Outside the building where I used to work, there was an area of ‘landscaping’ (beds with shrubs). And one of the shrubs was a sage, which had gorgeous blue flowers in summer.

The cool weather this year has cause many flowers and trees to be slow to bloom and leaf. I was glad to see the smoke tree (shrub in our yard) in the front is starting to show leaves.
A favorite shrub to have in the front. We...

Walked around the yard earlier to check for surprises. We got down to 32 degrees F earlier.
The Nandina shrubs in the front are doing well. There are signs of new growth. You see all of the light green leaves? That is new growth...

I wrote about the honeysuckle blooms earlier. @sallypup was asking if this was a bush or a shrub.
It started years ago as a small vine. About 6-7 inches long. Over time, it has surrounded the fence and the holly shrubs next to...

There are four of these Nandina hedges in front of the house, beside the steps. They have matured and seem to be doing well this year.
I can see a little burgundy color mixed in with the green, as the season changes as well....

Had withered and died. The leaves had fallen off, my shrub is bald and turned brown.
I had re pot it from the old flowerpot to a new pot, new soil and compost but it didn't survive. My guess is someone had poisoned my shrub,...

I'm not a Master Gardener. Neither am I an expert at gardening or landscape. Yet, even I know a forsythia is best grown, not as a hedge, but as a free-growing shrub. Oh, to be sure, it should be cut back some every year to get rid...

I just learned about a kind of mimosa tree that grows mostly in the Philipines that has pods that can be used as a moisturizer and skin softener. When I look it up online the picture was very similar to some bushes that grow here...

When I bought my house several years ago, it had only one previous owner... a senior lady who had become wheelchair bound. She was a former avid gardener and missed being able to get outside. She told me about the magnolia she had...
