Winter in the Algarve

Robert,
Thank you (I think) for the vertiginous photo (3rd) of *Dodecatheon
clevelandii.*
Always a pleasure to see geophytes in habitat.
Think I'll close my eyes now, lie down, try to overcome the photo inducing
queasiness, and
dream of blooming geophytes.

western Washington where *Crocus tommasinianus* and hybrids are starting
into their glorious bloom, with frequent visitations by honey bees
gathering their early season meal of pollen (protein) on milder, dry days.
Also, *Galanthus* and *Cyclamen* coum in bloom, with *Scoliopus
bigelovii *popping up.
*Nothoscordum dialystemon* scenting the unheated greenhouse on the
occasional sunny day.

Yeah, no rain since December in the central California coastal mountains,,
however Shooting Stars are extraordinarily strong this year! Primula
(Dodecatheon) clevelandii growing on very steep meadows, in some places
forming a solid groundcover. Right now they are pretty much it for
geophytes...the just a couple Blue Dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum) although
the leaves are everywhere, and the unshowy Manroot (Marah fabacea).
