Hellebores from Oklahoma Gardener
Below is an article I wrote for Oklahoma Gardener in May, 2010, about hellebores. I thought you might enjoy it. The photos are from 2010 through 2012.

Back from Seattle and the Northwest Flower and Garden Show
Oh, what a show! There were so many fine speakers at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. I wish I could’ve heard more of them speak, but rushing around is the watchword at the show. Plus, there are the beautiful gardens to ponder and see, and oh, . . . the marketplace. Just check out [...]

What to buy your favorite rose gardener for Valentine’s Day
Bill and I were discussing romance this morning, and he asked me what I thought was romantic. You know I love roses, but not a icky, chemical-laden bouquet with no scent. Thinking about traditional Valentine’s Day gifts, reminded me that it’s also a great time to compile a list of gifts for rose gardeners. Tools [...]
