Herbert the cat,
is quite content in quarantine.
He watches the Holler burst in bloom! Rock Roses show off.
Bearded Iris,
and Matijila Poppies,
reach for the sky.
Cactus flowers are everywhere,
while Mexican Evening Primrose blanket the slopes.
Southern California Wild Grape vines are producing bumper crops.
Cheers to you from The Blooming Holler~
Spring time blooms,
have long since passed,
as summer sun bakes the land.
Prickly cacti,
wake and yawn.
Emboldened by the heat,
they burst with blooms.
Delicate blossoms,
grace the garden.
Cheers to you from The Holler’s Summer Bloomers~
