My projects...before and after

Our volunteer carpet of Mexican primrose

We'd like to thank our volunteers, Mexican primrose. Every spring we are treated to a fine display of pink flowering Oenothera speciosa. They come up by themselves by mid spring and for a few weeks this is our bouquet at our home in San Diego's North Park neighborhood. By early summer the plants dry up and almost disappear by themselves. Some minimal cleanup in the winter removes the dried growth in a few minutes and makes the beds ready for the following spring.
