We need rain here on the Colorado Plateau. No monsoons as of yet. So, I’m hoping Pink Rain Dance’s presence in my garden for the first time in 2023 is a sign from Mother Nature.
I only had 4 new cultivators today but up to almost 30 total. Still only about 50% of the mean for this date. Please check out my Instagram for photos. Cultivators in the order that they appear: Pink Rain Dance, Blackthorn, Wineberry Candy, and Route 66.
My goodness, I can’t believe it’s been 5 days since I posted! Fortunately, I’ve had time to take photos. But, on top of school starting amidst a pandemic, I’m also having a Grave’s flair.
I have had nice bloomers, several with finale blooms this week. It hot, dry, and wildfires rage nearby. I don’t anticipate reblooms outside of maybe my yellow trumpets. I’ll start my improved buried pot project this weekend.
The days are still hot and the monsoons didn’t last long . . . a couple of weeks, at best. I don’t have time to water except on weekends now. We could use the rain. I got a few shots before work today. I am exhausted . . . and it is only the second day of being back at work. My Purple Corn Dancer that is in the Southwest Garden has baby scapes . . . I will have flowers into September.
