While most of the country is battling snow and freezing rain,
a few plants and trees are blooming here in the San Francisco Bay Area. With our
Mediterranean climate, and its mild, foggy weather and winter rain, we
are blessed with blooms of some kind almost all year round. Even in January!

| Manzanita spp. in full bloom |
Here are a few that I found in January. Only the Manzanita
is native, but the blossoms are still a pleasure to see in the dark, rainy
(yes!) days of January.

| Mahonia x media - golden fingers |
 |
| Acacia spp. - just starting to bloom |
I’ll be on the lookout for the next few months, for favorite and
unexpected blooms, as I carry out daily activities.

| Azaleas are loving the January rain |
