| Water Mint. Beware of this plant. Though attractive, it can be invasive, as it'll grow in water or soil. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Wild Blue Pickerel pontederia cordata will only grow in water. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Wild Rose, rosa setigera, under a native wild Persimmon Tree. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |

| Like most species of wild rose,pink rosa setigera only blooms in the spring. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Endless Summer Hydrangea, as beautiful as any found in cut flower shops. It is blue in acid soil, pink in alkaline. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| The flower heads of Endless Summer Hydrangea measure six inches across. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Wild Blue Pickerel Rush pontederia cordata, a great plant for the inside edge of ponds. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Don't you just love the native Rose's pale shade of pink? Do you see the bee? 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Hydrangeas Endless Summer (left) and Nikko Blue (right), side by side. So far, they have performed the same. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Hardy in my Oklahoma Zone 7 gardens, everblooming Blue Pickerel Rush pontederia cordata blooms throughout the summer. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| Closeup of Nikko Blue Hydrangea, a great choice for partial shade. 6-18-08 photo by Gale Chester Whittington |
| I suppose you know by now that blue, like that of this Pickerel bog plant, pontederia cordata is my favorite color, along with apricot, of course. 6-18-08 |
