Rescued

I planted the rescued golden barrel in a prefect spot. He'll be so happy there!  I planted another to keep him company, taking them to the traditional number of 3.

Of course I had to goof something up doing a good deed. I inadvertently stepped on the smallest golden barrel and did some damage, and that one was already having problems with sunburn, I think. But I believe he's a survivor, and I paid my penance sacrifice with a bit of blood.

Here he is, safe and sound.

The back side (south west exposure). I think it's sunburn, but the nursery worker where I bought it said it was a fungal infection. It looks a lot better now since I put those leaves as sun block. The leaves are from the Mexican honeysuckle, justicia spicigera.
