Spring and Rain in SCalifornia 03-20-18

Big rain predicted for Wednesday and Thursday, we all hope it is a gentle rain, so that it will soak in and not run off into the sea.  And a gentle rain will not create the terrible mudslides where the wildfires ate up all the foliage last fall.  Today I drove by some of the open country that is still just brown soil with black dead trees and bushes.   If the rain is torrential all those hillsides will be on the roadways.  Sad.   However, Spring is springing here.  There are bedding plants blooming in front yards and the fragrance of citrus blossoms and pink jasmine is heavy in the mornings when we walk.  

Here are some more March blooming plants. 

Heliotrope (with a wonderful fragrance)

Red Kangaroo Flower

Marigolds

Red Hot Poker

Single Fuchsia

Dutch Iris
