Everything is blooming–the Palo Verde trees are full of yellow blossoms. Of course, March is a wonderful time to visit Tucson. If you are ever in Tucson, be sure to visit this wonderful place! ![]() This pictures shows a pomegranate, a mesquite and some other flowers in the wildflower garden area. I love the look of this garden path (see below), which is lush and full, despite the heat. I also loved the Barrio Garden with its roses, fig trees, purple heart (the deep purple houseplant-type that grew profusely in the flowerbeds in the house I grew up in), pomegranates, and tombstone roses. I read that is has been grown since “the time of ancient Greece.” (Sunset Western Garden book.) Now that I read this, I see I need to prune it in the fall. I love all the funny names it has too like Wormwood. I am not so great at growing it, but I love its smell and its silver gray color. I don’t usually like Dusty Miller, but I love my Artemisia Powis Castle. I think that’s Dusty Miller, which, I am surprised to learn, is a type of Artemisia. We can grow almost anything.īut here is a shady fountain that they have planted and turned into a flowerbed. That’s what so amazing about the climate here. So many of the plants both inside the 80 degree green house and outside the butterfly house, can grow in San Diego. We really enjoyed the butterfly house, but there was so much more to see. I had some little garden helpers with me on the tour. I see it grows as a perennial here and as an annual other locales. The greenhouse was full of plants that grow in San Diego such as hibiscus and Pentas lanceolata, which was beautiful. Last week I went to the Tucson Botanical Gardens and the butterfly green house. I love visiting other gardens and getting ideas.
