A rainy year will be good for the Tropicals/Trachys...they have been in limbo for the last 3 years-
pretty severe drought here the past few years...this year looks quite different though.

Great pics Jim.
That's quite the tropical downpour.

The cactus garden looks phenomenal.

Thanks!

Should be a lot of interesting flowers if it is not to wet.

Probably see this once a month to every other month during the
warm season here....maybe saw 4 rainfalls like this in the last couple years=very dry.

You know your dry when you get an inch of rain and 2 days later,there is no trace.

Yeah, I swear it evaporates here before it even soaks into that hot ground.

The air- the plants,the ground,the roots....everything is so thirsty in a drought!

Jim,
You've got a heat wave heading your way, so enjoy the water while you've got it.
