We drive by this mansion once a week on our way to Piedmont High for our evening Deutschstunde. We've gawked at the massive home (and the gorgeous redwoods in the front yard) but it was those dreamy...
We stopped by Stanford Mall this weekend for a quick shopping trip and were stopped in our tracks by the gorgeous planters. Giant roses, huge amounts of yellow ranunculus, and more flowers than we ca...
We spotted this lovely planter whilst stopping for a quick cup of coffee. We like the oversize container, the simple one-color arrangement and LOVE the amazing fiery hue of those flowers...not a bad ...
Wow...we're a bit floored by this beauty of a plant. More photos and jaw-dropping below the jump......
A friend invited us over for an official "thank-god it's springtime and the weather rocks" lunch date (before the predicted rain rolls in) and we couldn't resist snapping a few pictures in her incre...
Some of our favorite flower boxes are the flowers-when-you-least-expect-them kind. ...
We love succulents, so a whole front yard of them practically makes us swoon. This house in Oakland has some of the most beautiful we've seen, with seemingly every color of the rainbow showing up in t...
We often forget to appreciate the obvious things in life. Sometimes you have to walk by something time and time again before it slaps you in the face and shouts, "Hey you...fool! I'm here! Yoohoo!" ...
At long last the sun has decided to make an appearance. We basked in the tiniest bit of warmth and very quickly developed a bad case of spring fever. It's been awhile, but we have two flower box awa...
Fresh start.Brimming with cheerful flowerbeds, thriving greenery, and whimsically-painted flowerpots, this house caught our eye early yesterday morning as we were walking from Lower Haight to Alamo S...
These giant hydrangeas would be blue ribbon winners if they were entered in the San Francisco County Fair. If there was one. Thankfully there are AT:SF Flower Box Awards, and these blooms are our la...
In this case it's less about the flower pots full of red, pink and yellow geraniums (which are indeed pretty but not extraordinarily so), but about the way they pop against the yellow and gold color s...
We love the practice of lining your front steps with flowering potted plants. In this case, the cumulative effect of small and colorful blooms, each in their own pot, is almost like a wild alpine me...
We haven't bestowed a flower box award in a while. It's not that we don't notice flower boxes, it's that SF has too many good ones. It's hard to decide what makes one worthy of an appearance on AT. ...
Passing this flower box the other day reminded us of turning a bend on a long hike through the woods and discovering a meadow of wildflowers. The city version of that. We love the combination of te...
We stopped the car the other day when we noticed this amazing display tumbling from a planter in front of a house on Arguello. When you live on a busy motor vehicle thoroughfare like Arguello, it ...
