Title: What's bloomin' in Northern California
Post by: bberry on July 31, 2007, 11:28:42 PM
Thought i would share some pics i took this afternoon. The Queen Ann's Lace and the thistles are pretty much the only abundant blooms around here right now but the bee's seem happy.

There has been so little rain this year. The thistles are going crazy now as i mentioned (have some great pics i wanted to share of the thistle heads covered with bees, oh well) and the dandelions are just now starting to peter out. The croplands all over the county are going bonkers now especially the squash fields so there are blooms out there to be had.

Email one of the moderators and they will post the pics. You are still a new member.
