| Does anyone know where I can get a Texas Mountain Laurel in East Dallas / Mesquite? I've only been able to find seeds on the internet even.
Thanks in advance! Lynn Marie |

| Have you tried Rohde's in Garland? They carry mostly natives and adapted plants and I'm sure I've seen them there in the past. Kelly |

| I've seen them in Calloway's or Home Depot a couple of times. You might be able to get someone to order one for you. We're on the upper edge of their range for blooming, I've seen a couple sources say that I-20's the northern edge. I transplanted a couple from my parents' house and it's a difficult giving them enough sun to get flowers but still providing enough protection from the cold in the winter. And a late freeze can kill the flowers, as the bud stems form and set in the fall to open mid-March. They're a great evergreen bush, though! |

| I saw them at the Dallas Arboretum yesterday and they were in full bloom. So I guess they will bloom here. I'll try Rhodes, Lowes, Calloways, and Home Depot! Time to shop! Thanks! |

| I've seen them in native landscaping that the city of Mesquite has installed. They have done very well. |

| I found some a lowes in Burleson. Check yours or ask them to order some from another store. |

| Lorraine, that picture isn't a texas mountain laurel, to the best of my knowledge. I attached a picture taken of the blooms of a mature tree on UT's campus. Also, try Northaven gardens in dallas for a nice sized one. They are slow growers. GREAT and underused tree. Sure wish the bozo's who landscaped along central expressway in dallas knew a thing or two about native trees. We have dehydrated bald cypress. |

| Why do these files erase when you proof and re-preview?? |

| Why do these files erase when you proof and re-preview?? You have to reattach the photo if you correct or modify anything while previewing... quirk of the current system. If you forget, you can just edit your post to reattached the photo. Agree North Haven Gardens is a good option and will order if not in stock. Redenta's Skillman store is another to check with from east Dallas. |
