The Flannelbush in full yellow voice, a Skipper on Milkweed, and Pipevine Swallowtail eggs on the CA Dutchman’s Pipevine leaves (hopefully soon to be thoroughly chowed 🐛 ) in the spring garden.

California Flannelbush, aka Fremontia (Fremontodendron californica) in full yellow bloom up close and behind to the bright blue sky. A small brown Skipper butterfly (Hesperiidae sp.) perched on top of a Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) leaf. A cluster of small brownish California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly eggs on the underside of a California Pipevine leaf (Aristolochia californica) - planted in an urban Sonoma County garden as the Pipevine is the only food source for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly and provides critical habitat.  Clutches of eggs all over this vine point to success!

We’re not closing the street to cars, we’re opening it to people. It’s not a low traffic neighborhood, it’s a low air-pollution neighborhood.
