Native Plants for Water Conservation with Cleveland County Horticulture Educator - Courtney DeKalb-Myers.
A
All
right,
let's
say,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started.
I
am
going
to
record
today's
session,
so
we
can
send
it
back
out
in
an
email
and
we'll
have
it
in
video
form
in
the
future
as
well.
I
know
everyone
loves
your
content,
so
much
courtney
that
I'll
be
happy
to
be
able
to
refer
back
to
it
in
the
future.
A
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
today
on
our
our
virtual
workshop
for
native
plants
for
water
conservation.
My
name
is
christina
chikorovsky
and
I
am
a
water
conservation
coordinator
with
the
city
of
oklahoma
city
and
I'm
so
excited
to
have
courtney
with
us
today.
A
She
is
the
cleveland
county,
horticulture
educator,
where
she's
been
there
since
about
august
2018,
and
she
mostly
works
with
home
homeowner
inquiries,
master
gardeners
and
other
horticulture
education
programming
throughout
the
state
and
the
county
she's
originally
from
norman
oklahoma,
and
she
went
on
to
study
horticulture
at
osu,
with
an
emphasis
in
entrepreneurship
after
graduating,
from
osu
courtney,
went
ahead
and
moved
to
raleigh
north
carolina
to
attend
nc
state
for
grad
school,
where
she
focused
mostly
on
vegetable
production,
specifically
processing
tomatoes
for
local
salsa
products.
So
I
can't
wait
to
give
that
a
try
sometime.
B
A
Emphasis
on
local
products
really
is
what
motivated
her
to
move
back
home
to
oklahoma
and
work
for
the
osu
cooperative
extension,
so
we're
really
excited
to
partner
today.
This
is
the
second
time
courtney's
done
this
workshop
for
us
and
when
we
said
we
wanted
to
keep
doing
this
workshop,
we
thought
we
would
still
be
in
the
library
squeezed
into
a
library
room.
We
didn't
foresee
this
being
in
a
virtual
capacity,
but
we're
really
excited
to
be
here
just
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping
information.
A
Before
I
hand
over
the
microphone
to
courtney,
if
you
are
having
any
audio
problems,
put
that
in
the
chat,
I'm
going
to
put
this
information
in
the
chat
as
well,
because
once
this
opening
slide
goes
away,
you
won't
have
access
to
that
information.
A
B
Thank
you
christina.
I
appreciate
that
introduction.
I'm
really
excited
to
teach
this
webinar.
I
like
working
with
you
guys
it's
a
little
bit
different,
not
being
at
the
south,
okc
library,
but
that's
okay
and
thanks
to
technology,
we're
we're
here
over
over
in
a
webinar
format.
So
today
we
will
be
talking
about
native
plants
and
their
role
in
our
ecosystem
and
the
the
benefits
of
native
plants
and
why
you
should
consider
some
native
plants
for.
B
B
We
are
located
in
cleveland
county,
so
that's
in
we're
located
in
norman
and
we
serve
norman
moore,
the
lower
part
of
oklahoma
city,
noble
and
lexington,
and
within
our
office
we
also
have
an
agriculture
agent,
a
family,
consumer
science,
agent,
someone
who
can
help
you
develop
small
business
and
then
also
the
4-h
and
youth
development
program.
So,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
osu
extension
service,
we
offer
a
lot
of
different
services
and
we're
always
happy
to
help
you
and
we
hope
that
you
come
by
and
come
see.
B
There
are
offices
in
all
77
counties
of
oklahoma,
so
if
you're
joining
us
from
somewhere
else
check
out
your
local
extension
office
and
then
and
see
what
these
services
they
have
to
offer
for
you
as
well.
So
today
we
are
talking
about
native
plants,
and
I
like
to
start
out
with
really
defining
what
is
a
native
plant.
B
So
you
know
we
have
to
really
kind
of
consider
that
boundaries
are
man-made
plants
plants,
don't
give
two
hoots
about
about
the
boundary,
the
boundaries
that
we
make
for
states
or
countries
or
or
anything
like
that
plants
are
adapted
to
the
environment
that
they
are
native
to
and
they
tend
to
stay
in
that
similar
environment
and
so
for.
For
this
I
like
to
consider,
pin
oaks.
Now,
if
you
look
at
the
map,
which
has
the
range
of
10
oaks,
that
would
include
oklahoma,
we
have
the
northeastern
part
there
adapted
to
that.
B
But
if
you
move
to
central
oklahoma,
the
pin
oaks
are
not
quite
as
adapted,
they
really
do
prefer
low
ph
soils
for
more
acidic
soils
and
cleveland
county
tends
to
be
more
alkaline.
We
have
those
higher
ph's
and
and
from
what
I've
talked
to
my
colleagues
in
surrounding
counties.
The
similar
those
counties
are
also
higher,
and
we
end
up
with
these
chlorotic
yellow
unhealthy,
looking
pin
oaks
when
we
plant
them
in
our
county.
B
So
while
they
are
native
to
oklahoma,
they're,
really
not
native
to
our
area
of
oklahoma,
to
define
nativity
and
defining
what
a
native
plant
is,
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
really
think
about
what
about
our
ecosystem
and
the
relationships
between
the
living
and
the
abiotic,
the
non-living
portions
of
our
ecosystem.
B
B
Man
was
here
and
they
have
those
existing
relationships,
but
there
are
also
the
abiotic
portions
of
those
of
that
ecosystem,
the
non-living
portions
of
that
ecosystem,
which
would
include
the
climatic
conditions,
so
your
temperature
and
and
the
different
sort
of
weather
conditions
that
we
have
in
that
particular
area
and
then
also
the
soil
conditions.
B
And
so
all
of
these
work
together
to
create
an
ecosystem,
and
they
all
have
relationships
with
each
other
to
be
able
to
help
each
other
survive
within
that
ecosystem.
It's
kind
of
a
living
sort
of
system
where
they
all
support
each
other,
and
so,
if
humans
weren't
here,
we
would
have
all
native
plants
within
our
within
our
ecosystem
and
that
would
really
serve
to
the
pollinators
and
the
wildlife.
B
That's
here,
they're,
better
adapted
to
the
climatic
conditions
and
the
soil
conditions
and
we'll
kind
of
dive
into
the
more
specifics
of
that
here
in
a
little
bit.
But,
but
really
what
it
is
is
that
they're
playing
a
role
in
our
local
local
ecosystems
and
and
really
kind
of
playing
that
piece,
as
opposed
to
maybe
non-native
plants,
and
so
an
example
of
that
I
have
here,
is
the
passion.
B
Flower
vine,
which
has
a
beautiful
striking
flower
and
it's
a
host
plant
for
the
gulf
fritillary
butterfly
the
gulf
fritillary
butterfly,
is
a
is
a
butterfly
and
a
pollinator,
that's
native
to
our
our
ecosystem
here,
and
that
plant
life
really
supports
the
existence
of
that
butterfly.
So
native
plants
are
really
kind
of
playing
that
role
within
within
our
ecosystem.
B
So
there
are
several
ecoregions
in
oklahoma.
Oklahoma
is
actually
very
unique
and
has
a
lot
of
diversity
when
it
comes
to
eco
regions.
If
you
think
about
all
four
corners
of
the
state,
you
know
if
you
were
to
go
down
all
the
way
down
to
idabel
and
then
all
the
way
up
to
the
northeast
or
the
northwest
they're
very
different
from
each
other,
and
so
that
you
know
we.
B
What
might
work
well
in
cleveland,
county
or
oklahoma
county
might
not
work
well
up
in
the
northeast
or
up
in
the
panhandle,
and
so
it's
very
diverse
and
kind
of
knowing
what
we're
in.
We
can
really
fine-tune
the
native
plants
that
are
available
to
us
in
our
very
local
micro-climate,
so
cleveland,
county
and
kind
of
the
rest
of
the
central
state.
B
B
First
is
the
providing
shelter
for
pollinators
in
a
food
source.
They
also
provide
a
food
source
and
attract
wildlife,
and
they
are
also
better
adapted
to
our
climate
and
soil,
and
so
these
are
three
important
reasons.
Why
I,
why
I
highly
encourage
you
to
consider
native
plants
for
your
garden,
so
first
we'll
talk
about
the
shelter
and
food
source
for
pollinators,
and
so
I
hope
that
this
this
news
is
nothing
new
to
you,
but
monarch.
The
monarch,
butterfly,
has
been
in
decline
over
the
past
10
years
or
so.
B
I
did
not
update
this
graph
for
last
winter,
but
I
do
believe
the
1920
winter
season
was
was
back
in
the
two
2.5
range,
so
continually
going
down
and
the
unique
thing
about
monarch,
butterflies
is
that
they're
migratory,
and
so
that
graph
was
measuring
the
hectares
where
they
overwinter
in
mexico,
but
that's
where
they
spend
the
winter
time
and
then
they
move
in
the
spring
up
into
the
midwest
and
they'll
spend
their
summers
in
the
midwest
and
then
in
the
fall
usually
september
early
of
october
kind
of
around
now
the
monarch,
butterflies
will
move
back
down
to
mexico
and
so
they're
migratory,
and
they
move
back
and
forth
between
those
two
locations.
B
Well,
looking
at
the
map,
oklahoma
is
smack
dab
in
the
middle
and
we
get
to
see
those
monarch,
butterflies
in
the
fall
in
the
spring
as
they're
making
their
moves
to
their
next
stop.
So
we're
really
kind
of
you
know
a
rest
stop
on
the
monarch,
the
monarch,
migration
highway,
and
you
know,
as
oklahomans,
we
kind
of
sort
of
have
a
responsibility
to
provide
food
and
shelter
for
those
monarchs
as
they
move.
B
So
they
might
come
down
to
rest
in
your
garden.
If
you
have
a
native,
a
native
garden
with
lots
of
food
for
them,
then
that
gives
them
the
energy
to
continue
on
their
journey
and
with
monarchs.
We
usually
you
can't
talk
about
monarchs
without
talking
about
milkweed,
so
milkweed
and
monarchs
they
have
a
symbiotic
relationship.
B
Milkweed
is
the
only
plant
that
monarch
larva
will
eat,
and
so
they
won't
eat
any
other,
any
other
kinds
of
plants.
So
if
we're
going
to
provide
a
rest,
stop
and
some
energy
for
those
on
their
journey,
we
have
to
have
milkweed
in
our
landscape,
and
so
because
monarchs
and
milkweed
have
this
relationship
and
oklahoma
is
right.
In
the
middle
of
the
monarch,
migration
highway,
there
are
actually
26
native
types
of
milkweeds
in
oklahoma,
and
so
these
are
five
of
the
most
widespread
native
milkweeds
in
oklahoma.
B
And
so
you
know
that's
just
one
example
of
a
pollinator
and
a
native
plant
in
that
relationship
that
we
can
really
really
help
and
and
becomes
a
great
benefit
when
we
focus
on
native
plants
in
our
garden-
and
you
know
too,
that's
that's
just
one
pollinator-
that
there
are
many
other
pollinators
that
have
evolved
and
have
developed
relationships
with
the
native
plants
and
the
local
plants
to
your
ecosystem,
and
so
really
focusing
on
those
native
plants
can
help
really
protect
those
pollinators
and
and
give
them
a
chance.
