As I've mentioned before, I have a fascination with desert trees and shrubs so have planted a few in our yard. This Huisache is the first to come into bloom for the spring and though it's not nearly in full bloom yet, I thought since we are due for hard freezes the next two nights, I'd better snap a pic before all the flowers get froze off. This shrub/tree is so aromatic they use the flowers for perfume production and when in full bloom, the plants smell is almost overpowering. Couple of pics......Mel
Got to watch out for this plant, very nasty thorns and lots of them.
Closer look at the flowers which are about 1/2 at largest. Wind is blowing hard this afternoon so pic is a bit out of focus.
