No rain and hot weather, Two big fries north of Phoenix and a fire just south of us at Bisbee plus many small fires, all over Arizona.
This weekend we will be having Dry Thunderstorms to the east. This is a thunderstorm that produces thunder and lightning when the precipitation evaporates before reaching the ground. Dry Lightning strikes are major causes of many wildfires.This will be a bad weekend.
So it starts again much too early with no rain.
Finally planted some Amaryllis bulbs (from the posh Garden Shop) that I have had since November. They are growing like crazy.
We had no wildflowers this spring but our Cactus Blooms are fabulous.
My sweet Ba Boo !

DeleteCactus flowers are some of the most exquisite flowers I've ever seen. We don't get many of the really dramatic ones on the terrace. Had them in our garden in San Diego and we'd get up in the middle of the night to see some of the big blooms that didn't last until morning. Amazing.
