If you haven't seen it yet, check out the update to Turb jauernigii & friends I posted yesterday. That'll give you the scoop on my new portable GH, and putting it together at the beginning of last month was perfect timing since it looks like we'll be in for a very wet SoCal winter.

By the way -- there won't be much activity going on with the collection over the next month or so, but I'll hit the ground running when I start a new 2015 Member Topics thread after the holidays. As I look back on my best growing season yet, I'm eager to show everyone what next year will have in store for us!

Thanks, Sue!

Well, I think "all that rain" is little bit better than "all that snow", isn't it? And here on the West is not much to complain about this winter.

Also it is true, that the winter in California is almost like summer in Canada... but we all need some challenges. Otherwise everything would be too easy, right?

Actually, the rainfall we were hoping for this winter has turned out to be disappointing. And so far most of it's been more in the central and northern parts of California. While I have no complaints about what the warm weather in L.A. has been doing for my collection since early January, the "big picture" part of me hopes we'll have a bunch of soakers over the next couple of months.

More rain in S. CA starting tonight supposed to last 4 days. Have to get my cactus out of the rain they are already hydrated enough. Everything else loves the rain.
