Grass and wooden fences...hadn't occurred to me.
I absolutely love AZ's stucco fences!

Gorgeous y.elata.

I'm hoping my mystery yucca with the 3 inches of trunk will end up as elata.
It's getting planted this year in the hottest, driest spot on the property...in H's gravel. :D

I hope it is? They are well worth the wait. Mine is now growing a trunk, and grows faster every year. :P

Sounds like the perfect place for it! Dry and hot!

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.

This one's for Tim, or anyone else. :D
Zoom in on the middle plant and tell me what you think it is? And to the left the big Yucca baccata's or are they Y. arizonica? Same baccata I have at my place.

Hi Aaron,

are those blooms coming from the 'Yucca'? The blooms look like Dasylirion but the leaves look like Yucca??

PS, what was that other Yucca in the previous link?

I looked closer and I think the blooms are coming from plants behind the yuccas, hesperaloe sp? :?

And the other yucca in the previous link...I don't know? Looks like a Mexican sp.? :?

This off topic but I thought I would share.

A guy I work with stays in AZ with his dad in the winter, and this is his dad's place. Look at all the palms he has. I have often drove by this place in envy.

Aaron wow, cool yucca in that first link.

In the second link, saw the stone-dead CIDP and a gorgeous trunked yucca.
couldn't find the W.filifera.

Nice street ... could imagine myself puttering around there.

Still alive?
Looks like it's on its way out, rather than coming back. :lol:
It's seen better days, judging by the huge diameter trunk...should have a lot more height to it.

I love all the gravel landscaping, obviously a necessity there.
A nice diversion from our green/sometimes brown lawns.

Yes, the gravel feels nice and clean when maintained. I like grass as well, but if it is not uniform and green throughout then it can look trashy. :)

I suppose to anyone with a gravel lawn, grass looks good.
And vice versa.

But what a waste of water a grass lawn is.

I really really liked that street...looks very interesting all the way along.

No doubt turf grass has it's place, but in the desert I think it looks best with small portions. Here is a nice grass mix compared to the all turf at the neighbors. :D

Here's what I don't like about turf in the desert, hard too keep uniform. They would have made a real statement if the kept the lawn in the low areas and landscaped the borders and high places. :?

Hope they all come back for that guy, some look stone dead.

Re the last one, :lol: :lol: :lol: yup golf is more popular...I'm always under the trees in the shade looking for my ball. :lol: :lol:
The last thing I'd do is play tennis in AZ in 109F on a paved court. Jeez!
Is that trees growing through the pavement/clay? :lol:

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

I've been looking in El paso Tx with a 2013 street view and even the palms that looked stone dead in 2011 seem to be doing good. Well most. :lol:
What gets me with the 2011 street view in New Mexico, is that even the native barrel cactus(native too that area) are burned very badly or dead.
Must have been much colder than it was in SE AZ, because I did not see any or very little burn on the native barrels there.

That sure was a lot of money spent on tennis courts that no one seems to be using, and yes sure looks like trees growing through the courts. :lol:

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.

I knew someone who went to Mexico for a month in...either 2010 or 2011... and she said it was horribly cold the entire month she was there.
So that's maybe what happened.

Maybe barrels show less damage because they're...well...thicker, bigger?
