@mayjay Do you mean "saguaro" cactus? I don't think there is a sago cactus. Mine don't have fruit.

Loons at Stormy Lake, WI

@wissox83 I love loons. When I see one, I say in Katherine Hepburn voice, Oh look Norman, the loons!

Your first sentence included:
"...the many sago cactus that I planted..."
and then later, you said palms.So I guess it was inadvertent, but I sure had my Master Gardener wife stumped for awhile when I asked her what the difference was! She says the fruits are little berry-like things. Might be a variety only found here in ante-bellum SC--like so many other things.

@mayjay DUH I just figured out it was my mistake. Sorry for the confusion. I have been working on protesting my taxes

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Yes, been privileged to be on a lake with loons and even northern lights since the early 80's. Hearing the loons and looking at ten quadzillion stars and seeing the northern lights is magical.

Just home from run to town. We saw a lot of these red flowers, known as Indian Blankets, along the right-of-way going and coming. These are in the back yard. Lady Bird
Johnson was instrumental in beautifying the highway systems. From here all the way down to South Padre, these flourish.
I will drink a toast
to Sir David Attenborough tonight. He turned 100 
today 
. I've grown more fond of him as the years have gone by and deeply appreciate all that he has done to awaken our senses when it comes to Life on Earth

Today's photo is a varigated form of the Helianthus annuus "Ring of Fire" (Common Sunflower). It's a striking sunflower variety, with large flowers, 5 inches across, boasting a unique pattern of fiery red and gold petals surrounding a dark center. Ideal for adding bold contrast to gardens, it reaches maturity in about 70-80 days and is a magnet for pollinators. They grow in a raised bed in the corner of my garden.
