tuliDescription
dirt back road with a spontaneous stream along one side that appeared 4 or 5 years ago that never dries up and that I personally believe is the result of a [massive] underground leak from the National water treatment plant and the north-south carrier that were being developed around that time on the far side of the local hills

Licking Apple...
Something I witness frequently with this species.
I sometimes put out an apple or two for the birds,in-turn attracting geckos,pretty sure they seek them out and cover open ground for these treats.
-Have witnessed them licking new flower buds on some plants.
Sorry,Smartphone+Night = Bad quality.

One of multiple individuals of this species (I'm fairly confident of my ID) flowering in the area burnt in Jan 2019, but displaying an unusual number of petals. A bit of a genetic anomaly I suppose?
