Backyard Buddy Blooms
July 12th, 2010 by BurtonOne of the most famous players in Texas weather lore is the cenizo (Texas Purple Sage,) which blooms vigorously prior to rainfall. It’s the perfect weather forecasting plant!
Local cenizo watchers confirm a near 100% accuracy rate in the past few years, believe it or not.
All last week, blooms appeared and covered “Buddy” in my backyard. Sure enough, several downpours came most days of the week. What a cool summer, and a cool plant!
