I purchased this place in 1981 and it has been a work in progress ever since. Some plants given to me, some purchased. We are just coming off a hard freeze followed by a sever drought and it looks like only two of these plants made it this far. honestly, i have seen these for years but never photographed them until my current "mindfulness" stage! rest assured if any new blooms are found I will photograph them!
