Lotus pinnatus





Lotus pinnatus - meadow bird's-foot trefoil 
A member of the Fabaceae family
Red listed in B.C - meaning threatened, endangered or extinct
Pictures taken just south of Nanaimo at Harewood Plains

Living in Victoria now - working as a gardener at UVIC
Thinking too much about plants

On my porch:
- 12 containers of kale
- 3 containers of broccoli
- 4 tomato plants
- planter of sweet peas
- container of basil
- 2 hostas
- 3 columbines

And inside:
- 21 jade plant cuttings, among other things

And that's all - quite a lag between the last post.

Listening to the Deep Roots Pete Seeger tribute show. The world may seem to be in a very fragile state, but how lovely is it that there are individuals and activists raising their voices against the injustices surrounding us. Rest in peace Pete Seeger.
