Not much after that storm! But there is one new addition.. I don’t even know where this one came from or what it is. If you recognize it, drop me a line in the comments and let me know. It sure is pretty though. — Weather When Posted –Temperature: 85°F;Humidity: 57%;Heat Index: 87°F;Wind Chill: 85°F;Pressure: […]
This is one of those roses that when it’s good, it’s gorgeous! But when it’s bad, it’s pretty bad. It has a small problem with black spot in my garden. If I can stay ahead of it, it’s better, but it will still get it no matter it seems. But I think this rose, unlike […]
Bouncing Bet, or Soap Wort (Saponaria officianalis), is a fragrant perennial that blooms from late spring all the way until fall. It likes morning sun and afternoon shade. It is drought tolerant, but likes a bit more moisture if it can get it. If it looks like the bloom is petering out, you can cut […]
This has been another crazy week of non-stop activity, obligations, events… No time in the garden and I’m exhausted. I did manage to make a few finds, though. It’s too dark to get pictures now, but I will try to take some this weekend and get them up. OK… so here is this week’s list: […]
Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus) is also called Lavender Cotton and is originally from Europe. It is actually an herb that is evergreen in my garden but would be perennial further north. It’s hard to tell in this picture, but the foliage is actually a silver/grey and the flower and foliage both hold up will for cutting. […]
John and I spent our anniversary together today (or at least a few hours of it) at the Dallas Arboretum. Believe it or not, I had never been there.

Ajania (Chrysanthemum pacifica) is a really neat type of chrysanthemum that is grown for it’s folliage rather than for its flower. It is a low mounding perennial (almost evergreen in my yard) for full sun that is very drought tolerant. It does have small yellow flowers in the late summer summer or early fall, but […]
What a busy, crazy week! I’m so ready for school to be out! My garden NEEDS me. Spring has taken it’s toll. All the rain has made for lots of bugs and mildew, black spot and WEEDS! As much as I love lemon balm, it is going to become a weed if I don’t get […]
Crape Myrtles (Lagerstroemia indica) are slow growing flowering trees or shrubs native to China. They come in all colors… pink, red, white, purple. OK, so there is not yellow, orange or blue there, but that is still an impressive array of colors, don’t you think? And they bloom all summer and on into the fall […]
