Having grown up in coastal Texas, and having lived my adult life in California, I have a distorted view of the alleged four seasons.
I've got exactly one tree whose leaves turn red, perhaps in November. The others just turn brown, as they do in Texas. My 8' tall camilia is already forming the buds for its January 2004 blooms. My Tulip Magnolia will start forming buds in December for its February blooms.
We just get "wet" and "dry" for seasons. I drive to the Sierra to visit "winter".
