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.

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.

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.

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.
