Cool
Plant
American Linden (Tilia
americana)
 Deciduous
tree native east of the Mississippi. This handsome yet
somewhat unknown tree makes for a wonderful shade or lawn tree. Creamy
white, fragrant flowers are borne from drooping clusters during the
early to mid summer. Seed heads lend the tree an unusual texture and
the
toothed heart-shaped leaves resemble those of redbuds. Learn more...

I send
quick gardening tips to my Facebook friends each week. 
Plants have numerous ways of displaying their flowers. Some
are atop
short stems, some are hidden by the leaves and others make sure their
flowers are seen by placing them on "poles" or tall spikes. These
upright flower groups are useful for height in the garden and for
flower
arranging.
Going
Green with Rocco will bring you the latest and greatest ideas for
making your home a more comfortable, less wasteful, lower cost and
