Thymophylla

_________________________________
___________________________________


Thymophylla has lacy thread-like foliage bright yellow flowers, survive the heat and produce prolifically. There are several native low growing bright-eyed yellow-flowered plants. The USDA site has listings and maps to help sort out the specific species and to help avoid confusion when it comes to Thymophylla, dyssodia, prickly leaf, and dogweed.



The Thymophylla, below throws seeds everywhere. They seem to like falling into grooves between the concrete of sidewalks and driveways and laughing with its precious tiny yellow blossoms. "I am a hardy delight for your spring enjoyment. You really don't want to pull me as you would a lowly weed!"



It is found in the Southwestern United States and Mexico and can be used in cottage gardens, rock gardens and styled gardens.

Fern-leaved Beggarticks


The Beggarticks, (Bidens) are native to Mexico and Hawaii and are members of the Aster family. 
WANTED!
Growing in many gardens by many names,this notorious plant might escape detection by using the aliases, Bidens, aka bur marigold, aka fern-leaved beggarticks, and aka Apache beggarticks ' Sun Drop', (Bidens ferulifolia). Be on the lookout, folks.  It would be a crime not to find this wildflower adding nuggets of gold to my garden. 
This is one of three pots, added to the corner of each step approaching the frontdoor. They accentuate the curve of the stairs. It is in full sun so this will be a little trial by fire. 
A  pot on the porch next to the rocking chair, layering and adding depth, with the duplication of the Bidens as the "filling" plant. THRILL: Coleus, FILL: Bidens, SPILL: Sweet Potato 'Margarita' 
The rocking chair pillow received a proper new botanical flair from a scrap of fabric in my stash.

Frangipani | Plumeria



Yellow Flowering Frangipani (Plumeria).
Plumeria is native to Colombia and emits a very strong and pleasant aroma. Technically a tree, Plumeria is found all over the Caribbean coast, but especially in Barranquilla. Plumeria is in the Apocynaceae, Dogbane Family and has a clean tropical floral scent. The common name 'frangipani' comes from an Italian noble family, a sixteenth-century marquess of which invented a plumeria-scented perfume. It is grown extensively in southern and western parts of India, where it is named champa.  Like Bougainvillea, Plumeria flowers come in all sorts of colours including white, pink, yellow, red, and even mixed colour combinations such as pink and yellow. While you can see Plumeria all over and at any time of the day, if you want to truly enjoy the aroma of this pleasant plant, wait until sundown—that is when the aroma is at its strongest.


The flowers are used in making Hawaiian leis.
