                Botanicals
                  this week...  Many who read this magazine live in cold places where they have actual winters.  Not out here.  Azaleas in bloom on a rainy Christmas day in
                  Carlsbad, California, along with a daylily underneath....
                   A few days after Christmas, a "rocket" in a front yard in Beverly Hills, and "Bird of Paradise" in another - and an odd tangerine colored rose in a third...
                   Native
                  items in Franklin Canyon - purple sage, and there's reason when it blooms they call it Cottonwood.  And of course the native grasses where the white duck hides.
