Hi Jaime! Welcome to the desert heat! We are in for a 10 day doozy!
I'm in northern AZ about an hour from Las Vegas. Our main gardening consists of the main bed, a few fruit trees, grapes, various cacti, and flower beds. If you're looking for flowers, definitely go with lantana. They bloom 9 -10 months of the year and can tolerate the summer months.
Whereabouts are you in Vegas? What are your goals in the plant world?
This thread isn't too active, but the people are welcoming, informed, eager to help, and offer much encouragement!
Again,
Gina
