An exceptional day in an exceptional season

Well the calla lilies aren't in bloom but this bush certainly is. The alternating heat and rain has been good for a lot of our plants. Not so cold as to kill, not so dry as to leave deeply parched.
When I step out my little cement patio the succulents seem happy.
Given my inclination to big city denial, I don't see the huge buildings our neighbors have built. Instead my optimistic eyes see...

  1. How pretty. What's in the top photo -- a palo verde by any chance? Whatever it is, I want it.

  2. It's not a palo verde. That is just visible in the middle picture. The plant with the yellow buds flower is Australian. Don't tell the folks @ Theodore Payne Foundation. Come on over and pick a bit of it to take to a nursery to get a plant like it.
