What flowers and flowering trees can I plant that will thrive in full afternoon sun?

We have absolutely No shade in the front of our house (we face the west) and we are in west Texas.


We get 10-15 mph hot southwest wind also.


We DON`t want cacti.


We DO however want something a little different than everyone else has i.e. Morning glories, wildflowers, honeysuckles, etc.


Thanks!

What flowers and flowering trees can I plant that will thrive in full afternoon sun?
One of my favorite flowers for full sun is the zinnia. They are hardy, bright and showy and very heat and wind resistent. They come in beautiful colors, too, and are great for cutting. Zinnias will grow very quickly from seed, so just scatter them lightly and evenly throughout the soil and keep it moist until the seedlings emerge.





Verbena is also very tough and heat tolerant and needs virtually no maintenance. It comes in very bold, eye-catching colors.





Good flowering trees for full sun (and old Southern favorites) are redbuds, magnolias, wild plum and dogwood. In Texas, the Wild Olive tree and Blackhaw do well, too. Both are smaller trees.
Reply:Trees - Crab Apple


Lilac


Any Tropical Flowering Tree (As long as you can water it )





Flowers - Roses


Petunias


Impatients


Most any flower that can withstand any hot dry climates. (And again as long as you can water it.)
Reply:Petunias - full sun


dianthus- full sun


portulaca-full sun


inpatients- full sun


wisteria, tree- full sun


lilac- full sun


clematis, vine -full sun

WHY are these plants so important?

why are Japanese Honeysuckles, Muliflora rose, and Buckhorns so im portant or can somebody come up with a reason why there just important!

WHY are these plants so important?
These plants are all nonnative species (alien or exotic are other terms for nonnative) in the United States. The problems associated with them are:


1. These plants spread easily, especially the Japanese honeysuckle.


2. They take the places of the the native species without providing the same sorts of resources to the other living things in the ecosystem.

Can any1 tell me what u think of my poem???

DEATH OF AUTUMN





the flowers are all dead


the sun sobs softly over


the hearses of sweet honeysuckles


and dying poppies


as autumn's cancerous chortle


is gnawing the floal sanctum


painful silence echoes


sadness is at Man's very heart


remembrance of growth of perfume of love


embraces


I stand alone and weep


when the wind whispers something sweet in my ear


and


I smile again

Can any1 tell me what u think of my poem???
Let me say again: Lovely! Could you give me a pen name, to put under the poem, when I put it on paper? That would be great.








Very nice work--please! let's see much more of you here. Do be careful about your work being stolen, though.......





Take care.





*Edit: Thanks so much--I will put "Maryam" under the poem. I hope we all see much more of you here at Yahoo!Answers. Thanks for sharing.
Reply:Perfect sad poem good but depressing!
Reply:It's very sad. Man, I am starting to tear a bit and I never cry. I think it is beautiful.
Reply:Well, I'm really not that familiar with honeysuckles and dying poppies and all since I live in the Philippines but nonetheless I like it. Brooding and dark yet it has this sweetness to it especially in the last line. You start with the flowers being all dead and it seems to give off a really melancholic aura but in the end, you could smile again and that's really good. Keep it up.
Reply:good job
Reply:niceee....
Reply:VERY descriptive! VERY dark with a great ending. This is a good one! I would change the last to "I stand alone and weep when the wind whispers something sweet in my ear, again... I smile" One change in wording and it wraps it up perfectly. Remember over use of the word AND in your future poems. Great Job!
Reply:Obviously you have a desire to write and create imagery. You don't seem to stay with any one inspiration and so you just push/compress images together without thinking about them and how they will be read and so some of what you group together is just ... inappropriate? Not working for me, anyway.





This can be fixed with focus.


Your focus.





Assuming you are fairly young (high school?), this is a lot better than most of the tripe we read on this site. I'm not crazy about what you've written but compared to most of the other stuff I've seen here from your age group you are leagues ahead of your erstwhile competition. (OK, that's not saying a lot...but still leagues ahead. Let's go with that.)





Give this one another shot.





Did you mean floal or floral? I'm hoping floral.

A man was driving down the the road and came upon a farm. He pulls into the driveway and gets out carrying 2..

buckets. He walks up to porch where an old man is in his rocker.


"Good morning," says the young man.


"Howdy," says the old fella.


"I see you have milk weed growing behind the barn. Do mind if I get some milk?"


