Watercolor: Toyon Blossom

Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), or Christmas Berry, has almost done blooming by now. Currently the green berries on the trees are slowly turning into red. By the time of Christmas and New Year, these trees decked will red berries and green leaves will be the most delightful holiday eye-candy. Toyon is also called California Holly. This California native perennial shrub grow abundantly in Los Angeles area, therefore we have an area called Hollywood!
