#I recommend you look to see if the honeysuckle species in question is invasive or not

Let's talk about: Honeysuckle

Surprise led me to a cluster of Kantonian Honeysuckle plants yesterday so I figured I should talk a bit about them as a wild treat!

Now its important to know, not all honeysuckle are edible, but Kantonian Honeysuckle is one of those cases where its perfectly safe to drink nectar from (but DO NOT eat honeysuckle berries, they are not edible and can make you ill) While honeysuckle can't replace a good nutritional meal, they're very good as a sweets substitute should you encounter them in the wild.

..However, I want to say that this is only a treat for trainers and grass type Pokemon like Gloom who produce nectar of their own. Pokemon like my buddy Mutt (Growlithe) and most mammal based mons will get very ill if they eat anything from the plant and in some cases it can even turn fatal. If your Pokemon ever accidentally ingest one of these plants, it is important to get to a Pokemon center straight away so the optimal treatment can be administered as quickly as possible.

Before consuming any kind of honeysuckle plant, I strongly encourage you to do your own research. Most honeysuckle are safe to eat, but its always better to be prepared when out and about foraging. Safety should always be the number one priority for both you and the environment!

The Daily Tulip

The Daily Tulip – International News From Around The World

Tuesday 25th April 2017

Good Morning Gentle Reader…. Up early this morning off to Malaga as Sandra is operating on people with cataracts today.. so I get the chance to explore the city while she works… the weather is a little cloudy so it will be a jacket day, just in case it rains.. and as always a good book will be my companion currently I’m reading “Killing Lessons” by Saul Black, great writer and a good recommend to anyone that likes Murder – Detective stories…

BOY AGED 12 DRIVES HIMSELF 1,300KM ACROSS AUSTRALIA…. A 12-year-old boy who was apparently trying to drive across Australia has been stopped by police 1,300km (800 miles) into his journey. The boy was pulled over in Broken Hill in the New South Wales outback on Saturday after a patrol noticed the car's bumper dragging on the ground. Police said the boy had been attempting to drive 4,000km from Kendall in NSW to Perth, Western Australia. He was arrested and taken to Broken Hill police station. His parents, who had reported him missing, picked him up on Sunday.

JULIAN ASSANGE'S ARREST A 'PRIORITY' FOR US ATTORNEY GENERAL…. The US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, says arresting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is a "priority". Mr Assange has been confined to London's Ecuadorian embassy, where he has asylum, for almost five years. Asked about the possibility of his arrest, Mr Sessions said: "We've already begun to step up our efforts and whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put some people in jail." Earlier reports had suggested US authorities were preparing charges. Wikileaks, which was founded by Mr Assange, has been involved in several high-profile releases of classified US information. "This is a matter that's gone beyond anything I'm aware of," Mr Sessions told reporters. "We have professionals that have been in the security business of the United States for many years that are shocked by the number of leaks and some of them are quite serious.

FATAL ATTACK REIGNITES SHARK CULL DEBATE IN AUSTRALIA…. Australia will consider all proposals to stop shark attacks after the death of a teenage girl, the government says. Laeticia Brouwer, 17, was fatally attacked by a shark on Monday while surfing in Western Australia (WA). It was the third deadly attack in the state within 12 months. Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg said he would consider new proposals including culling, but any action would rely upon the state government. "In light of the recent shark attack the Commonwealth would welcome any proposal to put human life first," said Mr Frydenberg. "This could include the newest drum line technology, shark exclusion nets, culling or other measures which WA sees fit."

VENEZUELA OPPOSITION HOLDS SILENT MARCH TO HONOUR DEAD…. Thousands of Venezuelans marched in silence to remember those killed in three weeks of protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. In the capital, Caracas, protestors dressed in white were blocked from reaching the office of the Roman Catholic archdiocese. Similar marches took place across the country. Opposition leaders blamed the deaths of about 20 people on a heavy-handed police response to their protests.

BRECON BEACONS SAS DEATHS: RESERVES REMAIN VULNERABLE, REPORT SAYS…. A new report into the deaths of three soldiers during an SAS exercise in the Brecon Beacons in 2013 has concluded it could happen again. In 2015, a coroner ruled Cpl James Dunsby, L/Cpl Corporal Edward Maher and L/Cpl Craig Roberts died as a result of neglect on the 16-mile march. The report, commissioned by the Ministry of Defence, said failures at multiple levels led to the deaths. The MoD said recommendations in the report were being addressed. The report has been published by the independent watchdog, the Defence Safety Agency, which monitors the MoD on its behalf. It concluded: "These reserves currently remain vulnerable to a further incident in the future." The soldiers had been taking part in a recruitment exercise on what was the hottest day of 2013. The report said the officers in charge did not plan for the weather, and health and safety guidance was inadequate. A combination of "cultural drift" and uncertainty about the role of the reserves in general meant that no-one questioned whether the gruelling training was appropriate for part-time soldiers, it said.

FIRST OYSTERS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SOLENT IN FISHING BID…. Juvenile oysters are to be transferred to the Solent in a bid to revive oyster fishing in its waters. The practise was banned in 2013 after annual harvests of the molluscs plummeted from 200 to 20 tonnes in the space of five years. TV presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle has backed the Blue Marine Foundation project and will help transfer the first 1,500 oysters. Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie has already supported the bid. Oyster fishing in the Solent was banned after the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Project found the molluscs were failing to reproduce as a result of water quality, invasive species and over fishing. A pilot project, involving adult oysters, was previously held at Ainslie's racing team's base and at the University of Portsmouth's raft in Langstone Harbour. Following its success, Blue Marine Foundation said 10,000 juveniles would be transferred to cages at the two sites, as well as at four marinas across the Solent over the next month.
