Pulling up should be easy....then ship to me!:D

Heck, sell it on eBay!....

Actually, it only grows here in the shade, so is that where the problem is?

[mrsD]

Yeah, I'd love some too....IF it is the giant real one. I got some at a garage sale over 5 yrs ago and while it is still coming up well, it is NOT spreading for me.

I have tons of the false Solomon Seal, tho.

The real one is valuable and hard to find.
It has hanging light yellow bell flowers and grows to about 2.5ft or higher.

The false one is about 12 in and has flowers only at the tip that turn into red berries. The false one spreads like crazy!

[Alffe]

It must be the false one....sure is a lot of it! It's in the shade but only gets about 12 inches high. guess I'll pull it..still want some? *grin

[mrsD]

Oh, boo hoo....

Did you ever get that jewel weed seed to germinate?
How's it doing, Alffe?

[Alffe]

No sign of it yet Mrs.D. We had an unusually long cold winter...I'm still looking for a sign but I would have thought it'd be up by now.

[mrsD]

The reason I ask is that I have some volunteers coming up in my petunia pots from vacation last year. They are about an inch high now. I only have 4 though.

Say, Alffe...take a look at the link I put up today for the eagles.
It is a funny video you might enjoy. ;)
