Sugar, coin among suggestions for caring for cut tulips
Web-posted 05/09/08
With Mother's Day just around the corner, moms everywhere are about to get bombarded with flowers. How long they last is up to mom. For roses, carnations and mixed arrangements, the key is a clean vase, cool water and stems that are cut before adding to the vase.

Lantana keeps blooming for months
Web-posted 04/11/08
It's hard to go wrong by adding lantana to your landscape. It's a great, drought-tolerant plant, and even when we have gully-washing rains, it performs well.
