Beautiful Blanca! Spring is in the air here too, in San Diego.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

Thanks Blanca for the lovely ornamental flowers in bloom. What's happening with the native flowers--are they blooming out in the desert? You've got
to get out and look closely!
Then I scrolled down and saw Baquitos wild flower photos.
The purple flower is Phacelia parryi, (Parry's Phacelia) a beautiful native annual, found in northern Baja as well as CA. Some sources say it can
cause dermatitis, but again, I've handled it extensively while photographing it with no consequences (and I tend to be sensitive to things like that).
Have any trouble?
Pink thistle. Not familiar with the species in that area. May be native or introduced, but its still a pretty, if prickly, plant.

the little purple flowers are now blooming here....I think they are a verbena.
I am always so amazed to have gorgeous flowers in February!!!!!! My roses are opening this week which is always a big event in my life...and the
succulents are in full bloom now....not to mention the cherry tomatoes are so sweet...gotta love it.

my roses are NOT doing well ... I just can't seem to make them happy ... I move them here and there, I water once a week, then I water less than that,
in sun - out of sun. I should probably just give up but I am stubborn LOL

Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing, and don't give up on your roses. Do some internet research. My grandmother would wait until the Dia de Gloria
(Easter Sunday) and then make a few cuts on the trunk of any plant and she would claim that this would shock the plant and would produce blooms as a
survival mode. Who knows, maybe it will work for your roses. Give it a try

Ah yes, Spring is in the air --- In my yard, not in Baja, I caught this little one trolling for a pollinator.