B
B
You
know
if
they're
not
a
pollinator
and
we're
not
terribly
concerned
about
them.
We
tend
to.
We
tend
to
think
that
they're
all
bad,
but
to
us,
maybe
they
maybe
they're
bad,
but
to
a
bird
that
that
is
food,
and
so
those
insects
and
the
ecosystem
that
have
developed
those
relationships
and
and
prefer
those
sources
of
food
tend
to
go
after
those
plants
and
if
you've
got
insects
on
your
plants,
then
you're
more
likely
to
have
birds
in
your
landscape,
and
so
talking
about
birds
and
other
wildlife.
B
Birds
need
three
things
to
survive:
food,
water
and
shelter,
and
we
can
provide
these
things
with
our
landscaping.
B
So
you
know
if
humans
weren't
here
there
wouldn't
be
bird
feeders
bird
feeders
are
really
meant
to
be
supplemental
sources
of
food
birds
really
do
prefer
to
eat
insects
or
fruit
or
various
kinds
of
seeds,
depending
on
what
kind
of
bird
you're
trying
to
attract
and
so
having
plants
that
having
plants
that
provide
these
things
either
by
having
fruit
like
the
elderberry
in
that
picture
there
or
attracting
insects
to
them
so
that
the
birds
are
able
to
eat
them,
then
those
are
ways
that
we
can
bring
birth
into
our
landscape,
but
they
also
need
shelter
so
providing
evergreen
trees
are
a
great
way
to
provide
shelter,
especially
during
the
winter
birds
tend
to
really
like
open
type
clearings
when
they're
feeding,
and
so
if
they
go
and
they're
feeding,
they
have
a
nice
place
where
they
can
go
back
to
a
protected
spot
when,
when
they
feel
threatened
so
having
evergreen
and
providing
shelter
is
another
way
that
we
can
provide,
provide
benefits
for
our
birds
and
attract
birds
to
our
landscape
and
then
final,
the
last,
the
last
benefit
of
native
plants.
B
So,
like
I
said
we're
talking
about
eco
regions,
we
we
really
kind
of
look
at
the
plant's
adaptability
to
that
specific
climate
and
that
specific
soil
conditions
and
so
planting
native
plants
they're
going
to
do
better
because
they've
been
here
for
years
and
years
and
years
we
didn't
take
them
from
some
place
or
some
other
eco
region,
where
maybe
they're
not
they're,
not
so
adapted
to
so
native
plants,
do
tend
to
do
a
lot
better
because
they're,
better
adapted,
and
so
we
kind
of
say
better
adapted
to
the
climate.
But
what
are
the
benefits?
B
How
can
I
convince
you
that
this
is
worth
it?
Well,
there
are
less
inputs
so
because
they're
adapted
to
the
fur
to
the
soil,
you
don't
really
have
to
put
down
too
much
fertilizer
to
make
them
happy.
B
They
might
have
some
insect
issues
or
maybe
some
disease
issues,
but
they're
pretty
used
to
that
because
they've
been
here
and
we
might
not
have
to
spray
pesticides
on
them
to
to
keep
them
happy.
So
we
really
don't
have
to
put
so
much
energy
into
them
as
far
as
spraying
or
applying
fertilizers.
B
B
We
don't
have
to
be
babying
them,
they
are
lower
maintenance
and
then
they
are
better
for
water
conservation,
which
means
that
we
do
not
have
to
irrigate
them
quite
as
much
so
you
know
if
you
look
at
a
prairie,
there's,
not
sprinkler
systems
out
there
in
the
prairie,
and
so
those
plants
aren't
really
used
to
that
additional
irrigation
beyond
what
they're
given
through
rainfall,
so
they're
they're,
better
for
water
conservation
and
they
do
take
less
irrigation
and
so
to
visualize
this
a
little
bit
too,
especially
in
reference
to
turf
grasses.
B
I
don't
have
the
their
common
names
or
their
scientific
names
associated
with
them,
but
these
are
some
native
plants
and
they
have
very
deep
root
systems
and
so
because
they're
better
adapted
to
the
soil,
they're
able
to
put
down
very
deep
root
systems
and
have
a
very
large
surface
area
so
because
they
have
a
very
large
surface
area
of
roots,
they're
able
to
pull
up
more
nutrients
and
they're
able
to
pull
up
more
water
and
so
they're
just
more
resilient
when
it
comes
to
withstanding
our
climate
and
to
contrast
that
turf
grasses
are
all
the
way
over
there
in
the
left,
we
tend
to
mow
them
very
short,
and
then
they
tend
to
have
very
short
root
systems.
B
So
not
a
very
wide
surface
area.
They
are
not
able
and
they're
not
adapted
as
well
to
pull
up
water
and
to
pull
up
nutrients.
So
we
have
to
put
more
inputs
into
them
and
it
ends
up
just
being
quite
a
bit
more
work
as
compared
to
the
native
plants.
B
So
those
are
some
benefits
of
oops.
Oh,
no,
those
are
some
benefits
of
native
plants,
but
but
right
now
I
kind
of
want
to
focus
on
and
move
on
to
dispelling
some
myths.
I
know
that
sometimes
there's
a
lot
of
misconceptions
about
native
plants
and
I
kind
of
want
to
address
some
of
those.
B
So
these
myths-
this
is
from
an
article
by
penn
state
extension,
called
neighborly
natural
landscaping
and
if
you
are
inspired
or
motivated
to
to
convert
your
landscape
to
natives,
I
encourage
you
to
to
go
check
out
that
article.
It's
a
really
great
one,
but
they
list
some
myths
and
then
dispel
those
myths
in
that
article.
B
If
we've
we've
had
rain
and
we're
not
in
a
drought,
then
they
tend
not
to
be
quite
so
flammable,
but
if
they
were,
if
we
were
to
have
a
fire
or
anything
like
that,
the
native
plants
from
the
grasses,
they
can't
sustain
heat
for
more
than
20
seconds,
and
so
it's
a
very
quick,
a
very
quick
burn
and
for
fire
to
be
damaging
to
home.
B
It
had
to
burn
within
four
feet
of
the
house
for
seven
and
a
half
minutes,
and
so
the
native
plants,
the
grasses
and
everything
can't
sustain
that
high
heat
for
very
long.
And
so
if
there
were
to
be
some
kind
of
fire,
it
would
not
be
quite
so
damaging
to
your
home
because
it
can't
sustain
it
for
a
time
period.
That
would
be
damaging.
B
But
some
facts
about
that.
Rats
are
attracted
to
human
produced
food,
so
they're
more
likely
to
go
and
be
in
your
dumpster
than
in
your
native
plant
garden,
so
they
like
oils
and
fats,
and
things
like
that,
so
you're
not
really
going
to
have
rats
in
your
native
plant
garden.
Now
snakes.
Yes,
snakes
do
tend
to
like
kind
of
brushy
sort
of
more
native
type
plants
where
they
have
a
lot
of
shelter,
but
snakes
are
also
very
good
for
the
ecosystem
and
they
eat
pests
like
mice,
insects
and
slugs.
B
They
also
don't
really
like
to
be
disturbed
a
whole
lot,
and
so,
if
you're
going
to
go
work
in
an
area,
you
know
brushing
those
plants
and
kind
of
maybe
hitting
it
with
a
stick
to
sort
of.
Let
them
know
hey
I'm
going
to
work
in
this
area.
They
tend
to
not
really
want
to
go
after
you
necessarily.
So
those
are
some.
B
B
Well,
mosquitoes
need
standing
water
to
breed
so
things
like
puddles,
maybe
a
bird
bath
of
stagnant
water,
where
it's
not
moving.
B
So
they
do
require
that
in
order
to
breed
a
turf
lawn
on
a
turf
lawn,
a
regular
turf
on
that,
we
might
have
have
a
very
shallow
root
system,
so
that
image
that
we
saw
earlier
and
they're
less
likely
to
very
quickly
soak
up
water
because
they
don't
have
a
very
large
surface
area
of
their
roots.
And
so,
if
we
have
a
very
heavy
rain,
it
takes
longer
for
the
lawn
to
be
able
to
pull
up
that
moisture
and
be
able
to
prevent
those
areas
of
standing
water.
B
I
think
this
is
my
last
one,
but
natural
landscapes
produce
pollen
that
cause
suffering
for
those
with
allergies.
So
when
born
pollens
are
actually
the
primary
cause
of
allergies,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what
we
get
in
our
nose.
And
then
our
sinuses
are
our
wind-borne
pollens
and
plants
with
showy
flowers.
B
Those
are
usually
pollinated
by
insects,
they're
not
pollinated
by
wind.
So
if
we're
choosing
plants
that
have
you
know
those
big
showy
daisy-like
flowers,
that
pollen
is
not
really
meant
to
get
in
the
air
and
to
get
into
our.
A
B
B
So
the
alternative
when
it
comes
to
native
plants-
and
this
is
kind
of
a
worst
case
scenario
situation,
but
exotic
non-native
plants-
they
can
become
invasive-
they
can
enter
our
natural
land,
our
natural
wild,
untouched,
landscape
and
and
take
over
and
choke
out
that
native
flora.
So
the
picture
there
I
have
is
kudzu.
B
You
know
kudzu
growing
and
choking
out
the
native
flora.
That
was
that's
an
example
of
an
exotic
plant
gone
horribly
wrong,
and-
and
you
know,
hopefully
we
don't
have
any
other
situations
like
this.
But
of
course
you
know
bringing
new
plants
in
yeah
can
always
always
have
this
potential.
B
They
can
also
be
a
poisonous
food
source
for
wildlife.
So
if
we
have
the
that
wildlife
and
that
that
group
of
those
specific
species
of
wildlife
to
our
ecosystem,
they
might
not
be
used
to
eating
those
non-native
plants.
There
might
be
they're
not
adapted
to
eating
them,
that's
not
a
natural
food
source
for
them
and
if
that's
their
only
choice
or
the
majority
of
their
choice
and
they
go
and
they
try
and
eat
that
it
could
potentially
be
toxic
to
them.
B
It
also
requires
a
lot
of
environmental
manipulation,
so
we
have
to
kind
of
trick
that
plant
into
being
happy.
You
know
so,
whether
that
be
through
the
applications
of
pesticides
or
fertilizers
or
or
more
water
or
heavily
imagining
that
soil
they
do
tend
to
require
a
lot
of
environmental
manipulation
to
be
successful
and
so
kind
of
an
example
that
we
have
in
oklahoma
and
that
we've
been
dealing
with
is
the
the
calorie
pear
or
the
bradford
pear
they
have.
B
B
Some
vacant
lots
and
some
some
undeveloped
areas
in
in
our
area,
so
that's
just
kind
of
to
bring
it
home
a
little
bit.
