Plant Sale List Update: Medina Garden Nurseries Donation

I stopped by Medina Garden Nurseries this weekend. I'm a fairly frequent customer and enjoy seasonal strolls through Ernesto and Yshmael's gardens. They have never looked this good. It's worth the trip. Medina is 20 miles south of Kerrville. Along the way, the roadsides are solid wildflowers, and most creeks and rivers are flowing again.
Once again the guys in Medina came through with a generous donation that includes:

Evergreen Sumac
Blanco Crabapple
White Honeysuckle
Maypop
Blue mistflower (Las Crucitas)
White mistflower
Simpson's rosinweed
Penstemon sage (Big red)
Guara
