The Three Amigos

 

 

Those three bushes in our back yard.  Every year I send out pictures of them.  During the summer, they grow back like this.

 

Esperanza.

 

Lantana.

 

And Texas Firebush.

 

Sometimes they even look like this.

 

 

 

 

Every year they get blasted back by sporadic floods and winter cold and they get cut back to practically nothing.

 

Yet they return.

 

Except this year.  The Esperanza and Firebush are making their return.

 

 

 

The Lantana has succumbed.

 

It is no more.  A missing Amigo.
