		<description><![CDATA[Most of us are familiar with Mother-in-law’s tongue plant also called snake plant. It’s found in homes, offices, shops, workplaces and any other place that needs a tough and hardy indoor plant. Until 2017 it was officially called Sansevieria trifasciata. Subsequent  scientific study has now found it to be a Dracaena species so it&#8217;s official [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far this winter has been relatively mild which is good for all kinds of wildlife including birds and small and large mammals. Milder temperatures means fewer calories are needed to stay alive. There is no deep or ice-encrusted snow to keep wildlife from getting to their food sources such as nuts, seeds, fruits, grasses, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fall flowering favorite of mine is our native calico aster. It is found in all eastern US states and Canadian provinces. Around our local area, I’m seeing more of these plants than usual. The relatively rainy growing season may have something to do with it since they prefer semi-damp environments. More frequent rain means [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is also a spot where many native plants have become re-established. One of those plants, flowering right now in the middle of December, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Along with the cold air we got about eight or nine inches of snow. It turns out the snow was actually a blessing in disguise. It was like a warm blanket [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gladiolus are one of the most popular flowers in the world. Typically, glads are used to fill floral arrangements providing lots of color and their upright spikes add a vertical element. Many gardeners from the baby boomer generation think of funerals whenever they see glads. That’s because the flowers were ubiquitous in funeral homes back [&#8230;]]]></description>

With normal highs in the low fifties and lows in the mid-thirties, some parts of the natural world were caught unprepared too.

Why couldn’t someone just get some bulbs and plant them in the spring like a potato and let them grow and bloom? Plants need certain conditions [&#8230;]]]></description>
