Chasmanthe in Montara (for the flower starved)

Dee

This is my favorite Chasmanthe patch. Here is the address, Third and Farallone. Third street is a main drag with either cars and trucks every few seconds or runners, joggers or dog walkers. Everyone slows down and looks at you taking pictures, but no confrontations :-)

Here's the street sign and the Chasmanthe bushes. This was unusual for me because at our old house we only had the orange red blooms, so when I discovered yellow as well I was quite pleased.



Here is a red "bud"


And a yellow "bud"

I was here late afternoon and I'd have better exposure probably earlier in the day.

Enjoy discovering Chasmanthe.

I found a patch of red blooms near our library in town... but no yellow ones.
