Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Joshua trees that size don't need any protection, unless it get down like -20f 😀

That's normal for the sp. The black tip is a sharp spine. 😀

Pics from Las Vegas in the Blue Diamond area. I salvaged about 50 seed from a couple of seed pods on one of the trees.
I was surprised how nice and green they were.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

Perfect timing for your trip, Allen.
Man, those are beauties...probably 200 years old?

I have no idea how old they are. There is a couple of miles along Blue Diamond Road that has them about 200' apart on both sides of the Road. They start just on the Las Vegas side of Bonnie Springs Old Nevada and continue on until Red Rock Canyon.
I'm hoping to go back next March around the 25th and see most of the Joshuas in full bloom. It will also be just a little warmer and we will be able to explore both Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire without wearing a light jacket.
The whole area is truly beautiful in the spring.

I wanted to see the desert when visiting Vegas with three friends a few years ago.
None of them are gardeners and I was outvoted... 👿
One of the geology sites that I read regularly reported "some NEW rocks" were being examined after their recent earthquake.
That'd be neat to see as well.

Where are the new rocks? If they are close to Las Vegas, we may be able to see them.

Obviously there was some "uplifting" at/near the fault(s).
I'll see if I can find the geology link again.
It must be so cool for a geology-trained person to know what he's looking at...a rock no-one's ever laid eyes on before.
