Dear All, I live on an island in the Mediterranean, which being in the mediterranean climate zone, shares the climate with parts of Southern California. Many of the bulbs discussed here are growing well or wild on or around my property! I have several Sunset books, like the Western Garden Book (ISBN 0-376-03891-8) where the Sunset climate zones divide the state into 24 zones. My assessment is that I fit into USDA zone 10A as for example last winter there were perhaps 6 nights when the temperature fell to -2ºC / 28ºF for a period of time overnight. But that is not the whole picture, because of the summer heat, maritime air, humidity, drying winds etc. My question is thus, does any knowledgeable member here know of a website where I can put in my particular climate data to find an equivalent I suspect I am equivalent to zone 22. I have a weather station on line ( http://goo.gl/3aRJ2c/) but without trawling individually through the thousands of S. Cal weather stations to find somewhere similar, I am just making assumptions.