That's
an
example
of
one
that
that
we're
dealing
with,
but
I
I
do
want
to
to
make
a
small
plug
that
you
know
not.
All
of
them
are
bad
they're,
not
all
bad,
but
just
make
sure
to
do
some
research,
and
so
this
is
russian
sage.
It's
I'll
give
you
a
hint
it's
native
to
russia,
but
it's
a
non-native
perennial
that
performs
very
well
in
oklahoma.
B
So
it
you
know
the
eco
region
that
it's
native
to
is
it's
fairly
similar
to
the
the
our
eco
region,
and
so
it
does
perform
very
well
here,
but
just
before
you
know
making
a
selection
just
just
do
some
research
and
see
how
it
performs
and
if
it
has
invasive
tendency
or
aggressive
tendencies
or
is
maybe
toxic
to
anyone.
So
do
some
research
before
purchasing
and
and
you
should
be
fine,
so
those
are
some
benefits.
B
So
first
I
encourage
you
to
start
with
a
small
area.
I
don't
want
anyone
to
go
home
and
and
rip
out
large
areas
of
their
lawn
today.
Just
so
start
small,
because
major
renovations
can
be
very
overwhelming
when
doing
you
know
major
renovations,
maybe
it
just
becomes
maybe
more
of
an
expense
and
more
work,
and-
and
we.
A
B
Up
with
areas
where
oh,
we
didn't
get
to
that
part
and
then
it
becomes
an
eyesore,
so
just
start
with
a
very
small
area.
You
know
kind
of
pick,
maybe
a
corner
or
or
a
specific
bed
of
your
landscape
and
start
there
say:
okay.
Well,
I'm
gonna,
maybe
try
native
plants
in
this
spot
and
expand
out
season
after
season,
but
also
you
know
too
many
landscapes
are
inherited.
We
often
times
as
gardeners.
Don't
get
just
a
perfectly
blank
slate
to
go
in
and
and
start
with.
B
You
know
we
might
have
maybe
purchased
the
home
and
there
was
an
existing
landscape
there
beforehand
or
maybe
we
we
had
a
builder
who
required
x,
y
and
z
and
their
planting
list,
and
so
we
we
kind
of
inherit
our
landscapes
and
so
build
in
around
the
existing
area.
B
If
you
maybe
have
well-established
trees,
you
don't
want
to
get
rid
of
or
shrubs
or
maybe
there's
some
plants.
You
really.
A
B
But
just
kind
of
building
in
around
the
existing
area
can
also
be
a
good
strategy
to
start
out
small
and
not
get
overwhelmed,
but
then
also
have
patients,
patients,
patients,
patients.
You
know,
if
you're
kind
of
talking
to
a
kid,
but
it's
important,
because
you
know
it's
not
going
to
all
kind
of
come
to
fruition
in
one
year
and
one
season,
and
so
just
take
things.
Slow
have
patience
and
we
can
convert
our
to
kind
of
add
in
some
things
to
our
to
our
native
plant
garden
with
native
plant
gardens.
B
2
diversity
is
key,
so
it's
very
important
to
have
a
wide
range
of
plants
within
our
native
plant
garden.
So
you
don't
want
to
plant
just
all
one
native
plant
and
there's
a
couple
reasons
for
that.
One
is
the
environmental
conditions
can
vary
from
year
to
year,
so
maybe
one
year
we
have
maybe
uncharacteristic
drought
conditions,
and
so
because
we
have
those
uncharacteristic
drought
conditions.
B
Maybe
some
of
the
plants
begin
to
suffer
a
little
bit,
but
maybe
there
are
some
plants.
If
you
have
a
diverse
group,
the
plants
that
are
more
adapted
to
those
uncharacteristic
drought
conditions
will
do
better,
or
maybe
we
have
you
know,
may
can
bring
in
several
inches
of
rain,
and
some
of
that
can
kind
of
hinder
some
of
those
plants
that
are
more
adapted
to
the
drought
conditions.
B
But
there
are
some
plants
that
that
can
withstand
those
wet
feeds
for
sustained
period
of
time.
So
having
this
idea
of
you
know
not
putting
all
your
eggs
in
one
basket
so
having
lots
of
different
plants
can
help
with
environmental
resilience
depending
on
if
we
have
crazy,
crazy
gears
or
not,
but
also
bloom
and
fruit
seed
times
vary
so
particularly
with
perennial
type
plants.
They
might
only
bloom
for
two
or
three
weeks,
and
so
we
don't
want
all
of
our
plants
to
bloom
for
two
or
three
weeks
during
one
part
of
the
season.
B
So,
if
we're
trying
to
bring
in
pollinators
and
protect
the
wildlife
and
the
ecosystem
around
us,
we
don't
want
to
feed
those
pollinators.
Only
three
weeks
of
the
season
so
having
varied
plants
and
having
lots
of
different
kinds
of
plants
so
that
we
have
sustained
bloom
throughout
the
season
can
be
is
a
good
idea
and
having
diversity.
B
I
also
add
two
to
this,
that
having
diversity
in
your
power
sheets
or
your
flower
or
your
family
types,
certain
structures
of
oh,
I
didn't
change
the
slide.
Certain
structures
of
flowers
tend
to
be
more
attractive
to
certain
pollinators,
so
kind
of
like
the
flat
daisy
type.
Flowers
are
really
good
for
butterflies.
B
Sometimes
native
plants
can
get
relatively
tall
and
if
we
have
those
planted
right
up
against
the
sidewalk
or
we
have
a
maybe
in
an
easement
or
a
right
of
way,
that
can
become
a
public
safety
issue.
So
you
know
just
because
it's
a
native
plant
garden
doesn't
mean
it
has
to
look
wild,
doing
something
like
this.
B
Where
it's
you
know,
you've
got
your
lower
growing
plants
in
the
front
and
you're
taller
growing
plants
and
the
back
you
know
kind
of
stair
stepping
it
that
way
can
really
help
it
from
becoming
a
public
safety
issue.
B
Another
tip
excuse
me,
another
tip
for
the
designing
the
garden
is
to
use
borders
or
mohs
strips
so
maybe
we're
in
a
neighborhood
where
we're
required
to
have
bermuda
or
or
some
other
kind
of
turf
grass
that
really
likes
to
creep
into
gardens
and
if
you've
got
a
nice
dense,
lush
native
garden,
it
can
be
very
difficult
to
get
your
bermuda
out
of
there
and
so
having
borders
or
mow
strips,
maybe
of
oh,
just
like
rocks
or
kind
of
using
like
a
raised
bed
type
sort
of
design
can
really
add
a
neatness
and
really
kind
of
help
also
makes
it
easier
to
mow
and
to
prevent
maybe
some
of
your
turf
grass
from
getting
in
there.
B
So
using
curves
kind
of
sort
of
helps
highlight
and
just
make
it
look
a
little
bit
more
natural
than
if
you
had
maybe
a
line
straight
lines-
and
you
know
boom
boom
boom
plant,
like
that,
so
using
curves
kind
of
designing
a
more
informal
style
is,
is
tends
to
look
a
little
bit
better
and
then
also
add
some
human
elements
to
it.
So
doing
things
like
paths
or
benches,
you
know
as
gardeners,
we
work
really
hard
on
our
landscapes,
and
so
we
want
to
enjoy
them.
B
We
want
to
maybe
go:
have
a
cup
of
coffee
out
there
in
the
morning,
enjoy
our
landscape
and
listen
to
the
birds,
so
having
benches
or
tables
and
chairs,
where
you
can
go
out
and
actually
enjoy.
Your
garden
is
a
great
way,
but
also
adding
in
maybe
some
sundials
or
some
bird
baths
or
or
just
a
nice
human
touch
to
it,
and
this
kind
of
gives
the
perception
that
the
landscape
is
intentional.
B
So
if
it
was
kind
of
just
to
be,
you
know
blossoming
shoved
in
there.
You
know
that
maybe
to
your
neighbor
who's,
not
as
excited
about
native
plants,
as
you
are,
might
look
a
little
a
little
odd,
but
adding
in
these
little
human
elements
can
kind
of
really
give
that
perception
that
there's
a
human
touch
to
this
native
garden.
B
So,
like
I
mentioned
this
already
kind
of
with
the
public
safety
issues
too,
but
some
native
plants
get
very
tall.
So
it's
a
good
idea
to
put
these
towards
the
back
of
the
garden
if
they
get.
A
B
Onto
the
pathways
you
know
it
can
kind
of
feel
like
a
jungle,
and
you
don't
want
those
quite
so
much
so,
of
course,
put
your
taller
plants
towards
the
back
you're
more
medium,
and
then
your
kind
of
ground
covers
low
growing
plants
towards
the
front,
so
kind
of
stair
step
it.
B
Also,
some
plants
excuse
me:
some
plants
do
reseed,
and
so,
if
you
do
have
some
plants
that
reseed
put
out
lots
of
seeds
give
those
rooms
to
spread
out-
and
so
that's
kind
of
a
nice
thing
too,
about
those
reseeding
plants
is
that
you
know
you
always
have
them
again
next
year,
so
kind
of
giving
them
room
and
space
to
spread
out
can
can
help
you
in
the
following
year,
when
it
comes
to
talking
a
little
bit
about
soil
and
amendment,
unless
your
soil
is
really
really
bad.
B
Fertilizer
amendments
are
generally
not
recommended
native
plants,
don't
need
a
whole
lot
of
nitrogen
or
inputs
in
order
to
be
successful
and
to
do
their
thing
a
lot
of
times
two
native
plants,
if
they
have
too
many
nutrients,
will
start
to
flop
over
have
too
much
growth,
and
we
don't
really
want
that.
So
much
I
will
say,
though
you
know
sometimes
in
new
development,
they've
gone
and
they've
scraped
a
lot
of
the
top
soil
off,
and
so
that
is
really
difficult
to
grow
plants
in
any
kind
of
environment.
A
B
It's
really
bad:
it's
not
it's
not
needed
to
to
put
down
any
fertilizer
recommendations
to
add
to
build
the
soil.
We
can
use
compost
or
any
other
kind
of
organic
matter
that
releases
a
little
bit
of
nutrients
into
the
soil,
but
also
really
just
kind
of
makes
the
soil
it's
better.
B
It
holds
on
to
more
nutrients
when
it's
got
more
organic
matter
and
it
drains
quite
a
bit
better.
When
it's
got
more
organic
matter,
so
kind
of
sort
of
this
idea
of
building
soil
with
irrigation,
we
probably
need
to
apply
for
your
irrigation
establishment.
B
Really,
you
know
if
you
go
to
the
nursery
and
you
buy,
you
know
plants
that
have
been
grown
in
a
gallon
pot,
they're,
pretty
used
to
that
environment,
they're
used
to
getting
water,
they
get
a
greenhouse,
so
we
kind
of
have
to
get
them
established
before
they're
going
to
be
quite
so
resilient.
B
So
that's
so
consider
that
as
well.
