Flower Power at your Fingertips<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Dr.Dr. Allan Armitage has developed a new mobile gardening app;\u00a0Armitage\u2019s Greatest Perennials and Annuals<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Developed for both Android and iPhones platforms<\/span><\/a>, Dr. Armitage selects his favorite annuals, perennials, ornamental grasses and veggies, letting readers know why he chose them.\u00a0 He also provides hints for success in the home landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n

A unique and popular feature is deer browsing and most recently a rabbit browsing feature has been added too! Other new additions are ornamental grasses and vegetables. Numerous photos and videos supplement the plant specific information.<\/p>\n

\"JoeExecutive Producer and Host Joe Lamp’l\u00a0of\u00a0Growing a Greener World<\/a>\u00a0says, \u201cHaving Allan Armitage\u2019s app is the next best thing to having Allan personally by my side or yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daylily Days<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

A favorite perennial of mine,\u00a0Pocket Full of Gold<\/span><\/a>\u00a0daylily is a\u00a0gardening workhorse; long blooming, salt tolerant and edible!<\/span><\/p>\n

Remove the stamens, rinse, dry and fry whole or strips after coating in\u00a0a batter mix like\u00a0Whistle Stop<\/a>. Include cleaned petals and chopped tender parts of stems and tubers in salads.<\/p>\n

Hemerocallis Coolers<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Stay cool during the summer with this infused drink.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ingredients:<\/em>
12 daylilies (remove stamens)
\u00bd cup sugar
2 cups spring water
7-Up
Apricot & Orange Juice<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/em><\/p>\n

Make an infusion using 6 daylilies,\u00a0\u00bd\u00a0cup sugar, 2 cups of spring water. Bring to a boil and simmer. Reduce by 1\/3. Strain liquid and chill.<\/p>\n

Mix infusion equally with 1 part apricot juice, 1 part orange juice and 1 part 7-Up.<\/p>\n

Pour over remaining daylilies, serve with ice. Garnish with borage and monarda flowers.<\/p>\n

GreenCare for Troops<\/span><\/h2>\n

With Memorial Day, D-Day, Flag Day and July 4th on the horizon, it reminds me that any day is the right day to thank those who have served our country, preserving our freedom.<\/p>\n

GreenCare for Troops<\/a>\u00a0is a nationwide program coordinated by Project Evergreen that connects local green industry professionals with men and women serving in the armed forces. Tell a military family about this service or\u00a0consider volunteering<\/a>\u00a0to show your support.<\/p>\n

To commemorate the loss of a hero,\u00a0you can\u00a0plant\u00a0a tree or shrub<\/a>\u00a0as a memorial dedication.<\/p>\n
