Tenochtitlan: In Search of the Signs, Eagle, Cactus, Serpent

in peopleofcolor •  5 years ago 

I just decided against a Russian olive.... my gardener was going to bring me one, once spring would have brought him a nice selection to choose from, but then C-19 happened and why risk catching it off me by passing through my hallway to plant it out back? So I planted Hibiscus instead. They grow them for hedges on Aruba. One cannot fail to make cuttings of them suspended in a bottle, over water, with an aquarium pump in the bottom making it bubble just at its big toe to tantalise it to root. Sounds like a complicated (masculine) contraption for a bit of propagation.

This guy calls them a noxious weed (Russian Olive), but they are lovely shade trees in the desert and often crowd around swimming holes, so I associate them with desert oasis and I do love the smell of them.
Hibiscus will be beautiful and not so difficult to contain--that is if the propagation goes well.

My Lovely NatureWoman,
I only need the ONE hibiscus on my postage stamp of a garden! (Don't encourage him!)
And we are NOT having water pumps set up all over the house. I shall have to put my foot down on some (new) fenceless line on that one!
