Giant Thevetia (Thevetia thevetiodes) and I at Quail Botanical Gardens

Looks like the drought is over! Green is better than brown. Nice hat!

Well, the drought is officially over; however, it's been super dry...some areas are still a level 2 drought conditions. I hope we receive a lot of rain this year so the drought can really be over here in San Diego.

Yes, I use this hat all the time. With the horrible heat that we've had I need it.

You certainly need more rain . The thevetia is stunning

Yes, we need a lot more rain. There's so many large, old trees dying in Balboa Park. It's so, so sad! :>((

Luckily, Thevetia is very drought tolerant. I have seen some very old ones around die from the extreme six year drought, though.

What a beautiful flowering trèe lovely foliage that looks topcal to nice to see yellow flowers. Its nice to see you Andy and now we can put a face to your name. ☺

Yes, the Giant Thevetia is such a beautiful tropical flowering tree. It's native to southern Mexico.

That's a lovely looking tree!

Nice to meet you! ??

Its big. Berkeley's is good sized,but not that far overhead.

They planted a couple of wine palms too I see next to you.

I would never of thought it was a native to Mexico when I think of Mexivo I think Cacti lol. its watching all those cowboy film s when young and even now ?

Balcony, Thanks! :>))

Stan,

This is actually a smaller tree. I've seen some much larger Thevetia thevetoides around San Diego. Thevetia peruviana is much more common, though. It's planted a lot along the freeways here.

Those are not Chilean wine palms. One is a cycad and the other is a Sabal species. :>))