Just
because
it's
the
native
plant
doesn't
mean
we
can
stick
it
out
there
right
out
of
the
nursery
pot
and
it's
gonna
do
just
fine,
but
do
consider
that
irrigation
will
be
required
at
establishment.
B
After
that,
if
the
plant's
not
adapted
to
wet
feet,
excess
water
can
be
detrimental,
so
don't
over
water
once
we've
established,
and
if
we
have
drought
you
know
we
can
apply
some
supplemental
irrigation,
just
to
kind
of
sort
of
bring
the
water
level
up
back
in
the
soil.
B
They'll
they'll
come
back
next
year,
but
of
course
we
can
always
apply
some
supplemental
irrigation
if
we
need
to
also
with
native
gardens,
don't
fear
hungry
caterpillars
just
because
they're
eating
on
our
plants.
That's
that's!
Okay.
Everything
is
part
of
the
ecosystem.
You
know
if
your
plants
aren't
being
eaten
by
some
kind
of
insects.
B
They're
not
they're,
not
part
of
the
ecosystem,
so
don't
fear
those
hungry
caterpillars
as
they
they
go
out
to
eat
some
of
our
plants
that
we
put
out,
and
so
also
if
we
do
have
caterpillars
and
things
eating
on
our
plants
that
can
provide
a
food
source
for
birds,
and
so
it's
all
part
of
this
living
system,
this
ecosystem,
that
we
have
so
don't
freak
out.
If
you
start
to
see
some
of
your
plants
being
chewed
on
also
be
judicial
with
pesticides.
B
So
maybe,
if
you
have
a
vegetable
garden
and
you're,
you
know
we're
treating
our
vegetable
garden
differently,
then
the
native
plant
garden
that
we
have
still
be
judicial
with
pesticides,
because
you
know
as
a
pollinator
or
as
an
insect,
we
don't
go.
Okay.
This
is
the
native
garden.
This
is
where
I
can
eat.
Oh,
this
is
the
vegetable
garden.
I
I
shouldn't
hear
you
know
that
doesn't
really
go
through.
Go.
B
They're
not
able
to
really
kind
of
see
those
distinctions
that
we
make
so,
if
you're
trying
to
really
promote
the
ecosystem
and
the
living
ecosystem
that
you've
got
a
vegetable
garden.
I
encourage
you
to
still
be
very
cautious
with
your
pesticide
use
and
so
especially
with
broad
spectrum,
pesticides
that
that
kill.
Basically,
every
insect
you
know
applying
those
would
really
be
problematic,
but
also
some
organic
pesticides.
Like
the
bt
products.
B
We
would
apply
those
to
control
caterpillar
pests,
but
if
we
were
to
accidentally
or
inadvertently,
apply
those
to
our
native
plant
garden.
That
would
impact
the
caterpillars
there
too.
So
just
because
it's
organic,
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it
distinguishes
between
the
insects.
We
view
as
good
and
the
insects
food
view
is
bad.
B
B
You
know
having
the
ability
to
you
know,
to
have
a
beautiful
landscape
and
to
educate
your
neighbor
about
why
native
plants
may
be
more
resilient
and
better
for
our
environment.
B
Need
to
force
that
upon
everybody
you
know
just
doing
our
little
part
is
great.
You
know
with
there
being
more
development
and
more
houses
kind
of
in
our
area.
You
know
providing
those
ecosystems
within
our
control
goes
a
long
way,
but
but
do
be
respectful
of
your
neighbors.
B
B
And
so
I
I
kind
of
always
like
to
bring
this
up
too,
but
the
problem
with
wildflower
packets,
and
so
we
see
them,
maybe
on.
We
see
them
at
the
nursery
centers
or
maybe
they
come
with
a
box
of
our
cereal,
and
we
think
oh
cool,
wildflowers,
okay,
I'll
just
go
ahead,
and
I
can
put
that
out
there
and
I've
got
a
native
plant
garden
done.
Well,
I
I
I
don't
want
anybody
to
to
do
that.
B
Quite
so
much
because
you
know
when
looking
at
wildflower
packets,
I
looked
at
a
bunch
before
this
talk
and
the
number
one
plant
in
those
wildflower
packets
was
this
plant,
the
california
poppy.
B
I
will
give
you
a
hint
where
this
video,
but
it's
not
oklahoma,
and
so
the
california
poppy
does
not
do
very
well
in
oklahoma,
and
so
we
put
those
wildflower
packets
out
with
the
best
of
intentions,
but
we
don't
end
up
with
plants
that
do
well
here
and
so,
unless
you're
buying
from
a
reputable
source
that
is
oklahoma,
specific
native
plants.
I
would
I
would
discourage
you
from
just
planting
wildflower
packets,
because
there's
no
telling
what
is
really
in
them.
It
might
not
be
truly
native
to
oklahoma.
B
It
might
not
do
well
here
and
there's
also
the
potential
for
something
that
does
too
well
here
and
becomes
invasive
within
our
environment.
So
please
do
be
cautious,
with
wildflower
packets
now
to
do
some
research
and
to
maybe
check
where
what
kind
of
plants
do
I
plant
there
are
some
resources
and
I'll
share
those
with
you,
but
the
xersea
society
is
one
they
focus
on
invertebrate
conservation,
and
so
you
know
a
lot
of
our
pollinators
and
our
insects
and
things
like
that.
B
B
So
that's
a
place
that
we
can
go
to
find
some
hyper
local
oklahoma
type
native
plants
also
okies
for
monarchs.
This
is
a
great
organization
that
really
is
focused
on
monarch
conservation
and
helping
the
monarchs
have
that
successful
journey
as
they
migrate,
and
so
this
one
is
specific
to
monarch
butterflies,
but
it's
also
specific
to
oklahoma,
have
resources
on
what
to
plant
and
where
you
can
go
by,
so
they
update
their
nursery
lists
and
again
that's
specific
to
oklahoma.
B
So
it's
it's
very
local
and
then
I
don't
have
a
picture
of
it
here.
But
when
you
go
to
look
at
their
native
plant
lists,
they
have
it
broken
up
into
eastern,
western
and
central
oklahoma.
So
again,
it's
a
little
bit
more
tailored
to
the
hyper
local
level,
the
audubon
society,
if
you're,
very
passionate
about
birds-
and
you
like
to
have
birds
in
your
landscape,
you
can
go
in
to
the
audubon
society
put
in
your
zip
code
and
it
will
give
you
native
plants
for
birds
specific
to
your
zip
code,
so
very,
very
local.
B
They
have
a
plant
database
and
so
you
can
go
in
and
you
can
search
for
various
plants,
and
it
does
have
that
fourth
bullet
point:
there
will
give
you
the
native
range,
and
so
they,
while
not
all
of
their
plans
and
their
database
are
native.
They
will
tell
you
whether
or
not
it's
native
to
it'll
tell
you
it's
native
range
and
you
can
check
there
and
then
also
the
oklahoma
plant
database.
The
tricky
one
with
this
is
you
kind
of
have
to
know
what
you're
looking
for.
B
So
maybe
you
have
a
specific
plant
in
your
in
mind,
but
you're,
not
sure
if
it's
native
or
if
it's
found
specifically
in
your
county,
you
can
go
type
in
that
plant.
Name,
search
and
it'll.
Tell
you
whether
or
not
it's
been
found
in
your
county.
So
you
know
kind
of
using
those
larger
pollinator
lists.
B
You
can
fine
tune
it
a
little
bit
more
to
your
micro
climate
through
this
resource,
but
you
were
attending
a
native
plant,
webinar
and
you're
like
why
those
are
great
resources,
but
I
don't
want
to
have
to
go.
Do
all
the
work.
You
should
tell
me.
So
these
are
my
next
slides
what
okay!
But
what
do
I
plan,
and
so
we
will
start
with.
B
We
will
go
over
annuals
perennials
ornamental
grasses
and
then
I've
included
a
couple
trees
and
shrubs
that
are
better
adapted
that
are
adapted
to
our
landscape,
so
starting
with
annuals
annual
is
a
plant
that
we
do
have
to
plant
every
year.
So
it
completes
life
cycle
in
one
year.
Some
benefits
about
annuals
is
that
they
can
provide
consistent
color
through
our
throughout
the
year,
so
having
annuals
in
the
landscape.
You
know
kind
of
sort
of
provides
some
consistency
throughout
the
year.
B
They
tend
to
be
very
easy
to
grow
and
so
kind
of
a
great
thing
to
do
for
beginners,
but
they
do
reseed,
so
native
type,
annuals
are
are
very
prolific,
and
so,
while
they
may
complete
their
life
cycle
in
one
year
as
an
annual,
they
may
be
perennially
present
in
your
garden
by
reseeding,
and
that's
also
sort
of
something
to
consider
kind
of
a
cautionary
note.
B
When
planting
animal
pipes
is
that
you
know
if
they
do
reseed-
and
you
don't
want
quite
so
much
of
that
particular
plant-
you
may
have
to
go
in
and
do
a
little
bit
of
cleanup
at
the
beginning
of
the
season,
but
some
annuals
to
check
out
snow
on
the
mountain.
This
is
kind
of
it
gets
sort
of
almost
shrubby
like
in
appearance
and
the
flowers
are
insidific
insignificant,
but
it
is
particularly
selected
and
grown
for
its
foliage.
B
So
it
has
those
nice
white
bands
on
it
on
its
leaves,
it
is
a
euphorbia.
So
it's
closely
related
to
the
poinsettia.
So
you
know
kind
of
looking
at.
You
can
kind
of
tell
that
sort
of
by
looking
at
those
flowers
and
it
can.
It
does
have
a
milky
fat
so
almost
like
poinsettia
as
well.
It
does
have
that
milky
step
that
can
be
irritating,
and
so
it
does
tend
to
be
poisonous
to
to
livestock
or
maybe
some
pets
that
want
to
chew
on
it.
So
just
do
be
aware
of
that.
B
If
you,
if
you
want
to
plant
this
one
sneeze
weed,
it
is
a
very
prolific,
prolific
reseeder,
but
it
does
have
those
cute
little
buttons,
daisy-like
flowers
and
and
can
add
some
some
nice
yellow
color
to
to
the
landscape.
It
does
prefer
full
sun,
but
can
tolerate
some
shade
in
the
garden.
But
I
I've
seen
this
one
in
a
few
gardens
and
it
does
it
does
recede.
So,
just
as
a
cautionary
note,
it
will
be
perennially
present
in
your
garden
sunflowers
as
well.
B
There
are
many
varieties
and
different
subspecies
of
sunflowers
many
different
colors.
These
are
great
for
birds
as
those
feed
heads
develop
and
mature,
and
they
have
seeds
that
can
be
a
great
food
source
for
the
local
birds.
They
too
tend
to
get
fairly
tall.
This
is
a
great
one
to
kind
of
have
at
a
backdrop
or
maybe
along
the
pink
line,
not
maybe
one
so
much
to
plant
really
close
up
to
to
the
front
of
your
garden
and
passion.
Flower
passion.
Flower
is
a
strikingly
beautiful
flower,
very
unique
and
kind
of
exotic.
