Wildflower Database

Found a reference to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in an article about the former first lady who died this week. . . the website includes a searchable Native Plant database.

Flower Arranging

Saw a neat idea in Good Housekeeping (can't find anything to link to at their website): Use a square "vase" to display tulips, utilizing a grid of pretty flat ribbons (attached to the "vase" with double-sided tape) to support the stems.

Mystery Flower

I would be ever so grateful if anyone could help me identify the Mystery Flower that is blooming in my garden. The leaves look similar to gladiola leaves, although smaller, if that helps at all.

Tulip Bulbs

It seems a little odd to be thinking of tulips on a hot August day, but now is the time to order bulbs for fall planting. The pictures at this siteare absolutely gorgeous, no?
