Thank you for telling me. I love to see how these plants can be used in gardens. Thanks for your expertise. This was fun to do. I appreciate your comments! Regards, Philip Hi Steve,

As were they all. But the Evening Primrose has been an absolute 'must plant' perennial in every job I've done. It's too cool to see it sticking out there like a volunteer. Great post, Philip and super revealing to me of what's happening at the Presidio. That is a trip. I agree that the Lupines were a real gorgeous sight. As were they all.

I sincerely appreciate them. I love yellow bush lupine. One is forbidden of course to collect seeds or anything in a national park, but when we were children we would collect the seeds of this plant along the northern Californis coast. It was spectacular in the meadow garden. Deer did not eat it which was a real victory. Also, it needs no water in the summer! I thought that this place was a great way for people to see what native plants could look like in their garden. most of the time when you buy a native plant at the nursery it is small and "scraggly", so this placed showed what they look like when mature. It was a lot of fun, and I am glad you came by! :) Regards, Philip Donna,

I particularly like the yellow bush lupine with GGB and windswept trees photo. You are a great spokesperson for SF. Donna Philip,

You have shown very inspiring combinations. Isn't it just so much fun? ! You certainly show that. The research into the Yelamu tribe was very new and rewarding.Besides their winter home at Crissy field I found that the Yelamu had a summer home right where I live! WOW! There is a new movement here in San Francisco which is about vegetable gardens in schools.Alice Waters, the great chef of Chez Panisse is behind this. Children grow the food for their own lunches. :) Regards, Philip Anna!

Hats off for a job carefully and thoughtfully carried out. I would visit there often if I was so lucky. Your research and preparing of this piece would make the preservationist proud. I could see in your descriptions that you too appreciated every scent and scenery. I can't go to a place like this without it bringing tears to my eyes. I do remember that you so love this kind of thing. I haven't looked at your blog archives---but didn't you talk about this or something like this before? Our town is trying to prepare for the future and not just let urban sprawl become strip malls. They are putting together a masterplan for the whole city so it will forever be a place to live and raise your loved ones with the beauty undisturbed or new places created for people and not just paved parking lots. We so badly need people with vision and not just dollar signs dangling before them. If you build the beauty too---most of the time, the businesses will prosper right along side all the ordinances and limitations. Bravo for a great story. It's so encouraging to read articles like you have written. This is a real victory for the preservation seekers everywhere. Hats off for a job carefully and thoughtfully carried out.
