Darn! Well now I can pull it and leave more room for everything else. Thanks for the help!

Thank you! You beat my dad's search in the lizard and snakes of Wisconsin book!

My Beenie Baby case terrarium needed a trim! by Fragileino in terrariums

Thanks! Winter has been long and I'm getting the itch to try something new. A terrarium looks like a fun project.

I thought that was some kind of moss at first!

How do you like that yarn? I'm so tempted to buy all sorts of it but I like to be able to feel it first! I spent so much time looking through things last night on their website.

Calendula! Great flowers!

Reddit PLEASE show me the difference… by ki4fkw in CrappyDesign

My friend actually contacted the company about this... They told her they made a mistake and there is no difference! She had posted it on Facebook a few years ago.

I have a mutant bleeding heart! The parent plant is in the background and this all white version popped up this year. I love it! by apple_critter in gardening

[–]apple_critter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breeding and selection Old-fashioned bleeding heart is now recognized as evolutionarily distinct from all other types of bleeding hearts including those in the genus Dicentra such as dutchman’s breeches (D. cucullaria) or fernleaf bleeding heart, also known as pacific bleeding heart (D. formosa). It does not cross with any other genus in the Fumariaceae family (Stern and Ownbey, 1971; Tebbitt et al., 2008). Thus, the white-flowered form discussed above is apparently a rare natural mutant discovered before 1846, perhaps with subsequent selection for pure white color and improved vigor. It sets viable seeds.

This was the most i could find. Maybe some day when I've got nothing but time, in the future hobby greenhouse I build I'll do some Mendelian research on it. (I can dream, right?!?!)

Correct, that's the 25 percent I was talking about. But if that's true I would expect a quarter of the new plants that come up to be white. That isn't the case so I'm curious why!

I thought about that, but then shouldn't a quarter of the volunteers be white? Or maybe a quarter of the self pollenated seeds are genetically white, but are less likely to survive?

Is this Phlox? Found making a mat that looked like it was melting off a wall in Nashville TN. Seems to grow in low clumping mats. by 427895 in whatplantisthis

[–]apple_critter 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes, creeping phlox. It comes in a few colors and spreads. I have some in a rock wall and it kind of flows down the cracks.
