Big bloom.

Goodness ! That is big ...

I never would have thought possible just 2 years ago. Not in the bay area outdoors.
Its getting to be where just about anything is worth a try now.
We set a record for warmest fall ever here. Lows were 7f above average. A huge difference.

It's above average here too but colder than where you are.

Its all relative. For me,this change up..takes away so many frosts and freezes. 35f is so much better then 32f..a killing temp. At a cold 35f,Banana's are evergreen..at 32f,they are killed back to stems.
So..only 3f can make a huge impact..and for sure visually here in the bay area.

I didn't know it got as cold as that in California.
It's been 10 C here today, and showery. I like it when we get a mild winter.
