Warm winter prompts flowers to bloom in Okanagan - Vernon Morning Star

Vernon resident Brian Sutch captured photos of two primroses struggling back to life on the south-facing side of his Bella Vista home Jan. 5. He calls them the first spring flowers. But Jan. 7 is unusually early for spring, which doesn't actually come into effect for nearly three months (March 20). "It has been quite warm in the Okanagan this season," said Bobby Sekhon, meteorologist with Environment Canada. Systems from the northwest have been bringing some warm air with them, yet no records have been broken in Vernon. Sunday, Feb. 6 was close as the mercury rose to 6.9. But it wasn't enough to shatter the record of 7.2 from 1911. Kelowna, Summerland and Penticton all broke records on Friday, Jan. 4.

Hot Property: A fond farewell

Among readers’ most viewed Homes of the Week from 2015 were a Midcentury Modern manse in Bel-Air, an ocean-view perch in San Pedro and Bella Vista, a Beverly Hills home built for early filmmaker King Vidor. No, we’re not revealing the 2015 favorite here. You’ll have to click in to the story.This house (not the 2015 favorite) at 1514 San Remo Drive, Pacific Palisades, is listed at $11.95 million. (Everett Fenton Gidley)A year’s worth of real estateThe high-water sales of 2015 brought forth plenty of mystery with many of L.A.’s most expensive transactions playing out behind blind trusts and outside the Multiple Listing Service.Topping the charts was Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine’s $60-million purchase of a Malibu compound once owned by actor Richard Gere.The Singleton House, Liongate and Georgia Frontiere’s onetime home in Bel-Air were among the trophy estates to change hands.The Singleton House, built for Teledyne co-founder Henry Singleton, sold this year in Holmby Hills for just under $60 million. (Nick Springett)Time capsuleAmong early Hot Property columns under the Lauren Beale byline was one in 2009 featuring comedian and talk-show host Byron Allen. He had just sold a house in Hollywood Hills for $6.25 million that had sat vacant for three years.Allen had bought the place as a gift for his mother, but she opted for a gated community instead. Timed right before Mother’s Day, the story began: “Perhaps Sunday he'll stick to flowers and chocolate.”What we’re reading— Always one to keep... (Los Angeles Times)
