That's sooooo beautiful, Tim.
Glad it made it through your winter.

Will you prune off some of the magnolia leaves that might interfere with it this year?

Always a good feeling to pull off the winter protection. I only have a few left to remove, the last are coming off next week. Some things like the ocotillo, some agave etc. 😉

The rostrata looks great. 😀

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.

Jesse, both the rostrata and Mag are fine......just that the Mag is getting too large and shading the sun loving Y. rostrata. 😥

Andy, no damage on the rostrata leaves (top growth).

Jim, good luck with more snow......they are predicting the storm to go south of us......not much precipitation at all just a few snow showers.

Aaron, do you think your Ocotillo made it through this winter?

I always "fall" for that photo angle too Andy.
That "damage" is the tree in the neighbor's yard 😆

I'm not sure? I do know after the cold let up it was bubbling out liquid. But now it looks like some of it my still be alive? I will know better after I remove the wrap. 🙂
