These samples from the Woody Plant Identification final are too pretty to pitch, right? Hopefully all the students aced the final! #horticulture #plantidentification #ilexverticillata #woodyplants #finalsweek @iastate_cals #hort240 #iowa365 #iastateu

Would you buy purple or blue poinsettias? Plenty of people do! Normally I avoid glittery objects, but I think these are pretty! #poinsettias #purple #blue #holidayplants #glitter #horticulture #iowa365 #ia365 @mgardener_ia #mastergardener

I just love the smell of evergreens! Good thing - since I have pine pitch all over my hands from making swags with the Hands-on Horticulture class today. All of us are taking home beautiful door swags and wonderful smells of the season! #horticulture #evergreens #pinecones #ribbon. #holiday #doorswags @iastate_cals #iowa365 #ia365
