  • Tropicals

    I love tropical plants--the brilliant flowers, colors and luxuriant plant forms. In my dreams I have a large green house filled with bountiful citrus trees, vibrant bougainvillea, fragrant clerodendrum and gorgeous brugmansia.

  • In Praise of Kalanchoe

    You may not know its name, but kalanchoe is everywhere right now. Last week I went to the grocery store, the Home Depot and the local garden center and I saw kalanchoe plants in each place.

  • House Plants

    Now that the garden is somewhat quieter, my thoughts have turned to the state of my house plants. I have quite an array--from a large lemon tree that I have had for more than two decades to a tiny little auricula-type primrose that I bought last spring.
