Whats blooming?

A bit past their prime, and just a quick drive by, but sunflowers...



They sell access to the field so people can take pics or whatever. I've never paid of course, but it's cool seeing a field full of sunflower.

Winter in the desert is funny. Trees have new green leaves on them while there are still yellow fall leaves hanging on.

I think the white ones are forget me nots. My grandmother grew them…along with violets, onions, cilantro, parsley…that I can remember.

Forget me nots are blue.
At least around here, they are.

I think you’re right. I must have forgot them 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

She did grow those white ones, whatever they are…interesting smell.

Nice, Patrick. I've heard of those but never seen one.

Siberian squill and daffodils I planted at the office...



Some of the squill I planted at home seems to have gone AWOL. I think I'm missing some other flowers also. I scatter them in the yard, so it could just be faulty memory.

One of my favorite visual memories is coming down that steep grade on interstate 8 from the San Diego side heading East toward Ocotillo. Right after a spring rain. The desert floor from that elevation was a carpet of color of blooms on the cacti. Vivid and amazing.

Ocotillo…pain stick plant. Pretty dense there. Sometimes the leaves turn fall colors too.

A blast from the past thread about a trip M and I took down that way, @davidwyby. We enjoyed it quite a lot.

There are pics .
