Amanda McNulty explains the difference between yellow jessamine and swamp jessamine.

If you’re new to the South, you need to know that yellow jessamine is extremely poisonous.

If you’ve ever tried to pull yellow jessamine out by the roots, you’ll understand the nickname “poor man’s rope.”

Sometimes, yellow jessamine blooms in conjunction with Asian azaleas, but this year, it jumped the gun.

Amanda McNulty explains why yellow jessamine was selected in 1924 as our state flower.

Dandelions have long tap roots, and unless you get almost all of them out, they merrily grow right back.

Early settlers to the New World brought dandelion seeds with them to have a source of vitamin-rich greens.

Though dandelions are sometimes considered a pest, their prolific growth does have some ecological benefits.

Dandelions grow everywhere, except in Antarctica.

Though there are a wide variety of types of greens, Amanda McNulty explains why some are her favorites, while others fall short.
