After a week or so of the coldest nights we've had in years, our days are now in the 80s and dry, dry, dry. As is typical in southern California, quite a few plants are blooming, some just hanging on from autumn and ready to be cut back, some in full bloom, some just starting out for early spring. Here are a few of my favorites blooming today.
Baja fairy duster, Calliandra californica (top)
Hairy stemmed Rhipsalis, Rhipsalis pilocarpa
Andean silve
r leafed sage, Salvia discolor
The azalea was given to me by my husband's mother, who never forgot a person's birthday. The camellia was purchased 14 years ago by my husband at Nuccio's in Altadena; one of the few plants he selected for our garden.

The red flower looks like spider lilies.
