Hi All,

In southern CA the mild sunny days and overcast nights have brought out an abundance of flowers in our home garden. I snapped some photos this morning of hibiscus in the ground. This is the first location where I've been able to have a planted garden that won't freeze in winter (most years) instead of growing all hibiscus in pots that overwinter in the house or greenhouse. Cindy planted most of them herself, and to my surprise they love being in the ground as long as we water them deeply enough. Many are blooming better than even my greenhouse plants right now. That will change when the colder weather of December-Feb comes, but Fall flowers in the outdoor garden are a delight right now.

This first photo is of a Saffron, doing its normal thing along the front walk. Like Living Legend, it is a great bloomer in almost all situations. More photos with comments will follow this one, if I've done it right.
