Update about blogCa

View from my tiny balcony, April 11, 2026. The steep slope my apartment building sits on reminds me that this is an ancient river valley, and perhaps where I sit once was the bank of a bigger Swannanoa River than the one of today.

Near Lake Tomahawk

 

Queen Ann's Lace?

Oak Leaf Hydrangias

We knew the day lilies, but what might the pink pom poms be?

Milkweed I think, with lots of bees on it.

    Hello,

    Is it a peony plant, I have seen similar plants and the milkweed here. The butterflies and bees love it. The road side lilies are everywhere. Pretty wildflowers. Take care, have a happy day!

      These plants have been tended at least a little bit.
