I was out pulling weeds today (yes, no really, it's true) and jumped when this hopped across my body.
Now I'm not really a sissy, but we just don't get garden delights like this everyday here in the desert!

Yes, there is a blooming season, and it is quite lovely when all in bloom. We have hummingbirds, and 2 birds nests in the olive tree.
