What a nice lookin place to live. Mountains, desert, a giant salt lake, the flats.........
I had to ask cause a)Your growing CIDP and b)the houses look exactly like my area in Calgary when I lived there.
Nice to see you managed to get that Chammie to branch out. They look bad ass when they get like that!

That CIDP takes my breath away.
Love that C.humilis!
Your cold and wet spring hasn't hurt anything obviously.
Nice update.

They love it cool and wet...(versus hot and dry)

Yes agree those are great Trachy temps.
Mine is planted on the East side of house, gets sun only till noon.
But this year we haven't had more than a few days of heat.
Back to overcast and coolish the last two weeks.
Hope you get an extended and warm Fall to make up for the crappy spring.

Awesome palms. 😯

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.

Great yard! Love the Pheonix!! The Yucca is great......must be one of those rostrata x rigida types since it has 'U' shaped leaves. Let us know if that form is hardy in your area. Rigida is less hardy than rostrata (rigida is more of a zone 8 plant where rostrata is more like a zone 6 plant). I hope yours has the rostrata cold hardy genes!

Trachys need +70F temps to recover quickly.
Our spring was chilly here too.
April was almost 10F cooler than last April,
this put the Trachy recovery a month behind last spring.
