Backyard Jungle

 I have a hedge plant in my backyard. It's very dense.


It's called a Red-Tip Photinia and properly growned and cultivated, it could resemble this.


But whoever developed my plot of land just let it grow as a tree.  A somewhat lazy tree, as you can see.


Actually, I rather like it. It seems to typify my attitude toward life these days. Relax. Rest. Take it easy.

But in amongst those leaves it's a more frantic time as new growth is put forth.


It looks a bit cannibalistic, don't you think?


Tendrils, groping, seeking the light. Letting nothing stand in their way.


This one looks like my face this morning. Needing a shave. Guess I'd better quit fooling around and get to it.

    Pho-TIN-ia? Pho-TEEN-ia? The most overused plant in AZ. I bonsai mine so I can see the snakes as they slither through my yard looking for mice and rabbit dens.
