David said...: Two times in one year...I did not think that was possible. All I can say is this; a garden will always surprise you! Plus, the plants never read gardening books, so they don't know what they can and can't do! LOL
Beautiful!

Ally said...: I've seen several cases of unusual repeat bloomers this year. I love it! It feels like a marvelous bonus. My Texas Senna is putting on it's second show of year and my night blooming cereus have seemingly bloomed non-stop. It's a nice treat.; September 26, 2012 at 1:29 PM
Desert Dweller said...: Each fall in my 20 yrs in Abq, Y. recurvifolia blooms faithfully now, even into Nov. Some are now, in landscapes (and they are way overused here, not looking as good as your's and others I've seen in your area). Maybe repeat flowering in fall is an adaptation to more favorable moisture conditions?

Stunning, the way it's captured at both times of the day!; September 27, 2012 at 11:51 AM
