St Pat's Day, California style

Quick, it's St. Patrick's Day!  We need greenery!  How about a nice little corsage to wear throughout the day to prevent would-be pinchers?  One leaf of Eriogonum grande rubescens, one baby Malocothamnus leaf and a couple blades of Muhlenbergia rigens.  Add a ribbon, a pin and a small puncture wound from adhering it and you've got yourself instant California-Irish style.

As for plant of the week, how could I choose anything other than Redwood Sorrel or Oxalis oregana.  However, I have no experience growing this cutie- Redwood forest-like conditions?  Feel free to add your planting tips in the comments below. 

I'd love to do a proper corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight, but I'll probably just have a beer and make Irish Soda Bread to celebrate my 1/8th Scotch-Irish DNA.  Does that make me 1/16th Irish? 

Whatever your background, I wish you all a happy St. Patrick's Day!
