Irwin, you took some really nice pictures there man! I'm not sure what some of those are, do you? One almost looks like golden rain, another red bud, but I don't know, could be some type of fruit tree or ornamental.

wow. you are way ahead of us. things are just starting to look like they'll open here and that's a couple of weeks early. this warm weather has helped.
great pics!
Fantastic blooms! Are those all nectar producers? The unusually cold weather here has knocked back the tropical blooms, but lots of pollen is coming in from native trees.

I didn't get all of them some apple tree's are in bloom and manzanita is in bloom now will check on the blackberry. My bee's are packing in pollen like crazy I don't think a dump truck could keep up :-D

I have no idea Scott
Great pics Irwin! I recognize most, the plum, white wild something primroses & dandylion. You are ahead of us also, haven't seen the dandy's but plum & cherry are going. What are those yellow things? I've never seen them around here. Grass is starting to grow too, gotta borrow the neighbors sheep! Where is Lakeside? you must be dryer than we are here.

The plum is starting to get a few bud's Lakeside is very wet it rained off and on all day yesterday but the day time temp's been in mid 50 with a few 60+ day's we even get rain some time's in July and august I'm going to check on the yellow bush / tree to see what it is today
Wow, for being so far north things are really blooming early. We dont get any blooms until the end of March sometimes into April. Great picture taking.
