This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

A Reblooming Surprise
Here it is the end of August and the Watsonia is coming into full bloom! This lovely corm from South Africa usually blooms at the end of Spring and then goes pretty much dormant throughout the summer. This one must be a bit confused!
I have had a watsonia for at least 18 years and it has never bloomed it comes up with the green leaves and all that but it never blooms...I wonder why? Not enough sun ...to much?? You are lucky to have it blooming now.

What a beautiful mistake.
