Our Dogwoods and Black Chokeberry have peaked for the season up in Boston (mid-May). Looks like you are about 3 weeks ahead of us. I need to check on the red chokeberry, but I don't think it has popped yet. Great photos. Our Dogwoods and Black Chokeberry have peaked for the season up in Boston (mid-May).

As a beekeeper I'm very thankful that you're promoting plants for them. As a gardener and naturalist I love your native plant choices -- so beautiful! Oooh!

Not only are they natives, they have a lovely 'white' theme, which is so fresh and spring-like in itself:-) Beautiful, all of them.

I can <em>highly</em> recommend them. Mine was only planted last year and it is a baby at about 3.5', so I was surprised it bloomed at all. NN is not the type to fertilize it to bits and force blooming. The flowers are tiny, about the size of your pinky nail but the little lady is covered in them. I love it. It's in fairly deep shade as well. CV - it is good for zones 5 - 8, so I do not know if you can grow it where you are in CA.