The old fella laughed, "You can't get milk from milk weeds. But, help yourself."





The young man walks into the field and comes back carrying 2 buckets of milk. The old fella thinks, "Well I'll be."





The man drives away, but comes back the next day. He approaches the old fella with 2 more buckets and says, "Well, I see you have some honeysuckles growing behind the house. Do you mind if I get some honey?"


The old man laughs, "You can't get honey from honeysuckles, but go help yourself.

Garden disease help!?

Last year, my clematis suddenly died. I thought maybe I'd simply run through it with the lawnmover so didn't think again. Then a huge pink lavatera in the same place drooped and died. This year a nearly wisteria has not come into leaf and neitehr has a himalayan honeysuckle about 5 metres away. What is going on and how can I stop it?

Garden disease help!?
Hi:


There could be several reasons why your plants are dying.





1. The soil could be missing some important nutrients





2. You could have some form of insect around the garden area, that keep infesting your plants.





3. You may have a fungus that are getting on your plant specimens.





Check any other plants in the area. Look underneath the leaves to see if there are signs of insects, (mites or aphids) or if there is a powdery substance. This could be a sign of a fungus. If you see anything like this and can't identify it, take a leaf off and bring it to a local nursery or garden center for them to identify.





Consider having your soil tested for the lack of certain nutrients. I hope this helps some. I will link you to the simple solutions section of my website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information that may be helpful to you. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. You may be able to find some additional information as well as tips and techniques. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Reply:It's honey fungus soil disease.It usually starts at some old tree stump and it threads it's way around other shrubs roots sucking out all it's nutrients.


The chemical that worked is now banned by the EU due to non bio-degrading in soil.


Nothing you can do except look up what plants are immune to the fungus and plant those.


If you want to persevere,than remove dead plant with all roots.Pour Amarillox over area 2/3 times.Then disenfectant a couple of times,then fresh bag of soil and replant.


If bees die off could humans figure out a way to pollinate?

and could we use honeysuckle plants for honey?

If bees die off could humans figure out a way to pollinate?
Other insects polentate too, but it is the bees that do it on the largest scale.





MY suspicion is that this is a NEW scare tactic for the media to use to influence everyone since Globull Warming is losing its teeth, i.e. Algore blamed the earthquake in China on globull warming and demanded that Americans send him MORE money! Keeping his mansion in Tennessee warm during the winter and cool in the summer are going to cost him some coin!





20 years ago the media warned people in S. Florida that the coconut trees were DYING due to this disease that turned them yellow! Did all the coconut trees die? Nope. It was a short-lived media scare tactic! That's all. Coconut trees "survived!"

Reply:if there is a way yes we could figure it out. but remember that nature has a way of balancing things out. i don't think the bees will die off. the animals in the world, throughout time, have gone through periods of rise and decline. just wait it will take care of itself.


Do you ever ?

sit in an antique rocker on you front porch about dusk and listen to the whippoorwills call amidst the rhythmic creaking of your grandmother's old chair whilst the warm scent of honeysuckle wafts through your soul?

Do you ever ?
~no homo~
Reply:Funny you should ask. I do have a rocker, belonged to my granny. She willed it to me because I loved it so much. It sat next to the stove on her farm for as long as I can remember. She died about 5 yrs ago, at the ripe old age of 92. Now, I don't have a porch. I also wouldn't know the sound of a whippoorwill from a crow. But I do like to sit in it and read my daughter stories Dave. And I like to think I can still hear the sounds of the farm from so long ago. The cows, the chickens the dog barking. Oh, wait. That is my dog barking. Better go let the silly mutt in.
Reply:yes- there is nothing better than a sunset with the sound of tree frogs, whipporwills and my daughter trying to catch lightning bugs.


My favorite smell is honeysuckle and it is about to bloom so I thank you for reminding me of it. - there is nothing better except when the sun sets and the sky lights up with millions and millions of stars and I lay on the grass and look up and dream for hours.
Reply:I do have an antique rocker from my great grandmother. If I set that on the dock at my grandpa's pond, where the smell of honeysuckle also happens to be quite strong on warm evenings, and listen to the sound of the loons calling - then I can get fairly close to your scene.
Reply:not yet =(





but i do stand at the balcony of my apartment about dawn and listen to the calls of various birds amidst the gentle blow of the refreshing morning air whilst the smell of drying dew drops and unpolluted air wafts through my troubled soul and make me feel better.
Reply:No, but I used to sit in my Grandmother's lap when I was much younger and smell the honeysuckle and watch the hummingbirds. I wasn't old enough to really appreciate this sort of thing, but what a great memory.

