I planted the seeds (collected last fall) probably in mid Apr, transplanted from cell or plug trays in late May. Right now they are being watered twice daily....

I am looking for some native plants to place between the joints of a flagstone path. Ideally the plants will help keep the temperature down - it can get too...
I don't know which part of the state you are in, Robert. In North Texas, Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) would be one good choice. It's 6" tall, evergreen and...
do you mean Lonicera albiflora? As far as I know it's the only honeysuckle native to the Austin Area. There are a couple more species in the western part...
Lonicera albiflora is what I suspected, but wasn't sure. We have some in stock in 1 gallon at $8.00 each. We have several of these growing on our property...
We've been using it for a couple of years in an area that we're recovering from ligustrum. It's an enthusiastic tree, and I think attractive, with the wafers...
Lisa, It is quite likely that, given your purpose, the city of Austin would look favorably on a request to plant some of their seed on your property. It ...

Sitting at my desk, looking out my window at the turk's cap, chiltepines, Lantana and Sabal minor, I just saw a monarch butterfly. It seems a little early...
I saw a Monarch Wednesday on our Kidneywood. I had to look twice to be sure of what I was seeing. I think its early too, I wonder if the drought is causing...
If it's the drouth, they may stay here longer than usual since we are in wet phase while surrounded by dry areas in all directions. I've seldom seen the...
I am writing from my summer home in Wisconsin. (I winter in the Pineywoods) I think I am noticing signs of an early bird migration up here.  We have had...
As you probably know, most of Texas is in a really bad drouth, at least the equal of the one I grew up, the so-called drouth of the '50's that actually began...

lol I thought I saw one last week (in Austin) but figured it was too early so I must be mis-identifying. These folks are logging a lot of reports, both of...
