Hey y’all. Ziva and I had an amazing day picking up plants from our native supplier, then stopping by Martin Dies Jr State Park on the way home. That is such a beautiful park. You should stop by to visit it if you ever get the chance.
Anyway. Here’s a little video showing the plants we picked up today. I’ll have the inventory updated on the website tonight for the plants that were out of stock. Tomorrow I’ll start adding the new plants to the Boutique. Let me know if you have questions on any of them. Enjoy!
Happy diggin’ in the dirt!

Hello there! How’s everyone doing today? Who else is ready for Fall weather to finally come to our area?? I know I am. The forecast says next week should be beautiful. We shall see, I reckon.
Anyway. I made an order with my awesome native plant supplier, so Ziva and I will be daytrippin’ Monday to pick up a much needed mostly native plant order. Here’s the list:
Plants, that is. Ziva and I did our little road trip today to pick up some plants we ordered. These are now in the house:
‘PowWow Pink’ Coneflower
‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Coneflower
Rue, herb
‘Pink Magic’ Asters
‘Purple Magic’ Asters
‘Mystic Spires’ Salvia
The Rue and Coneflower inventories have been updated on the website. I’ll add the Asters and Salvia pages to it by tomorrow. They are all blooming and beautiful. I’ll post pictures of all of them in a bit. The Asters are in cute terracotta looking containers all ready for you to put on your sunny porch or patio to enjoy. Or you can plant them in your garden.
I found another cool supplier, so I went on ahead and made an order from them that we’ll pick up Monday the 12th.
* Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, Coralberry in a 5-gallon size! Can’t wait to see how pretty it looks.
* Bignonia capreolata ‘Tangerine Beauty’, Crossvine Tangerine Beauty, vine, also in a 5-gallon size (new)
* Native/nativar plant to Texas or the Southeast US. Five out of seven plants on this order are natives/nativars. The other two plants are native to Mexico.
Howdy, y’all. Ziva and I are picking up a big ol’ order of super cool plants this Friday the 9th. Most of this order are new to the Boutique plants (marked as new on the list), along with some special orders and restocking. The next order will be more of restocking sold out plants.
And here’s the list:
* Dryopteris x australis, Dixie Wood Fern (new)

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Taube’, Blue Dove Lace Cap Hydrangea (new)

Hello hello. I’m telling y’all, next week is gonna be a busy one for me and Ms Ziva cause we’ll have two plant orders to pick up, all of our customer deliveries, and I’m finishing up plant lists for the Garden Walkabout Consultations I did this week. phew. I definitely need Monday off to get some rest. lol
Wednesday we’re picking up an order from the supplier we just went to a couple of days ago cause y’all have bought almost all the coneflowers and a lot of the herbs (that’s a good problem to have, btw), then either Thursday or Friday will be the big order pick up day from our very fav native plant supplier cause y’all are quickly whittling away at my native plants (again, a very good problem to have).
Here’s what we’re getting Wednesday:
* ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Coneflower
* ‘Indian Summer’ Rudbeckia
Rue Herb
Salvia ‘Mystic Spires’
* ‘PowWow Wild Berry’ Coneflower
‘Magic Pink’ Asters
‘Magic Purple’ Asters
Whichever other herbs I need to add to the list by Tuesday
As always, * denotes a native or nativar plant.
Speaking of the herbs. I’ll be working diligently the next few days to add more descriptions to each individual herb listed on the Herb Page, including their medicinal value, which butterflies/caterpillars they are host and/or nectar plants for, and which other pollinators they attract.
I should be able to make a post on Tuesday letting y’all know what’s in the big order.
Here are pics for Wednesday’s order. Click on the pics to get info for the plant. The pic at the top of the page shows ‘PowWow Wild Berry’ Coneflower.
Happy diggin’ in the dirt!

I found a good supplier for herbs, so I’m picking these up next week. Herbs can be edible, medicinal, and host/nectar plants for butterflies (that pic is of a Black Swallowtail on parsley), so I’ll put all the info I can about using herbs all of those ways into the description part of their pages.

Check this out, y’all. I got this notification this morning from WordPress, and it made me so very happy. I think my little business is doing pretty darn good considering I’ve only been open since mid-June. So many, many thanks go out to all of my customers. Y’all rock!!
I have the BEST customers!!!
When I started talking about opening an online garden center that specialized in native plants, I got a lot of negative comments back about how no one wants to plant natives. Well, I think y’all have proven all those negative people wrong. So I’m gonna keep focusing on natives so we can all do our part to keep the bio-diversity of our own little corners of the world going strong. Thank y’all so very much!
Happy diggin’ in the dirt.
