house. It has thrived and is now 8 foot tall with a 4 inch thick

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:46:46 +0100
Someone was expressing fear of Russian Vine hybridising with Japanese
Knotweed.

Hello,
I'm having trouble identifying this plant: http://tinyurl.com/43od7z
The place we've moved into has this stuff all over the place;
rockeries, borders, shade, you name it. I haven't been here long
enough to know if it flowers or not (those yellow flowers are from an
adjacent plant).
Any information, i ...

watering habits - dry/drench vs. always damp
Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:14:39 -0700 (PDT)
So it seems that some plants like to get completely dry, then flooded
and not watered again until dry - but is there an easy way to
