FLOWER POWER

CELEBRATE THE SUMMER.

In San Francisco, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, designer Jarrod Baumann of Zeterre Landscape Architecture rocks and rolls with hardy perennials that will weather periods of rain and drought. Two standouts, also great for cut flowers, include California Leucospermum cordifolium

“California Sunshine” / Pincushion Protea, with long-lasting yellow otherworldly blossoms, which thrives even in foggy coastal locations; and, for textural interest, the spiky deer- and rabbit-resistant Eryngium planum “Blue Glitter” / Sea Holly, with thistle-like blue flowers that have showy seed heads birds and butterflies love. zeterre.com Their surreal aesthetics are complemented by handmade French Astier de Villatte tableware found at San Francisco’s Sue Fisher King store, including the milky white glazed terra-cotta Grand Chalet soup and dinner plates, $60–$140; Petulla tumblers, $105; and Rocaille vase, $290. suefisherking.com

Home is so much more than a house. Its meaning is different for everyone. The concept is an evolving one; often not fully describable or conscious. It encompasses our past, but assuredly, is not final. We consider our greatest value to be the dialogue we establish with Clients, to create living places with meaning and joy; houses to come home to.
