Spring arriving : Since a long time I went in my garden today (for cutting grass) and I saw that the laurels will have soon some flowers. Bionika |

My pine leaf milkweed. Going to plant it tomorrow. Saw a bush in a xeriscape nursery in town in December and it was still attracting a number of butterflies. Yeah, in December! Figured I better get one since my daughter likes to "tickle" butterflies (go up and attempt to pet them as they are getting nectar from flowers), so the more butterflies, the merrier. |

The lawn is turning a lovely shade of green... but I'm getting really worried about the trees. I can't see even the tiniest leaf buds on any of them! What about the trees where you are? How are they faring? |

The palo verde trees have been in full bloom for a while. Very end of February would be my guess. The blooming cycle is from then to about late June for the late blooming palo verde. Trying to find an image that isn't huge -- ![]() I like to think of them as the Southwest's answer to cherry trees, though most people would probably be reminded more of jacarandas with the clean up that's involved. (Except palo verde, unlike jacaranda, never took the paint off my car.) Not a tree, but my snail vine is bouncing back to life after the week in January we here have referred to as "winter" since that was the only time the low temperatures were below freezing. |

OOH! You have jacarandas where you live? They are so pretty that they almost don't look real! Still no (visible) buds on my yard's big old oak trees. I fear they may be dead - and that would be such a loss! We have 7 or 8 of them and they've always formed a lovely canopy over the yard! Still keeping m fingers crossed... |

I've seen a few jacarandas around town, but not a lot. I've seen a lot more up in Phoenix. It could be that they aren't grown here as much because they don't tolerate freezing and below temperatures all that well. What I do see a lot of here is Desert Willow. It's not an actual willow, just called that because of its willow like leaves. Desert Willow actually belongs to the same tree family as Jacarandas and have the same type of flowers Jacarandas do. ![]() ![]() Not quite the purple crowning glory of the Jacarandas, but still quite pretty. The picture of the tree doesn't quite do Desert Willows justice. If you Google 'Desert Willow', I'm sure you can find better pictures of the trees. BTW, the only thing I've seen kill oak trees out here is lack of water. It might take a bug to do them in at the end, but lack of water is usually what gets them started. |

How lovely! That's a tree I've never heard of before, but will certainly remember it now; thank you! |

Yes, since I allowed him to go outside without a leash at end of Marsh, he likes a lot going in the garden...abd neighbor's gardens. He nearly not play with his aluminium's balls inside the house now; jumping on flies is funnier. When he comes back home he is so tired that he spent all time sleeping! And today he has lost for the fourth time his collar with his name and my phone number. First time a neighbour gave me back the collar found in her garden. Second and third time I found it in my grass. But today the collar has completely disappeared. Fortunately KFC goes back home everyday. Bionika |
