As we work through our backlog of non-reported activities, we thought we'd share a quick post on Round One: Battle Heat and Drought.

Given Oklahoma's hot, dry climate during the summer, and our love for modern landscapes, we decided to go with a combination of cacti and succulents. The result? Sheer beauty! There are so many varieties of succulents that I can never remember any of their names (except for maybe chicks and hens), but I love how alien they can look. The ones below remind me of little tentacles, but we spotted a few at the nursery that looked a lot like human organs. Very. Neat.
So why do we say Round One: Battle Heat and Drought? Well, as you may know, Oklahoma suffered one of the hottest, driest summers on record with the majority of June and July being 100* or above. So even though these little beauties are built for arid conditions, even they couldn't survive the summer (except for the star-shaped guy below). Their loss was sufficiently mourned at our house, but we eventually decided we had to move on and replace the little guys. We'll be back with more later this week on the plants currently occupying our planters.
You say that they looked a lot like human organs? Don't try and fool us... We all know that you're growing succulents and kidneys in your backyard!

ReplyDeleteWhen a malfunction occurs some slot machine manufacturers, for engineering functions, 예스카지노 set the reels to stop briefly in a "jackpot" place. When this happens a player may even see the reels momentarily stop at a jackpot alignment after which go into a sluggish spin. This often causes the player to believe a jackpot has been won. In current years slot machine manufacturers have changed the "stop" location to aside from a jackpot alignment to help forestall the misunderstanding.
