Top image is wild-hyacinth (aka blue dicks, Dichelostemma pulchellum); 2nd is a Mirabilis (four-o'clock family); next the monkeyflower; then you have coffeeberry (used to be Rhamnus, now Frangula); then a zygadene, Zigadenus, possibly Z. fremontii, which do have poisonous bulbs or corms; then a fiddleneck (Amsinckia sp.); next looks like Salvia to me, too; pond; then a Ceanothus, could be C. thyrsiflorus if this species gets that far south; generically known as California-lilac or wild-lilac, or just as often as ceanothus, a better name since they are unrelated to lilacs.
