Trichostema lanatumwoolly bluecurls. A beautiful shrub for the garden. Roots must be kept dry. Replant frequently from cuttings (seeds are difficult) as the shrub is short-lived. One garden book suggests planting with matilja poppies and bush poppies for a stunning display. The spikes will enliven any vase of cut flowers. Or. you could leave it in the ground, few flowers look better in the cross-lighting of morning or evening sun. A David Douglas collection. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.

Mimulus cardinaliscardinal monkey flower. The late Bert Wilson of Las Pilitas Nursery said this was the garden plant for "people that kill everything else." The cardinal color attracts hummingbirds who find they must push deeply into the throat for nectar thus brushing their heads against the pollen, which they carry on to the next monkey flower.
