                  Tips from the Garden

                  Texas Mountain Laurel from TexasButterflyRanch.com

                  "The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size."  -- Gertrude S. Wister –

                  Spring arrives here on March 19, giving us a few more minutes of daylight each day to work in our gardens. South Central Texas is already showing its spring colors as yellow, lavender, and deep purple flowers, red buds, white blossoms, and a touch of orange begin to appear on bushes, trees, and vines. Use one of the upcoming delightful afternoons to visit a plant store and select some of the colorful spring blooming plants for your house, patio, or yard.  Read more HERE

                  Focus on a Native: Cenizo

                  Cenizo, also known as Texas Sage, is a drought tolerant evergreen that grows well in the Texas Hill Country. After a good rain, it explodes with hundreds of small purple flowers. This shrub is frequently used in xeriscape flowerbeds as an ornamental and also as a hedge or screen. More HERE.
