Will those bloom only in the spring? Thanks for brightening the day! J-Bar, we'll be having new blossoms through the summer. The fauna and cacti here seem to bloom at different times, giving us poor unfortunates here a riot of colors for the next few months. I personally look forward to when the saguaro bloom. Below is a pic of the saguaro blooming and subsequent fruit behind our house from last year.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 The desert is really in color now with all that's blooming. The white flowers on the saguaro & yucca, and yellow flowers on the palo verde are all in their glory This is the view from the Master Bathroom window. It's what I have to look at when shaving.
J-BAR #18287 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 The azalea by the front porch is still showing off. The rose bush in the backyard likes all the rain we’ve had. And the hibiscus on the deck is starting to get the idea.

Subdeacon Joe Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 I just got back from taking our dog for her mid-morning constitutional. Took a couple of shots.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 I haven't had the greatest luck with flowering shrubs. I planted a beautiful Kabarett Rhododendron a few years ago. The first year it had profuse flowers. This year it has one so far. It looks like this.

Hubby fed everything this year. My notes (I made a spreadsheet) agree with you. He probably used the same fertilizer on everything.
