Can any of them be grown indoors or at least over-wintered inside? I was a zone 10/11 gardener for years but now I'm a zone 6b, freezing winters, gardener. Seeing the plummies makes me really miss CA and those zones even more.
I looked at your photos to see if I could find a favorite. Pfffft ... that's just about next to impossible ... although I did really like New Orleans.
