Growing

I've been trying to find a place to order some little citrus trees that are cold hardy. I have a whole list of names of some, but no place that ships to TX. I might have to get creative, but I'm determined. I found some that are hardy down to 8° (Changshi Tangarine). That ought to do fine at the oasis. If we get really cold weather I can cover it during a blue norther. Just have to find a place in TX that sells them.

I'm growing some dark purple Desert Willows from seeds that I hope will thrive in my hummingbird garden, along with the Woolly Butterfly bush I bought. On the left side of this tray of desert willow seedlings is a cutting from a Butterfly bush. I heard they're easy to grow from cuttings. and this one seems to be fine.

 My hoptree (citrus family) is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. To be continued...
