After a few days at the farm, I received this e-mail from a customer: “The Oxblood bulb I bought from you at the garden conference in Prescott, AZ, 2 years ago has finally bloomed. Gorgeous.” Not long after [...]

West Coast Naked Ladies
I say it up front, because if I just call them surprise lilies, somebody will try to embarrass me in front of more people later by saying “We call those naked ladies!” Yes, they are called that, too, I know. I beat you to the chase and have put it in the title of the [...]
Should I Send the Newsletter Anyways?
I had the most amazing response to my newsletter, and I have a question posted below, but first here is a quick update from Southern Bulb: Last night, the final e-mail I saw before going to bed was that our fall product pages had gone a little haywire (a.k.a. there was no way a customer [...]

The modern windmills kept our attention for several miles, and we have several pictures and videos documenting this part of the trip. For most of our journey, the roadside and farmland [...]

Phlox and Peacocks
On Monday we left the cabin early for a trip to Weatherford to see Clark Gardens. I have been asked to speak there before, and I have accepted, delighted to spend an evening on “the hill” tucked back in to a garden paradise. Of course, I normally talk in the fall, when the Sternbergia are [...]
