This is the first one of the year with more blossoms on the way. I’m thinking of placing my camera trap facing the next round of buds when I see them beginning to open. Maybe I’ll catch one of its pollinators, the spectacular white-lined sphinx moth. This species isn’t native to the coast, but I couldn’t resist it. It’s well-behaved in the garden and I pluck spent blooms.
