What's your favorite 'weed' for eating?
Comments (20)Mustard. I used to think they were too strong and then I found that the taste is much milder if they are picked young. I planted about a dozen 5-6 years ago and they come every year... some of them bolt and seed and birds eat some and drop others in the ground and the cycle continues. I wish other greens were this easy....See MoreBest Weeds for Dried Arrangements?

Comments (37)The first time I saw Tangerine lantana I was a passenger in a car. We were going south at Lithia Springs Road and Highway 60 in Brandon. There is a little grave yard right there. As lantana will, it was growing right at the corner in the sand and blazing heat. Such a color! The last of the bloom is a VERY deep red, red, orange-red. This must have been 30 years ago! I am dam near a native and had never ever seen that color! Just the usual orange and pink varieties. Next time, I saw it in landscape along with the gold lantana ringed around the base of palm trees. Taller tangerine in the center next to the palms with the sprawling gold on the outer ring. Very nice combo. Shortly after that it showed up in the big box stores. I am moving mine from too much shade to the hottest and grittiest part of the yard, just under the mailbox. I looked for a link but none of them do the color justice. Most shown are immature flowers. The color I am speaking of shows up at the end of the bloom cycle....See MoreWhat is your favorite and least favorite flower to grow?
Comments (9)mla20fus, my favorite flowers are perennials, so I don't have to plant them every year. I also love Holihocks, (sorry, every plant needs loved by someone :),especially by an old outhouse or shed. I plant very few annuals, but I truely love breadseed poppy, especially the bright red ones. They bloom with the Shasta Daisy and really make a show. The daisies were all volunteer, but now that I know how they look with my poppies, they can stay. I also plant gypsoia (sp?) and moss rose every year, they too are worth the effort. Are your fall Asters the deep purple ones?...See Moreramboe
