Between yesterday (Labor Day) and today, we're having two of the hottest days of this summer. And, it's miserably humid, too. You'd never know autumn's coming on around here unless you look at the flowering dogwoods, whose leaves are deep magenta right now. It's amazing how the ocotillo leaves yellow-up as depicted your first image; it wasn't that long ago that you were talking about how the leaves were just beginning to emerge.
I hate to see the ocotillo leaves already turning yellow.
Scott and Dr. K:
I was surprised to see just how many Ocotillos were bearing yellow leaves. As you said, Scott, I've just been talking about how green they've been. We're supposed to get some rain later this week, but I think it's too late for them to put on the greenery again.
