Native Plants in the Gardens

I am a big fan of natives.  Not only are they drought resistant, but they also resist many of the local pests and diseases.  I'm slowly getting them to spread throughout my gardens and eliminating the non-natives that require a lot of maintenance.

Blooming in the garden today are the lanceleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata):



Prairie Verbena (Glandularia bipinnatifida) is taking over the crinum lily bed



Spider lily (Hymenocallis liriosme) blooming in critter pond in the middle of watercress, with primrose behind it (overlook the liner showing)
