The bamboo palm (Rhapsis excelsa) is an elegant evergreen fan palm. It has bamboo-like stems and fronds of long dark green leaves with blunt ends, making it an unusual, yet attractive, house plant. Several other house plants are also referred to as the bamboo palm, including Dypsis lutescens (also known as the Areca palm, golden cane palm or butterfly palm) and Chamaedorea seifrizii.

As one of the most unmistakable and recognizable flowers in the world, the peony has been revered for its enduring beauty and fragrance for centuries. It is believed that these highly valued blooms have been cultivated in China since 1000 BC. Since then, hybridizers have been creating a myriad of spectacular cultivars in a wide range of colors and flower forms.
Generally easy to care for in the correct environment, these intoxicating blooms have found their way into millions of gardens all over the world. It is not uncommon for a single specimen to live up to 100 years, which speaks to its general toughness and adaptability. However, there are a few key cultural elements you can provide that will maximize plant health and floral display for decades to come.
There are three main types of peonies: herbaceous, intersectional, and tree or woody peonies. Regarding general peony care overall, the three types have certain similarities: All appreciate well-draining soil with a high organic matter content. One sure way to create an unhappy peony is to have heavy clay soil that is waterlogged. They despise wet roots. And with some individuals producing an abundance of flowers up to 10 inches across, adequate fertility is a must. Soil pH should be neutral to slightly acidic. Upon planting, incorporating a well broken-down compost as well as biochar can aid in creating the right soil environment.
Paeonia root systems are a bit territorial and are not fans of having neighbors or competition. It is best to keep all other plants away from the thick fleshy roots. Air circulation and proper spacing is also important for plant vigor. If peonies are planted too closely together, or if insufficient air movement creates a humid environment,

Uncommon Flowering Trees for the Southwest
It’s not hard to set your Southwest garden ablaze with flowering shrubs and familiar trees. In the right zones, jacaranda (Jacaranda spp. and cvs., Zones 9–11), crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica and cvs., Zones 6–9), blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida, Zones 8–11), desert willow (Chilopsis linearis, Zones 9–11), and even crabapples (Malus spp. and cvs., Zones 4–9) are easy to come by, providing reliable color in their preferred season. But if you’re the kind of gardener who likes to push the envelope or just try something different, here are a handful of uncommon flowering trees to seek out that you’re not likely to see in a typical landscape.

Spectacular Summer Flowering Bulbs for the Pacific Northwest
Spring is fading fast, and memories of the daffodil and tulip bulbs that we filled our beds and containers with are starting to fade also. Now is the time to think about summer-flowering bulbs to help a with the transition between spring and full summer. Just as a heads-up: Most gardens and sellers tend to lump tubers, corms, and rhizomes into a generic grouping referred to as “bulbs.” Many later-blooming bulbs are available from local nurseries and online resources. The common ones such as lilies (Lilium spp. and cvs., Zones 4–9), lily of the Nile (Agapanthus spp. and cvs., Zones 6–10), gladiola (Gladiolus spp. and cvs., Zones 8–10), and alliums (Allium spp. and cvs., Zones 4–9) are well and good, but two of my favorite bulbs bring a little more excitement to garden beds.
