Madeira Geranium available

The days pickings from blueberry plants in my garden. These are planted in pots to better control soil acidity and moisture. Post provided by CF.

Daffodils (Narcissus sp.) are classics of spring but not so common outdoors in San Diego gardens because of our warmer climate.  Many years ago, I planted the bulb from a (supermarket) potted gift bouquet into my garden.  Each year if it flowers (like this year) I know it has been cooler and wetter than normal.  Most years only the leaves emerge without a flower.

Growing in the cleft of the rock in Joshua Tree N.P. is this young cactus, possibly Echinocactus polycephalus. The reddish hue is less commonly seen but may have been due to a recent rain and fresh growth.
