Dear All, After a (very busy) break in communicating with you I would like to come back to you, maybe I missed some communication, please excuse me in that case. Here in Germany we got some frightening pictures of heavy rainfall in the Californian desert. It later came to my mind that after so much water the desert should be blooming very beautifully afterwards. As there are so many Californian members in the PBS I would like to know when approximately the flowering period is to be expected. I am aware that it cannot be predicted to the day and that there will be differences in such a big place like California. It will also depend on altitude. It is a dream since childhood to see the desert in bloom so if the time is suitable, I may come and have a look........ Thank you in advance and many greetings from continuous light frost in Germany, Uli
