The guara is native to our part of the Texas Hill Country, where it survives thin soil and long droughts, and deer predation. Yours looks much prettier than the survivors in my yard.

Maybe your gradual fall and then expected winter helps you appreciate the changes. Here it just feels like certain destruction when it happens. Ack!... I'm whining. <br /><br />Thank you... for the beautiful wildflowers you so lovingly admire and so kindly share with us. They are all lovely. Here's to each 15 minutes you can eek out of your day. We are all cheering you on to your complete healing.<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-80240089535792701592010-01-27T13:13:00.524-06:002010-01-27T13:13:00.524-06:00I love the contrast between then and now.
