Fremontodendron californicum. Any more? ;-)

Again, thank you so much, I have a couple of others, but no photos at the moment I will take some tomorrow :)
I came across this site yesterday and stayed up way too late, admiring everyones gardens and reading blogs. Off to explore the site some more.
Thanks again

It happens to us all! Burnt dinners, cross OH, you name it. It's addictive! Welcome to the site, and have fun. :-))

Thanks for the welcome, this seems like a friendly, welcoming site, I look forward to being a part of it.

:-))

... and a big welcome from me too. Anything you wanna know - ask. (Not that I can help much, I'm an amateur but there's some real experts on here - I've learned so much)

Thank you Sheilar, I feel at home already. I am very much an amateur. This site is amazing for inspiration. I can see I will be spending a lot of time here :)

There are some fantastic members gardens on here. Just remember your garden is YOURS. You grow in it what YOU want, not what other people think you should. You'll find some members have likes and dislikes for various plants, but it's up to you what you grow.

Good advice there, Sheilar - always best to ask for information if you need it, but ultimately, its the asker's choice.

Welcome 22 (why 22?) Becareful of this plant, its a real irritant so wear gloves when you tend it.

Hi Cammomile,
I found to my cost that it can make you feel very itchy, gardening gloves have now been purchased and will be worn.
22Dreams is a Paul Weller album, I had to think of a login name quickly and was listening to the album at the time.

Thank you all for your replies.
