After visiting England with The Bulb Hunter and Bill Welch last May, I just can’t look at wisteria without remembering England. In East Texas scads and scads of beautiful wisteria is in bloom. Of course, here it is found sprawling in amongst trees beside the highways and occasionally tangled up in a tree in someone’s [...]

The View from Sissinghurst Castle in England
I stumbled across these photos in our archives the other day and thought they were too stunning to keep all to myself! Last year Dr. Bill Welch and The Bulb Hunter led a garden tour in England and on Jersey Island. Sissinghurst Castle Garden was most emphatically one of the grandest locations visited on the [...]
A Love Affair
My love affair with a particular flower has been going on for several years now. With champagne taste on a beer budget, I rarely get my hands on this flower and have to be content with occasional encounters.

This left us stuck in Fort Worth 5 o’clock traffic just before the exit leading to downtown. We did what any young couple would do [...]

Surely someone was desperately needed to collect money during book sales, capture video and take pictures, wander the streets of Fredericksburg, lounge in the hotel room… What a delight it was [...]
Little Red Cabin Fever
Spending this week bound by the cedar lined walls of the red cabin has gotten a little old. I am ready for a Starbucks, a Target sign, or even a McDonalds, ok not really a McDonalds, but you get the point. What does one do on a Friday, snowed in with plenty of paperwork to [...]
