It has been an incredibly dry and cold winter/spring here in Northern California. That means that the grass hasn't grown much so it isn't overwhelming the flowers and we are being treated to quite a show.

Really pretty. Reminds me of the Sonoran blooms I saw a few years back.

What other wildflowers are blooming in NorCal right now?

As I said over on yours, such a stunning display!

Oh boy, that's really lovely! I lived in dry southern California for nearly 40 years, and even the tiniest bloom was treasured.

Love the golden poppies! I grew up in the Bay Area and moved to New England, so I miss seeing them.

That's a really disconcerting combination to an Alaskan eye because while we have poppies bloom in the spring, lupine are typically a late-summer (August) flower here. But, hey, they're gorgeous and we who still have a foot of snow on the ground thank you for the vicarious pleasure of them!
