Good morning, people! Another sunny day is underway in Las Vegas Valley. Today’s high temperature will be 105 degrees, and 106 degrees forecast for tomorrow. Welcome to the desert life. Today I’ve pulled several photos of desert foliage from the archive for you. I don’t know the names of many of these so I can’t say but they are wonderful looking plants, and fun to photograph like flower photography. I hope you’ve had a dandy weekend so far, G’day!
Beautiful series, John. Desert plants are fascinating! Stay cool. 🙂

Hi Sandra, thanks! Well… They still look crappy but I’ve fed them some fertiliser and a bit more water the last few days, no change as yet but this will probably take a long time for them to snap back unless they kick the bucket. Meanwhile, the Lantana is popping with growth and color! 😊

The lantana is loving your yard! I’m happy that’s a winner. Some plants, for whatever reason just don’t take well. I hope the palms come around.

It’s not this hot all year thankfully, Anneli! This heat will fall away early next month or so if I recall correctly. That’ll be so nice. 😊

Haha, not really, Anneli. That cold sensation doesn’t last long. Slap a light jacket on, good to go!

I know. We have to adjust to whatever weather we’re dealt – since we can’t control it!

Really nice shots, John. The barrel cactus is one of my favorites!

Thank you! I’m thinking that I should have put some cacti in the backyard instead of those Sago Palms. If they kick the bucket, I’ll try those or maybe a couple more Med Fans. I hope your weekend has been good! 😊🍺
