Yup, we need our antihistamines too.

15. Last time I saw those

was during my last trip to San Diego about two years ago, they're ubiquitous but pretty.

5. Very nice!

You have some very beautiful and unique flora in your area! Great shots, as always!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much, my dear Ohiogal!

These are pretty common in my area. They grow well and are low-maintenance.

6. Thanks Peggy, they're lovely!

The little buds look like they're going to burst open any second.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thank you so much, my dear Talitha!

And those buds will probably be open by tomorrow.

I actually think they're prettier just before opening, but of course the flower has other ideas!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Ah, thank you so much, my dear Callalily!

I'm always looking for new ways to show just how beautiful they are.

Coming from you, this is high praise indeed.

In fact, I was trying to get the perfect depth of field.
