Name This Flower
This pretty Spring bloom is grown from a bulb, and is often thought of as one of the first signs of Spring. Can you tell me what this flower is called? (Hint: Part of its name has something to do with a common weather feature of Winter.)
Name This Flower
This thistle-like flower is drought tolerant, deer-resistant, and loved by bees, butterflies, and birds. Sounds perfect for anyone's flower garden!
Do You Have Roses in Your Garden?
Roses add elegance and color to any garden space. While many modern-day cut rose varieties are bred for looks rather than scent, my favorites are the old, fragrant varieties. They may not have a perfect appearance, but they smell wonderful.
How-To: Transplanting For Beginners
While I've offered you plenty of advice on gardening, some of you may still have some questions on where to start. So, I thought I'd give you a very basic, straightforward tutorial on transplanting a flower or bush from a plastic pot to a garden spot. If you've been intimidated by advanced gardening techniques, now's the chance to learn the ropes.
Midday Muse: Everblooming California
Since I grew up in the Midwest, I associate mid-September with falling leaves, chilly temperatures, and apple picking. However, here in California, where I've lived for seven years, I'm still getting used to the concept of mild seasons. As if to prove this to me, my rosebushes, which were just blooming back in May, are back in full yellow-and-red splendor again.

Did you know that every year about 80 million tons of plastic end up needing to be recycled? Much of this is thrown away, which is bad news for the environment. At my house, I have a stack of plastic garden pots that have been gathering over time.
Name This Flower
I'm classier by the dozen (though not necessarily cheaper), and come in a dizzying array of colors and varieties. Some cities have entire public gardens devoted to little old me.
Midday Muse: Autumn Flora
German photographer Janne Peters certainly has an eye for capturing natural beauty. When I first stumbled upon her photos, through An Indian Summer, I literally caught my breath. And the autumnal colors of this lone bloom are making me itchy to go and buy some autumn bouquets immediately.
Su Casa: A Flower-Filled Porch
Ah, if only we were all lucky enough to have a flower display as lovely as the one created by Zoe Loves Doug. Until then, at least we can admire her handiwork in today's Su Casa. (Want to share your photos?
Planting Perennials For Your Fall Garden
I named autumn perennials one of my must-haves for September. After all, just because summer is fading fast doesn't mean you can't enjoy gazing at a colorful flower garden for a few more months.
In fact, late summer / early fall is the ideal time to plant flowers that will bloom into the cold season.
