Late Bloomer

Any botanists, amateur or professional?  What is it in Southern California that has been making my nights miserable for the last month or so (early June to early July) when the windows are left open?  Is there something releasing pollen late at night?  Is there some reason I have to megadose on Benadryl to make it through the night?  Something in San Gabriel / Pasadena to set one’s allergies on full alert?  Note I’m allergic to most weeds, trees, and grasses.

Why do I want to know?  Simple curiosity?  No.  “Find it and kill it”.  :-)

    Hey Dave, you ever been mistaken for a man?

    No. Have you?

    Benadryl has never worked for me. So freaking annoying, although, I have to say, it’s much better than at the beginning of Spring. Where I live, it doesn’t matter what color your car is, it’s yellow in the mornings. haha

    Benadryl works best for me, but it knocks me out, so I can only take it at night.  Nothing I’ve found works during the day and, I agree with you, the beginning of Spring is worse.
