May Overload
We may be in for a very hot summer. Though overnight showers brought a touch of rain, it has been fairly warm overall with a record high two weekends ago. Forecasts I follow back up my worry - we're getting hotter and this year we could be in for it. So, right now, even as the madness that May always brings for me, I thought it would behoove me to grab a bunch of spring flower pics before the show dwindles. Starting out this tour with an image of the Himalayan mounds, specifically Arctostaphylos pumila , now that it has been freed from a rather prickly Berberis darwinii at its base . Back when I planted these, I gave them plenty of space. Or so I thought. Always learning. It looks better to my eyes, a little cleaned up and able to show off the stars of the show, namely the agave and arctostaphylos.
