Ray's Thought for the Day

Let’s see. What botanical little wonders are doing anything notably cyclic right now that might indicate recognition on the up-comin RGVECB tree calendar?

Those that have started bloomin, recently.

Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii)
Side oats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula)
Annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
Curly mesquite (Hilaria mutica)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) which is totally out of control.
Blue sage (Salvia azurea)
That Chloris I can never remember the name of.

Those that have maturing fruits.

American beautyberry (Callicarpa Americana)
Pecan (Carya illinoiensis)

Also, a rat got away from Lulu the other day, possibly because it was bigger than her. We may need to get some more terriers.