How do you train a vine to grow on a fence?

I want to train a honeysuckle vine to grow along the back stretch of my fence. How do I do that?

How do you train a vine to grow on a fence?
You can do it an inexpensive way and use a fishing line.....they sell the clear line at Walmart or Target. It's also nice that's it's clear so it won't be an eye sore.





You can bend it easily and tie it in small knots so you can guide your vine in whatever direction you would like it to go....I got the idea two years ago and it's worked great on my vines!
Reply:Did you just plant it? What kind of fence? Does it have places to attach itself to? It is a vine, it will take over your fence itself, while it is small, you may need to help the little vine strings to climb (set them up in whatever direction you want them to grow), after a while it will do it itself.
Reply:You can buy "wraps" at a hardware store or use twine to lightly tie the vine ends where you want them to grow.( allow enough slack for plant growth)
Reply:You could get some chicken wire and staple to the fence so the vine has something to hold onto
Reply:first you cut a leaf off of a vine tie it to the fence and then water it every day.

Flowers attracting bees?

I have a yard full of honeysuckle and the bees love it. Is there something I can do to attract more birds and butterflies? Will this deter the bees? If not, what will?

Flowers attracting bees?
this will not be a popular answer but truth full. there isn't anything you can do other than use a pesticide to kill the bees, which i hope you don't do. bees are very important to nature as they pollinate so many plants and trees. i have the same problem at my home but i just tend to ignore them and i have never been bitten. you can plant butterfly bushes and that will surely attract the butterflies. plus there are so many colors to choose from you can really jazz up a flower bed. the best way to attract more birds is to hang some bird feeders and purchase some seed. feeding birds is one of my families favorite hobbies.
Reply:i honestly don't think that you can get rid of bees and still attract birds and butterflies. bees love the nectar

Reply:A bird feeder full of seeds will attract birds. Specific flowers will attract butterflies (look up "butterfly garden"). The birds, bees, and butterflies will all coexist just fine.
Reply:buddllias are good for butterflys
Reply:If you have a healthy population of bees, learn to live with them. They are good for your garden and good for the environment. I'm not overly fond of the buzzing in my shrubs each year, but I hate to discourage them since there is a growing problem with scarcity.





Butterflies and birds are attracted by bright colored flowers and flowering shrubs. But they also like a ready source of clean water so a bird bath is a very good idea. Relative to birds, plenty of ground cover and trees will also provide good habitat and encourage them to stay. And use natural products on your yard - no chemical poisons/fertilizers/weed killers.

Can some one help me out?

Can some one help me select two non-human species that interact with each other, so I can complete my research experiment. I just need a few ideas to get me started.





This will explain a little more about the experiment.





For this assignment, choose two non-human species that interact with each other, such as bees and flowers, or predator and prey species, or two species that compete. Or, you can consider the effect of an environmental factor on living non- human organisms, such as the effects of light or sound on plants or animals, or how food preference, or nutrient quantity / quality affect plants or animals. These are just a few examples. Your observations may lead you to many other types of questions about living organisms, their interactions, and requirements for life.





Would bees and honeysuckle be a good choice?

Best way to start a vine for fence?

I live in Zone 5, and have a east wooden fence and a south chain link fence surrounding my property, they are the neighbor's fences so I can't remove them. I would like to hide them though. However, last spring I planted honeysuckle and sweet pea from seeds and never got any to sprout. The area is very sunny and bugs tend to gather, so should I start the vines indoors then transplant? Please help, these fences are driving me crazy!!! Also, the neighbors have given me permission to plant flowering vines along both fences, thay seem to like the idea as well.

Best way to start a vine for fence?
Rose of Sharon is a nice hedge plant and has flowers, you can buy bare root now which is much cheaper. this will give you an idea of what to expect.





http://www.directgardening.com/detail.as...





You don't need permission from your neighbor to plant on your side of the fence
Reply:Either buy plants of honeysuckle or get fresh green stems and start them. Seeds of the honeysuckle do best started from birds--( apparently going thru their body helps the seed. One start of honeysuckle will give you good growth this year and plenty of supplies to start more next year-- I know of a yellow honeysuckle and a red variety.


