19 September 2000 Most viburnums have simple, oval or elliptical leaves with fine teeth on the edges. Three species have much different leaves. Two of them are quite similar, except for one odd difference. On a sun-baked corner by a busy highway, I never dreamed I could plant such a prolific garden as the one now bursting along the front sidewalk. Here are six North American wildflowers I have grown, all adapted to well-drained soils.
Spring flowers display the most beautiful assortment of colors.
Most of them are poisonous to protect them from being eaten by animals. Enjoy them in the great outdoors but do not bring them into the house where they will make people sick. A new patch of bare earth - and a promise. Gardens are works in progress, always as much potential as they are actuality. All rights reserved.
