Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

I don’t think I’ve seen this kind before. Are those the leaves? They look kinda like hibiscus leaves.

@laneygarden The leaves in the background belong to the ever-encroaching #passionfruit.

If it were possible to zoom in on photos on #GardenTags (CUE LOUD "AHEM!"), you'd get a better look at one of the little orange #aphids that love #milkweed plants. #AphisNerii is commonly known as #OleanderAphid, which I find amusing because I happen to have a perfectly fine #Oleander and they've been ignoring it. 5Aug2020 #milkweedaphid #AsclepiasFascicularis #narrowleafmilkweed #wildlifewednesday
