Why do you buy your water?
26 Aug, 2012
Because the tap water is hard...and it taste horrible!!! lol! :>)
Some of the plants don't like the tap water either.

Ah, so you buy bottled water or does this area have nice tasting not hard water?
I know what you mean, my aunt who lives in Corfu town usually takes back gallons of water with her.

I buy water from the "Water Lady" (the name of the business)...I've been buying water from her for more than 12 years.
Do you have good soft water?

It's kind of lopsided, though. LOL!

Lol I suppose its some thng different to look at .

Definitely. lol!
I think it may be cut like this on purpose. I see a window there, maybe the owners want to see the street.
20 May, 2017
Yes I did notice the window so perhaps that is why then.
20 May, 2017
Most likely. Although, I would never do this to a tree! lol!

Neither would I would nt plant it there in the first place if I wanted to see put of a window perhaps they are not gardeners knowing how big it would grow.

My feeling is this tree just popped up by itself. This neighborhood is one of the very few neighborhoods in San Diego where this tree naturalizes.

Perhaps the stray seeded it self..

African Tulips trees produce a lot of seeds which fly on the wind. They are very viable if they get enough water.
22 May, 2017
I thought they would being so many around wish some could fly over here ?
22 May, 2017
LOL! Yes, the flowers are very light and sail through the air like a feather. There's hundreds of seeds in a pod.
22 May, 2017
I am surprised the garden nurseries are nt out there collecting all those seeds to make money frim growing and selling them.?
23 May, 2017
me too. lol!
