I love the free mulch my city provides - they even deliver it for free. There are also several spots locally where I can go and shovel my own. Have seen this in Northern California too.

The blooms only last a few days.

The only solution I've found to the sideways pic thing is to flip them in my phone before I upload to photobucket.
