United States—that’s why they like regular water—even in the summer. Dwarf crested iris, like many other irises, have special stems called rhizomes that creep along the ground, spreading and growing into large clumps that bloom generously in the early spring. You can divide them right after they bloom, or in the fall, and I have even divided them successfully in late winter. Iris reticulata and I. histrioides are two dwarf iris that grow from bulbs, rather than rhizomes. The species name reticulata comes from the word reticulate and refers to the netted outer covering of the bulbs. The bulbous iris flowers are about three inches across and six inches tall when they bloom. There are many hybrids with colors that are predominantly shades of blue, often with white or yellow markings, but there are some with purple or white flowers, as well as yellow if you include I. danfordiae. This group of iris is excellent in pots and in rock gardens. The leaves look unusual, very straight and tall, with the two long edges curled so tight they look cylindrical. The bulbous irises are well suited to our Mediterranean climate; they originated in the Caucasus and Asia Minor. They need regular moisture from fall through spring, but during the summer they go completely dormant and water should be withheld. They do like a cold winter, and some varieties start blooming as early as the end of January. The final and smallest dwarf iris I want to tell you about is one I’ve grown for Nancy Schramm Nancy several years, but only recently identified. Iris reticulata are about three inches across and six inches tall when they bloom. Iris suaveolens has a bronzy-yellow blossom that is only about three or four inches tall. The leaves are short and stout, nicely A Passion for Plants framing the flowers. It has grown really well for me in pots, but I’m still learning when This Isn’t Your Grandma’s Iris—or Is It? to divide it successfully. This is a great iris to use as a companion plant for bonsai.

withstand a heavy rain right before harvest, it’s disastrous for cherries because it causes the fruit to burst and crack. So what does this year look like for California’s cherry crop? Right now, positive. The Murrys, our friends in Arvin, right near Bakersfield, started picking cherries in the middle of April. Due to the rains, they’ve lost about 25 percent of their first crop of Brooks’ cherries. Bakersfield is much warmer than the central coast, so they’re the first in the state to pick cherries. The Murrys, like us, grow several varieties of cherries, which stretches the seasons from front to back. As I write this article there is rain in the forecast, so they have their fingers crossed. Our cherries are still sorting themselves out so there is no reason to worry yet. Unlike our friends, Hollister is the last to pick cherries in California. NOTE: For the best tasting cherries buy bright, firm fruit with green stems. Fruit that is old or has been stored in cold storage will be soft and tasteless.

When reading a book like this, keep in mind that most of it is being written with the stream angler in mind. We don’t have many streams in this region, but the lessons can be utilized for fishing warm water lakes. Of course, you can always take a day trip to the Sierra Nevada mountains and try your luck on a stream, as the season opened Saturday, April 30. All the lakes in this area have spots where you can fly fish successfully, but where you fly fish on each lake is the key. Look for shallow coves and bays where there is a gentle slope and where there is cover for the fish to hide. Grass, bushes, submerged weeds and rocks all draw fish and provide cover. Approach with stealth: be quiet and walk slowly and softly. The fish are right against the bank this time of year.

Side- blotched lizards are another common species with smoother scales than fence lizards and colorful patterns on their sides spotted pink, tan, orange and blue. Other lizard species in the region include alligator lizards and Gilbert’s skinks—both stocky lizards that skulk in leaf litter in search of insect prey—and whiptail lizards. Whiptails prefer very hot temperatures, have very long tails and move extremely fast in sandy habitats in search of butterflies, moths and other insect prey. Perhaps the most striking lizard in the region is the coastal horned lizard. Appearing rather like a tiny armored dinosaur, horned lizards have spikes on their heads and sides to make them less appetizing to predators, and very wide, flat bodies. If provoked, they can bleed out of their eyes as a way to tell predators to “stay away.” They are masters of camouflage, blending in well to their sandy and rocky- soiled surroundings. They predominantly eat ants, and—like other lizards —fulfill an important role of controlling and limiting insect populations. Lizards can be a fun subject for photography. They can be very fast, but if you approach them slowly and patiently, you will often be rewarded with lizards posing as they soak in the sun’s rays or exhibit some interesting behavior, including mating displays and capturing insect prey.