B
B
It
does
have
a
vining
habit,
and
so
it
can
be
kind
of
a
little
bit
weedy
in
a
way.
But
if
you
give
it
a
trellis
and
you
give
it
kind
of
some
support,
it
can
be
a
very
a
beautiful,
centerpiece
or
or
maybe
a
focal
point
in
your
garden,
though,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
gulf,
it
is
the
host
plant
for
gulf
free,
larry's
fritillaries.
B
I
have
a
hard
time
saying
that
word
for
to
larry
and
they,
but
they
do
they,
so
they
do
feed
on
it.
B
And
so
while
it
can
be
a
little
bit
weedy
and
can
get
be
a
little
bit
of
an
aggressive
grower,
the
caterpillar
should
keep
it
in
check
and
if
you
are
growing
the
common
type,
they
do
have
an
actual
edible
fruit,
the
passion
fruit,
and
so
that
can
be
kind
of
fun
too.
If
you
are
looking
to
to
add
some
edible
aspects
to
your
landscape.
B
I've
got
a
lot
more
perennials
available
or
a
lot
more
perennials
in
this
presentation,
because
it
tends
to
be
what,
when
planting
native
plants,
what
people
prefer,
because
they
kind
of
sort
of
tend
to
stay
a
little
bit
more
in
one
spot
and
aren't
so
quite
reseeding
all
over
the
place.
But
perennials
the
benefit
with
them
is
that
they
come
back
every
year.
So
they
have
they
complete
their
life
cycle
through
multiple
years
and
so
they'll
probably
go
dormant
in
the
fall
kind
of
with
that
first
freeze
and
re-emerge
in
the
springtime.
B
The
downside
to
perennials
is
that
they
do
tend
to
have
a
short
balloon
time.
So,
maybe
only
two
or
three
weeks,
depending
on
what
you're
planting
we
may
have
to
cut
them
back
or
deadhead
them
to
kind
of
sort
of
encourage
them
to
bloom
a
little
bit
more,
but
they
don't
so
much.
B
They
do
tend
to
have
a
shorter
balloon
period
than
the
annuals
they
but
kind
of
sort
of
the
the
flip
side
or
the
silver
lining
of
that
is
that
there's
a
transition
of
color
throughout
the
season.
So
you
know
you
might
have
more
yellow
type
plants
early
in
the
spring
and
maybe
more
purple
plants
in
the
summer
time
and
then
move
on
to
maybe
red
and
blues
in
the
fall,
and
so
you
can
kind
of
have
this
variation
throughout
the
year.
B
And
so
it's
always
something
changing,
always
something
to
look
forward
to
and
can
kind
of
be
a
very
fun
part
about
about
perennial
type
plants,
they're
also
movable.
So
they
you
can
you
know
if
you
put
it
somewhere
and
it
doesn't
it's
not
too
happy.
It
is
a
little
bit
better
adapted
to
being
dug
up
and
placed
somewhere
else.
Annuals
you
do
that
it
really
kind
of
shocks
them.
B
They
don't
have
time
to
recover
and
so
perennials
you
can
kind
of
sort
of
play
with
a
little
bit
until
you
get
it
just
right
in
just
the
way
you
like
it,
so
we'll
go
over
some
perennials
now,
starting
with
yarrow
yarrow
has
very
ferny-like
foliage
with
these
nice
sort
of.
I
don't
know,
I
think
it's
been
like
this
islands
of
yellow
or
or
various
colors
of
flowers.
B
They
come
in
a
lot
of
different
colors,
yellow
white
purple,
pink,
there's
all
sorts
of
varieties.
I
have
talked
to
a
couple
people
who
have
mentioned
and
tried
a
lot
of
the
varieties
that
really
it's
the
yellow
and
the
white
ones.
Those
are
the
more
native
types,
and
so
they
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
resilient,
but
this
is
going
to
be
a
plant
for
a
full
fun
area.
B
Arkansas
blue,
star
arkansas
blue
star
during
the
beginning
of
the
season
kind
of
where
it
gets
its
name.
Has
these
nice
light
pale
blue,
star-shaped
flowers
and
those
tend
to
fade
towards
the
end
of
the
season?
But
then
the
beautiful,
striking,
yellow,
orangey
fall.
Foliage
provides
some
interest
in
the
fall,
so
kind
of
a
double
one.
With
this
one,
where
we
get
the
flowers
and
the
fall
foliage
has
a
really
nice
sort
of
needle
wispy-like.
B
Foliage
kind
of
sort
of
moves
in
the
breeze
really
nicely
can
kind
of
add
some
movement
to
your
garden.
It
does
prefer
full
sun,
but
can
tolerate
a
little
bit
of
shade
as
well
eastern
red
columbine.
This
is
a
great
one
for
a
shady
area,
so
if
you
have
kind
of
a
dry
shade
spot,
this
plant
will
do
very
well.
B
It
has
these
nice
swirling,
ballerina
type,
flowers
that
tend
to
be
red
where
they
face
down,
and
the
plant
structure
itself
kind
of
tends
to
lead
towards
more
of
like
a
cottage
or
a
wildflower
type
garden.
If
that's
kind
of
the
look
you're
going
for,
and
so
a
great
one
for
a
shady
a
shady
native
garden
blue,
false
indigo.
This
one
has
these
purple
spikes
of
pea-like
flowers.
B
It
has
a
very
upright
habit
and
so
kind
of
a
good
medium
type
plant
to
sort
of
put
behind
some
ground
covers
in
your
garden.
It
does
bloom
earlier
in
this
summer,
but
as
it
blooms
and
after
it
blooms,
it
will
produce
some
seed
pods
and
those
seed
pods
provide
some
nice
form
and
some
nice
texture
throughout
the
following
season.
B
B
It's
an
excellent
ground
cover
with
these
very
deep
cup,
shaped
flowers,
kind
of
where
it
gets
the
name,
but
it's
like
I
mentioned
the
great
ground
cover,
doesn't
get
too
tall
and
can
be
a
great
one
to
use
in
the
front
portion
of
your
garden,
coreopsis,
a
very
popular,
a
very
popular
plant
for
native
and
wildflower
gardens.
It's
an
early
summer
bloomer,
but
kind
of
sort
of
continues
to
bloom.
B
If
you
deadhead
it
and
cut
it
back,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
varieties,
a
lot
of
them
you'll,
see
mostly
yellow,
but
with
some
shades
of
red
or
brown
within
the
center
of
that
flower
and
so
kind
of
a
lot
of
options
there.
It
does
tend
to
reseed
realistically
kind
of
like
an
annual
and
so
just
a
cautionary
note
with
that
one,
a
good
one
that
will
kind
of
maybe
fill
in
some
of
those
spots,
those
empty
spots.
For
you,
a
great.
B
A
B
Of
in
like
a
low
spot,
it's
probably
not
going
to
do
very
well,
but
full
fun
well
drained,
should
do
great
carolina.
Larkspur
has
these
very
slender
kind
of
smaller,
upright
little
flowers
that
are
really
attractive
to
to
bees
and
just
some
of
the
smaller
pollinators
kind
of
a
white
to
pale
blue
flower.
This
one
is
an
earlier
bloomer,
so
great
for
the
bees
as
they
they
become.
B
They
start
to
come
out
early
and
then
also
for
your
hummingbirds,
so
hummingbirds
tend
to
like
trumpet
or
tube
shaped
flowers,
so
any
plant
that
you
provide.
That
kind
of
has
sort
of
that
flower
structure
to
it
is
really
great
for
hummingbirds
bundle
flower,
this
one's
kind
of
a
unique
one.
B
It's
got
these
sort
of
interesting
looking
brown
seed
pods
that
kind
of
sort
of
have
a
very
unique
form
to
them
kind
of
almost
look
like
a
flower
in
a
way,
but
they've
also
got
a
mimosa
very
ferny
like
foliage,
so
a
very
unique
kind
of
interesting,
interesting
plants
easiest
to
grow
this
one
from
seed.
So
if
you've
got
a
friend
who
has
some
fun
to
flower
go
say,
hey
can
I
borrow
some
of
this
and
plant
it
out
that
way.
B
B
But
just
just
a
note,
there
purple
coneflower
again
a
very,
very
popular
plant,
maybe
kind
of
what
we
tend
to
think
of
when
we
think
of
native
plants
and
the
first
one
that
our
mind
goes
to,
but
our
either
classic
native
type
has
that
orange
sort
of
center
kind
of
a
rough
center
with
the
purple
with
the
purple
rays
the
purple
petals
along
the
edge.
B
So
I
mentioned
that
purple
one,
but
there
are
oranges
and
blue
or
not
blues,
I'm
sorry,
oranges
and
reds
and
whites
that
do
that
do
pretty
well.
The
most
resilient
is
kind
of
a
more
native
type
with
the
purple
flowers,
but
it's
always
fun
to
try
and
add
in
some
other
varieties,
rattlesnake
master.
This
was,
I
believe,
chosen
as
of
the
oklahoma
proven
perennial
of
2020.
A
B
Sort
of
resembles
a
yucca
as
it
as
it
begins
to
grow,
and
it
sends
off
these
unique.
Looking
ball
shaped
flowers,
and
these
ball
shaped
flowers
are
very
attractive
to
all
kinds
of
insects,
and
so,
if
you're
looking
to
bring
in
some
beneficials,
or
maybe
some
some
other
types
of
insects
to
your
landscape,
to
kind
of
really
boost
the
ecosystem
in
that
spot.
B
Winter
interest,
and
so,
if
you
don't
cut
it
back
and
you
let
it
kind
of
sort
of
dry
out
at
the
end
of
the
season,
it
will
maintain
that
height
and
that
form
and
kind
of
sort
of
gives
you
something
to
look
at,
as
maybe
a
lot
of
the
other
plants
begin
to
begin
to
go
dormant
and
beneath
the
soil,
so
kind
of
sort
of
provide
provides
the
eye
something
to
look
at
blanket
flower.
This
is
our
state
wildflower,
so
a
very
popular
one
as
well.
B
It
is
very
drought,
tolerant,
so
much
so
that
it
really
does
not
do
well
with
a
lot
of
water
so
again
a
low
spot
or
even
a
year
where
we
have
a
lot
of
rain
and
it
kind
of
sits
in
that
water.
It's
not
going
to
like
that.
So
much
so
tend
to
really
like
that
well-drained
soil
and,
of
course,
a
great
butterfly
plant
as
well
prairie
blazing
star.
I
really
like
this
one
has
these
very
tall:
spikes
of
purple
purple
flowers
with
a
very
needle-like
foliage.
B
B
This
is
one
that,
if
you
take
too
good
of
care
of
it,
it
will
fall
over,
and
so,
if
it's
over
water
or
over
fertilized,
it's
gonna
grow
up
so
much,
but
it
starts
to
flop
over
and
so
do
be
careful
with
that,
because
you
know
when
we're
going
after
a
native
landscape,
where
it's
low
maintenance,
we
don't
want
to
have
to
stake
up
our
perennials.
