“It was hot,” Christopher Robbins, Assistant Chief of Wimberley Fire and Rescue, said. “It is hard to describe to someone that doesn’t see these types of responses on a daily basis. Every time you would blink, the fire would double. Every time I went back to the truck to call for more resources, you would see through that smoke and see the rise of heat. It was so hot, it didn’t matter how far you stood back, you were getting burned up.” 04/14/2022 12:00 AM

Persian Shield so beautifully exotic: ‘This is the life’
Recently I stumbled across a plant recipe called ‘This is the Life’, not only was it a collection of some of my favorite plants but was like a wake-up call to an old favorite the Persian Shield. Known botanically as Strobilanthes dyerianus, it is native to Burma and has 8-inchlong leaves that are iridescent in shades of purple, lilac and pink with purplemaroon on the undersides. If those colors aren't awesome enough, the foliage looks as though it has a light coat of silver electroplated to the leaf. 04/14/2022 12:00 AM
