Not all weeds are noxious.

You'll notice the vegetative growth slowly encrouching on your prized garden plants.  With its opposite, lanceolate leaf arrangement and twining habit, its not hard to notice.  If you let it naturalize until it blooms in a couple weeks, you'll be amazed by its gorgeous purple/pink flower.  


What's in bloom?



Japanese Kerria.  Awesome flourescent green stems with a puffy yellow bloom.  Impressive showing.  

Plant of the Week


The spectacular showing of white blossoms on Bridalwreath Spirea.  Flowers only last a couple weeks but it's practically everywhere right now.

Japanese Maple Keys

Who wouldn't want these decorative red Japanese Maple samaras as a focal point in their garden?
