First bloom of our backyard California wild roses (Rosa Californica)!
Snakefly hunting insects on a bed of elderberry flowers.
Yarrow is now in bloom and the carpet beetles are gorging themselves on pollen.
Got to pay attention to notice avocado flowers. Our “Bacon” Avocado tree is flowering. Our “Mexicola” variety is not— too bad because they’re type A and B so would have pollinated each other.
First elderberry flowers in the backyard.
What do you need this morning? Bee butt on Gilia flowers and Baby Blue Eyes.
It’s high time we start taking photos behind the flowers. Apricot flower.

Cherry tree in full bloom.

Our front yarden sage plants (first two photos) and all the Ceanothus are now flowering.
Our apricot had its first bloom today. A few weeks ahead last year. This tree has rarely yielded fruit. 🤞🌳
