Been seeing other Hypericum species in the hills; thought to throw in this ubiquitous landscaping favorite. Don't know what it's potential to be invasive; but we are certainly giving it every chance in using it to cover dry slopes everywhere.

It seems to me that so few of these flower; the buds either withering or perhaps eaten off...
if true, it's a wonder how this plant is so abundant.

Spider with large pedipalps--probably a male?

Thought it might be a grass spider, but it seems to be lacking vertical stripes on its body.
