Goldfish might be ready for shake-n-bake after this weekend's heatwave 😆

Remember the Brahea armata twins? (cold winter test = the little one, warm winter test = the tall one)
Nice and blue up close.
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711281708/" title="029 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="029"></a>

My camera doesn't do the blue color justice!
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711261396/" title="028 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="028"></a>

My little trunking yucca...the trunk had a small crack, but it's healing over:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711289710/" title="026 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="026"></a>

succulent flowers with rosemary plant, see all the little grasses coming up? That's that darn Mexican Feather Grass that has seeded EVERYWHERE!!!!!! 😥
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711293568/" title="025 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="025"></a>

the little sabal mexicana and sabal riverside love the heat:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711257236/" title="024 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="024"></a>

Cocos nucifera, looks so-so this year, now that all the sunburned leaves from last year have fallen off:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711297056/" title="023 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="023"></a>

Dioon spinulosum is finally pushing a spear after having been nearly sunburned to death last year. These MUST be in shade!
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711300368/" title="022 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="022"></a>

The needle palm (from coconut mike) hates the wind as much as my Trachies.
Sorry Mike, I should've taken better care of it:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711303762/" title="020 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="020"></a>

DRUMROLL, ta da!!!!! The planted Trachy is on its sixth leaf and has shot up this year:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711307396/" title="018 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="018"></a>

Its trunk is sure skinny now compared to when it was in a pot for 35+ years 😆 😆
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711330572/" title="008 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="008"></a>

Crowded at its top...nice to be able to stand under it and look UP:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711338092/" title="006 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="006"></a>

The planted Washy filifera is growing slowly, and still shows some fungus damage from winter on some leaves:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711245000/" title="010 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="010"></a>

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711326800/" title="011 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="011"></a>

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711323012/" title="012 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="012"></a>

The planted Washy filibusta is doing better, and had the same winter protection as the W.filifera:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711240902/" title="009 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="009"></a>

One of 3 planted Y.rostrata sapphire skies...loves the heat on the south side of house, under the eave:
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711319422/" title="013 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="013"></a>

Wollemia nobilis FINALLY flushing...
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711350178/" title="003 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="003"></a>

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711236788/" title="002 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="002"></a>

That's it folks, thanks for looking.
Barb

PS...oops, forgot the little P.sylvestris "deglet noor" seedlings (the tall stringy ones nearest), more somewhere else 😐
<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/7711510488/" title="046 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="046"></a>

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 pics, Barb! I'm glad to see that the T. "Tesan" is doing well for you, that might be a good contender to be planted out next to "Big Boy" one day! 😆

Nice update Barb! I think your hubby needs to build you a greenhouse because you have every plant in the world.

Nice to see your Wollemi growing again.

You have an amazing collection of palm trees and other exotic plants! I agree with Tim. You need to get a greenhouse or conservatory for all your plants. 😀

Thanks folks, you're very kind.

Yup...H really should build a GH 🙄 😆 😆
I'll have a better chance just buying a lottery ticket, ha ha.

Re view shots, OK.

Here's some shots of the back / hot desert part of the property (facing south):

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/1973355122/" title="DSC00671 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="DSC00671"></a>

I live on the south slope of this dry rocky mountain:

Facing south, the views are nicer...treed hillsides face north, and huge farms in the valley:

the valley below:

Thanks again, folks.
