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.

Lovely pics Aaron.

Hope that brevifolia still looks like that after this winter.

And the palms...CIDPs (although they're a little blue...hmmm) :cheers:

Darn cold at my place again!

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

Thanks :D

I am sure they brevifolia is fine. :wink:

The palms are P. dactylifera, wild grown. It was a place that they were removing the none native salt cedars, but left the P. dactyliferas that came up from seed. Even though they are not native they are found all over by the river near Yuma. Very cool. :D

Because of the blue color they most likely came from P dacty "medjool" seed. :D
