My mom has a lilac bush that has lost all its leaves, and today my cousin posted a picture of his lilac bush it has also lost all its leaves (it has a flower also). these bushes are in two different areas, they are the lavender colored ones. I have white lilac bushes and they're fine. Anyone know what is going on?

Humming birds love them!

Bet I know where that patch is. They are blooming now. 

It's not along the road!

Thank you both. The patch I found is rather large and of all the wild flowers I have found I've never taken them all. Now to find a place for them and get some

I came across a wild flower the other day, found out it is bloodroot. Does anyone have any experience with this plant? I love bringing home living treasures! 

 lavender, do you have some butterfly weed?

Thanks Lavender & Petee  the information you two have given me is great. I'm thinking about a butterfly /bee garden! 

That is it! the stem by the flower are a very distinctive purple and yes they were very tall. Thank you! now to find a way to bring some home and of course a place to put them. lol

So i have seen some butterfly weed that I like please tell me more about  this plant. 

Thank you Lavender & Petee, those are the answers I was looking for. Right now I think I'll leave it where I found it and save it for a special garden in the future!

that is what I'm trying to decide, if I want it and where, last time I made my husband dig up some wild flowers they liked where I put them and "went wild" lol !

I found this wildflower in a field the other day and was wondering what it was? it is tall 3ft. likes sun

Thanks

what kind of vine is this and is it invasive?

Didn't see mom anywhere. I was pretty close to the little thing and glad that my dog is getting older (sotra).

I just got done telling my dog I wasn't going to see anything with her running ahead of me like she was, less than 30 seconds latter.. she sees something

I had them last year and I think I put some sevin dust in the dirt and mixed it up, they just relocated. Don't know what I'll try, However i think i'll dig deeper into the baking soda!

I'm having issues with those dang little "piss" ants in my flower bed. Should  I keep them, get rid of them , how do i get rid of them without harming my flowers? help!

That is definitely not an owl, that I know. This is probably what I seen that morning (half asleep) thinking it might have been an owl.

This very well could have been the "owl" I thought I seen.

I live in the Salem / Luthersburg area and one morning around Christmas I seen a white owl. It was to far away to get a good look at it  so I couldn't tell if it was an albino or a Snow Owl. The story on the news has me wondering. We do see and hear owls, however, none of them have been this white.  Has anyone else seen any?

We already have our veggie garden, So what I would be planting in the clay would be flowers, shrubs, ect....

My husband has been dumping our coal ashes around a dog wood tree, so that he can mow around it easier. I asked him to quit untill I found out. I suppose I'll be moving those ashes to keep the tree safe.  Maybe they'll work to get rid of the nasty Multifloral Rose that is overwhelming around here.

OK I have some clay areas in my yard how can I improve the clay to make it more user friendly and what plants would work best?

Hi I was wondering what are the hazzards/ bennifits of dumping coal ashes near a dog wood tree? I'm concerned that they might harm the tree. Also, I would appreciate ideas where the coal ashes would be bennifical?
