While my two big sages duke it out for dominance, the hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea) just keeps blooming.
Battle of the Sages! White Sage (Salvia apiana) vs ‘Allen Chickering’ Sage (S. clevelandii x leucophylla). The white sage has got the height but the Chickering the mass. In terms of flowers it’s a tie at 3.4 gazillion each.

My bladder pod (Peritoma arborea) won’t have a first bloom of the season because it never stops blooming. As Spring approaches though, its flower production kicks into high gear.
Ho-hum. Just another blooming ceanothus…
