The early butterfly gets the verbena
The early butterfly gets the verbena
Swallowtails were early at The Garden Guy’s house this year. Thank goodness I had Superbena verbenas in full bloom. It is as if they had been given the task of announcing the arrival of spring and the butterfly season. March 22, I photographed an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on Superbana Royale Chambray verbena. 04/24/2022 05:00 AM

Persian Shield so beautifully exotic: ‘This is the life’
Persian Shield so beautifully exotic: ‘This is the life’
Recently I stumbled across a plant recipe called ‘This is the Life.’ Not only was it a collection of some of my favorite plants, but was like a wake-up call to an old favorite, the Persian Shield. Known botanically as Strobilanthes dyerianus, it is native to Myanmar and has 8-inchlong leaves that are iridescent in shades of purple, lilac and pink with purplemaroon on the undersides. If those colors aren’t awesome enough, the foliage looks as though it has a light coat of silver electroplated to the leaf. 04/17/2022 05:00 AM
