It looks like a bloom should pop open any day. You're documenting it well. Somebody should recognize it eventually.
Agree, although they happen constantly, only a language nerd would usually remember the arcane term. IDK why, it's so mysterious & active...

LOL!
Very few plants actually take root more easily in water than in soil. I propagate hundreds of kinds of plants every year, but Coleus & a few...

What a nice thing to say, TYVM! IDK if that's true, but I won't argue. :+) Some of the stuff I read as a newbie scared the heck out of me. I...

I've never amended the soil or put much effort into Iris tubers at all, just literally lay them on the ground. If buried, they can rot.
No doubt, Cayuga, a home compost pile is unlikely to get hot enough to kill seeds. That is why one would not want to knowingly put any significant...
Yes, #1 is Phytolacca americana, a native, source of berries for birds in the fall: http://www.gardenstew.com/plantstew/19523 It can't be a pecan...
I only really dislike the ones that show up in gargantuan numbers, like chamberbitters, and the hard-to-pull, like oak sprouts. The rest I just...
