2020 June 21: Happy Weird Summer in Alamosa!

Below photos: list of the 64 plants blooming today

It's been a crazy season! We still have only had less than 1 inch of precipation this year. I've never seen such repeatedly high winds. Also, we've gone between record highs in May along with a freeze on June 20. Wow!

	Above left: whiskey barrels are starting to look good. Above right: still lots of columbines of many colors. Left: Canada chokecherry tree leaves have turned redish. Pink yarrow and purple Veronica in foreground. Above: Kannah buckwheat planted in 2019 survived our garden unfriendly winter and spring.
