VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

While humans go out to celebrate our various holidays, hummingbirds build nests that cover their little eggs and all but their eyes. While we place decor, wildlife enjoy the sparkle of silvery Desert Mallow blooms and golden Deer Grass seeds. As we concoct beverages to wet our beaks, the birds dance with the raindrops.

As we head into a new year, nature reminds us that a good life can be so simple. Cozy up. Enjoy the rain, cold, and December beauty as it, like everything else, is just a momentary circumstance.

From the FormLA family to yours, we are wishing you the joys of this season and many, many more. Take good care, friends.

Sincerely,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi

Who needs snow when we have these beauties?!

Christmas Berry tends to grab all the holiday attention, yet those who delight in simple winter white will find it covering Manzanita this month.

These little snow-like bells fill its architectural foliage just as hummingbirds enter nesting season. Blooming Now
