California’s State Bird: California Quail
--From the Newsletter of Roseville Better Gardens Club

The California quail (Lophortyx californica), also known as the valley quail, became the official state bird in 1931. A widely distributed and prized game bird, it is known for its hardiness and adaptability. Plump, gray-colored, and smaller than a pigeon, the California quail sports a downward curving black plume on top of its head and black bib with white stripe under the beak. Flocks number from a few to 60 or more in the fall and winter months, but in the spring break into pairs. They nest in hollows scratched in the ground and concealed by foliage, and their eggs, 6 to 28 in number, are creamy white and thickly spotted with golden brown.

Focus on Natives: Seaside Daisy
--From the Newsletter of Roseville Better Gardens Clubs
“Erigeron glaucus” (Seaside Daisy) is an evergreen, perennial plant in the daisy (“Asteraceae”) family that grows on the coast of California and north into Oregon. Seaside daisy is a sturdy, low-growing plant with low water needs. When planted inland or in pots, some supplemental water is needed. It has a long flowering season (May to July), flowers in shades of lavender and pink with yellow centers. Deadheading can prolong the flowering season. Butterflies, bees, bats, and caterpillars are attracted to the flowers.
Companion plants include Coast Dudleya, Bright Green Dudleya, and California Sea Pink.
