This is an interesting variegated sieboldianum that I received in 2010 from All Things Acer. The Checklist of Maple Cultivars has this as a 2006 introduction from Japan. I have this planted in full sun (in NJ) in the ground and in a pot in a shaded area and it is doing well in both locations.I was in Home Depot yesterday and there was this poor tropical plant on the shelf without a pot! I obviously had to purchase it and give it a proper home. Unfortunately none of the others with pots had names, just "Tropical Plant". (Don't you hate that?)
I looked through the two plant books I have but I came up with nothing. It's under a foot tall. Any ideas? Let me know if you need additional...Hello,
We've just moved to Port Alberni, where we have a Prunus Tree (possibly a cherry) in our back yard with a thick coating of green slime on quite a large portion of it's truck. Is this cherry sap infection, or perhaps bacterial canker? It looks too gelatinous and green to be gummosis.
Should I worry about this spreading? I have several plum trees nearby that I'd like to keep healthy....hi, my Dracaena has suddenly started loosing leaves. also i noticed that there were 2 large, fat roots comming out from bottom of the pot. there seems to be new growth at the top of the plant, so i was wondering if this was was normal. any help would be great. thanksI am researching an upright ginkgo and have run into Elmwood Pillar and Elmwood Upright. I am wondering if these are one and the same and if not, what is the difference? It sounds like Elmwood Upright might be a newer cultivar, if so, is it improved? I noticed a great picture of Elmwood Pillar on this site, that's what got me wondering. Thanks.
KayI attached pictures of my mom's sample. Same as mine but older. Note fuzzy leaves and long stem hairy-things. Took her plant outside to take these pics - light was betterCould this be a Cascara tree?

SusieHi, trying to identify this plant to
1) know how to care for it, and
2) know what it will be like when mature.
Just moved to our new house.
Any help appreciated.

http://db.tt/7Quuqu5DI was given a house plant which was called the Rosary Vine -ceropegia woodi but it does not resemble any of the google images. Measuring at about 10 inches long the "vine" consists of spear- tall heart shaped leaves folded down the center and crumpled or twisted...the leaves are so densely on the stem you cannot even see the stem. The leaves have a very shiny darker green side and a lighter...[ATTACH]Attachment 108558 (http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=108558)

Hi all...
I really need this tree/shrub identified if possible :) It is situated...Good day all,
I have a Hylocereus that is being attacked by tiny little black bugs that appear to have a very pointy nose from where they stab or prick the plant. They almost seem to be bent in the middle making their shape like an angular "s". They are roughly 1mm long and slim. I have been through dozens of sites about plant and cactus bugs and yet nothing even resembling them is listed...I toured the BC Interior in 1994, long before the Mountain Pine Beetle received the publicity it has now. Lodgepole Pine was the undisputed king of many a forested area, as around Blue River. The trees were healthy (in contrast to Western Hemlock) and by all appearances "there to stay."
Google Street View images of Blue River from 2009 were far less flattering, with many orange or bare trees....
Passionfruit vines rely on bees to pollinate their flowers because they have a large gap between the pollen-bearing male parts of the flower and the female part. Only when the female part of each flower receives passionfruit pollen can the flower form a fruit. If you don’t have a lot of bees around your passionfruit [...]

I love my hardy kiwi vine. Well, no, I take that back. I have a love/hate relationship with my hardy kiwi vine. I love the fruit it produces. Hardy kiwis produce little smooth-skin grape sized fruit you eat skin and all, they’re more nutritious than the fuzzy-skinned kiwis you find most often in grocery stores [...]
