In picture #6 with the Flowering Nolina nelson, all I saw was that fantastic tree trunk on the right: I wanted to give it a hug and stay in it's blessed shade till evening fall.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-69279278466864754322020-08-19T09:33:30.165-07:002020-08-19T09:33:30.165-07:00You are a brave man.

Surprisingly plants are standing up well without irrigation. The Davis gardens look lush and healthy despite your heat waves. Thanks for the webinar tips. Enjoyed the plant hormone talk from the U Davis presenter.luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-65326286837577071032020-08-19T09:29:59.164-07:002020-08-19T09:29:59.164-07:00It didn't look like 102!

Gotta be careful out there, Gerhard! But I have to say I'm glad you toughed it out because there are some beautiful images here of well-suited plants growing in extremely tough conditions. That drimia looks so natural with the low ground covering plants and grasses. And that chunky quiver tree! omg...Denise/agrowingobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811925155960835891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-57484438864588162272020-08-19T08:36:07.145-07:002020-08-19T08:36:07.145-07:00102, that's cool!

I Desert Botanical Garden here should do that, except I don't know if even those plants would be successful here! Thanks for venturing out in the heat!

I do so miss the Davis Arb plant sales. So well organized and I always found something. My fingers are crossed for a spring plant sale. I think you are getting our smoke -I see huge plumes but the breeze is moving east.Thank god it's not too windy.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-49922306421139321262020-08-18T16:19:13.763-07:002020-08-18T16:19:13.763-07:00Oh no, that's scary news about your sister-in-...Oh no, that's scary news about your sister-in-law's place.

If only humans held up to heat like that as well as the plants do! So far, our temperature readings have topped out just under 100F, although our weather station reading shows a heat index of 102. Our air quality is awful due to the fires to the northeast but at least they're not nipping at our backdoor. The Jones Fire has reached within half a mile of my sister-in-law's place in Grass Valley and she's been packed up and ready to evacuate if necessary since yesterday.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
