I did the Google thing for Sparaxis, and there were several pictures of the variety we have.<br /><br />CVF- I was *so* hoping it was some sort of rare California native, but alas, it is a South African native. At least it isn't obnoxious and invasive, something I am intensely happy about. <br /><br />Bill- Thanks! Happy spring to you as well!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404312674626308999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954127644266434329.post-47605042483683962462013-03-25T16:54:45.062-07:002013-03-25T16:54:45.062-07:00Could the last flowers be a kind of Sparaxis?

My grandmother used to have the tricolored ones along her walkway, and I just love them. My neighbors have some of the tricolored ones in their lawn and they are blooming wildly now. In the summer they will be invisible.Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954127644266434329.post-1326480269395697612013-03-23T16:41:20.156-07:002013-03-23T16:41:20.156-07:00I agree, I think the Ceanothus is second only to C...I agree, I think the Ceanothus is second only to Coyote Brush for bee activity. Our 'Puget Blue' is just really starting to reach peak bloom, and it's being totally mobbed today.<br /><br />The last flower has me intrigued. I wonder if it's native? It reminds me of a Triteleia bloom, but I can't find one that quite matches. It's pretty though!
