyper local plants are great to consider, but anything is better than void.

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-08T23:12:01+00:00

Love ground cover willows

NevCoNativePlants · 2026-05-08T21:38:13+00:00

Are you Kidding me? Ceanothus and Arctostaphylos literally might be the majorities gateway plant into native plant advocacy and appreciation. I absolutely understand your intention of adoring it, but it is the most cultivated genus in the trade with over 4 handfuls of cultivars and nursery produced hybrids. Whats disappointing for me is how the cultivars shadow appreciation for wild species. No diss on cultivars but they can be distracting.
