Monsoon Miracles
August 19th, 2007 by Rick Wright
The monsoon has worked its wonders in spades this year, bringing to our yard not just great patches of the neighbors’ roofs but also some nice late-season flowers.
The fish hook barrel cactuses are on fire all around the neighborhood, and even the chollas, those delicate spring bloomers, are giving it another go.
Ants, bees, butterflies are all over these new efflorescences, and Costa’s Hummingbirds are enjoying them, too, even though the snazzy colors of the little males don’t show up so well against our blessedly cloudy skies.
