Some Like It Cool

Just to illustrate what a mild, cool winter we have had, the foxgloves (digitalis purpurea), that stop blooming as soon as the weather heats up, have not gone out of bloom since I planted them last spring. I guess that's one advantage to this lost summer.

I love foxgloves. They have never faired well in my hot southern garden. This one is great.....

That is impressive to see the foxgloves blooming this late. I was quite surprised yesterday afternoon, when I flew back up here from San Diego, at how thick and prevalent the marine layer was, hugging along the entire California coast. I expected to see sparkling blue waters from the plane, and most of what I saw was fog, all the way to the horizon!
