We’re spoiled on the California coast with year-round gardening. The rainy season has slowly begun, and we’re heading into our winter growing season. Cymbidium<\/a> flower spikes are sprouting. Masdevallias<\/a> and other pleurothallids<\/a> are reveling in the cool conditions. The evidence is here in the brilliant colors from our garden. These cool-growers<\/a> flourish despite pests and strong winds. Scratches or blemishes on the flowers are badges of toughness.<\/p>\n

There are also non-orchids pictured below: a fuchsia<\/a>, and a new addition to our garden, a splendid passionflower. It’s started vining around its trellis, and has popped open a few elaborate, fragrant blossoms. I’m looking forward to many more.<\/p>\n
