Thanks Jif.  What is bindweed?

Title: Re: fall blooms 2013
Post by: bayou girl on Oct 12, 2013, 02:11:56 PM

sheri, bindweed is a "native" form of morning glory, and it does what the name says.  it binds up things, almost as bad as kudzu, but doesn't give the ground stability that kudzu gives.  and while the vine is thing (thinner than my crochet yarn) you can't break it with your hands.  it is WAY strong.

Title: Re: fall blooms 2013
Post by: bestofour on Oct 12, 2013, 07:02:57 PM

can you use the vine for making wreaths?

Title: Re: fall blooms 2013
Post by: bayou girl on Oct 12, 2013, 11:12:26 PM

it is too thin in my opinion.  i will take a good picture tomorrow with something for reference.  i was thinking it would make good tiny baskets though!  i just don't know how it would dry.  i can't remember how brittle it is.

Post by: bestofour on Oct 31, 2013, 07:30:40 PM

Jiffy, if you read back I said I used to have hurricane lillies that you sent me.  I didn't know what had happened to them.  A lump came up outside our dining room window under the pine needles.  I kept watching it from the window and kept thinking we had a gopher til one day I couldn't stand it anymore and went outside.  What I found was this.

(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fpic20.picturetrail.com%2FVOL145%2F2152270%2F23823082%2F407945108.jpg&hash=29a28fd30e9c6998831d249f8543841b5b0b4084)

Jesus, the yard guy, had covered everything up with landscape fabric before putting out the pine needles.  It smothered out weeds but couldn't keep these flowers from blooming and growing.  I had to cut the landscape fabric away to get to them.  So I cut one and brought it inside.

nandina?

Title: Re: fall blooms 2013
Post by: bestofour on Jan 28, 2014, 11:49:31 PM

Yep nandina.   It's everywhere around here.  I've pulled it up, sprayed with Roundup, tried to add dirt and plant over it.  It sends out runners and shows up everywhere.  It never dies.  I think it's in the bamboo family.  But the berries are lovely.

Title: Re: fall blooms 2013
Post by: Tina on Jan 29, 2014, 12:15:26 AM

I don't think it is a true bamboo. Common name heavenly bamboo. Here it does die if it doesn't get water. That makes it not so pesty.

Johnny wanted to plant some real bamboo but never did.  I think I'm glad because our friend who did plant it has a yard full that is growing toward the road and is now so thick he can't control it.  He says he thinks he can see it growing.
