It's like an Art Nouveau tiara for this cottage - what a great shot. But having lived in the east for so long, when I see red vines, I immediately jump back and shriek "poison ivy! look out!" oh, and I shriek like a girl. imagine that.
Autumn better be here. I got so excited by the drizzle we had here, I planted seeds today. Lots of 'em, including Fagiolo Rampicante Trionfo Violetto. Purple beans. You pay more when the seedpack is in Italian.
Thank you, everyone! It's still raining, and I'm sure the plants love it. I think this is Virginia Creeper, but I could be wrong. I know for sure that it isn't Poison Oak. I think the overcast day brought out the vivid color even more. The house looks like a well maintained Victorian, which is as old as anything gets around here.
Dina - I'm glad you liked it! I always encourage people to contribute to Librivox if they want to try.
AH - The rain is a blessing for California gardeners. Good luck!
