https://smallsunnygarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-wildflower-for-wednesday.html
A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. A Wildflower for Wednesday. This has had its influence on me too. I have been known to indulge in the dubious (from a gardening perspective) practice of leaving a wildling to grow "to find out what it is". Generally, it was not something to be recommended for a civilized garden! I am using it as a temporary groundcover in areas wh...

About the Garden - A Small Sunny Garden by Amy Myers
https://www.smallsunnygarden.com/about-the-garden
A Small Sunny Garden. Welcome to the small, sunny garden! It was born into a bare patch of desert dirt back in autumn of 2014. It spills off the edges of our patio and reclaims a bit of the surrounding desert for habitation: for us, for the hummingbirds and bees and butterflies and lizards and toads and, must I admit, rabbits!

After failing miserably to keep up with the tree following meme last year, I am once more setting out to choose and follow a tree month by month with the theme hosted by Squirrelbasket. This time the tree selected is a resident of my own garden. The foliage is beautiful; slender, glossy leaves terminate in a sharp point. Because they grow in very upright clusters, one sees the somewhat paler underside most frequently. The genus was named for French chem...