The easiest flowering vine is morning glories-- soak the seeds over night before planting-- they start slowly so mark the spot. Once started, they will reseed themselves every year.


The next easiest flowering vine is the original clematis-- It's called Autumn flowering or something like that-- can't remember right now. It grows well, is strong and the blooms are small but SO fragrant. You may be able to get "starts" from friends. Once it's established, like the honey suckle, you'll love it-- so will the birds.


Both Honeysuckle and the clematis can be very heavy-- you'll either shear the old growth in the spring or something else-- all the shearing does is "prune" and you get new growth.


good luck
Reply:It is best not to have climbing vines if the fences do not belong to you. Instead plant evergreen shrubs or a nice hedge. Be sure to plant them about four or five feet away from the fences as the shrubs/hedge will bush out and fill in that space.





Go to your local nursery or garden center and ask them to suggest an evergreen for you.





OR make it easy on yourself and have a landscaper company plant these for you. They have all the equipment, fertilizer and etc. to do the planting correctly. Make sure the contract says they will replace any thing that dies. Also ask them how to take care of them. Watering is VERY important.

I heard that it was true. If so, what personalities matches these scents? (lets work with bath and body works scents only please)





floral (like wild honeysuckle)





fruity (like black raspberry vanilla or pink grapefruit)





candy-scented (like warm vanilla sugar)





spicy (can't think of any, sorry)





serious answers only please


thanks

Do girl's perfumes match their personalities?
Floral- a classy girl


Candy- fun girl


Spicy- sassy, attitude(in a good way)

What (if anything) can I grow over a ivy wall for a bit of colour?

I rent a property with a south facing wall, covered in ivy which is nice, but lacking in colour.


Would a clematis of honeysuckle be ok?

What (if anything) can I grow over a ivy wall for a bit of colour?
Passiflora caerulea, the blue passion flower. Exotic flowers with a biblical myth. Very hardy to all parts of Great Britain. Evergreen too.
Reply:I grow Clematis montana 'elizabeth', which flowers late spring to early summer, and this scrambles over some huge conifers and an overgreen wall of ivy. It has light pink fragrent flowers, otherwise there are white varieties. As it's deciduous, it does allow plants underneath to get some light at other times. English Ivy, by the way, is known to be toxic to dogs, so you may want to clear this, if this is the type that you have growing. Here's an extract on this 'may cause stomach irritation, diarrhea, troubled breathing, coma, death.' Not a good thing! http://www.cybercanine.com/toxicplants.h...





Otherwise, Lonicera periclymenum, one of the Honeysuckles, forms a good swathe of color, for many months. This may be harmful to dogs, though I don't know if Lonicera Japonica is as bad. You could always chop the flowers after flowering, to prevent berries forming, which may be the easiest for a dog to eat.





Mid to late season colour is easy with passiflora caerulea, which is hardy and largely evergreen. Depending on where you live, there are some less hardy passion flowers that you could grow too, including Passiflora incarnata. See more here: http://www.floridata.com/ref/P/passiflo.... Potential issues with dogs though, but could be trained high up, as it does grow enthusiastically and would love your sunny south facing aspect.





Winter flowering jasmine - Jasminum nudiflorum, a beautiful yellow flowered climber/scramber, adds color to your garden when little else if flowering, from November through to March. It can be helped by a little support, but will grow well in most conditions, including some shade. http://www.floridata.com/ref/J/jasm_nud....





Jasmine is listed as a safe plant, so you could also try the white/cream jasmines, in addition to the winter Jasmine - Jasminum officinale or Jasminum polyanthum, which is white/pinkish, and semi-evergreen, depending on where planted -good with partial shade too. Hardy in USDA plant zones 8 to 11 - includes the UK!

Reply:Whatever you decide to plant make sure that the Ivy doesn't smother and kill it. After all, most climbers die back in winter whereas most ivys don't.
Reply:Clematis might be your best bet as it will be more inclined to cling to the ivy. Honeysucle will need to be supported as it doesn't naturally cling i.e. has no tendrils for attaching purposes. Don't get a montana clematis they can grow large and the weight might bring both it and the ivy off the wall.
Reply:I don't care for the smell of honeysuckle, so be sure you do.





