Crazy January

Never would've thought dalea would be blooming in January at the oasis. This photo by my son.


Wright's Dalea (Dalea wrightii)

Not to mention all the other great flowers my niece has been photographing lately, such as this Yellow Trumpetflower (Tecoma stans), bleached around the edges, from frost perhaps.


 

 And yesterday she photographed a spring form of Checkered White butterfly. Days are getting longer.



In Alpine I saw the juvenile Allen's Hummingbird again yesterday after not having seen it since mid-December. (First seen mid-November) 



Sure never know what to expect in this part of the country!

My Lion’s Tail and other flowering plants have burst into bloom again here in Austin, go figure! The plants don’t know what to make of climate change.
