Sorry guys I'ma bit late here. i still do not get updates on anything so i always miss posts, replies etc...I wish I could figure it out!!!! I would love updates.
🙁

Mike, re your missing email notifications of posts, log onto your Profile page, copy 'n paste the URL into a PM to me and I'll see if I can fix it.

We just don't want you to be late for dinner... :blackeye:

Aaron, I'd love one or two Dasylirion wheeleri seeds.

Your trip was over too quickly I bet. 😥

Barb

I have lots, I'll give you a few to try. 😀

I think the trip was just right, however I miss it already. I was so excited to get home and share pics and visit with friends, but now I wish I could go down there and do some landscaping.
I hope to buy a house down there within the next few years, that way I can work around the yard for a week. 😀

I'm also posting pics on my blog so I can post a link of the vacation later. 😀

Thanks, Aaron.

There'll be plenty of landscaping to do, great that you're considering a house there.
It might even have palms and yuccas planted already...then you'll want them moved to a new spot. 😆

Looking forward to seeing your pictures...you have a blog?
Would like to see it.

Glad you're home safely.
The Arizona fires are awful, heading into New Mexico. How sad.

That is so true, I may never be completely satisfied with where ever I live. 😆

I hope to share it soon.

It is very sad, burning lots of good wildlife habitat. 😥

Here is the link to my blog and pics of my vacation.

This is only part 1, I will post the other part today I hope. 😀

Great photos, felt like I was on vacation with you two!
Got a real sense of the communities and what the plants have been through this winter.
Sad to see some areas are almost ghost towns now.

Nice to see the big ole specimens coming back from that horrendous cold.

Bookmarked your blog so I can have a longer look today.

Thanks for that!

Barb

Thanks for looking. 😀

Very nice blog, I bookmarked it also. Thanks for sharing it with us. I'd love to visit AZ someday. I've been to NV and southern CA but never AZ. Love the desert too!!!

Thanks Mike 😀

I also posted the second part to the vacation. 😉

Oh man, Aaron, I'm sooooo sorry your 20+ plants didn't make it.
What a rotten winter for their first attempt too.
I know how much you had your heart set on their survival.

I expected everything to look dry but wow even the desert plants are struggling.
Cool pic of the Tarantula hole...eeeeuuuuwwww!

Seems that plants near a building--apart from maybe getting some care--did better.
And where Opuntia didn't make it, seems older Agaves did very well.

Washies took a hard hit, good to see those monsters coming back.

Lovely seeing all those Bisbee pics, the town looks even busier than the RV-folks' blog over the winter.
Nice historical photos from all the towns.
Loved the converted jail on private land...cool!
Great pics from Tombstone too.

Agree with you...great landscaping around Olive Garden is so much more pleasant than seeing native plants struggle so badly.

Your neighbors must've enjoyed your visit.
I'm sure they'd like you two to move there asap. 😀

Thanks for a great photo essay of your vacation, very enjoyable viewing.

Barb

Thanks Barb for all the nice words about my blog 😀 .

I noticed in the area, most of the palms had no irrigation. The ones that did had a much faster recovery. 😀

great photos Aaron!

Your love of the desert comes through in your blog, Aaron.

most of the palms had no irrigation. The ones that did had a much faster recovery

Wonder if irrigation also made the difference between survival or outright death.

Thanks.

I also wonder if irrigation was part of the survival. As dry as it is there I can't get over the palms that are growing in empty lots year after year without irrigation. I seen some in Phoenix that get no water at all, and a med fan in Willcox that never get exter water that are doing good, but after this cold spell the ones that got irrigation are doing so much better. 🙂
