Purple and orange brighten fall By SHARON KESSEY Across our small front yard from our front door is a showy display of fall bloomers that attract bees and hummingbirds and always make me smile. The background green is a mounding primrose jasmine, Jas- minum mesnyi, that's about five feet tall. In front of that is a row of three-foot asters, Aster lateriflorus, a California native that survives well here and provides a fall profu- sion of light purple daisy-like blos- soms with yellow centers. In front of the asters is another native plant, Zauschneria californi- ca (or Epilobium canum canum), commonly called California fuch- sia. The row of two-foot plants is just tall enough to hide the rather scruffy brown leaves on the lower Aster stems. Its blossoms are tubu- lar, about one-and-a-half inches long, and bright orange and serve as a magnet for hummingbirds, who seem to love the orange tubes and are able to reach the nectar at the base of the flowers with their long beaks. It's pleasing arrangement, espe- cially this time of year when the purple aster and rosemary flowers and the orange Zauschneria blooms, amid the various shades of green, provide such a vibrant dis- play. row is another purple flower, a tall rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis.

Meanwhile, the bees frequent the asters, gathering pollen and nectar and helping pollinate the plant. the water droplets causes the aster and Zauschneria flower stems to lean forward, the collection becomes a triple cascade of green jasmine, purple aster, and orange Zauschneria, with a side comple- ment of arching yellow-green lemon grass.
