Yes, Cal Poppy is so sweet, I love the pinkish ones too. Good for you with the Asclepias - do yo see any butterflies? Thanks for your comments!

I only bought one but if he's selling them again this spring I'm getting a few more. They're so sweet. Ebay is selling a couple different types of Indian Paintbrush. I prefer the pink flowering varieties. I don't know how how easily they'll germinate but the seed is cheap. I grow the pink flowering Cal Poppy. It's such a delightful plant. Mimulus lewisii is on my wish list--again pink flowers. My soil is too dry for Salal but I love it. I have Asclepias speciosa and A. incarnata. Love them both. Bear Grass is also on my wish list.
