090622 - Backyard

Here is a photograph I took yesterday of the backyard. I was standing near the gate looking up the hillside.

You can see the bald spot near the top right, where we pulled out the echium, which had grown much too large, expanding across the trail and making it dangerous to pass by.

In its place, I've planted three canterbury bells, one of which is an unusual perennial and a pale whitish purple. I plan on growing amaranths and asters there, as our summer takes hold.
