2005 warm season

A few highlights from 2005

Unknown Hypericum in bloom in Jully 2005

Outstanding substitute for manzanita in the humid east

The bark argues that this is H. lissophloeus but that species has needle-like leaves. I am guessing this is a hybrid of the aforementioned species and one with broad leaves.

October blooming Zauschneria

Blooms later and is more upright than the plant near the Yucca torreyi

Redder than its low growing cousin, not sure of the species.

Echinocereus polyacanthus bluish, lightly spined

This plant elevated in a cluster of rocks

A Beautiful Delosperma from Mesa Gardens
