It's strange to see trees flowering in January, especially the ones that look like fruit tree blossoms. I wonder who is around to pollinate them? I haven't seen any bees, maybe the odd bumbling fly and a few gnats, but that's about it for flying insects. I have seen quite a few hummingbirds however; I seem to see them when I am out walking in the early part of the day.

| No idea what this one is. It just started blooming in the past couple of weeks, and has a really strong, pleasant fragrance. |

| This, and the following red flowering shrub, are both Camellias. They seem to bloom all winter as well. Some of these shrubs are as big as large apple trees. |
