    Hello~
    I love this flower! I seem to have killed it twice in my S. Fl. zone 10 garden though, so I will admire your pics instead. I wanted to “Thank You” for adding my blog to your site. I have just added yours to my page. Great blog indeed!
    Have a great day~

    @Karrita -
    Well, things that require dormancy such as this plant are not likely going to be happy without winter. And then there’s that summer heat that fries them pretty much. You’ve got a pretty interesting plant palette down there to begin with – a few northern plants aren’t going to be missed. But it’s funny how we all want to grow the plants we can’t. :-)
