The Party’s Over
California Christmas Holly, Toyon (12/17/14) John Poimiroo
With successive storms having lashed the state over the past two weeks, California Holly (toyon) is now providing seasonal color across a mostly bare landscape. This Sunday, Dec. 21, is the Winter Solstice and fall color has effectively disappeared throughout most of California.
A few bright spots exist in Southern California, though it’s mostly gone and not distinctive. So, until next autumn, CaliforniaFallColor.com is declaring the party over. See you next year.
California (Past Peak) – You Missed It!
I enjoyed the colors – wish we could either back up or speed forward to next fall – but then I would miss the dogwoods blooming in the spring. thanks for a great site to look through.
Getting back to managing the site, at the close of the holidays and saw your note, Sandy. Thanks for the contributions this past autumn. I share your affection for dogwood in springtime.
