Snowy again today so Im turning to indoor plants for colorful displays. African violets rarely disappoint as they can be in bloom for months while grown indoors. These houseplants are easy to grow under supplemental lights. Do you grow African violets? #horticulture #Africanviolets #houseplants #indoorplants #easytogrow @isuanrext @iastate_cals #iowa365 #ia365

Oops! Ive been so focused on the first week of the semester that I forgot to take the daffodils out of the cooler. This is what etiolation looks like. Fortunately all should green up in a couple of days. #etiolation #forcedbulbs #daffodils #absentmindedprofessor #horticulture

Its snowing today, so remember to gently brush off heavy, wet snow that might damage evergreen boughs. #snowday #evergreens #iowa #snow #horticulture #snowonevergreens
