I saw a lot of this yellow plant by the roadside when I lived in Northern California. I know it sometimes goes where it is not wanted, but I am so happy to see its cheerful yellow in the springtime.

Browsing through my archives, I found this image of how the horse pasture next to our backyard used to be a few years ago. I miss Tawny. Now a big house is being built there.

Some people say cle-MA-tis, and some people say CLEM-uh-tis. They are all beautiful. My gardener friend Sherry (see hostas below) has a simple pink clematis draping over her fence that is pretty darn wonderful.
