I don't disagree with you either, William. There are just so many different climates and I gave an initial answer with what is true for me.
Talking about our climate, it's gone mad: last week we had max. temperatures ranging between 26 and 29°C. Since last weekend we are back to 'normal': it's colder (back to heating) and humid but so far we have barely over 50% of a normal year's average rain.
My L.a. hybrids are emerging strongly. Even an oriental hybrid (white) has emerged!
