Cathy - come on over any time. Low 70's all this week. We do get pretty hot in the summer though. LoL

Thanks, Rita. Freesias are hardy only in zones 9-10. So they will have to be indoor or greenhouse plants for you.

Ladybug - I've only tried growing the blanda anenomes only once. From a small patch, only one plant survived. It comes back every year, but I only get a few blooms from it and it has never multiplied.

Here is a shot of my front bed that is coming alive. I don't grow tulips as a rule because it doesn't get cold enough here for them to rebloom. Gardeners here treat them like annuals and replant every year. I am too lazy for that, but one year, I did plant some tulips on a whim and this particular patch has come back every year for the past 10 years. In front is some red ranunculus, with a few thalias peeking through. I revamped this bed last fall - The red ranunculus and thalias are in their first year - so hopefully everything should at least double by next year.
