Persian Shield so beautifully exotic: ‘This is the life’

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

Tigers soccer team earns state

Tigers soccer team earns state

It has been a great year for the two Dripping Springs soccer teams and the end looked bright. However, in the end, the soccer teams ended up reversing last year's positions. Last year the Tigers were stopped 1-0 by Brownsville Porter and the Lady Tigers went on to win the state title. This year the Tigers (25- 3) were able to defeat Sharyland 2-0 and then got their revenge with a 2-0 blanking of Porter to send them to state for the first time since 2010. The big game for the Tigers was the Rouse quarterfinal game in which pen alty kicks advanced the Tigers after the 1-1 score. 04/14/2022 12:00 AM