B
So
just
a
note
on
that,
one
that
don't
baby
it
too
much
spotted
b-bomb
and
I
believe,
okay
from
monarchs
lists
this
as
one
of
their
cops
implants
for
monarchs
within
the
within
the
state
but
kind
of
has
these
nice
interesting
tail
pink
flowers.
B
It
is
very
upright
and
so
kind
of
very
spiky
in
a
way,
so
kind
of
an
interesting
form
form
to
it.
That
way,
it
does
spread
by
runners,
but
tends
not
to
be
too
aggressive.
B
If,
in
an
area
where
it's
not
getting
too
much
too
much
love
evening
primrose,
this
is
one
they
kind
of
tend
to
open
in
the
evening
with
these
sort
of
yellow
flowers,
pale,
yellow
flowers,
bees
really
do
do
like
evening
primrose
and
moths
as
well,
which
they're
nocturnal,
so
they
kind
of
like
those
evening
type
flowers
that
open
around
dusk.
B
There
are
a
couple
different
forms
or
varieties
that
you
can
get,
maybe
one
with
more
of
an
upright
and
then
also
one
with
more
of
a
trailing,
so
kind
of
can
serve
different
roles
in
the
landscape,
prickly
pear,
if
you
like
cactus.
B
This
is
really
your
best
option
in
oklahoma,
a
lot
of
the
cactus
that
are
more
native
to
the
west.
They
we
get
a
little
bit
too
much
rain
for
them,
and
so
prickly
pear
is
better
adapted
to
the
amount
of
rain
that
we
get
they.
You
know
it's
a
cactus,
so
some
of
the
varieties
are
going
to
have
spines,
and
so
just
consider
that
you
know
if
you've
got
little
people
or
dogs
or
anyone
who
runs
out
into
your
landscape.
B
There
are
some
spineless
varieties
available,
so
that's
also
another
option,
but
if
you
do
get
a
spiny
type
be
very,
very
careful
and
strategic
on
where
you
plant
it,
because
it
can
also
get
very
large,
so
it
can
get
very
large.
It
can
take
over
an
area
and
when
it's
spiky,
it's
not
a
whole
lot
of
fun
to
get
in
there
and
try
and
pull
sort
of
any
weeds
or
unnecessarily
unnecessary
plants
in
that
spot.
B
So
do
be
careful
and
strategic
on
where
you
put
this
one,
especially
if
you
grow
the
spiny
type
mexican
hat
another
one
another
native,
that
kind
of
has
that
sort
of
daisy-like
daisy-like
flower.
This
is
another
one,
that's
very
easy
to
start
from
seeds,
probably
easier
to
start
from
seeds,
so
look
for
a
seed
packet
rather
than
maybe
a
plant
within
the
garden
center
as
a
summer,
bloomer
likes
full
sun.
B
B
Blue
azure
sage,
this
one
has
those
tubular
type
shaped
flowers,
and
so
I
think
that
means
to
say
april
to
july
is
when
they
appear
not
july
to
april,
but
the
the
blue
fires
will
appear,
I
kind
of
tended
earlier
in
the
spring.
It
does
get
tend
to
get
very
tall
and
a
little
bit
gangly.
B
B
I've
seen
it
get
to
about
eight
eight
to
nine
feet
tall,
so
definitely
one
for
the
back
of
the
garden,
maybe
along
the
fence
line,
but
a
great
one
for
butterflies
and
bees
as
well
and
so
very,
very
prolific
bloomer,
and
so
those
those
insects
will
go
after
it
and
it's
called
compass
plant.
I
think
this
is
interesting,
but
because
the
leaves
tend
to
orient
north
to
south
and
so
because
they
orient
that
way.
It
got
the
nickname
compass
plant
goldenrod
a
goldenrod.
B
Has
these
a
very
prolific
bloomer,
with
small
little
yellow
flowers,
to
kind
of
create
these
plumes,
and
this
one
is
a
very
late
bloomer,
so
it
blooms
more
towards
the
fall
more
during
the
later
season,
and
so
it's
a
very
important
food
source
for
the
insects
before
they
go
into
hibernation
and
so
selecting
having
diverse
plants
and
plants
that
bloom
at
diverse
times,
that's
very
important
and
and
there's
less
food
sources,
the
closer
we
get
to
winter,
and
so
this
is
one
that
can
provide
that
nice
little
boost
before
before
we
reach
the
hibernation
period.
B
This
one
is
often
confused
for
ragweed.
I
think
I
saw
an
allergy
commercial,
the
other
day
that
had
a
picture
of
goldenrod
in
the
background,
and
I
was
so
mad
because
this
is
not
ragweed.
This
does
not
cause
allergies,
and
so,
if
that's
a
concern
to
you,
please
don't
be
scared
of
this
plant
aromatic
aster.
This
one
has
a
sort
of
very
spiny,
almost
looking
purple
purple
flowers,
you
can
see
there
in
the
picture.
B
It
does
tolerate
a
little
bit
of
shade,
but
can
prefer
full
sun
and
is
a
a
great
host
plant
for
mini
moths,
but
other
insects
as
well
and
so
kind
of
those
nice
sprays
of
flowers
are
very
easy
for
the
insects
to
walk
on,
and
so
we
end
up
with
with
them
being
able
to
to
come
and
feast
upon
that
that
nice,
pollen
buffet,
if
you
will
okay,
black
eyed
susan,
another
very
popular
daisy-like,
wildflower
kind
of
plant,
typically
yellow
with
a
with
a
brown
center,
it
can
be
relatively
short-lived.
B
These
are
I've
heard
these
referred
to
as
short-lived
perennials,
so
they
might
only
last
two
or
three
years,
but
they,
but
it
will
really
recede.
So
if
you,
if
you
plant
the
more
native
types
so
planting
those
re-seeding,
those
types
can
help
it
stay
and
exist
in
the
landscape
for
longer.
B
This
would
be
another
one
to
deadhead
to
make
sure
to
go
in
and
cut
the
flowers
that
have
been
spent
and
are
kind
of
sort
of
starting
to
fade
to
promote
it
to
bloom
throughout
the
season.
So
you
can
extend
the
bloom
season
if
you
go
in
and
deadhead
the
spent
flowers
giant
coneflower,
a
very
close
relative
of
coneflower
except
giant.
It
gets
very
large
up
to
five
to
six
feet.
Tall
has
a
kind
of
more
of
a
grayish
green
color
to
the
foliage.
So
that's
kind
of
unique.
B
You
can
kind
of
see
in
that
picture
there
as
compared
to
the
plants
surrounding
it.
The
foliage
adds
sort
of
a
unique
color
and
some
interest
as
well.
If
we
do
go
through
a
kind
of
unseasonably
droughty
period,
it
can
start
to
decline.
So
you
may
choose
to
supply
some
supplemental
irrigation
to
this
one,
but
it
tends
to
kind
of
come
back
as
we
get
those
rains
and
also
as
a
great
one
for
pollinators
as
well.
B
American
germander.
This
is
a
a
clump
forming
a
member
of
the
mint
family.
So
so
it
tends
to
kind
of
spread
and
fill
out.
An
area
has
these
very
showy
white
purple
flowers,
kind
of
almost
look
like
a
slipper,
but
you
know
kind
of
that:
tubular
shape
that
that's
great
for
those
bees
and
those
hummingbirds.
B
It
does
tolerate
some
poorly
drained
soil,
so
don't
have
to
to
amend
it
quite
so
much
or
or
be
so
selective
about
where
you
put
it,
can
kind
of
handle
those
more
low
spots
and
can
also
tolerate
some
shade.
So
it's
a
good
one
for
those
kinds
of
locations.
B
Blue
jacket,
blue
jacket,
is
a
conforming.
It's
a
also
called
tradiskancha,
gets
about
three
feet
tall
and
has
these
very
kind
of
unique,
almost
world
type
flower
clusters.
B
I
think
it
kind
of
looks,
unique
and
adds
a
very
interesting
form
and
texture
to
the
garden,
and
it
also
has
blue
flowers,
and
so
blue
flowers
aren't
quite
as
common.
We
don't
get
to
play
with
that
color
palette
too
often
in
the
garden,
but
this
is
one
where
you
can
bring
some
blue
in.
B
Verbena
a
very
popular
plant
that
we've
been
planting
in
the
garden
for
a
long
time
is
actually
kind
of
is
actually
native
to
our.
A
B
There
are
two
perennial
varieties
that
are
pretty
easy
to
find
in
the
nursery
centers.
I
believe
it's
called
homestead
purple
and
homestead
red,
so
those
are
two
great
perennial
options.
It
is
a
ground
cover,
so
one
to
sort
of
cut
towards
the
front
of
your
your
garden
to
kind
of
fill
out
some
space.
There
are
other
colors
available
of
verbena,
but
those
tend
to
be
more
annual
pipes,
not
quite
as
resilient
as
some
of
those
more
native
types.
A
B
B
B
Most
of
these
are
are
perennial
and
they're
very
adapted
to
drought,
tolerant
conditions,
so
they
have
nice
deep
root
systems
that
make
them
just
more
resilient
to
the
weather
conditions
that
we
have
a
great
thing
too
about
ornamental
grasses
is
that
they
provide
some
winter
interest.
So,
as
we
have
a
breeze,
it
will
maintain
its
structure,
maintain
its
form
and
kind
of
add
some
some
interest
in
the
garden.
Also
nice,
as
we
get
winds,
can
kind
of
add
that
rustling
noise
sort
of
add
some
kind
of
a
nice
element
to
the
garden.
B
These
are
also
very
easy
to
divide
and
replant.
So
if
you
have
one,
you
grow
up
for
a
couple
of
seasons,
you
can
divide
it
plant,
it
back
out,
give
it
to
your
friends
and
so
kind
of
something
you
can
do
with
with
your
ornamental
graphics,
and
thinking
too,
you
know
about
us,
you
know
we
I'm
we're
kind
of
sort
of
on
the
the
cusp
of
the
cross,
timbers
and
the
great
prairie
or
the
great
plains.
B
Grasses
are
a
very
important
part
of
our
ecosystem,
and
so
that's
why
I
give
them
their
own
category
is
because
we
should.
We
should
really
try
to
incorporate
some
ornamental
grasses
into
our
landscape,
so
starting
with
big
bluestem
gets
its
name
from
kind
of
the
bluish
reddish
purplish
appearance
that
it
has
really
kind
of
a
nice
unique
foliage,
color,
it's
relatively
tall,
so
it's
a
great
for
kind
of
a
background.
B
So
if
you
have
a
background
point
flowers
in
front
of
that,
that
can
be
very,
very
nice,
and
this
one
does
need
to
be
cut
back
in
the
spring,
for
new
growth
and
big
blue
stem
is
a
very
important
native
native
prairie
plant
and
so
kind
of
really
really
does
play
an
important
role
in
the
ecosystem.
B
Purple
three
on
this
one
has
kind
of
a
unique
looking
seed
head
with
these
sort
of
purplish
brilliant
branches.
