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.

In its second week on the grounds of the historic Pound House Farmstead, the Dripping Springs Farmers Market has seen a dramatic increase in visitors, creating what some are calling a “fair-like” atmosphere.
