floral snapshot

echium

what ~ pride of madeira (echium).

where ~ on a sausalito hillside.

when ~ yesterday.

why ~ because it's that time of year, when these cool architectural beauties start blooming and brightening up the hills of sausalito (and other bay area coastal areas) with their electric blue/purple color.  the flowering spires can get quite large - like up to 6' - and they can look sort of other-worldly.  these showy babes are about to be in their full glory.  spring in almost here!  

xo, c
