What's blooming in the desert? February 2013

I have no garden yet this year, so I have decided to post photos of what's blooming around the desert.  Right now, these are blooming in February.  I DID order a desert wildflower seed mixture and a dry climate mixture of 1/4 pounds each from American Meadows, but I just threw out the seeds and nothing has sprouted yet.  I don't have my sunflowers this year because the city officials were such @##HOLES that I just didn't wish to deal with them...sigh...oh, well.
