AZ, cochise county vacation – Page 7 – Cold Hardy Desert Area – PalmsNorth.com

DesertZone · 2010-05-25T14:55:42Z

I just got back a couple of days ago and have a few pics. I did not take a lot of pics of palms from the warmer places in AZ, just things from Cochise County because that is were my property is and because it is a colder place than most of southern Arizona so it still ranks as a cold-hardy palm place. :wink: Texas Cayon in AZ Dasylirion W. in Willcox AZ. It has to big crowns, but you can only see one "sorry"Pomagranit, in Bisbee Az Yucca rigda, in cochise stronghold park Nolina in Cochice strongholdyucca schottii, at cochise strongholdI will post more later. :D

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.

Yes, obviously the irrigation--even if it was limited--was the "tipping point".

A shame to see some of those magnificent specimens succumb.

Me too. 😆

I had some amazing pics of northern AZ, but I lost them on my camera somehow, very beautiful country in the north. 😀 Reds, pinks, and even yellow rocks, sand, dirt. 😉

Here is a video from the border town about 50 miles south of my place in AZ. This was the storm I could see heading my way while I was on vacation and the reason I left early. Thankful I did not get caught up in that storm. 😉

Great pics Aaron. I never get tired of pics from Arizona. Wow quite the deluge down mainstreet from that storm. Had a chuckle with the two guys with bailing buckets in their front yard.

Goodness, you almost had to swim home. Good thing palms can with stand flooding, they sure are remarkable plants.

I think that was a record rain fall, it was so green when I was down there and grass was growing everywhere. That storm looked light night over Mexico before I left. I knew it going to be bad. 😆

I think most of the palms there were loving the extra water. 😀
