Salvia Leucopylla, Purple Sage, in the late afternoon shade.  Nikon 180/2.8 AiS.  Native to California, but in this case planted as landscaping by the Department Of Transportation.

Nice flower, and nice colors.
I like the way the background is rendered.

Quite a beauty reminds me a bit of a Monarda and also Phlomis, the stacked flowering.

Yes
Not as bad as it sounds.  But you would be glad that it's not smell-o-vision.

No
Just a state north of you ,but in the NW corner

Ken's skunk cabbage is western skunk cabbage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysichiton_americanus), common in the Northwest, different from eastern skunk cabbage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus) or California Corn Lily (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus), which I grew up calling skunk cabbage, common up near Lassen National Park close to where I grew up. 

Western skunk cabbage can have a definite odor but has never much bothered me. Here's an image of one near where I camped several weeks ago, in that same NW corner of Ken's state:

Keith - nice light in that Salvia shot.

Tim and Ken - nice flowers! Do you know what kind of insects these plants attract?

Spring time.. willow flowers.

Some indoor work on a rainy corona day.
At least this herb smells delightful.
