Gardening: What is this??

It is growing beside the road, at my neighbors house. It is growing up into a tree. I think its kind of pretty .. but would like to know what it is first, before I go poking around in it.

At first I was worried that it was Hog Weed, but after looking at photos on line I'm not sure.

    get the fungicide to kill the powder on the leaves. The company that planted our trees planted these three close together to give us privacy from the house behind us, they told us that these are long skinny maples. They have gotten tall but not very wide. It may have been the cold or the soil but it surprises me how the others trees were not damaged. They were all planted at the same time and soil seems to be the same through out the yard. I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks.

Make the Most of Your Basil Bounty

By the time summer's end made an appearance, I had too many leaves than I could handle. So I researched how to preserve my bounty.

Gardening: What is this plant?

I bought these little plants a few years ago in early spring. The leaves were a little bit meaty, but not as thick as a succulent. Over the spring and summer the plants grew huge, with long vine-y parts, but the leaves stayed more or less the same size - no more than an inch or two long. At the very peak of summer they did have a little red flower that came out, one or two of them on each plant. It looked almost like a tiny red daisy.

Anyway, I brought them inside in the fall and ...»

they did not like it. I'd love to be able to buy some new ones, if only I knew what they were!

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

  • There's only one flower spike in about five iris plants in my garden.
  • It's gorgeous, but lonely
  • Love the colour variations between the upper and lower petals. Plus the nectar stripes are so pretty.

Gardening: One Lonely Iris

Last year, I planted a number of iris cuttings from a friend. The only one to bloom has just opened. They are in full sun and I planted them shallow as I've done before successfully. What could be wrong?
