We have had a colder than normal spring so far in Zone 8 (Northern California) and the rain just keeps on coming. But that hasn't stopped the early blooming plants from putting on a show. One of my favorites are the Grevilleas. The Aussie members should be familiar with these. Here is one of my favorites: Grevillea lavandulacea 'Penola' - I love the contrasting silvery gray foliage with the cardinal red clusters of flowers. It blooms for about 4 months.
