I see this olive tree year round during some of my walks, but this is the first time I caught it encircled by the poppies.

It’s hard to stay home when the world outside is still blooming away after the winter rains!

Matilija Poppies
Matilija (pronounced muh-till-i-hah) poppies are amazing flowers. They bloom all at once, have flowers about 5″ in diameter, and can stand over 6 feet tall. Impressive when you have vast swaths of them. This year’s crop is magnificent!.
Last Year, This Year
Yucca plants bloom in the spring, and then die back. The stalks remain behind and new growth sprouts nearby. The leaves at the base of the stalk are sharp and spiky. They are a protected plant in California. Every year, I love seeing the hillsides dotted with their tall flower stalks – often they are 7 – 10 feet tall. In a land of low scrub, it is a pleasant break to the eye.
