I visited the Huntington Botanic Gardens in San Marino (near Pasadena) and the LA Arboretum in nearby Arcadia on Sunday. No cornucopia of blooming bulbs, but the weather was abnormally balmy for late November ... near 85F, and I did encounter an apparently weedy Moraea sp, Oxais, Tulbaghia, Cliva, Stenomesson and what appeared to be a Gladiolus sp all in bloom ... so still an enjoyable visit: http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… At the LA Arboretum, I came across what appears to be an intergeneric hybrid Nerine of some sort: http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… In my own yard, two pots of Cyrtanthus mackenii are sending up their annual major flush of Winter blooms: http://flickr.com/photos/amarguy/… Ken Blackford San Diego, CA
