Summer 2008

Here are some photos to inaugurate our new blog! We'd like to share our love of gardening and create a forum for practical tips and lessons learned. We'll also talk about gardening books. In our own gardens, we aim to grow plants that produce abundant flowers, need as little water as possible, and are self-perpetuating (either perennials or reseeding annuals).



The above plant is known variously as a Texas Ranger, Texas Sage, or Silverleaf.


These last two pictures are of a trumpet vine.

The taller plant with the predominantly yellow flowers is known as Gaillardia "Oranges and Lemons" (not a Sundancer Daisy as one of our less-experienced contributors initially thought).

The bigger, white-and-yellow flowers appear to be "Becky Daisies," also known as "Shasta Daisies" or ""Becky Shasta" daisies. In fact, they are likely to be this particular variety of the Shasta Daisy.


Finally, this section of the garden contains a variety of plants.
