Our seasons may be opposite, but our climates and challenges are very similar. We've had an amazing amount of rain so far this summer, but that could be followed even today by a long dry spell. At least I have plenty of rainwater collected for watering.

I should try roasting some roots for "coffee" this year. <br /><br />tpals, it's a very pretty tree but a lot of folks don't like it because it's messy when the blooms shed and it tends to be invasive. Ours was just here. One site I looked at said it was imported from Asia, another said it is native to South and Central America. What I just learned from looking it up, is that it has medicinal qualities and has been used in traditional Chinese and ancient Mayan medicine. That's good to know!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-86324396926654303512018-06-28T05:38:53.000-04:002018-06-28T05:38:53.000-04:00I've never seen mimosa before; very pretty.I've never seen mimosa before; very pretty.tpalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646231041413714929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-37102572810476879082018-06-28T00:54:36.399-04:002018-06-28T00:54:36.399-04:00Wonderful blooms Leigh.
