In coastal Northern CA so many plants are evergreen, but nonetheless January and February are rather dull with many gray rainy days. So I always look forward to what is late spring here, when my freesias start to bloom. They are getting bigger and showier every year. I try to encourage the red ones, but the yellow freesia seem to multiply faster. Oh well, they all smell so good anyway, it doesn't matter what color they come in! These are mixed with a Vibernum tinus 'Spring Bouquet' that is also in bloom from top to bottom.

Out here we have serious tulip envy. There isn't enough winter chill for them to come back so they have to be treated as annuals here.
