Survey for blue ceanothus along SR74 driving up from Hemet. C. leucodermis was the only blue-flowering Ceanothus I found.
These were the first ones I spotted where I could pull over to take a pix of them, but they unfortunately weren't very close to the road and it would have been a steep climb to get to them.
See my next Ceanothus post for up-close pix of the next set of plants I could stop for:

This post is of a large stand of C. leuco just up from the South Fork Trailhead.
Corolla width 17 mm, placing it in the 10 to 40 mm range of N.m. var. menziesii, and outside the 6 to 15 mm range of var. integrifolia.
