We have some kind of broom but I think it is Spanish broom. The blackberry that I've been seeing is the native one. Himalaya berry is supposed to be around but I haven't seen it.
You're right about it being crowded down here but it seems to be my destiny to be here. Thank goodness for all of the parks in the local Santa Monica Mountains and the beaches of western Malibu that are uncrowded.
I don't know what pollinates my chasmanthe but it is very fertile. I'll have to take pictures for the Plant Database.
