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 [...]

This House Went Back to the 1850′s
I had the chance to tour a house in Central Texas that went back to the 1850′s and that was located along one of the old Spanish roads. The original walls were two feet thick. They had ‘Red Baron’ peaches, clumps of crinums ready to explode with summer color, and blooming white cemetery iris. What [...]
Found the Keys Next to the Texas Stars and Jonquils

With champagne taste on a beer budget, I rarely get my hands on this flower and have to be content with occasional encounters.

Monday…um…Chores?
It dawned on me once again that my life may look a little odd to an outsider peering in. It’s not every day that your husband responds with… “Go out to the farm on your way to the post office and pick some flowers to arrange here in the cabin.” …after you ask him what [...]
First Blooming Daffodils and Narcissus of the Year
Yesterday I emerged from the cabin for the first time in days. The sickness that had kept me on my back had subsided enough that I felt healthy for a walk on the farm with Rebecca. Rebecca wrote about our journey and made some arrangements for the blog yesterday. I am glad we went on [...]
