When you’re as pretty as Rosa you might understand why she and I may have had a rough start. Rosa (aka Hibiscus rosa-sinensis TradeWinds 'Sunny Wind') is high maintenance! And as she shows today from her container home in the Downtown North Central Foothills, she almost glows when happy.

Not too much sun. Just the right water. And unlike her name there is no interest in wind. Like every good relationship you figure it out. Because you want to. And she always lets you know. 💛 🌺 💛

If you’re tempted to find red yucca blooms more noticeable and exciting than the yellow, don’t give in too easily. With striking blooms and subtle strength, this girl is the confident Yellow Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora 'Yellow'). She doesn’t need to be flashy to know she’s beautiful.

When I was a boy I used to catch grasshoppers in the backyard for fun. Now as a gardener I know how much damage they can do. With those childhood skills I caught these two unwelcome babies ‘hiding out’ on a ruby hibiscus bloom. Together they could strip a plant of leaves in a matter of weeks.

If you happen to notice a cactus with cups on its head you might think it partied too hard on New Years. Probably not what happened. 🧐

Cactus grows the tip and if it gets frostbite it might have trouble in the spring. The ‘cup hats’ are an easy way to give a little protection when temps drop below freezing.

It’s officially baby watching season at Hummer Park! At the base of this potted totem pole cactus a Gambel’s quail has built a nest and is filling it with her eggs. It may be only half full - we’ll be keeping an eye on it for you. 😳
