Hi Jim.
You call central US weather "weird"; I prefer to think of it as
"interesting." Yes, I relocated to Rapid City from Augusta, GA. Actually
I'm kind of enjoying the winter weather, maybe because I spent most of my
life in Buffalo, NY and central PA. My feelings may change by March,
however. What shocked me was last summer -- a number of days above 100 F
made me think I moved to a desert somewhere. ("But, it was a dry heat.")
On a bulb related note -- I was happy on July 4 to come across a number of
blooming Calochortus gunnisonii (white flowered form) in the Black Hills.
Apparently they're fairly common there.
