Incredible photos, Melanie. Is that your new camera? Golly, I'd love to walk around your yard with you....well, actually you are giving me a *virtual* tour, right? Thanks for sharing all of your babies with us.
Hmmm....'native Texas", Ann. That covers a LOT of territory from Baytown to Midland. Many different climates from hot and humid in Houston to desert in El Paso. Sadly, no place on my property qualifies as "damp".
