Flowering manzanita
Divorced from nature, most of us fail to notice the subtle changes throughout the year that our ancestors had to know to survive, so I’ll make my contribution here today—it’s that time of winter in the San Francisco Bay Area when the elegant Manzanita (“little apple”) Arctostaphylos flowers. Hardly anything else dares to be so bold, though the California Buckeye will produce quite a display in a month or so.
