Not drowning but waving

Calliandra x 'Sierra Starr' at it again with the red blooms. That's Agave murpheyi 'Engard' in the background. #calliandra #fairyduster #agave #inmygarden #patiogarden #nativeplants #southerncalifornia

Everything is crazy busy right now, but in a few weeks I'll be tacking a "re" in front of the just plain "tired," and the pups, the garden, the birds and the blogs will, I hope, be glad to see more of me. I've certainly missed them all. In the meantime, a couple more shots from Instagram.

New growth on (what may or may not be) Cylindropuntia whipplei 'Snow Leopard' -- great little plant from ye olde Mexican Hat Cactus Nursery🌵 #inmygarden #cholla #patiogarden #leafandclay #southerncalifornia #succulents
