It always surprises me to see our native plants on the other side of the world...and to hear people lusting after plants that we take for granted too.

They remind me why I loved living in California as a child. I love the rounded leaves of the Columbine and the Aloe is just stunning! What gorgeous colors in the garden.

Joco - the aloes are big bloomers here with a long bloom time, starting in December. My neighborhood has a lot of big old ones blooming right now. Nell Jean - I kind of want an early summer, too, though I know we need the rain. TownMouse - I'm trying to keep the list, at least for the months like December and February when there are fewer things blooming. I think Zanthan Gardens does it, and she's able to look back at past years and see what's different. I'm thinking it will be an interesting record of this garden some day. Melody - I'm glad I brought them home. James - I've seen those photos of hellebores in the snow too. Tough plants and really pretty. All of the Louis Edmunds that we've planted have developed a nice shape without a lot of training. Brad - The dark hellebores are probably my favorites. Helen - Thanks. I see the crocosmia like that every morning, and finally decided to take a photo. Susie - Manzanitas are pretty much my favorites, and I'm really happy with this particular one. Thanks for the comments everyone.

But I really have my eyes on that Manzanita of yours, such a beautiful form even without the bloom.
