Z 8b, with all tropicals continuing, some just beginning to bloom!
morning glories, etc.  My camellias have been in bloom for a MONTH now.
Very weird combination bouquets I take to work.  In for a chilly week
but no sign of first frost yet.  Pink cuphea really shining -- a very
nice plant -- kinda like the cigar Cuphea but a light pink.

Uh, I chill tulips, and most daffs to be safe, but I didn't know of ANY
chill requirements for alliums, even the drumstick giant kind.  Some
irises, notably the reticulatas, can use some chill, but ALLIUMS?
