What's Blooming in the Chaparral in April?

So, this is what it looks like nowadays during my early-morning-seminary jog.  The hills are beautiful this time of year.  They really benefitted from the wet winter.


 There are so  many things blooming in the chaparral this month that I haven't gotten around to identifying them - sorry.  I thought I'd post the pictures anyway.  I'll label the ones I know, or guess at some I might know.
Hairy Vetch (?)
Purple Sage (I think I've heard it called black sage too)
 


A relative of the pea family
California Buckwheat




Golden Yarrow

Current berries
