Native Plant Landscaping Front of Home

I love the look of the yard. It contains mostly Texas native plants: Blackfoot Daisy, Drummond's Skullcap, Penstemon spp., Mexican Feather Grass, Mealy Blue Sage, Square-bud Primrose, Devil's Shoestring ( not in photo), and some adaptive plants such as: Bulbine, Bi-color Iris, and Society Garlic. I am proud of this. Spring will bring out Bluebonnets, Rain Lillies, Silver Ponyfoot, Frogfruit and many more! Not much maintenance right now except a few weeds here and there.

Native Backyard Habitat

Interesting? This 2008 backyard habitat brims with over 100 types of Texas native plants. My husband and I desperately wanted to get rid of the water-hogging grass replacing it with plants which require less water.

When the beds in this picture were first created, they looked more like graves than anything else. Creepy to say the least!

Landscaping with the slope of this yard tested one's nerves. Rocks were hauled in to help form the beds and line the meandering stream that winds it's way through and down towards the lower end of the yard.
