Cacti and Classicism an Unlikely Pairing

While mid-February is just a bit early to capture the festive early spring blooming of bright yellow mustard flowers in the vineyards throughout the wine country, I did see a few eager mustard sprouts ready to announce the coming of spring on my recent visit to the historic Sonoma Mission Vineyard in located Sonoma, California. What I didn’t expect on this visit was to have my focus shift from the sleepy dormant grapevines of winter to the vibrant surrounding native and drought-tolerant plants growing in this charming historic vineyard.