So
when
the
light
catches
it
just
right,
it's
it's
real.
Almost
a
purpley
iridescent
type
color
tends
to
stay
a
bit
smaller
and
so
maybe
kind
of
a
better
one
for
edging
or
or
a
border.
B
It
does
have
a
a
very
deep
root
system,
which
makes
it
good
for
erosion
control.
So
if
you
have
a
slope,
it's
something
that
you
can
complain
to
really
help
with
runoff
or
anything
like
that,
and
then
the
seeds
are
attractive
to
birds,
and
so
that's
that's
true
for
a
lot
of
these
ornamental
grasses
is
that
the
birds
will
really
go
after
a
lot
of
those
feedbacks,
especially
in
the
wintertime
side.
Oats
grandma
gets
to
about
two
and
a
half
feet.
B
Tall
kind
of
has
a
very
spiky
type
flower
flower
structure,
with
an
oat
like
seed
kind
of
sort
of
starts
to
hang
from
them
almost
looks
like
fish
on
a
pole,
or
so,
if
you
say,
bluish
gray,
which
might
be
fleas,
usually
found
growing
with
little
bluestem
another
another
prairie
plant,
prairie
grass,
but
it
does
not
compete
very
well
with
those
taller
ornamental
grasses.
So
you
know
with
something
that
gets
relatively
tall.
B
It
probably
needs
to
be
stand
alone,
kind
of
maybe
more
of
a
focal
point
than
sort
of
intermixed
with
other
grasses.
B
Blue
grama
and
I've
also
heard
this
one
called
mosquito
grass
and
you
can
kind
of
understand
why
it
sort
of
almost
looks
like
a
form
of
mosquitoes
but
like
in
a
good
way.
I
mean
not
not
in
a
bad
way
and
really
when
the
wind
catches
it.
It
really
moves
and
has
a
lot
of
movement
to
to
it.
But
it
has
these
tufted
charge.
B
True
seed
heads
sort
of
kind
of
give
some
contrast
to
the
to
the
foliage,
which
is
bluish
gray
most
of
the
year,
but
turns
golden
brown
in
the
fall
northern
sea
oats.
This
is
going
to
be
one
of
our
more
shade,
tolerant
ornamental
grasses.
So
if
you
have
a
shady
area,
it's
a
good
option
do
be
cautious
with
this
one,
because
it
is
an
aggressive
reseeder
and
so
those
little
seed
heads
are
they're
very
interesting
and
they
they
add
a
lot
of
interest
and
texture
to
the
garden.
B
But
if
you're
concerned
about
them
spreading,
it's
a
good
idea
to
remove
those
before
it
starts
releasing
those
into
your
into
your
landscape,
because
it
can
really
take
over
love
grass.
This
one
has
a
very
fine
foliage,
almost
sort
of
looks
like
a
misty,
misty
type
spray,
very
whimsical
kind
of
catches,
the
wind
really
nicely
since
it's
so
so
misty.
This
is
another
one
that
has
a
very
dense
root
system
and
is
good
for
erosion
control
that
does
require
full
sun
switchgrass.
B
There
are
many
varieties
of
switchgrass
coming
out,
really
kind
of
a
lot
of
work,
going
into
different
colors
and
different
textures
and
different
forms,
and
it's
also
a
very
important
class
for
our
ecosystem.
So
definitely
one
to
check
out.
I
also
kind
of
think
it
has
more
of
a
modern
form
to
it,
and
so
maybe
if
you
are
going
for
more
of
a
a
formal
type
garden,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
modern.
B
This
would
be
one
that
would
look
very
nice
kind
of
in
rows
sort
of
planted
as
a
as
a
screen.
I
have
that
in
the
slide,
actually
that
planted
as
a
screen,
because
it
will
fill
in
nicely
and
kind
of
maintain
that
very
vasel
type
form
little
blue
stem
very
bluish
gray
upright,
but
does
develop
a
nice
red
tan
color
in
the
fall.
B
B
Indian
grass.
This
is
another
one
that
is
very
important
to
our
local,
our
local
ecosystem.
That
has
tends
to
be
a
little
bit
taller
with
these
golden
brown
plumes.
B
Okay,
moving
on
to
trees
and
shrubs-
I
I
will
say
the
the
list
of
trees
and
shrubs
I
do
have
is-
is
not
an
exhaustive
list.
It
is.
There
are
lots
of
available.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
for
you
today,
but
trees
and
shrubs
are
a
very
important
component
of
our
landscape.
They
really
sort
of
add
some
structure
and
some
anchor,
because
you
know
they
will
in
the
wintertime
they
maintain
their
woody
appearance
and
provide
that
really
kind
of
height
and
sort
of
permanence
to
the
garden.
B
A
very
important
role
of
trees
and
straws
is
providing
habitat
for
birds
and
so
birds.
They
like
to
you,
know,
they'll
start
to
feed,
but
they
like
to
have
somewhere.
They
can
go
back
very
quickly
if
they
feel
threatened
and
so
having
sort
of
a
mass
planting
of
trees
and
shrubs
a
few
feet
away
from
where
you
maybe
have
a
bird
feeder
or
a
lot
of
plants
that
provide
food
for
that
bird.
B
So
just
a
couple,
trees
and
straws
that
I
want
to
highlight
so
starting
with
cattle
sugar
maple.
I
have
a
very
dense,
rounded
crown
a
great
tree
for
a
statement
in
the
front
of
your
lawn
kind
of
as
a
shade
tree
and
then
does
have
a
good
fall
foliage.
This
one
does
is
very
susceptible
to
root,
rot
and
other
issues
with
soggy
soils.
B
B
This
is
more
of
a
shrub,
it's
kind
of
more
of
an
understory
plant,
but
it
has
these
very
attractive,
purple
fruits
that
appear
in
fall
and
those
will
persist
through
early
winter,
so
great
for
birds
to
go,
eat
that
fruit
and
then
kind
of
nice
to
add
some
color
in
the
late
fall.
So
you
know
it's
sort
of
a
time
where
the
garden
feels
like
it's
shutting
down
so
to
have
a
nice
pop
of
color
is
very
refreshing,
especially
this
time
of
year.
B
I
mentioned
it's
kind
of
an
understory
plant,
so
it
does
like
full
sun,
but
can
really
tolerate
filtered
shades.
So
maybe,
if
you've
got
it
underneath
the
tree
or
maybe
on
the
side
of
the
house
where
it
gets
some
shade,
it'll
do
just
fine.
There
are
also
white
cultivars
available.
So
if
purple's,
not
your
color
and
you're
more
more
prepared
white,
those
cultivars
are
available
as
well
half
berry.
A
B
At
that-
and
it
does
have
these
little
very
light
groups
and
those
are
very
attracted
to
birds
and
so
a
great
tree
if
you're
looking
to
bring
in
some
birds
red
bud.
This
is
our
speed
tree.
A
very
good
drought,
tolerant
plant
does
tend
to
stay
a
bit
smaller
than
a
lot
of
those
other
big
shade
tree
types.
So
if
you
have
a
very
small
lawn
and
you
need
to
have
a
tree,
this
is
a
great
option
and
then
kind
of
just
a
fun
fact.
B
I
like
to
point
this
out,
but
it
does
bloom
on
old
wood,
and
so
that's
really
why
it's
such
a
prolific
bloomer
and
we
get
so
much
purple,
but
you
also
might
see
the
occasional
bloom
on
the
trunk.
That's
what
my
bottom
picture
is.
There
desert
willow
desert
willow
has
very
needle-like
foliage
with
these
pinkish
type
flowers.
B
I've
seen
this
one
kind
of
planted
a
lot,
maybe
underneath
power
lines,
because
it
does
tend
to
stay
pretty
small.
I
don't
have
to
go
in
there
and
and
trim
back
out
that
tree
quite
as
much
but
again
this
is
another
one
where,
if
you're
in
maybe
a
low
spot
or
your
soil
just
tends
to
take
pretty
soggy,
it
would
not
do
very
well
in
that
spot,
roughly
dogwood.
B
This
is
a
thicket.
Forming
strap
grows
to
about
six
to
15
feet.
Tall
can
be
a
little
bit
aggressive,
but
if
you
prune
it
kind
of
stay
on
top
of
it,
it
will
do
do
pretty
well.
B
But
has
these
nice
sort
of
clusters
of
white
flowers
from
may
to
june
so
kind
of
a
source
for
for
bees
and
pollinators,
and
then
some
it
does
form
kind
of
a
fruit
later
in
the
season
which
can
provide
food
for
birds,
carolina
buxorn,
another
sort
of
smallish
type
tree
that
grows
to
about
10
to
15
feet.
A
very
shiny,
bright,
green
leaf
kind
of
almost
looks
like
a
holly,
but
those
red
fruit
will
swim
black
as
the
weather,
cools
and
so
kind
of.
B
The
the
show
here
it's
the
fruit
deciduous
holly,
also
sometimes
referred
to
as
possum.
This
is
a
native
holly
that
we
have
to
our
area
so
provides
those
nice
red,
berries
but
kind
of
the
unique
one
about
this.
One
too,
is
that
it
actually
drops
leaves
so
it's
not
evergreen,
but
it
holds
on
to
the
fruit,
and
so
you
end
up
with
this
nice
spray
of
red,
buried.
B
Oh
sage
orange.
This
is
kind
of
a
more
medium
deciduous
tree.
These
were
kind
of
historically
planted
a
lot
of
times
on
homesteads
as
wind
breaks,
and
so
you
might
see
them
out
in
fields
or
something
like
that,
but
a
lot
of
times
we
recognize
them,
often
more
so
for
their
their
fruit,
which
are
these
very
large
hedge,
sometimes
called
hedge
apples.
B
But
this
fruit
can
be
messy,
I
will
say,
but
there
are
daish
osage
orange
is
dioecious,
which
is
to
mean
that
there
are
male
and
female
varieties.
B
So
if
you
get
the
male
form
of
the
osage
orange,
you
won't
have
to
deal
with
the
fruit
mulberry
another
one
that
can
kind
of
be
a
little
bit
messy.
With
some
fruit,
I
will
say
I
I
lived
in
a
house
that
had
a
mulberry
tree
over
the
driveway.
That
was
a
little
bit
rough.
B
Car,
but
it's
all
good,
but
they
do
have
these
blackberry-like
fruits,
that
taste
actually
pretty
much
like
blackberries,
but
not
only
can
we
eat
them,
but
the
birds
like
them
as
well
so.
B
One
to
plant
over
a
sidewalk
or
a
road
or
your
driveway,
but
if
you
have
sort
of
an
area,
maybe
in
the
backyard
where
you
can
devote
some
some
area
to
to
this
tree,
if
that
would
be
a
great
spot,
this
one's
also
diocese.
So
if
you
get
the
mail
form,
you
don't
have
to
deal
with
the
fruit
oaks.
There
are
several
species
of
oaks
that
are
native
to
to
oklahoma.
B
So
oaks
are
a
very
common,
but
for
a
good
reason
plant
in
our
area,
mexican,
plum
mexican.
