Wildflowers attract butterflies and honeybees, and can be a beautiful and delicate addition to your yard.

Honeybees are facing malnutrition and need the pollen from many plants in order to survive as a species. Honeybee pollination is crucial to the production of a large portion of the world's food supply

Last night's freeze

Last night, temperatures here dipped below freezing. I had brought some plants in containers indoors, and had covered other plants that were at risk with cotton sheets that we use for that purpose and as drop cloths when doing home improvement projects. My garden is rather diverse in the number of species, and I am something of a collector of various types of plants. Since I could not cover everything, I attempted to save at least one frost-susceptible plant of each species that I have. I did no… Continue

Florida friendly Irises and iris look alikes

The blackberry lily or leopard lily, otherwise known as freckleface is really an orange iris that will grow in Florida but is not a native plant. I am growing these from seeds.

The Spanish iris will grow in Florida, but is from the Mediterranean area. Here is a picture of two blooms on my plant.

Nice photography! I enjoy taking pictures of plants. Although, I have an assortment of cameras, I find it adequate to just take a picture with the cell phone. I do, however, use 2 different focal length lenses, one of which is placed over the cell phone's lens that allow for a magnified view of a flower or leaf structure. It must be nice to live in Florida. Such a variety of beautiful plants would grow well there. I see from your blog that you raise zucchini and other vegetables.
I used a solar oven today to cook zucchini, broccoli, and onions in a 1 liter pot and a small amount of rice in a 1/2 liter pot. The sun was shining all day long and we even had a high in the mid 60's. Broccoli is well suited for solar ovens.
The stems cook to tender perfection and the fragile tops are in perfect condition after cooking in the low temperature of the solar oven.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. Your pictures are great. It's wonderful that your neighborhood has a butterfly garden.

Hi Stephanie, Whenever I do a mailing I always use photos of the pieces that I am selling. When customers come to a show I love watching them say "Look! That's the piece in the postcard!" It seems to add a bit of "celebrity" status to my pieces making them more desirable and sort of burning the business name into their minds. Also, if someone is interested in a piece but is still on the fence about buying it I give them a postcard or a photo of the piece (with contact information on the back) to keep as a reminder. After giving out a postcard a customer came back about a year later to buy the actual piece. His wife said that he was drooling over the postcard which they had stuck on their refrigerator for a year. Advertising and marketing is a strange field! Do whatever works!

Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your note. I do a bit of advertising with note cards and postcards for the Lakeside Art & Antiques business. There was a great little article about postcard design in Deliver magazine (Vol. 4, Issue 4, Sept 08) that you might enjoy. I'll see if I can find it on line for you. Thanks for looking and I'll keep you in mind when I need blank note cards. All the Best, Chris Madison Lakeside Art & Antiques

What Does Going Green Mean?

Every day in the media, we see something about going green. Whether it is a business that has declared that it is going green, an environmental group telling us that we should be going green, or some product that uses the term going green to hawk their wares, green is definitely the in thing these days. But what does going green really mean?

Organize Your Photos Into Albums With Custom Photobooks

It seems like we are always taking pictures nowadays. Whether it’s a birthday party, a holiday, or just a beautiful sunset that strikes us just the right way, that camera is constantly clicking; preserving the memories and moments that we want to hold close to our hearts no matter how old we get. If you are like most people, however, those pictures you take quickly begin to pile up in old shoe boxes, or files on your computer. They are constantly sitting there waiting for you to do something wit… Continue
