Fouquieria diguetii “Baja Ocotillo” When along the coast and inland valleys of Southern CA, it’s actually not hot enough for many Ocotillos to grow. They barely put on an inch or two of growth each year. To the rescue!: The Baja Ocotillo- accustomed to a cooler climate already- it thrives, has brilliant red flowers, and grows abundantly in any of those locales, yet is also good in hot inland deserts as well- from Las Vegas to Palm Springs. Typical Ocotillo growth, except a little bit bushier habit. Can be pruned for a more upright, traditional look. Hardy to teens. Full sun; up to 8’ tall and 4-6’ wide. Type: Cactus and Desert- likes Exposure: Full Sun Height: 8' Width: 4'-6' Hardy to: Teens Blooms: Red/Orange

Hello LinkedIn friends, family, and acquaintances, today is NATIONAL SEASHELL DAY | JUNE 21! On the first day of summer, National Seashell Day reminds us to put our toes in the sand and admire the beauty of seashells. Shellers get ready to shellebrate and start shelling! To those not in the know, shellers are beachcombers who collect seashells by scouring the beaches for the gems left behind by snails and mollusks. National Seashell Day is here to tell you all about it and make sure you check out your local beaches during the prime shelling season. For a sheller, the true tulip or lettered olive is almost more mesmerizing than the ocean sunset. Or maybe it’s the hunt for the rare or the unique specimen. These jewels of the sandy beaches, the king’s crown conch, the apple murex, or even a pear whelk dazzle beachcombers. Their names are as musical and colorful as your adventure will be, so grab your bucket and head out around sunrise or sunset. Seashells are waiting for you! ·        Never collect live shells. When in doubt, always put them gently back in the water. ·        Check local ordinances. Only take a small number. Shells are part of the ecosystem helping to preserve and create the beaches we enjoy visiting. ·        The best time for shelling is one hour before and one hour after low tide. ·        Follow the high tide shell line where the largest waves stop. ·        Watch for full and new moons. They have a higher gravitation pull on the tide and reveal more seashells. ·        Storms churn up the ocean floor sending more shells to the surface and the shore for collection. #NationalSeashellDay #DallasHarrisTips

🌼 Spring facts 📅 Spring can start at different times for everyone, depending on whether you look at the calendar, the weather, or nature itself. 🌿 Unexpected Snow: Believe it or not, you're more likely to experience snow in March than in December! Spring can still surprise us with a blanket of white. 🌸 Spring is deemed to start at the Vernal Equinox (20 March)  when an equal measure of daylight and darkness, symbolises perfect balance and new beginnings, much like the fresh start a new home offers. 🌦 Spring weather can be full of surprises, switching quickly from sunny to rainy. It's all part of the season's charm! 🏡 Spring is all about fresh starts, like blooming flowers and new leaves. It's a perfect time to think about new beginnings, maybe even with a new home! . . #landlordsuk #privaterentalsector #landlordlegislation #lettings #tenants #rentingintheUK #uklandlords #rightorent #buildtorent

Your ultimate guide to winter in the South West. Because, where else would you rather be?

Did you know this year the winter solstice took place today, at 3:27am GMT? It occurs every year in December and marks the 24 hour period with the fewest hours of daylight of the year. Which is why it is known as the shortest day of the year or the longest night of the year. The winter solstice occurs at the minimum point for the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun is lowest in the sky. This day has been recognised by holidays and festivals in many cultures around the world. After Winter Solstice the days start to get longer and the nights shorter. The number of daylight hours peaks at the Summer Solstice. #StormProcurement #WinterSolstice #FestiveSeason
