The weather is quickly heating up around here, so I thought it might be nice to share a few quick photos before everything turns, well you know, brown and dead.

Later this week I’ll tell you about an experiment I’m in the middle of with my pomegranate blossoms, like the one above, to try to actually get some edible pomegranates from my tree this year.

This is one of the few plants that will still look this good come July and it is my favorite image here. Proving, that I really am a desert girl at heart.

Postscript: In a comment below, Betsy asked for a list of the plants pictured, I’ve not only added that in the comment section in response to her, but also at the end of the post. Thanks for asking Betsy!

All so beautiful. Wish you had put names of all. Didn’t know we could grow hydrangeas here !!

Hi Betsy, what a good idea that would have been! OK, here we go, top to bottom: Yellow Yucca, Pomegranate, Plum and Palo Verde Trees, Euphorbia Rigida, Snapdragon, Sky Flower, Variegated Agave Americana, Potato Vine, Ocotillo, Lavender, Allysum, Pineapple Guava, Hydrangea, Jasmine, Bottle Brush, Mexican Coral Vine, and Snail Vine.

I bought 2 huge hydrangea at Costco for $20 each (I was at the PV store yesterday and saw they have them again) and one died while I was out of town, since I wasn’t there to baby it, the other is thriving … I’m guessing that will only last until the 100’s hit though.
