Dark Star

2/13/25 – Lots of blooms popping in the last week

2/8/25 – Honey Bee working the Dark Star Ceanothus. He’s got a big sack of pollen on his legs as he works the flowers

1/24/25 – Buds turning purple against the dark green leaves

1/24/25 – Honey Bee found some of the first flowers. They go bonkers over this flower, must be really good.

1/11/25 – Flower buds seem to be forming a little earlier this year with the warm weather and lack of rain. Last year I did not see flower buds until late Feb.

12/29/24 – Looking very happy and putting on some decent growth

10/27/24 – Starting to get cooler so I watered it deeply a couple times in the last month

Dark Star 6/15/24. Some yellowing on older leaves, but nothing to be concerned about, the new growth looks lush and green. Only watered 2 or 3 times this year. I saw this same issue with dropping some of the older leaves last year while it was in it’s pot and waiting for cooler weather before planting.
