We’re working on building a flowers category here, where we’ll present some “fresh” flowers for you on occasion. Be sure to check for the “Fantastic Flowers” category from time to time. Surveys show that flowers keep us motivated, mentally in tune and happy.  (To the left is my photo of fresh Ginger, taken at the L.A. Flower Market in February ‘09.)

Excellent! You found the Southern California history blog with a focus on flowers.  You’ve caught us at the very modest start of what we’re sure will be a fascinating journey. So come along and enjoy the ride with us… explore the categories, post comments, get involved and let us hear from you!
