She is the organizer of several national touring exhibitions as well as author of numerous publications: biographies that chart the lives and work of contemporary designers and craft artists; and survey books that chronicle major movements in the field. Most recently she received the American Ceramic Circle Book Award for Ralph Bacerra: Exquisite Beauty. Currently she is a contributing writer to Ornament Magazine, Mentor Faculty of Otis College of Art and Design, and Adjunct Curator of the American Museum of Ceramic Art (California). https://www.jolauria.com

We are enamored with our pretty calamondin shrub, also known as Philippine lime or calamansi (x Citrofortunella microcarpa). A hybrid native to the Philippines, southern China, Taiwan, Borneo, and Sulawesi, it produces a profusion of tart, ping-pong ball sized citrus. The entire fruit is edible, but each has a significant number of seeds. Lately we’ve been chopping them, peel and all (after first de-seeding), and including them in black bean, sweet potato, and red cabbage burritos. Such a different flavor than the usual Sonoran taste! The combo makes us think of the Caribbean or  southeast Asia. The large, cold hardy shrub is a reliable producer of the small fruits every May, making it a late-season citrus here in the desert.

We see many of these compact, side-entrance verdin nests tucked into the forked branches of our palo verde trees. They are often constructed on the north side of the tree, giving the nest a little shade. The verdin, a Sonoran Desert native, is a diminutive bird that eats insects, spiders, native fruits, and a little nectar.
