eastern U.S. Foam flower is a lovely compact perennial found in moist
woodlands but adapts well to the shade garden. In early April, stalks

multi-colored foliage. Thanks to plant breeders, many cultivars are
available.

Q: Every fall when I open my windows hundreds of
lady bugs, wasps, and large amounts of straw fall out of the window
frame. How can I control this problem? - Todd K.
Q: I started seeing this problem 4 years ago in my
zoysia lawn. It stays in the exact shape and position except where it
has spread. Any ID? - Rich F.
Q: Our driveway is lined with Carolina Beauty
crepemyrtles but we have yet to see any beauty in them. Why can't we
get a bloom out of these trees? - Christy L.
We're all familiar with honeybees that live in colonies
but ground bees prefer the solitary life. They nest in burrows in the
ground. Look for a mound of soil standing two inches high, with a
quarter-inch hole in the center.
