[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Jo Setliff]

Scott,

Assuming your landscape is relatively new and wasn't landscaped by someone 
with exotic tastes,  you'll find common and latin names, pictures and 
descriptions of common AZ landscape plants on a CD you can get for free 
(your tax $) from the Gilbert Water Conservation Office.  I can't remember 
the exact name but if you ask for the Arizona Landscape CD they will know 
what you mean.

It has a search feature where you narrow the parameters (ex. Evergreen, 6 ft 
tall shrub, yellow flowers) and it will provide some options.  That might 
help you find the name for your plants.

I used mine to ID most of the plants in my yard.  It has descriptions, care 
tips, etc.

Also there is a section called "My Plants" where you can store profiles on 
up to 20 plants.  That's how I keep "inventory" for my yard.

Good Luck

Jo Setliff, Maricopa County Master Gardener
