Just found a climate graph on the US Climate Data website of Kula, Hawaii showing it’s average monthly rainfall and average monthly high and low temperatures. It’s actually even more pleasant of a climate than I remembered it. It reminds me of the San Francisco Bay Area climate.

I suspect A. belladonna would grow there without much trouble. There may be similar climates in other higher elevation tropical areas of the world (such as maybe Peru?). > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
