Saturday, I “rescued” a few native plants from a site in Plano doomed to be scraped clean in the near future to make another road. I did not have any definite idea of what I was looking for when I set out. There were about fifty people there when I arrived. I spied a few I knew who were more knowledgable than me at identifying plants and attached myself to them.
With their help I found a few wild orchids and some prairie verbena and an aromatic sumac, all of which have already found a new home in my own garden. Many of the people were digging the prairie grasses, but I passed on that for now.
I am most curious about the orchids. I can’t wait for them to bloom so I can find out what kind they are.

what a great idea!! Plant rescue!! Good for you Bill!!
I was just reading an article in the monthly magazine of the San Diego Zoological Society called “Growing Native”. Makes me wish for actual dirt rather than just a deck.
