Alpine blooms - ready or not

We groaned when we saw the apricot tree breaking out in blooms. A hard freeze is forecast for Wednesday. Same old story. I'm trying to find out what a good species to plant here would be. This Gold Kist didn't produce any fruit last year.


Other stuff blooming is Henbit, Daffodils, Violets, etc.



Tomorrow I plan to go to the oasis and start watching for the first Lucifer Hummingbird arrivals.

  1. The story about apricot trees which I remember from my childhood is that you can count on a crop every 7 years. (Lore from central Texas) They are worth it when they bear!