What about Vinca, with its pretty purplish flowers?
Reply:Passion fruit bush, the flowers are gorgeous, then you get the fruit, but be aware it can take over if you don't keep it under control.
Reply:Clematis without a doubt, my favourite flower, check here and see why

Reply:Honeysuckle would be perfect! ask your landlord first since you rent
Reply:There are many climing plants that bloom both in evening and during the day that could add some beautiful color to your climbing ivy.





Two that I love, are morning glory, and for an evening bloom, moon flower. The are both climbers and would mix beautifully, and climb well with the ivy. But, unfortunately, morning glory can also be poisonous to dogs, as is honeysuckle.





Here is a list of some flowring climbing plants:

What are some good outside plants for the desert area?

I live in the middle of the desert in California and I'm getting ready to start planting flowers and all that jazz because my yard is quite boring. What are some good flowers and plants I can plant outside that are able to withstand the heat (it gets up to around 120 in the summer). It's very dry here also. I want flowers and greenery. I was thinking of planting honeysuckle too. My dad has always been able to grow beautiful roses however I have a black thumb and no matter how hard I try I can't get things to grow. Anything that is pretty, can withstand the heat, and is pretty tolerant would be great. Thanks

What are some good outside plants for the desert area?
Desert plant #1: Oleander


Desert plant #2: Purple Sage


Desert plant #3: Bougainvillea


Desert plant #4: Lantana


Desert plant #5: Pampas Grass

Desert plant #7: Red Bird of Paradise
Reply:Try looking at a local nursery (not a big box but privately owned) they will be able to point you in the right direction. Also check our High Country Gardens on-line and see if they have anything that will work for you. You may also try planting a few trees first to create some shade so it is not so hot in the summer.

Reply:Cactus
Reply:All the succulents are good, you can find some of them very beautiful, colorful and some of them blossom amazing flowers in spring.
Reply:What you are looking for are draught resistant plants. There is a grwoing movemonet to more "greener" cultivation of plants, in that people are trying to promote more eco friendly backyards.





There are numerous sources you can try. The type of plant depends on your microclimate of the yard. A couple of times a year put a few white sheets of paper in different areas and every few hours measure the percentage of sun on those papers. This will tell you what parts of your yard are sunny, shady etc.





Look for temperature variances too. Areas near a wall can be colder due to shade and wind effect. Opposite suncatching walls can be warmer. These temperature diffrences can mean a difference between survival and death of more delicate plants.





Look for native occuring species. Wild species of plants are naturally ahrdier and have proven track record of living in that environment. Plus they are cheaper to get as well. Many can be plucked during a hike, just make sure your hike is at a relatevely same elevation as your house. elevation makes a big difference in teamperature tolerance of plants.





Ofcourse you have to also check the soil composition (clay, sandy, loamy etc) and acidity of your yard as well. The easy way is to send a soil sample to local lab or unviversity botany department for advice. A cheaper method is to call your dad, and have him take a look and give you some advice.





Once you have the basic anatomy of the yard figured out, start looking at plants you find esthetically pleasing. Search Xeroscaping websites for ideas and advice.





And remember, have fun. If they die... thats justa lesson in how to make the next one survive. Experiment and "grow" with your plants!
Reply:I lived in Arizona, and I loved the way the Blue Agave plant looked.
Reply:Your're best bet would be to go to the nearest nursery and look around, I don't think you're going to find honeysuckle. Also, you may want to refer to the "Sunset Garden" book put out by the Sunset Magazine editors. There are many colorful flower-blooming succulents and cacti to choose from. Happy Gardening!
Reply:I can't recommend any plants, but I would recommend using a soil amendment that will hold water in the soil and then release it back to the plant. There is a great product out called "Pozzolan" or "LasseniteATS" that will do the trick. It is all natural, conserves water, improves the percolation rate of sandy soil and helps prevent runoff. Use one part Pozzolan to 5 parts soil and work it into the ground at root level (about 6 inches).





It will hold up to 104% of it's weight in water PLUS it will release the water back to the plant as needed. Best of all this is a ONE time application.





Go to the websites I have listed below for more information. The company TechnoGreen Corp calls this Aqua-feed. They have been using this in the desert to grow grass in the middle east.





Good luck!
Reply:Iris's come back every year and bloom in the spring. (Plant in front and around the below)





Mexican bird of paradise thrive when everything is wilting away during the hottest part of the summer. And start to green up as the iris blooms fade.They attract humming birds to. But have to be cut back in the winter.





Hibucus does well dispite the heat and can stay green all winter if its not to cold.





