Fragrant Flowers

White Butterfly

To us, tropical-looking plants are plants that thrive in the heat and that add a lot of bright color to the summer garden. They are perennial but disappear for the winter. A bit farther south they are evergreen and don’t freeze to the ground. A bit farther north and you have to replace them every year. It is great that they freeze to the ground every winter here in our region. Here is a sampling of some of our favorite plants for hot southern summers.

The Chicago Botanic Garden has evaluated 20 select alliums since 2010.

Travertine Pool

We have been in this home for five years and had the pool put in three years ago. It’s taken a while to develop the borders around the perimeter of the travertine pool surround because the ground was so compacted, but everything seems to be settling in happily now. The property is just under half an acre, and I’ve been stealthily whittling away at the lawn turf by enlarging the garden beds.
