I thought I'd do a last look at all the yellow blooms on the palo verde trees today. As the days pass, those pretty yellow blooms are falling to the ground and creating lots of 'crunchy' yellow on the ground.
I took an early morning walk at the garden on Sunday and snapped this shot of an agave that is growing along the path that I pictured back in April when the trees formed a tunnel of yellow. Those big branches of the agave can collect quite a lot of fallen flowers.

The first photo is very inviting.
Yes nature gives sometimes a lot of mess around.
Sorry to see them go, but they do make a nice yellow carpet.
As pretty as they are, they can be a bit messy.
I wonder if that helps the agave? Maybe as the leaves break down they give it some fertilizer.
Spring flowers are so short lived. Makes us appreciate them more.
I had actually just found the check mark for 'not spam'. What a pain to have to check every day.
Fine colors.
A pretty mess.
And like the Bottlebrush Tree they can create a dreadful mess.
A lovely mess to see.
Soon the summer heat will be there
Those are attention-getting trees.
