It’s Not Just Palm Trees and Bird of Paradise Flowers in the Fall Here in Carlsbad California
Many think we don’t have a change of seasons.
You’re wrong.
True, they are more subtle, but it’s not just palm trees (which don’t change all that much) and bird of paradise flowers in the fall here in Carlsbad.
The bird of paradise flowers bloom for long periods and have a second round in the fall and into the winter.
Take a look at this tree, around the corner from where I live in Carlsbad (taken yesterday).
Does THAT look like your notion of Southern California?
It’s true that we are pretty green most of the year, but there are a good number of deciduous trees that turn colors and lose their leaves like they do elsewhere. Of course they do that when it is in the 70s and 80s as it has been in the last few weeks but who can argue with that?
We’ll see snow on the distant mountains (1 – 2 hours away) soon, but I’ll take the palm trees and bird of paradise flowers in the fall here in Carlsbad.
