• How creating colorful plant combinations can create an impact in the garden

  03-05-2025 15:46 via ocregister.com
  
  Sometimes, the most memorable plant combinations consist of plants that you would not imagine could have such an impact. Individually, they might not be too interesting, but brought together in a garden bed, they leave an indelible impression.
  I saw an example of this the other day. The bed consisted of a variegated Euonymous with foliage that was mostly gold, ordinary zonal or fish geraniums with flowers in fire engine red, and bluish-purple flowered sea lavender (Limonium perezii). Gold and re

  LOS ANGELES — Tuesday night was one to picture, frame, and remember in the Betts household.
  Lauren Betts almost single-handedly took down Cal Poly in a 115-28 shellacking at the hands of No. 4 UCLA at Pauley Pavilion, the senior center recording 20 points and 10 rebounds, one of five Bruins to score in double figures. UCLA was the clear favorite Tuesday – loud 64½-point favorites, in fact – but the memory to savor arrived with 4:14 remaining in the first quarter.

• Angels add relievers Drew Pomeranz, Jordan Romano

  17-12-2025 03:19 via ocregister.com
  
  The Angels added a couple of veterans to their bullpen mix on Tuesday, signing left-hander Drew Pomeranz and right-hander Jordan Romano.
  Pomeranz, who will make $4 million in 2026, is coming off a season in which he posted a 2.17 ERA in 57 games with the Chicago Cubs.
  Romano, who will make $2 million, represents more of a gamble. He was an All-Star reliever in 2022 and 2023, but over the past two seasons he’s posted a 7.83 ERA.
  It continues a trend this winter for the Angels. They have tak
