Southern California is such a wonderful place to be if you enjoy flowering plants because there is something blooming in our area virtually year around. The red Christmas cactus is a very recent purchase and is more fully in bloom than others we have because it was nursery forced. They are such a wonderful, long living, low care plant! The tiny white flowers were snipped from the Indian Hawthorne we planted in our patio a few years ago. We have "cousins" of it with pink blooms all over the condo community, which are glorious in the spring, but also give a second burst of color in late fall, followed by dark purple-blue berries. The orange clivia (shot through our kitchen window) was a bit of a surprise - that doesn't normally have flowers until the spring! It's a very mature plant now which had five or six flower stalks last year so I'm sure we'll be enjoying it for quite some time. The single bloom from our "Noel" camellia was it's first; it was soon followed by many others.
