I have finally embraced the fact that Southern California is dry/semi-arid. This has opened the door to interesting landscape possibilities and plant discoveries. My favorites are succulents and sub-tropical natives. These are my ramblings as I explore my new obsessions!

Haemanthus coccineus
I've always wanted one of these as I have several H. albiflos in my garden
and they do very well. I assumed this would be just as easy to care for, but I happened to encounter an "expert" in SA bulbs at the sale and he said this species is a little more difficult to grow. Luckily, I got a few pointers!
