Well darn, I think we all know Seattle and San Francisco are pretty different (every time I drool over something in Annie's Annuals catalog I force myself to remember this), but I shall have to check out Portuguese plants!
Interesting about Morocco-I have some Iris foetidissima var. lutea that was supposedly collected from the mountains in Morocco.
I think this winter I may spend some time with Koppen. I was trying to work it out on my own which areas of South Africa would be winter-wet and get cold in the winter too, probably they have figured this out already.
I went last weekend to the Chile part of the Arboretum, they have all kinds of neat stuff there, growing out in the open. The Monkey Puzzle tree is from Chile, it grows great here..
