I came across this in a "weedlot" today and don't think that I have ever seen such a fuzzy plant, barring cotton. Does anybody have any idea what it might be?

These little pinkish berries are clearly biding their time as winter comes to an end.

I saw these thistle seed heads in the black berry patch this weekend.

What is the name of the plant (or weed) Imec? Cheers, Mich I haven't a clue. I don't know anything about plants. I shot this at a friends house on Vancouver Island in March. Just thought it looked kinda cool!

Speaking of clematis, is is CLEM uh tiss, or Cluh MAT iss?

I had never seen artichoke flowers before, and I had certainly never seen them for sale. And they are not anything that I would feel like buying. However, I did buy some lavender which I stuck in a vase in my mother's room at the nursing home.

I dunno -- I think thistles are cool, including artichokes.
Kimby, I say cleh MAT iss, but I don't know if that's right or not.

Sigh, lovely pictures on here. Lovely to see the Artichoke heads en masse - we are currently investigating the really beautiful Cardoon heads at work (very similar plants). They are really fantastic inside - stuffed with soft filaments which cradle the seeds, very prickly to handle though! Dried out they make very attractive decorations - striking pot pourri pots maybe?

The peony is more than interesting -- it's a star!
Love your picture with the different stages of the plant & even a signature Cheery bee.

Do you think you could make prepared mustard from the bok choy seeds, Tod? You certainly have enough. Beautiful pics.
That's so pretty, Kerouac. Currants?

Gosh, I don't know Bixa - mustard made from unmustardy seeds I have millions but would have to find the recipe.....

Those are wild roses, Bixa.

Post by bixaorellana on Oct 4, 2011 15:01:53 GMT
Have you nibbled the seeds to see if they taste right for making mustard (or bokstard), Tod?
Really, Kerouac?! Yes, now I can see it from the stems & flowers. The teeny little rosehips are adorable.

Dern! That plant would be worth growing just for its pod and berry display! It easily rivals Mahonia or Pyracantha in the pretty berry category.

The seed heads in my garden are all rather unsightly...I tried to leave them on but my gardening instincts kick in and I have to dead head to prolong flowering for as long as possible.... ;D

Everybody here who compulsively itches to deadhead or pull stray weeds in nurseries or friends' gardens or wherever raise your hands.

(I also pull dead leaves off other people's plants. And rearrange mis-displayed items in stores.)

I knew a woman who fretted that the bottom leaves of her geraniums would eventually go yellow. She was amazed that it wasn't some dread disease.
I used to tend a young next-door neighbor's aquarium & house plants when she went out of town. The first time I did it, I groomed her healthy but messy Boston fern the normal way -- nipping off all the brown fronds and old sticks. When she came back, she couldn't believe it. "You had it less than a week and look how much it's grown!"
