We do not have the number and duration of cold days here to grow tulips and other flowers like them. And our summers are wet. Many people in Florida say we have a monsoon season. Winters can be sorta dry, or also sorta wet. Usually it rains every time a cool front from the west/northwest comes and runs into the warm air here. It was 85F here today but a cold front is coming through tomorrow and it will rain. Probably our last cold front this year.
