Looks like the palms in Abq New Mexico are starting to come back.

Thank goodness those gorgeous big palms are recovering.

I'm really impressed with those agaves and yuccas.
The sotols against the building had it easier, and look great too.

Thanks for the interesting site link, Aaron.

Aaron those are some seriously cold hardy W.filifera. Probably why they plant them instead of W.robusta. It should be interesting to see them in Oct. Let`s hope they don`t have to go through another winter like the last record breaking cold one.

It's good to see some surviving palms in ABQ and other areas close to it. Someone needs to go around and collect seeds

That's great.
I haven't been to Albuquerque but it is at my latitude and MUCH higher in elevation. Seeing palms alive there is inspiring.
