		<description><![CDATA[Kniphopfias (aka: Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily) are one of my very favorite flowers to add vertical interest to the garden.  Seeing their snake-like stalks rise from a clump of lush leaf blades is always a joy to behold as they stretch their long necks what seems like several inches a day. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I spent a few days with Jeanette Sinclair (of Woodside Images) in Southern California&#8217;s charming little town of Santa Paula, visiting Ball Horticulture&#8217;s Spring Trials to see what new treasures they had to offer the plant world. For those of you who aren&#8217;t familiar with Spring Trials, Jeanette compares it to New York&#8217;s Fashion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Hellebores are typically pretty easy to grow here in Northern California, requiring partial shade, well-draining soil and moderate irrigation.  They come in a staggering range of colors, from the deepest maroon to the palest ivory.  They&#8217;re usually categorized as either having upright blooms on tall stems  (aka: caulescent) or no stems, typically with downward facing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While visiting the garden of one of my favorite clients yesterday I was really pleased with how it looked in the middle of February.  When designing, one of my priorities is to create a garden that looks good throughout the year.  Luckily, living in Northern California&#8217;s zone 9, this is a very attainable goal.  However, [...]]]></description>

And just in time for Halloween! &#160; &#160;  As the above photo demonstrates, the dark foliage of [...]]]></description>
