That search is wonderful! Frank was telling me about it and it sounded like a lot of work! I'm just amazed at how dedicated you are to this cause. I don't have only natives, but the ones I do have are just wonderful!

I've said many times how I fell in love with the Frostweed and Ironweed at the Texas Discovery Gardens. I had no idea that they were natives either. It's great that they have them planted because so many people see them there, but without you sharing them I wouldn't have them!

Both of these plants are growing nicely now. My Frostweed hasn't had time to get real tall yet since other things were keeping it in some shade, but they are blooming. Here is a pic of one.
