Skippy, is this plant hardy in cold climate?

I guess I was editing the details when you added your comment. Don't like the cold.

Not one for the UK then!

Skippy, when you touch the leaves do they close up reacting to your body heat?

Ams, Well, you know i had to go touch the leaves to find out but no, they do not close up.

Ah...there is such a plant at my local Garden Centre with an identical leaf type, I will have to find out the name.

Fabulous!

That's lovely!

Totally unfamilier with this.

Not a grevillia is it. AZ native? I would have so much fun re-tooling my skills if I moved to my own love PORTAL AZ.

Skippy,

Where are your Sagauro pictures! I need to borrow one. You can have any two of mine in excahnge. Due credits being given. I just remembered the plant I chose to be re-incarnated as. It was truth in advertizing. I picked the Saguaro as I can be a prickly sort sometimes.

Oh do pick up a copy of the Austin Lounge Lizards.

Darn, now I need to buy a few more albums. Mine are the real old ones like --. Creatures From the Black Saloon -

Saguaro Was one of my favorites. Do click on this link, it begins with a small clip. The ending was brilliant!

Sorry, I had some beautiful shauaro pictures but when my one of the drives on my computer crashed, the pictures are unavailable until my son finds time to retrieve them. His computer forensics skills are in demand all the time so eventually he will get to my hard drive and its storage...

Nice to have a son like that. I actually have a wonderful cartoon that I worked on, but it is too small to upload and when I resized it. JUNK.

I am heartbroken that an Arizonite of your stature would not have one Saquaro in her closet drawer.

Do check out the Austin Lounge Lizards. You, or your son perhaps might enjoy them. I have their first two albums. They do much to cheer you up on those days we sometimes have.

Do get back to me on that plant.I am interested.

TIA Herb

Bad news. I just had some slides developed that I thought were of Olympic Wild flowers. They were not. Just my common stuff. Why did I ever make slides of them" 14.00 later I am still looking for those other slides. 28.00 more! :-)

I did put up a new story today on hanging drapes.

Actually, sky, this is a Calliandra californica. I don't know a whole lot about plants. I just know that I like some better than others, visually, that is. Right now I am hoping to get a couple of hoops blue spruces to add more of that year round color to my garden.

Oh yes. Calliandra is a wonderful group of plants. I have been away from CA. too long. We used to sell that plant. Many species and hybrids now. I think C. eriophylla is the hardiest. None would make it up here.

I think Miniature Bottlebrush was another common name for it.

Never seen that before Thank you
