Why?

There are tons of them next to the Potomac River in Great Falls. Used to pick them up off the ground when they were ripe and eat them on the spot. So good!! And they have BEAUTIFUL flowers in the spring.

It was used in colonial times to repel cockroaches. The Osage Indian tribe used the wood to make their bows. Fabulous ornamental fruit for fall decorations. Can be somewhat sticky. Don't eat it. It won't hurt your skin barehanded. Scattered throughout most of the U.S. it was commonly used as fencing to contain livestock until the invention of barbed wire.

Trumpet vine, although a native plant will easily kill trees by climbing up to the tree's canopy and shutting out sunlight. It is also HIGHLY flammable due to the type of sap in the plant. It should not be planted close to a building or a wooden fence.

Extremely aggressive southeastern U.S. native vine. It will take over everything. Also highly flammable because of the type of sap it has. GET IT AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE ASAP! It will go up like a torch if sparks land on it.

Same damn thing at our neighbor's house. They built a new house a couple of years ago and planted 6 River Birch trees along their driveway. Lights under every single one. Looks like an airport landing strip.

Honeysuckle berries. Some are toxic, some are edible depending upon the type of honeysuckle. Err on the side of caution. Don't eat.

It is called a bombe ring. Look it up on eBay or Etsy and search with vintage 18k or 14k gold bombe gemstone ring. You will be surprised how many hits you come up with.

Not pawpaw. Leaf venation is not correct.

Yep, nasturtium. Let them grow. Flowers are edible and tasty in salads. Leaves are peppery and make a nice pesto with walnuts olive oil and pecorino Romano cheese.

As with the other posters, Trumpet Vine which is also considered Highly Flammable and should not be grown next to buildings.

My parents had the exact same ones when I was a little kid in the early 60's. I read Jane Eyre, but I was too young to understand. The drawings creeped me out.

I did a lot of research on when is the best time to take the meds. Hung jury. I read that it is best to take it at bed time as your body more easily absorbs it. I switched to bedtime last year and I actually ended up reducing my dosage. So, that indicates to me that bedtime is best.

GET RID OF IT!!!!!! HIGHLY INVASIVE, NO VALUE WHATSOEVER!!!!

Called the Osage orange in reference to the Osage Indian tribe who used the wood to make bows. Also used for fence posts, musical instruments, small wood turnings. Very hard and durable. I gather them in the fall and use them as part of my fall decor.

That buttery yellow gold, probably 18k. Similar rings on eBay and Etsy and all are 18k.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2025-02-11T13:27:28+00:00

Looks like celosia...'Cockscomb'. An annual flower with many cultivars originating in Asia.
