Plant Families: Bignoniaceae and Boraginaceae
Bright colors, aggressive vines and five o’clock shadows hold sway this week. Reds, oranges, yellows, blues and purples all blossom and bloom, decorating the landscape with festive abandon. Coiled tendrils unwind, grasping onto absolutely everything they fall across. Plants, hairier than my Uncle Paul, wear their flowers like gaudy costume jewelry.
