I've got this native bush growing in the front side of the yard, Netleaf Forestiera, kin to Elbowbush. It takes up space, nothing showy about it, but I've resisted taking it out for one reason. In late winter, it blooms, little tiny blooms. And the nectar-hungry insects are happy to see ANYTHING blooming like that! A Red Admiral, nectaring on it today! Soon, the Arizona Ash and the Agarita will be blooming.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
