Flowering Currant

Flowering Currant
Ribes sanguineum

Flowering Currant is native to California and surrounding states, but is limited to the Western US. The pink flowers are some of the first flowers to bloom in springtime, and a major food source for hummingbirds in early spring.

In the fall, it will produce clusters of seedy blue-black berries, which are a popular snack for both humans and animals alike.
