I took this photograph today from the top of the terraces looking down at the gardens to the right of the staircase.
You can see past all four terraces to the row of cala lilies edging the dirt pathway alongside the terraces.
Today, it was sixty-five degrees and stunning. The anemones and crocuses were in full bloom, while the ranunculus continue to charge up out of the ground. I cannot wait for them to bloom, too.
The cacti and succulents have definitely perked up now that the sun is drying out the gardens.
Next to the the hot tub is the white Pacific Giant delphinium I've staked several times to support its flower stalk almost three feet in length. I hope it blooms before the next rainstorm, since flower stalks this long typically collapse under the weight of wet blooms.
I planted poppy and larkspur seeds in the gardens today. The relative barrenness of these winter gardens won't last.
