Ceanothus, blooming right now all over Sonoma County.
Ceanothus is a large genus of diverse, versatile, and beautiful North American species in the buckthorn family, Rhamnaceae. Many are native to California, and some are endemic to Sonoma County. The genus includes over 60 shrubs, prostrate or mounding, often from 1-6 ft. high, although native C. arboreus and C. thrysiflorus can become small trees up to 18-20 ft. tall.