Aspargus ferns do well in the shade (but tend to be pokey and mesquitos like them so plant with marigolds around them).





Trumpet vines will thrive all the summer.





You are right roses are hard.





Queen palms are a tree but they add beauty to your yard year round and do well in the heat.





California poppies, african daisies, reseed themselves and come back year after year.





Check with your local grower nursery (not a national chain just sending out flowers) they will know what works best in your area.

What is your favorite perfume recipe?

I have a number of different fragrance oils I have purchased. I have found some of them combined are quite lovely and would like to make my own perfume. I have read some recipes online but would like to know you favorite recipes!





Here is what I have : Rose, Honeysuckle, Vanilla, Frankincense, Patchouli, Myrrh, and Spring Rain. I opened the Vanilla, Honey Suckle, Pachouli, Frankincense, and then set them together. I waved my hand to get a whiff of smell (instead of direct nose to bottle) and I like this combination.





I know an easy method to make a simple perfume by using vodka, the oils, distilled water, and glycerin. I know the oils are different depending on how you want the scent to smell so I can make that decision on my own. What proportions would be appropriate for the vodka, water, and glycerin?





Any helpful insights would be awesome. I'm not trying to run a perfume shop here I am just exploring with what I have.





Thank you.

What is your favorite perfume recipe?
Hey, a fellow perfumista! When I was a kid I was always getting in trouble for mixing my Mom's perfumes and I still enjoy mixing! A really easy thing to do is to pick up some J.R. Watkins lemon oil at target and use it under any floral fragrance. it seems to "freshen" it in the same way that lemon freshens many foods. I'm sorry, I don't know about the vodka but it sounds interesting. I usually just mix something in the palm of my hand and apply it if it smells good! Here's a link to a great site for perfume making. I just bought some Mandarin Neroli oil from them. http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/Pro...

New,Sand,Oasis,Love Ballad ...Any thoughts?

,New, Sand, Oasis, Love Ballad





If sand is made from dried tears,


Then I've made a desert.





My brain is an oasis. A freedome of the


Harsh, grainy wind. Which is love.


An oasis gives me nourishment with honeysuckle blooms.


An oasis. From the outside looking in


You wouldn't guess I was there.





I let my hair down and leave. My feet


Take me to an Oasis. And while I'm there I


Hide my eyes behind smoke.


-The holes to my soul, they say.


With so much sand, I feel nearly buried.





Only when I grasp the first branch do I say,


"I'm here", "I've made it."


I take my cigarette, and comes the smoke.








We mingle our brains. We've shared everything.


All I've given as gifts, I've gotten in return.


I'm happy.


And blessed rain comes pouring down.


My bitter, salty conscience; like my skin, are


Clean and white again.


I love.

How do you get rid of sooty mold on plants?
sooty mold is a byproduct of white fly, or aphids. It grown on the excrement of the pests. Identify the pest, use a product labled for the pest, read the directions and follow them. The sooty mold can be washed off the leaves. Its a chore but can be done. Soapy water and determination will work.

Hi,





one way to figure out what all these are, what they are good for and probably how to use them too is if you go to a library and search for natural herbs or something along those lines you should be able to find lots of books that would contain information about different kinds of roots, and plants used for things like cleansing, or even if you search on the internet you would be able to find somehting. Good luck with the cleansing, it's a good and natural way to keep yourself healthy, with avoiding drugs.

What was your favorite thing to do when you were a child???

I used to love sneaking out in the middle of the night to walk around town (I live in a very small town so I was safe doing that). My town is so quiet and pretty at night, I still like to walk down to the river or down the winding road along the creek picking honeysuckle.

I also hunted a lot with the BB rifle I was given for taking care of a neighbors lawn. I became a crack shot dispatching many sparrows. (not popular sport today but 55 years ago it was).





All of us guys hiked a lot as well. we would be gone all day often hiking miles. Our parents all said we had one leg shorter than the other because we were always climbing up or down some mountain. We knew where all the wild raspberries were along the trails to eat for lunch.





We all had lots of fun in the winter as well ice skating on the lakes.

It's a Tatarian honeysuckle, Lonicera tatarica L. It took me a while to fin a suitable picture though. I've included some information on it.





Horticulture student.
Reply:It probably is a Lonicera, maybe morrowii maybe tatarica, just not ripe.


Could also be winterberry holly, Ilex verticillata (see link).

