Perennial Foliage For Early Winter
The tree and shrub leaves have drifted over my borders and most perennials in my garden have retreated underground, or into tight rosettes, for the winter. Nevertheless, a jaunt around the garden found several perennials whose leaves are still very much in evidence; aiding the evergreen trees and shrubs in furnishing the early winter garden.

Old Plants Don't Really Die - They Reincarnate.
The rosebush in my back garden is hundreds of years old - yet I only bought it five years ago. In reality, it is a reincarnation of a plant discovered in the 12th century. How often do we stop to realize that when we pass a plant along to friends we are also passing a bit of history, as well as a bit of friendship. The plants we share are like living memorials - so choose your gifts of plants carefully.

Spring - Beauty and Beast - Part 1, Beauty
Spring is my favorite time of year - no question about it - but it's also the most frenzied time of year in my USDA zone 7 garden.
