In misty San Francisco, a wander around the yard produced: Zantedeschia White Giant, Calceolaria mexicana and a dwarf hybrid (red, both are questionable annuals in my conditions), Canaria canariensis, Haemanthus albiflos (the H. pauculifolius are showing that they are albiflos, as I expected), Dombeya macrantha (small tree, the pink inflorescences are more robust in the winter), Lachenalia viridiflora, Rhododendron (spoiling the spring show), Oxalis purpurea of a number of forms, Oxalis obtusa (various), flava, stenorhyncha, Sisyrinchium Quaint & Queer (everblooming, but not interestingly so), Leucoryne tiny Jewels (amazingly long lasting flowers!), Arctotis hybrids(groundcover daisies), Mimulus bifidus (bush, white, native), Acis tingitana, Narcissus romieuxii, Albuca Augrabies Hills and osmynella?, Nemophila menziesii (Baby Blue Eyes, native), Cotula linearloba (another daisy groundcover), Sidalcea malviflora Purpetta (time to deadhead), Lotus jacobeus (black flowered bean relative), Thunbergia alata. In the back, there are flowers on the Hydrangea, Abutilon, and the common calla lily. Thanks to the BXs for several of these! I'm right on the border between USDA 10a/10b with rare visits to the lower 30s and chance of radiational frost in open areas, normal lows are in the 40sF/5+C.
