Great list and link there Linda...I just wish they had not included vitex on the list--but it is probably very xeriscape suitable. They could have probably also suggested nutgrass for a lawn alternative too (just a joke folks--I battled it back for about 2 hours today--its right up there at the top of my most hated invasives/adapteds' at this point in time).

Speaking of which, did I miss frostweed on that there list? =)

Had an interesting visitor on mine today...the White-tipped Black Moth (Melanchroia chephise). Whom was kindly Identified on the butterfly forum for me today. The host plant for this moth is another Texas native annual snow-on-the-mountain (I think--the host plant part that is). Perhaps he was confused.....yet another great reason to grow Texas natives!
