Ceanothus. California Lilac.
Flowers give green. Leaves, a tan orange. Root a red brown.
Daughter Jenny, who presents a disclaimer right off, for a lot, has searched. I said i need one. at least. She has searched. Today she brings this one. When she brought it to the check out place of this local nursery, the woman said.. "oh dear". and "oh my". She didn't know what to say...it was somewhat scragly, but Jenny said she WANTED it, her mother. The woman said then ok, maybe $5 Jenny said...anything. doesn't matter, anything...it's seemingly the ONLY native lilac in Butte County.
