Beads of Palm
20 years in Oakland and I just now discovered the palm garden. It's way in back, hidden behind the bonsai.
No idea what this is but the strands hanging down were at least 5' long.

The greenhouse at Lake Merritt is filled with all kinds of divinely scented rhododendrons in full bloom. Go now.

Bonsai Garden, also in bloom, photo by Chad
Sometimes I am just not tall enough to accomplish what I want no matter how far up I get on my tippytoes, which is the only time Chad gets to touch my camera.

Leptospermum!
aka Australian tea tree, which I thought was the one that you get the oil from, but apparently there eleventeen different kinds of wholly unrelated tea trees that do all sorts of things. This particular kind is used to make tea. I recently bought a small version because it is my favorite shrubbery. I've read that they're good for bonsai and am mulling that over.
