I am still watering my sad looking transplanted shrubs.  The rain always seems to be a week away.  The weather channel says it might rain on Saturday.  
When I went out to water this morning I saw the first bloom on my baby Desert Willow.  It is so pretty.  I will take a picture tomorrow if I remember.  That is one tough tree.  I think I did everything wrong when I planted it.  It was over 100 degrees at the time, I didn't dig the hole big enough, I pulled the tree out of the pot and the root ball broke.  The leaves began to curl for the first few days.  I thought it was a goner for sure.  But a week later the leaves uncurled and it began to grow.  Now it is twice the size and there are many blooms.  I am very happy with my $6 tree.
