I purchased two of these this weekend. They are drought resistant, attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Botanical Name: Anigozanthos rufus
Common Name: Kangaroo Paw
Family: Haemodoraceae
Origin:Australia
Plant type: Perennial
Height: 2-4'
Light: full sun
They make great cut flowers and have blue-green foliage. Yay for me!
This coming weekend I'll be searching for Salvia Greggii also known as Autumn Sage in purple, coral or pink, I just haven't decided which color yet.
Rainman has been having a lot of difficulties dealing with JW's death. What's worse is the fact that this is Rainmans second friend to die since December 2005. I am keeping a eye on him and if it becomes necessary I will take him in for counseling. It's hard on anyone to lose two people in such a short time, my heart just breaks for him.
The Padres lost big time to the Colorado Rockies. pfft. They will be back..I just know it! Hey, I believe in positive thinking... Don't look at me that way! :)
Have a safe day!
