50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants

Prospero autumnale/Scilla autumnalis?? I really think this bulbous plant in the Ericaceae should be grown more widely. It blooms usually in September in Z6/7 and is charming. Spikes of small pink flowers on 6" or so stems. I'm delighted when it seeds about--not nearly enough for me, but I do collect ripened seeds and they germinate fairly well.

This book should be very popular with native plant aficionados

Uli Lorimer’s new book, The Northeast Native Plant Primer, 235 Plants for an Earth-Friendly Garden, is accessible for beginners but offers many benefits for more experienced gardeners, too, and for gardens outside the northeastern states. One of the country’s leading exponents of native plants shares the fruits of his decades of observing and cultivating our native flora.

Pictured: PAMM by Arquitectonica (2014)

Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, the Perez Art Museum of Miami (PAMM) in Bicentennial Park was born!

This design includes a level of integration between plants and buildings like never before.

“Where the PAMM building itself has been designed to express the raw material of concrete in its many forms, have been chosen to display the raw materials of Miami’s landscape as complement and contrast to the geometric architecture of the building.”

All while using , shrubs, groundcovers, and vines!
