Okay this plant is currently growing in my backyard. My mother planted it but cannot remember what it is (she has dementia). My best guess is it is likely a fruit plant.... I think. Again sorry but I have no clue.Greetings. This is not about identifying the plant itself nor about the flower, seeds and fruit, but the bits inside the stem.
Inside the stem of the Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae, or the common landscaper's choice in Southern California) are clusters of a white stringy substance that I have discovered my dogs eating several times. Can you ID that plant part and it's toxicity? They...Hi, greenhouse grown, 7' tall, blooming now.
Any ideas?
DavidI really like planting vegetable, now I need more veg beds, and need more soil.
It is a new yard, so no soil at all, only a sand base, turf with a thin layer of dirt. I need buy some.
I thought what I really need is dirt and then I can add things like peat moss etc. But then it seems I should buy top soil? I found there are top soil amender and top soil. top soil amender is pure compost and...I had planted a year or two ago two slightly different viburnums [I think different varieties -- I don't remember which, but they had smaller, maple-leaf type leaves] and a snowmound spirea, the type which has irregular shape and blooms later than the lovely early bridalwreath spirea which does have truly arching delicate branches covered with white bloom.
Well, the viburnums turned to mere...I planted 2 Mariposa Skies Irises November 4, 2011 in my garden, in Kitsilano, then moved them April 10, 2012. They are facing East and get about 6 hours of sun per day. On June 18, 2012 there was a blue bud showing at the base of one of the irises, but by June 25th I noticed the bud had turned white, it has now turned brown. he corm feels firm and I don't see any holes in the base of the...Hello i found this plant in a Greek island .

When I emailed a picture to a friend in The Netherlands, he told me what it was and apparently there is only one Pinus nigra witches broom in that country.
I am curious how frequent or rare these apparitions are in our neck of the woods, and how...My giant lily is about to bloom. It is about ten feet tall and has eight pods. I am hoping that we don't get too much rain in the next few days.
This isn't a question; I just wanted to share my excitement.
SamsamWhat kind of birch has so elaborate leaves?I know there are carnations and roses in the pic, so just need help with the white flowers(with many petals) and the smaller purple ones...Thanks!Hi there,
I recently started working at a new job, and there is a tree in the office that looks quite ill to me. I'd like to save it, but have no idea what it is and therefore can't research specific information. It's watered by a coworker every 2-4 days, and gets the most direct sunlight in the office throughout the day. Is there anything I can do differently? I'm not a plant expert, but I'm...I have question to identify plants at UBC botanical garden. I am sure some people have the same questions. Thank you in advance.
