Spring Colors
I posted this earlier and all the content and photo disappeared leaving only the title. These simple flowers certainly don't lack for color or design. I was out at the nursery last evening and observed flowers that are richer and more colorful this year than my recollection of previous years. While we are in a drought here in California, someone has to watering these to get them all so prolific.
We are ordered now to cut watering to just 2 days a week and when the heat comes in a couple months, I expect most everything will die away. All over California, lawns are being ripped out and either replaced with artificial turf or plants that require very little water. Median watering on our highways has all but completely stopped. We are going to see a very brown Summer and Fall.
I expect to see more lawns replaced with p-gravel or other type of no maintenance material like is often used in Arizona. Most common interest subdivisions are still not approving the artificial turf but the courts may rule otherwise as the drought continues.
So for now, until the real hot part of Summer comes, we can still enjoy the beautiful flowers even if we have to go to the nurseries to see them.
