Not much is in bloom in an Oregon garden in January, but coyote bush (Baccharis pilularis) is an enthusiastic exception. This male plant has been flowering for several weeks.

Coyite bush is a large shrub -- heights of 12 ft/3.5 m or more are common -- and is native to Oregon, California, and Baja California.
