		<description><![CDATA[My next door neighbor, who is very knowledgeable about native Texas plants, spotted a very rare plant on his property recently and invited me over to see it. The plant is a Spiked Crested Coralroot Orchid (Hexalectris spicata). I have never heard of this plant, nor seen it anywhere else. It is very unusual and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We planted the first plants in the courtyard raised beds late last winter, so this is the first real spring for them. I am watching with great interest to see when each plant begins to bloom as I have tried to group plants according to sun requirements, complimentary color and form characteristics, water needs, and I also want continuous blooming from early spring to late fall. So far I am happy with how the courtyard gardens are progressing. The most prolific bloomer in the courtyard at the moment is the pink Laura Bush petunia, which has been blooming since late February, and is starting to choke out the Texas Sotol cactus. I'm going to have to cut it back soon so as not to lose the cactus.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I inherited this plant from a friend who moved from the area a couple of years ago, and I had not identified it until now. I haven't grown many lilies or irises in my life, so I wasn't really sure if this plant was an iris or a lily. I took some close ups of the blooms friday and googled 'orange lily' and looked through the images until I found the one that matched my plant. It turns out that this plant is actually an iris that has been classified as a lily. The botanical name is Belamcanda chinensis, and the common name most often used is blackberry lily because of the black seed clusters that it produces in the fall. According to the <a href="http://www.hort.wisc.edu/mastergardener/Features/flowers/Belamcanda/Belamcanda_chinensis.htm">Univ of Wisconsin horticultural site</a>, this plant can be easily started from seed, so I think I will try to cultivate more of them this winter in the greenhouse. ]]></description>

As I mentioned in a <a href="http://lostvalleygardens.com/LVGblog/2008/06/04/western-tiger-swallowtail-butterfly/">post a few weeks ago</a>, we haven't had many butterflies this year, but the few that we have had have been large swallowtails.]]></description>

So with the help of my other half, Ron, doing most of the heavy lifting, I doubled the area of the Zen shade garden, built a higher retaining wall, and backed the bed with a bamboo curtain to hide the propane tank.]]></description>
