Amaryllis at my backdoor

[10:21] windrose07: there's something in AZ that just makes me feel like I've been kicked in the head by a mule.
[10:21] cyran0cyr4no: Dust?
[10:21] windrose07: no, something blooming
[10:21] cyran0cyr4no: Aaah. So it's just right now, rather than a general in AZ thing.
[10:22] windrose07: LA and I suspect it was ragweed, as that was the only thing blooming in AZ that wasn't blooming in either NM or TX where I had no problems at all.
[10:22] cyran0cyr4no: Wow. You guys are like super pollen scientists.
[10:22] windrose07: heh
[10:23] cyran0cyr4no: Seriously. It's like an episode of CSI and you're the pollen guys instead of the bug guy. "Well, we know that ragweed wasn't blooming in Texas that week, so the suspect was most likely reacting to its presence in Arizona."
[10:23] windrose07: you should tell LA that, she did most of the work. :)

LOL
I feel the same way. My allergies have been kicking my ass all week in a way they never did in Washington/Oregon. The likely suspects? Maple and Birch, both of which are prolific here, but not as much back home.

I thought ragweed is typically a fall thing?

Says the one who did most of the work...

Beats me. I was basing this information on the Allergy/Pollen info out of my WeatherBug program. It said 'ragweed'. :)

I feel I should caveat...

It's not that ragweed wasn't blooming in NM or TX, but that it was listed in the top three highest pollen counts in Tucson and Tombstone, and wasn't in the top 3 in Texas, when I checked it. :)
