#Plantstodon #Plants #xeriscape #squirrels #gardening We have (had) climbing roses that have been stripped bare by rock squirrels looking for water. Is there a climbing plant that is squirrel resistant? We replaced the annual flowering plants with catmint or baby rita, which the rock squirrels don't bother at all.

Our irises - originally gifted from our neighbor’s clumps some years ago - are blooming spectacularly thanks to the winter rains. These are the first three to fully open.

Vetch flowering and a driveway in the background, a single coral, violet, and orange bearded iris flower rises from its greenery.
In front of a driveway, a corner of the pale yellow house, and a corner of a green shrub rises a single iris colored coral, violet, and orange.
