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.

Ah, thanks for this great post, Aaron.
I needed that!

How lovely everything looks with that ironwork as a backdrop.
Good to see the desert bloom. 😀

Tim, what an oasis you've got!

Here's my contribution. A form of Echeveria:

Look forward to seeing everyone else's. :headbang:

Macro shot
Blooms aren't wider than a penny, at best.

Jesse, how in hell do you mow your lawn? 😆

All the pots keep down the growth... the rest you can walk on and keep it flat so it looks cut 😈

Excellent pictures everyone! I now have an excuse to post pictures from my trip to Phoenix, AZ! I'm sorry if I end up posting too many pictures.

Some Washingtonias viewed from the ground on the ASU campus.

The mighty Bismarckia nobilis. (also on the ASU campus) I sure want one of these someday. I saw one for sale in Seattle for $60, but I don't think I could handle one right now.

A patch of Washingtonia seedlings outside a Circle K in Tempe, AZ. I saw seedlings all over the place. They must be an annoying weed down there for sure!
