How can you have iris blooming in August?
I had to look up xeriscape . . . so how were these planted so as not to need watering?

June,
I know, right? The desert willow flower always reminds me of orchids. Now they’ll remind me of irises too. 🙂
From arborday.org: Desert-Willow should be grown in full sun and is extremely drought-tolerant. While the trees will grow better with adequate moisture, they will not tolerate over-watering.

I had no idea the desert willow looked so much like a lily. They aren’t even related. 🙂

CeeCee,
I don’t remember ever seeing one until moving to New Mexico. They bloom for several weeks mid-summer and give such a beautiful splash of color! 🙂
