chance and love it. What a nice concept, sharing the gardens.
I'm sending a picture my husband took of ours in the spring,
I've used it for wallpaper, maybe someone else would also
like it. The flowers are Clematis (spelling?) and dragonlady
crossover vine. I hope you can use it. " |

Unique Corkscrew
Willow
( close up )
|
What makes this different from regular corkscrew
willows is that it grows with but one trunk, and it has
long branches that weep to the ground. Regular corkscrews
often grow with more than one trunk, and have branches that
grow upward and do not weep. Please (if possible) ask people
if they have ever seen another tree like this with one trunk,
and weeping branches brushing the ground.
People can email me at fshoward@tir.com

Fritilleria
meleagris (Guinea hen flower) |
Fritilleria meleagris (Guinea hen flower)
is a member of the lilaceae family. The flowers come in
white or that purple color. Both types are spotted. They
are bulbs that need to be planted on their sides (!) ca.
4 in. deep and 3 in. apart. They will multiply readily if
given the right conditions. It likes part-shade. Grows ca.
1 foot tall. Blooms in the spring. Likes moist, humusy (is
this a word?) soil. They are hearty from zone 4 thru 8.
I LOVE them and have them next to my false Solomon seals.
They bloom at about the same time and the contrast is lovely.

This is an individual blossom of the Indian
Paintbrush, the faithful companion of the Texas Bluebonnet.
These bloom together side by side in seas of blue and
red all over the Texas landscape for several weeks between
March and April.

I caught this butterfly resting on a bouganvilla
bloom while on vacation in Monterrey, Mexico. This plant
was huge!!! These gorgeous plants grow in Texas too, but
most of the state can keep it only in containers to keep
them from frost. |

My mother had grown this and I took a picture
of it back the late 50's or early 60's while home on leave
from the Air Force. A very fragrant and beautiful rose. |

Wild Spiderwort |
A couple of months ago I found this beautiful
wild spiderwort growing in our back lawn. I am 68 yrs. old
and getting down on my stomach to get the picture was no
problem but getting back up with nothing to grab onto was
even harder. |
