This one is growing in Mendoza (way different weather and soil than Bs. As. where I live). It seems to do OK despite cold temperatures.

My 3 year old seedling. Funny, it "faints" like this every midday and then perks up when the shade hits it later in the day! It is thriving despite it's silly look here.

still can't get over the attraction for bees... just as flower starts to open, dozens of bees try to get in there all at once.

new growth in early march at end of first branches grown last year. Subsequent branches always die back - sort of a two steps forward, one step back sort of thing