Sparkling Peach from bath and body works?

Has anyone tired it out yet? is it worth it? i havent been really happy with bath and body works lately..they newest one..honeysuckle...smells like a dead grandma..its nasty! anyway, let me know abotu the sparkling peach.

Sparkling Peach from bath and body works?
Sparkling peach?! It's fabulous!





I tested the waters with a deep cleansing antibacterial soap, and LOVE IT. It's in my kitchen right now-- I love how fresh it is...





I went back and got a shower gel and splash a few days ago because I think it will be perfect for summer!





And honeysuckle?! Always a bad idea. The original honeysuckle they had was gross and overpowering, but after they discontinued it, people freaked out-- it always comes back for the semiannual sales and is successful (-- I worked there full time for several years..) , so I guess that's probably why they brought it back...
Reply:I like it, the pomegranate is nice too. Try it on and see how you like it, every scent isn't for everybody.

Hi,I am trying to find the words to a song sung to me as a child.?

Going round in my head are the words" There's a quaint commotion in the garden,where the ? and honeysuckle grow"" come come come there's an invitation for you come come come in your jewels of sparkling dew," "at the wedding of the old queen bee" a bit disjointed I know but hope someone recognises it.Thankyou

Reply:The Ugly Bug Ball


by Burl Ives


album:


Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried,


to a sympathetic beetle by his side.


"I've got nobody to hug,


I'm such an ugly bug."





Then a spider and a dragon fly replied,


"If you're serious and want to win a bride,


come along with us,


to the glorious


annual ugly bug ball."





Come on let's crawl


gotta crawl, gotta crawl


to the ugly bug ball


to the ball, to the ball


and a happy time we'll have there


one and all


at the ugly bug ball





While the crickets clicked their tricky melodies


all the ants were fancy-dancing with the fleas


then up from under the ground


the worms came squirming around





Oh they danced until there legs were nearly lame


every little crawling creature you could name


everyone was glad


what a time they had


they were so happy they came





Everyone was glad! What a time they had!


they were so happy they came!





Come on let's crawl


gotta crawl, gotta crawl


to the ugly bug ball


to the ball, to the ball


and a happy time we'll have there


one and all!


at the ugly bug ball.





Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen


she was beautiful in yellow, black and green


he said, "Would you care to dance?"


their dancing led to romance.





and she sat upon his caterpillar knees


and he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze


soon they'll honeymoon


build a big cocoon


thanks to the ugly bug ball





Come on let's crawl


Gotta crawl, gotta crawl,


to the ugly bug ball


to the ball, to the ball


and a happy time we'll have there


one and all!


at the ugly bug ball!

What is the best method for rooting a small plant or vine from a clipping?

I have checked online, but everywhere tells me something different. The plants I'm currently trying to root are members of the passion flower and honeysuckle families (vine plants with a nice climbing habit) from cuttings I've taken from their newer growth.





One popular method has told me to put the cuttings in vermiculite after dipping the end in rooting compound.





The second method I've found was to take the clippings and keep the bottom half submerged in water (in a glass or test tube) until roots begin to emerge.





(I've even considered merging the two and keeping a test tube filled with water and vermiculite after dipping the plant in rooting compound!!)





Of these two, are either better or worse for rooting these clippings, and if there are any methods that I have missed (I'm sure there are several) that would be a good choice for these plants then please let me know. Thanks for the help.

What is the best method for rooting a small plant or vine from a clipping?
I've had success rooting honeysuckle in water, but not my passion flower. You have to change the water often if you use that method. It will develop a bacteria that turns the water into smelly pond scum and the vine gets mushy and dies before the roots develop. One way that did work to root the passion flower, was to dip the root in the B-1 then use Shultz root compound and I stuck it in a pot of soil.
Reply:Actually, either method will work, as will your "combination" method -- I've used that as well. It has the advantage that when you go to plant the thing, it will bring some vermiculate along with itself, thereby protecting the roothairs and holding water.





Don't know about passionflower, but honeysuckle is pretty tenacious -- I would assume it would root pretty well. I've found the issue with rooting is the *when* you take the cutting, more then the method of rooting. If you take the cutting from growth that is too fresh, it will just wilt and die; too old and it will harden off before rooting.





So, just experiment and have fun. Expect to fail a bit, but you seem to be on the right track, so I think you will eventually succeed -- good luck!!
