Leafy spurge seems to be early and everywhere this spring. There is still time to consider a spring herbcide application before it gets too far along. If you have questions about control, call our office for recommendations or consult the herbicide retailer of your choice.

We had a fun little surprise in the office this week! In case you have never seen a (spear/cylindrical) snake plant bloom, here is a sneak peek of the bud. If you look closely, you can even see some of its sticky nectar oozing out of the stalk.

Research tells us that this bud may last 2-3 weeks, so feel free to stop into our office and witness it in person. In the meantime, we're curious... Have any of your indoor snake plant varieties bloomed? Drop a photo in the comments!
