Toomanydogs, There were many people in the IE (Riverside, Corona, Upland, Ontario, etc.) during the 2007 freeze that lost a good portion of the collections. Jack @ Kimi's Plumeria in Corona even lost a bunch of plumies. in the Freeze of 2007 my patch got to 36 degrees. I met with a plumie friend from Riverside in October who told me that during the winter of 2010 and 2011 had a night or 2 of frost and lost several plants, some lost irreplaceable plumies such as Red Dusk and others that are hard to get like Thai peach from Jungle Jacks (the mother tree in Thailand was destroyed so there was only 1 season where the Thai Peach was available.). So if you value your plumies or have rare irreplaceable ones I would put them in your garage or get a green house to store them in during the coldest winter months. In So Cal the coldest months are typically Jan and Feb, so more to come. You may want to watch your plumies also if they were out in the cold air as it may take a week to show signs of damage like cracking and oozing of black fluid, shriveling, etc. I also check Weatehr.com, Accuweather, Weatherbug, Weather Underground for hourly updates during the night to see what my plumie patch temps will be. Usually my forecasts are pretty accurate as the coastal influence and marine layer help to regulate the temps and keep them more Constant. I think the drier air in the IE makes your temps a bit more unpredictable as you can have clean night skies which lets the heat escape. Hope your plumies are ok and that you have a Happy Holidays.

Thank you for the update and I'm glad CORAL is enjoying so much support as a tribute to your son. I'm so sorry you are suffering through this awful thing called grief. Somehow it seems inadequate to call it by a single word when it is so all encompassing ... physically, mentally, emotionally... it's a storm with waves that come unexpectedly and knock you over...it's a hole that aches and seemingly never scabs over...it's an anger...a despair...a monster you can't grasp and can't shake...it's a change that can't be undone, but only dealt with...it's an anger, a doubt, a questioning, a shock that shakes you to your roots and yet it's a background perpetual vibration that permanently alters your experience of life. It's something everyone experiences at some point, and yet each experience is unique. It's something we can't stop, but only get through and somehow work our way to acceptance of what is and will be. Sending you and your DH and your family thoughts of solace, comfort and ease.

Hey Peg,

That wouldn't surprised me one bit if that was Bill!! :) He certainly is a giving and kind hearted person who loves to give to those kids (Sherry's kids)....(actually, all kids young and old..)

As far as i am concerned, he is Santa all year long! Someone just spotted him on his board at the pier!!! ;-)

I bet it was S who took that pic!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone as well.

This thread made me think of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. :)

When I was at big lots 1-2 weeks ago they were playing Christmas songs and this one came on which I was surprised to hear since I haven't heard it anywhere else than on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Laura, thank you so much, that was beautiful. I hope you're well. Lots of good or promising things happened to me this year, so I have a lot to be thankful for, your friendship included!

Kim, my Secret Santa just gave me a blu-ray of NL Christmas Vacation!

I'm waiting to see if if my Hilo Beauty, which is blooming quite a bit, is still blooming for the holidays (I have a Christmas party on Jan 5th I need it to be blooming for). I have it next to a poinsettia - who would have thought it - a plumeria and a poinsettia all with red flowers/leaves at the same time!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. I am so lucky to have found this group. And thank you all for being so welcoming!

Hey Laura....ever try chocolate lava cake? I've had it
at Roy's (Hawaiian fusion cuisine) restaurants. It's a
chocolate cake with a runny chocolate interior. Vanilla
ice cream on the side. Wonderful.
