This website is meant to serve as an "idea book" for your yard.

This website is not designed in order to sell plants.  It is meant as a guide to help you choose plants for your landscape.

Most of the species that I have grown are shown under the chapters Annuals; Perennials; Bulbs, Corms, & Rhizomes;  Shrubs, Trees & Vines, and Fruits, Vegetables, & Herbs. 

• 534 different plants, including weeds, are photographed.  Most are species, though some such as roses, are listed by cultivar.
• Plants are also grouped by shade tolerance, salt tolerance, and fragrance.
• Easy Plants shows plants that grow in Zone 8B with minimal care.  I recommend that you start with these plants.
• In the Yard Scenes, each slideshow displays the plants in context.  This might provide some ideas for grouping plants.  To see  what plants bloom  when, check out the Year in Color.
• The Native Plants section shows the plants that were already growing on my land.  In addition, natives that I have planted are indicated in red lettering in Annuals & Perennials; Bulbs, Corms, & Rhizomes; and Shrubs, Trees & Vines.
• The Beginning shows what I started out with in my own yard.   
• I use both native and non-native plants.
• The distinction between  Weeds and Roadside Wildflowers isn't cut and dry.
  
• All the plants shown can grow here in Zone 8B (includes Florida Panhandle).   I grew all the cultivated plants in the photos.
