Among my many interests is photography. Nothing trained or anything – just a personal interest, a good eye, and always having a camera on me thanks to these newfangled phones these days. I take many, many pictures and for an outlet to share them I have created some Tumblr pages. They’re all linked over in the right margin, but I’m planning to start a Tumblr Tuesday series where I drag over, specifically, my plant-themed pix from boZannical Tumblr. These are plant pix I take that are not specifically related to a boZannical Gardens full-on posting. Purely some plant porn for the sake of sharing it…

On Belgrave in Cole Valley is this stunning muted color play in a front garden, planted by a friend and former coworker of mine.

The eternal question of whether you can make a topiary or hedge out of California native flannelbush has been answered. Fremontodendron californica. Mixed reviews, but I’m on board despite preferring its natural form. This is in Cole Valley.
