My confused garden!



My pomegrante is flowering!! In a few weeks it should be dormant. All the other pomegrantes in the neighborhood are just about ripe. I think it may be confused because it is close to the brick wall. Maybe heat is radiating off it and throwing off the shrub.

Whatever the reason, this is not nomal. The shrub has flowered three times this year. Once during a freak warm spell in the winter, then again at the end of spring (Santa Ana winds took off all the flowers), and then again this Halloween. Flowered three times, and no fruit. I'll give it a few more years, and if it doesn't figure out the seasons I'm going to replace it.
