Karen,
The book you are asking about is the Sunset National Garden Book.
Last "spring" it was available at Walden Books. This is an excellent book
that shows detailed zone maps and is a good reference for both annuals and
perennials. This also includes fruits and vegetables. It looks like you
are probably in Sunset Zone 41, possible 43 depending on your exact
location.
Here in Florida, the "boundary" between Sunset Zones 26 and 28 is
about the same as the "boundary" between USDA Zones 8 and 9, thus is why I
sign of the way I do at the end of this message, since I am so close to the
"boundary." Also compounding matters is the fact that I am located in
hills, which creates a separate climate pattern.
Thinking Florida, the Dogwoods are in full bloom now. The wild
Blackberries are starting to bloom. The neighbor's Wisteria is blooming
too.
