Hello, everyone. There was indeed rain, over several days, and now it's normal June weather with sun.
An unexpected plant came up after the rainy period.
This is a turmeric that I started from a grocery-store tuber. Last year it looked ratty and sad, then it died down after fading for a while. I was about to give up on it, but on feeling in the dirt found a firm tuber with little "eyes" that might grow, so it stayed in its pot, got water up until the rainy spell, and got blown rain from the weather. Lo and behold! A fine leaf came up, then a second one appeared on the stem, and there is a tiny green nose poking up that should become another stem. It looks much better this year. I'm glad I didn't give up too soon.
The crinum bulb clump that was here when we came is also happy about the rainy spell.
Two stems of buds have come up.
I didn't photograph it, but the lemon grass clump has put on a flush of growth and is now over 3 feet tall.
