That looks like it - I did a google search, thanks. Knew it wasn't an
oleander - grew up with those. The Rhaphiolepis are normally not very
interesting, just something to look greenish on the road. But this year
they outdid themselves. I do like the wildflowers on the 1 driving South
into Monterey - a mixture of California poppys (orange) and blue lupines.
Did they bloom this year?
