Thank you!

I was visiting my Grandmother during the nasty rain storms in Southern CA earlier this month, and I couldn't resist photographing her pyracantha in the back yard. The bush is HUGE! It is unfortunate that the berries come in winter, because her turtle (who is sleeping now) thinks they're delicious.

It looks like it's exploding with berries! Poor turtle. Maybe she can freeze them for when the little guy/gal wakes up?

She does that sometimes. I'll have to remind her to take some cuttings for Horace Wink. (Her 75-year-old desert tortoise.)

The bush is about 6-7 feet tall, about 8 feet wide, and is PACKED with berries this year. Absolutely amazing.
