It's the second or third straight day of rain in Santa Monica and this is December weather! When the rain went from cold shower to drizzle, I took the opportunity to do my daily (sort of) walk-about. I noticed that blossoms have started popping all over despite the still-cool temperatures!
I don't know the name of most of these lovely plants but I am delighted by them just the same.

| Yellow flowers seem to trumpet their beauty. |
 |
| Blossoming jade plant. |
 |
| Even Birds of Paradise have bad hair days when it rains. |
 |
| Then there's this adventurous blossom, first on the tree to show its delicate pink, happy face. I just love the flora and fauna of Santa Monica. It's never dull and I am always charmed by the surprise of newly opened flowers or cactus blooms. |
It's like Spring only without the Spring temperatures.
 |
| I don't know what this is but it's wonderfully fragrant. |
 |
| This handsome, regal cactus has an about-to-blossom red bulb where a flower will soon peek through. |

| A wild and wonderful orange-red plant, dripping in rain. |
