Winter Color

 Having grown up in Southern California and now living in Arizona, I'm used to year around color. Yet, I know that feeling of traveling to another planet when I make the trek to Los Angeles and the world feels very different. For those of you in cold climates, I'd like to share a little bit of color from my garden. Above is our winter blooming Dawes Aloe in front of my bedroom windows.

 Ice plant
 Fire stick
 Bouganvillea-San Diego Red
 Dawes Aloe
Popcorn plant-rub the leaves and the oil on your fingers smell like popcorn!

  4. I love the various colors if different regions but what I love most is that you showed so many variations of flowers & textures as well. My area isn't so colorful right now with the cold weather, it's something we are not used to locally.
