It is a crazy 85 degrees here today the second week of February!!! What is going on ?? My garden of California nativeplants is so confused and everyone is bursting into bloom . The insects are coming for the nectar and the orange crowned warbler is singing his spring breeding song continuously. It feels so strange and out of sync. #scarletmonkeyflower #californialilac #bladderpod #fairyduster #manzanita #californianativeplants #nativeplants #gardenhabitat #killyourlawn #lifeinyourgarden @josephbrooksjewelry (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxZaeqPjQD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another first for me: #ErythrantheCardinalis / #ScarletMonkeyflower. A big, vibrant, red #monkeyflower that grew right at the edges of the stream with the leopard lilies and columbines. #monkeyflowers #erythranthe #californianativeplants #sandiegonativeplants (at Laguna Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR5Oworjy0_/?utm_medium=tumblr

The native plants in my garden think it’s spring already even though most of the country in under snow still. #scarletmonkeyflower #monkeyflower #mimuluscardinalis the bees are in heaven #flowerlovers #nativeplants #californiawildflowers #blooming #beautyallaround @josephbrooksjewelry (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnuO42hwL8/?igshid=16gk38gt59zgw
