		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kidder Sometimes I just can’t resist the goofy alliteration that most gardening magazines stoop to for their cover teases. Perhaps I could try “Heavenly Hydrangeas.” But, enough already. Let’s just talk about the plant. Hydrangeas conveniently go by the same name in both common usage and scientific terms. The only difficulty arises when [...]]]></description>

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, roses will be appearing everywhere, so I guess it’s time for me face the thorny things.

		<description><![CDATA[by Charles Kidder If you’ve seen dioramas or CGI movies of dinosaurs roaming through a prehistoric landscape, you may have noticed tall, gaunt pine-like trees in the background. This potential dinosaur dinner, the genus Araucaria, was widely distributed and reached its maximum diversity some 200 million to 60 million years ago, but today is restricted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Charles Kidder Each year thousands of fir trees are sold to Virginians. Most, by far, are dead. Yet we don’t get upset about it. We take the still-green tree indoors, hang lights and ornaments on it, and enjoy it during the dark days of winter. When the holidays are over, we (hopefully) take the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Charles Kidder Some of the tougher jobs in gardening fall under the rubric of editing. Not tough in the sense that they’re necessarily physically demanding, but rather, they may require making difficult decisions. Now that we’re past the summer doldrums, it’s a good time for some editing decisions, even if you put off the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Charles Kidder Bamboos are a large group of perennial grasses that are woody in the sense that their stems remain alive for a few years, rather than dying to the ground every winter as in most grasses. There are more than 70 genera and over 1,400 species, primarily concentrated in temperate and tropical Asia. [...]]]></description>

The all-too-clear meaning of the query: What are the flowers like, as if nothing else really mattered to a gardener. Show me dinner [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kidder Perhaps the first plant I could recognize and name as a child was the daffodil, a welcome sight and fragrance after a long New York winter. And although native to the Mediterranean, daffodils (Narcissus species) have been in Virginia since at least the middle of the seventeenth century. Beginning in the 1890s, [...]]]></description>

But they have a hard time going beyond brick-and-boxwood!” Yet another plant person was describing the conditions under which boxwood is found in the wild. “Boxwood is a tall shrub, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the last bit of brilliant fall foliage disappears, it’s tempting to think that all color and interest has left the landscape. But I’m easily amused, so I consider grays, browns, tans—and of course, greens—to be colors too. What’s more, the lack of leaves now makes the structure of the vegetation—the bones, if you will—more [...]]]></description>
