Yellow Orchid Vine Native to the Baja California region of Mexico Clusters of yellow orchid-shaped flowers grace the medium-green foliage in spring and summer. Blooming often resumes in fall. Butterfly-shaped seedpods form after flowering, starting out as a light green and fading to tan. Yellow orchid vine needs a trellis for support, or it can be allowed to grow as a ground cover.
Winterberry can grow 6 to 10 feet tall and wide. Winterberry likes medium to wet soil in full sun to partial shade. It’s perfect for rain gardens, swales and areas along rivers or ponds. Make sure you plant both male and female plants so you get the berry production.
6 to 10 feet tall and wide once mature, this is one of my favorite all-season, fairly drought-tolerant, go-to shrubs. Clusters of white blooms in mid to late spring support tons of insects, such as early-emerging native bees, and late summer sees dark blue berries that are quickly eaten.
Open plan. A dining area open to the kitchen often replaced the concept of having a kitchen table and a separate formal dining room. An area rug grounds this dining area; the light fixture helps to define the space as well, but its clear glass allows it to blend right in with the rest of the rooms.
Shallow spice storage allows you to quickly see what you have rather than fumbling through a crowded cluster of jars.
