In my garden

If I had to pick one garden shrub I could not do without it would be this one. A ceanothus. This is a relatively new variety called "lemon and lime" - at its best right now and spreading nicely.
Edit - in other news, I finished the virtual NC500 yesterday and when I logged in to the app this morning I got my finisher medal. I think they send me a physical real one… see extra.