A
A
B
Tree
but
they
bloom
profusely
very
early
in
the
season
with
a
white
flower,
so
I
tend
to
recommend
this
one
if
you're
looking
to
get
rid
of
your
bride
for
pears,
but
are
still
looking
for
a
nice
springtime
white
flower.
This
is
a
great
one
to
to
add
in
as
well
and
it's
great
for
it
for
early
season
pollinators
who
are
looking
for
a
food
source,
fragrant
sumac.
This
one
is
a
dense
flowing
low,
growing
shrub.
B
It
can
be
a
little
aggressive
because
it
spreads
by
suckers,
and
so
maybe
just
don't
take
too
good
care
of
it.
But
some
positives
about
this
plant
is
that
it
does
have
a
very
beautiful
red
fall
foliage,
and
so
that
can
provide
some
good
interest
and
and
the
male
flowers
too.
You
can
see
them
in
that
picture
in
the
bottom.
B
B
And
then
the
flower
clusters
provide
some
interest
as
well,
and
then
those
flower
flower
clusters
are
filled
with
seeds,
which
are
great
for
birds,
and
it
does
have
that
nice
reddish
fall
foliage,
okay.
So
that
brings
me
to
the
end
of
the
trees
and
trunks
that
I
want
to
highlight
today,
and
I
just
kind
of
want
to
we're
getting
to
the
end
of
the
talk,
and
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
wrap
up
with
some
take-home
points
and
so
native
plants.
They
have
many
benefits.
B
B
Many
pollinators
are
in
decline
and
this
having
native
plants
can
help
also
provides
food
for
wildlife,
so
bird,
anything
like
that
can
be
a
great
food
source
for
them
and
they're
also
better
adapted
for
our
environment,
and
so
not
only
does
that
mean
that
they're
less
work.
It
also
means
that
it
takes
less
inputs
and,
if
you
have
less
inputs,
that's
a
less
money
that
you
have
to
put
into
your
landscape.
B
When
you
go
to
plant
your
native
landscape,
consider
the
ecosystem.
Consider
the
microclimate
consider
what
conditions
your
landscape
has
and
keep
that
in
mind
as
you
design
your
native
plant
garden,
and
there
are
many
native
plants
like
I
said
there
are
lots
of
great
native
plants
check
out
those
resources
I
provide.
B
B
If
you
are
aware
of
any
others
or
maybe
you're
in
another
part
of
the
state-
and
you
want
to
to
give
a
shout
out
to
your
local
native
plant
nursery.
Please
do
that,
put
that
in
the
chat
to
share
with
others,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
these
two
because
they're
too
unaware
of
and
then
a
quick
shameless
plug
for
a
couple
of
osu
resources.
B
It's
recently
been
revamped,
and
so
you
can
go
in
there
search
for
whatever
topic
you're
interested
in
so
maybe,
if
you're
more
interested,
say
in
fall,
gardening
or
soil
amendments
go
in
there
and
it'll
pull
up
all
of
our
fact
sheets
and
resources
related
to
that
topic.
So
go
check
that
out.
There's
a
lot
to
a
lot
to
check
out
in
that
database
and
then
I
would
love
if
you
would
follow
my
program
on
social
media.
So
we
have
a
facebook
page
for
cleveland,
county
and
horticulture
and
then
also
an
instagram
as
well.
B
So
we
post
on
our
facebook
page
our
garden
tips,
maybe
if
something's
coming
a
lot
in
the
office.
If
we've
seen
a
lot
of
spider
mites,
come
in
we'll
post
that
and
say
hey
we're,
seeing
a
lot
of
this
be
on
the
lookout
and
then
we'll
also
post
some
of
the
webinars.
B
Well,
we've
been
having
webinars
for
the
past
six
months
or
so,
but
just
some
of
the
events
that
we're
having,
but
if
you're,
not
in
cleveland
county
you're,
so
welcome
to
follow
me,
but
also
check
out,
check
and
see
if
your
local
county
extension
office
has
social
media
pages,
because
they'll
be
posting
events
that
are
particularly
local
to
you.
I
don't
definitely
know
oklahoma
county
has
a
very
active
social
media
presence,
so
check
them
out
as
well.
Thank
you
and
I
will
take
any
questions
that
you
have.
B
I
appreciate
you
all
joining
me
joining
me
this
morning.
A
A
Right
I've
had
a
couple
of
questions
come
in.
Let's
see
the
first
question.
B
B
For
shade,
definitely
definitely
that
red
columbine
plant
that
we
talked
to
eastern
red
columbine.
That
does
well
and
is
probably
one
of
my
favorites.
B
I
think
I
probably
I
tend
to
focus
maybe
on
the
the
fun
types
today,
because
the
fun
types
are
going
to
be
more
adapted
to
dry
and
water
conservation
conditions.
So
I
apologize,
I
should
definitely
add
more
shade
plants
to
this
talk
quite.
A
Often,
and
probably
one
of
the
most
popular
workshops
that
we
posted
is,
you
know,
shade
plants,
especially
for
water
conservation,
because
people.
A
Trees,
but
we
also
want
to
be
able
to
enjoy
native
plants.
I
think
underneath
the
shade
of
that
canopy
brian
also
mentions
that
blue
mist.
A
Choice
for
shade:
let's
see
another.
B
Columbine
seeds,
I
I
apologize-
I
personally
haven't
planted
it
from
seed.
I
know
that
if
you're
purchasing
it
from
a
landscape,
it
would
probably
be
better
adapted
to
to
this
to
this
to
a
spring
type
planting
but
of
course,
planting
and
fall
too
kind
of
gives
it
time
to
get
adapted
to
to
the
surrounding
landscape.
B
A
Question-
and
I
think
both
you
and
I
could
probably
answer
it,
do
you
think
there
are
any
educational
programs
that
are
making
positive
impacts
for
helping
homeowners
or
even
developers
choose
or
replace
with
natives
to
help
build
our
environment?
A
She
loves
having
to
love
a
large
plant
with,
and
I
can
tell
you
kayla
that
you
know
with
the
city
of
oklahoma
city.
We
have
our
water
conservation
programs,
we
work
with
both
homeowner
associations
and
neighborhoods,
along
with
individual
residents,
to
help
kind
of
that
built
environment,
and
we
also
have
a
plant
database
on
our
website.
So
you
can
just
go
to
squeezeeverydrop.com
and
go
to
our
plant
database
and
you
can
search
it
through
there.
B
All
right
gosh,
I
hope
so
I
hope
the
programming
is
helping.
I
know
we've
had
some
conversations
with
homeowners
and
and
particularly
sometimes
in
neighborhoods,
where
a
lot
of
the
top
soil
has
been
scraped
off
and
you're
really
dealing
with
very
poor
soil
and
so
a
lot
of
times
in
those
neighborhoods.
We
really
try
to
encourage
native
plants.
B
You
know
the
first
year
they're
going
to
be
kind
of
rough,
but
those
native
plants
are
are
really
going
to
help
build
that
soil
back
up,
and
so
that's
something
I
see
a
lot
of
times
where
we
have
those
conversations
of
you
know.
I
I
just
bought
this
house.
I
built
this
house.
I
don't
think
I
have
any
soil
in
my
yard,
and
so
we
start
having
conversations
about
native
plants
to
try
and
help
build
that
soil.
A
Back
up,
I
live
in
a
newer,
build
edition,
and
you
know
dealing
with
that.
Compacted
red
clay
has
been
a
real
pain
in
the
rear
and
so
trying
to
even
get
a.
B
A
That
is
happy
and
healthy
for
our
pets
and
kayla
agrees
with
what
is
being
said,
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
just
have
to
make
those
small
incremental
changes.
I
like
there's
a
one
of
the
guys
from
the
oklahoma
county,
a
conservation
district.
A
You
know
always
ask
the
question:
what
is
the
one
thing
you
can
do
to
improve
your
soil,
to
improve
your
that
lived
environment
and-
and
I
think,
if
we
just
kind
of
live
with
that
mentality
of
you
know,
what's
one
thing
I
can
do
this
season
to
make
that
change
that
planting
pollinators?
Is
it
adding
organic
matter
to
my
landscape?
A
B
Now
yeah,
I,
when
I
recommend
with
the
city
of
norman
compost,
absolutely
get
it
I'm
so
happy.
We
have
that
resource
to
our
residents
to
the
city
of
norman
residents,
but
I
tend
to
don't
plant
into
it
right
right
away.
It
kind
of
needs
a
little
bit
of
time.
B
There's
some,
the
nitrogen
within
that
compost,
isn't
quite
totally
finished,
and
so
sometimes
just
applying
it
straight
to
plants
can
be
a
little
a
little
shocking
but
absolutely
get
it
hold
on
to
it
kind
of
finish
it
off
a
little
bit
in
your
in
your
composting
facility
and
then
begin
slowly,
adding
it
in,
and
so
I
know
with
a
with
a
citywide
compost.
We
don't
really
have
any
control
over
what
goes
into
that,
and
so
I
kind
of
always
recommend
you
know.
A
Recommend
going
to
the
website,
ok,
compostconference.org
and
that
is
currently
going
on
through
the
month
of
october,
and
there
are
weekly
presentations
happening
around
the
compact,
the
compost
conversations
and
they
have
a
lot
of
resources
on
that
website.
Again,
that
was
ok,
compostconference.org
and
I
believe
their
next
presentation
is
tomorrow.
I
think
so.
Yeah
keep
if.
A
In
that
compost,
according
when
you're
saying
to
pat
that
she
needs
to
finish,
it
help
finish
it
whenever
she
brings
it
home.
What
would
that
entail?
What
would
that
entail
for
someone
that.
B
I
would
designate
a
spot
to
brighten
your
heart
and
essentially
have
the
pile
or
what
you
bring
home,
maybe
if
you're
keeping
it
in
in
trash
bins
or
something
like
that,
just
kind
of
give
it
a
few
more
weeks
to
really
kind
of
cook
and
break
down
and
then
that
way
it
it
sort
of
has
the
finishing
process
can
kind
of
sort
of
continue
cooking.
B
If
you
will,
because
I
know
I've
talked
to
some
people
who
have
used
that
norman
city
convent
norman
city
compost
and
has
said
it's
maybe
about
90
finished
from
the
composting
perspective.
But
if
you
give
it
just
a
little
bit
more
time
and
kind
of
slowly
check
on
it
by
sort
of
experimenting
with
it,
then
that's
kind
of
what
I
mean
is
just
sort
of
giving
it
a
little
bit
more
of
a
composting
time,
because
that
will
help
break
down.
B
A
Well,
I
really
appreciate
your
time,
courtney
and
it
looks
like
we
haven't,
had
any
other
questions
come
in,
but
I
will
be
sending
all
of
this
out
to
our
attendees
that
had
signed
up
to
rsvp
for
the
workshop.
So
hopefully
they
can
get
a
hold
of
you
with
that
I'll.
Send
your
contact
slide
out
there
too,
so
they
can
circle
back
with
us
and
let
us
know.
