Bill had mentioned his never really dropped any leaves and are looking great. I think he had a couple that were dormant , but most are going strong. I'm sure your trees will bounce back fast with your great temps.. So many of you in southern Cali had a mild winter... I'll have to post a pic for you later of a place I was in a few days ago.. Tons of snow.. Ugh!!

Enjoy your early season, Wendi!! You are so lucky!!!

Have a wonderful night!!

Laura

Excellent shot, Laura! Hoping for warm weather soon!

Thank you, Mark! It sure was a surprised to see in the cold month of February!! I'm ready for the warmth too!!

Take care,

Laura

Beautiful flower! I got curious to see just how cold it could be in Virginia Beach at this time of the year, and I was astounded! My weather site says you're still having lows in the TEENS.. I'm only in 9b, and we shouldn't have anything below the low 50's at this time of the year. Highs are already in the upper 60's. Winter is technically over here.

It is cold here!! That is true.. Brrr.. My trees are all inside resting and some are in my greenhouse. I can't keep anything outside at all during the winter. So this was a nice surprise to see...

Glad it is warming up for you!!!

Take care,

Laura

We only have two months (or less) of winter. Some years, we don't even freeze. ;) We have typical fall weather October-mid December, and then we have winter-lite for about two months. Our low this year was 31°, and that lasted for one day. We only had 3 other days with lows in the 30's, and they were all high 30's. Then we get a long spring, and fairly standard summer. I've been here three years, and we never get hotter than 91° in the summer because of being so close to the Gulf waters.

I see plumerias outside all over town year-round, I just wasn't brave enough to try that.

I know some people love the four seasons, but I am not one of them. If you ever get tired of it, you're welcome on Galveston Island. ;)

i love seeing your plumeria photos Laura! They're all gorgeous.

Jedoba, I hate winter too! I want to be where it is warm and hot all year long!

Laura, gorgeous as always. I have so many inflos starting to set on ones that have never bloomed. Polynesian Sunset for one, and Tangerine Dream for another....hope they stay because I think we will get 1 more cold snap before too long. Enjoy, roxanne

Thank you, jedoba!! That is very kind of you!! I am ready to visit !!

Tamela.. You are so nice.. Thank you!!

Roxanne!! Sounds like you are going to have an awesome season!! I am so ready.... Please.. I am for the new season!!!

Take care,

Laura

Laura,
Very pretty!! Reminds me of Kaneohe Sunrise a bit. A bit of tropical beauty during the snow.
Enjoy
