Tush Since you last visited, the B. josephinae bulbs here in Berkeley have split and grown so we get 2-4 spectacular blooms every summer. As far as southern CA, Santa Barbara focuses on native California plants, but Lotusland nearby is worth visiting and my personal favorite in the Huntington near Pasadena.
