Our Braziletto, AKA Brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata) foliage turns brilliant colors in the winter. Like many desert-adapted trees, it is a member of the legume family and therefore able to fix and access nitrogen in desert soil. This young tree will be laden with yellow flowers later in the spring.

Winter-flowering yellow and red chuparosa shrubs (Justicia californica) are another great source of winter color, with the added bonus of being an important nectar source for the native Anna’s and Black-Chinned Hummingbirds.

The current exhibition Docents Select VII: Kitchen Sink features artworks selected from the permanent collection of the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, Arizona. Farraday Newsome has these two pieces in the show. They were selected from the permanent collection by Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum docent Jean Sammons.

The Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum writes about this show on their website:

As with most museums, the Mesa Contemporary Arts (MCA) Museum Docents are central to the functionality of the museum. Through their volunteer efforts and assistance, tours are conducted, artwork is researched, special talks are prepared and opening receptions succeed. This exhibition was entirely curated by the MCA Museum Docents and demonstrates some of the research they have conducted on pieces from the permanent collection that center around the kitchen.
