Ceanothus
Over the hill in Silicon Valley, the Ceanothus are blooming blue. For the last couple of decades, Caltrans has been using native plantings along the freeways, and they must use the finest, government-grade BS to fertilize them, because they sure bloom early and brilliantly over there. On this side of the hill, I haven't noticed any of the blue bloomers along highway 9 yet. (Maybe it's partly because I'm not doing that commute daily any more.)
The white-flowered ceanothus in my front yard is just this week starting to bloom.
