The botanical name for Lion's tail is "Leonotis leonurus".<br /><br />If the weather keeps up like this, I fear I am going to have to plant more cactus!Lee17https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585316725404778916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731563993146062027.post-9514886672654486082009-07-06T17:45:30.354-07:002009-07-06T17:45:30.354-07:00Bonnie,

Worse is that it just has gotten cumulatively worse over this decade. In the 1990s we'd usually only have to deal with heat and drought like this for 6 to 8 weeks in late July and August and then wonderful fall rains would relieve us.<br /><br />If these weather patterns are long term (like the drought in the 1950s) or permanent (a result of global climate change) the water usage for farming and gardening is not going to be sustainable in central Texas.mss @ Zanthan Gardenshttp://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731563993146062027.post-64059492839884608772009-06-17T20:04:58.500-07:002009-06-17T20:04:58.500-07:00I know, this drought thing is downright depressing...I know, this drought thing is downright depressing. The plants aren't growing as they normally would so you don't know what you can attribute to drought and what is a preventable condition.
