Trifolium repens, white or Dutch clover, is a perennial abundant in meadows and good pastures. The flowers are white or pinkish, becoming brown and deflexed as the corolla fades. Trifolium hybridum, alsike or Swedish clover, is a perennial which was introduced early in the 19th century and has now become naturalized in Britain.
Between June and November you can watch humpbacks and blue whales, the best time being from June to September. In the waters of Santa Barbara, blue whale sightings are pretty regular, the area being one of the best to see blue whales worldwide. Numerous types of dolphins and occasionally orcas, too, can be spotted here.
You can take a whale-watching tour like we did, or just head to the western overlook of Cabrillo National Monument. The peak time to see these massive whales is mid-January. Blue whales and fin whales can be spotted on whale-watching tours from mid-June to September.
