Arizona Senna and Solanum
/My daughter sent me senna and solanum pictures. I am appreciating that technology makes it so easy to increase the vicarious experience. I’ve been hearing about these plants since last summer when my son-in-law obtained them for his study of native pollinators and the pictures have taken the experience to a new level!
They have been moving the plants into their apartment during the frosty nights in Tucson this winter. This is quite an undertaking since there are over 20 pots of senna (yellow) and solanum (purple); the pots must fill in almost all the available floor space in their living room. Fortunately it has only been a few nights. And the plants have survived and thrived - blooming continuously.
Enjoy the senna and solanum flowers in the slide show below….little bits of weedy color when seen along the roadsides….cheery in macro photographs.
