The Scarlet Monkey flower that are in the wine barrels #2 & #3, are blooming today.
I planted this last summer, and it came back strong this year, especially in wine barrel #2 which gets more shade than wine barrel #3. This relative of the sticky monkeyflower has large red blooms (great hummingbird attractor), and fuzzy leaves, and the crickets that have been eating my annuals and fruit totally leave this plant alone.

This is the absolute coolest name for a flower I have ever heard. It sounds like the superhero name for a monkey who dresses up and fights crime at night.
Those are very beautiful!
