Jacarandas provide a lavender haze to the county, plant your bulbs on the waning moon
Monkey flowers are showing up
Jacaranda flowers bloom in Point Loma Heights.
Blue-Blossoming Jacarandas (the City of San Diego’s official “street tree”) have already produced a first wave of color all over the region. By early or mid-May, warm weather permitting, this Brazilian import could put on a dazzling show. The larger jacarandas, which in full bloom are leafless (or nearly so), display myriads of delicate, trumpet-shaped blossoms — a lavender haze when seen from afar. Jacarandas are commonly used as landscaping in parks and on most college campuses. Nice rows of jacarandas grace Ash Street downtown, Rosecrans Boulevard in Point Loma, 25th Street in Golden Hill, and Mission Village Drive above what was Qualcomm Stadium.
Wild Monkey Flower along a trail in Poway.
Monkey-Flowers Of Various Species are putting on a decent display this month around San Diego — despite the scant rainfall. Look for these low, shrub-like plants with tubular yellow, orange, or red flowers wherever native vegetation clothes the landscape — from the coastal bluffs to the lower slopes of the mountains. As you drive Interstates 8 or 805 near Mission Valley, look for the rust tint these flowers give to the steep hillsides. On the terraces just above San Onofre State Beach, you can usually see springtime monkeyflower blossoms of every intermediate shade from yellow to red.
April's Full Moon Was On The 1st of the month and now it's in its waning phase. Folk tradition says that the moon affects your garden and as the quantity of moonlight decreases, plants are encouraged to grow roots, tubers, and bulbs. So plant flowering bulbs, biennial and perennial flowers, and vegetables that bear their harvest below ground this week — such as carrots, onions, and potatoes.
