N20141030-0067—Arctostaphylos manzanita—RPBG

Arctostaphylos manzanita—common manzanita. Depending on your point of view, manzanitas are either the first or last plant to bloom at the garden each year. Either way, they are a glorious sight in our garden starting about this time of year and continuing until May or thereabouts. A. manzanita is a reliable fall and winter bloomer. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
