This is a rambling episode about the summer monsoon in the borderlands of southeastern Arizona. I know that I’ve rambled on like this for many years when it comes to summer monsoon and its affects on our desert plants and I think I could have kept jabbering for several more minutes about cool plants found in the rocky terrain of the Mule Mountains. Luckily for you I stopped, but wow, monsoon moisture is magical in the Mules!
The photos are Sue Carnahan’s and taken from the marvelous site SEINet. I thank her.
Mister Mesquitey tip toes out of work and gets in some botanizing on a micro-vacation in the Dragoon Mountains. Mexican Passionflower is almost always...
Petey says it is the year of the Desert Cottontail and tells us all about the furry little rascals that breed like rabbits.
Petey has a new wildflower book and likes it so much that he is probably reading it under the covers at night. Oh dear....
