Temporarily Blocking View of Neighbor's Cluttered Back Yard?
Thanks Lizzyanny, This is a great idea! I hadnt thought of a natural barrier! Because our yards are very long and narrow (60 x 15), I will research the required width allowance for these plants. I wouldnt want to lose too much of the yard to permanent vegetation...
Temporarily Blocking View of Neighbor's Cluttered Back Yard?
Thanks BettyGross, Youre right. I already know that it is a violation. It seems as though the citys code has no meaning to them, neither does the opinion or appeals from neighbors. Difficult describes more than the situation, it also describes the interpersonal...
Can a Dandelion be Several Feet Tall?
I submitted a picture with my original post and was surprised when it wasnt displayed. Here is a picture. Im just under six feet tall and I am looking up to see the top of the plant (see the white door just behind it?). It is clearly a dandelion. The stems...
What is This Flowering Bush? (Quince)
Thanks to you both! This is very helpful. I am inclined to agree with John because it is definitely hardy. I just dont want to mess it up if I try to prune it (HELP! - how do I prune it?). I doubt it is in any way related to the azalea because the azaleas havent...
What is This Flowering Bush? (Quince)
Yes! I too expect early azaleas this year. Just this morning, in my NW DC neighborhood, I noticed the azalea buds pushing forth the tiniest bit of color (since yesterday). This as the flowers on my fully bloomed non-azalea bush have begun to fade.
What is This Flowering Bush? (Quince)
I took another picture of my bush today now that the flowers have faded and the new leafy growth is underway. What a hearty plant?! I am thinking of taking cuttings to propagate new bushes to fill up the yard. It makes sense to expand upon what is already thriving...
What Is This Plant? (Spotted Laurel)
Thanks to everyone who posted feedback (and in advance to those who will). I am overwhelmed at the exposure my question has gotten. I let all my coworkers know about our plant being famous on ThriftyFun! Attached is a picture of the plant that I snapped with...
What Is This Plant? (Spotted Laurel)
A couple of days ago, some of my larger rooted cuttings were still in water and some of the smaller ones were planted in small pots. I planned to combine everything into one pot. I gathered soil, pots, rocks and cuttings and... the small cuttings seemed to...
What Is This Plant? (Spotted Laurel)
Schefflera Arboricola Variegata seems to be the agreed answer to my question. Ill continue my research using that name. My last few cuttings are about to root. Some have just been sitting happily in the water without rooting still the leaves have remained bright...
What Is This Plant? (Spotted Laurel)
Now that summer is over and Washington DC was observed to have the worst summer weather in all of the US, the time has come for me to prepare my plants to come inside. I want to show everyone how beautifully the plants grew over the summer. I was shocked when...
