Ojai, cool thread! My son will love this!

I sent you a PM. Could you check and see if you got it?

Ed, many of your pix aren't coming through for me. Am I the only one?

don't know why the images wouldn't "get through"

many are served off of my internet provider page, these should be OK? of course, I can see them but they may be cached...

the last two posts had images uploaded to the ST Photo server

One of my favorites is the chocolate lily or Fritillaria affinis. They are actually edible (the bulbs), and deer love the tops when they come up in early spring late winter.

Our yard is all native plants
Mountain Misery...why do they call it that? It smells so good, reminds me of camping at The Needles and the Forks of The Kern put in. Hoping to get it to grow around our yard as ground cover.
Another one that smells great.^^
Sadly, a lot of the ponderosa pines around here are going to die from the drought and beetles...but the Oaks are doing okay.
The Buckeye's had a rough season too, short but sweet. Come on rain!

my guess is that xfinity and comcast changed the url for the servers... I notice I can't get this at work and that the browser times out with the message "server not responding"

such a pain...

No. I hate Los Angeles! Seriously. L.A.'s a freaking hell hole.

I don't think Randy Newman really likes L.A. either. Listen close to the lyrics, and think about the streets mentioned in that song. Check out the cast of characters in that video.

^I hear that. I lived in Hollywood at one time.

I do like Randy though and luckily La Crescenta isn't in LA.

Waiting for the plumber, so what the heck. Natives in the front yard.

Island tree mallow or Malva assurgentiflora,

Over the last 10 years the some of the flora in the lower elevations of San Diego have been shifting to higher elevations. Personally, I think this is due to less winter rain. Two examples are the classic mariposa lilly and the royal penstemon. I used to find them in the Mission Trails regional park as late as 5 years ago, but no more. Got to get above 1500ft now.

My two grown sons, California natives both, were born in the same SoCal hospital as their great-grandfather.

The only California Native are the brown-skinned indigenous peoples that are descendants of the peoples who once roamed this land before there was ever a border to cross. That border crossed them, not the other way around.
