...a bunch of oleaders, yellow bells, a Mexican bird of paradise, two passion flower vines, and a whole bunch of agaves and cacti. A palo verde. Roses. Canna. Mexican fan palms. Mulberry trees. The veggie garden is finished for this year. We just moved two blueberry bushes inside because of the heat. Somehow the raspberries continue to hang on.
