Shooting stars is one of the common names for the native wildflower Primula hendersonii. They, like quite a few other wildflowers, have bloomed early due to our warm, dry False Spring. They are quite lovely to see.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
It's cloudy and chilly on the Mendonoma Coast today. Hoping for rain, and it is in the forecast for early next week.
