A welcome sign you’re homeward bound, the wayfaring tree is so named because it grows close to paths. Look for them in hedges and woodland edges, with full bloom in the spring and heavy with berries in the autumn.

Devil's Shoestring Root In Your Practice.

Devil's Shoestring (Viburnum lantana) has a history of use in the south it is used for protection against the devil.

The use of Devil's Shoestring dates back as far as the early 19th century in the Southern States. In hoodoo the Devil's Shoestring is considered one of the most powerful protection root.

There are a few stores of how this came to be like, "One source says the root was used to tie the devil or evil spirits to trees, effectively binding them and keeping them away."

Don't Do, I it's not used to summoned Vodou loa like the internet say (don't try that)

What's It's For: Its use for protection against the devil. There's a saying 'If you don't tie your shoes you'll fall', This is the same thing. Think of this root as the shoestring on the devil's shoes, it trips the devil so he can't follow you home.

You can can activate it by saying a prayer opon it. You can add a little Holy water.

(Please!!! Don't think despite what you read online that you can burn this root or add it to a candle to rid a place of dark spiris or entities)

Creating A Protection Gris Gris Bag: This root is often used to create powerful protection amulets, bags etc. Here are the ingredients used to create your own:

Several small pieces of Devil's Shoestring root.

A red cloth bag.

Protection Oil, frankincense and myrrh, Basil, (Angelica root if preferred,) Psalm 91 or you can 23rd palms.

Last don't forget to feed you bag often you can use a protection oil like devil be gone.

Current garden status: a solid meh, with a few highlights here and there.

In the back box garden the marigolds are doing TERRIBLY. This is the second time I've tried to plant marigolds and the second time they've looked like weedy little sticks within a few weeks. The African marigolds are doing a little bit better than the French ones, but neither is doing well. Even the salvia is pretty mediocre, and I couldn't stop that from growing last year. I don't know if they're getting eaten or if my water levels are off, but I'm giving up on the marigolds after this year. The daylilies, however, are in full bloom and having a fantastic time.

In the front, the tea olive tree looks pretty shabby this year after a late frost killed off its first attempt at leaves (and possibly some limbs--I'll need to see where the leaves come in next year). The handful of tiny hostas has struggled to do anything three years running, and the azaleas never did put out a decent first bloom. The hydrangeas are at least alive, though I won't be getting any blooms this year. The white hydrangea in the back looks fuller than it has the last two years, so hopefully I'll get some blooms next year. The lantana in the brick garden is growing magnificently, just in the wrong direction! I want flowers, not big fat green leaves! I did discover today that I've accidentally been half-dosing my fertilizer, so I gave it a double dose and hopefully that will promote some bloom growth over the next couple of weeks.

The viburnum seems to be having a great time; I'm not sure what those spindly little mint green bits on the leaves are, but I'm hoping they might be baby blooms? It's certainly doing better than last year's roses. The honeysuckle in the corner of the fence had a catastrophic first month where I kind of accidentally totally forgot to water it ever, but I've got a hose on it now and it's finally putting out runners, so hopefully I didn't torch its chances too badly.

At the end of the driveway the jasmine is off to the races with long runners crawling all over the fence. The pentas are blooming pink again and the plumbago is beginning to fill out nicely. I can't figure out what's going on with the little arched bed at the end of the driveway; I have five hostas planted there, all planted about the same time, all planted about the same depth. However, one has been up and full for a month, two have just decided to spit out leaves in the last week, and I have no idea where the other two are. A little hosta mystery...a hystery, if you will.

Plus an Ophelia, just because.

Florida-Friendly Plants and Landscaping Ideas for Your Garden Design

Creating a beautiful and sustainable garden in Florida requires careful planning and selection of plants that thrive in the unique climate of the Sunshine State. Florida-friendly plants not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your garden but also contribute to water conservation and support local wildlife. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore various Florida-friendly plants and landscaping ideas to help you design a stunning and eco-friendly garden.

Understanding Florida's Climate and Soil

Florida's climate varies from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south. The state experiences high humidity, frequent rain, and warm temperatures year-round, making it a haven for diverse plant life. Understanding the local climate and soil conditions is crucial for selecting the right plants for your garden.

Florida spans USDA hardiness zones 8-11. Knowing your specific zone helps determine which plants will thrive in your area. Florida soils range from sandy to clayey. Conduct a soil test to understand its pH level and nutrient content, which will guide your plant selection and soil amendment practices.

Benefits of Florida-Friendly Landscaping

Native plants are adapted to local rainfall patterns, reducing the need for supplemental watering.

Florida-friendly plants typically require less fertilizer, pesticides, and care compared to non-native species.

Native plants provide food and shelter for local wildlife, supporting biodiversity.

Deep-rooted native plants help stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.

Choosing Florida-Friendly Plants

Selecting the right plants is the cornerstone of a successful Florida-friendly garden. Here are some top ch

oices:

Trees

1. Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana): A majestic, long-lived tree that provides shade and supports wildlife.

2. Cabbage Palm (Sabal palmetto): Florida's state tree, known for its resilience and minimal maintenance.

3. Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora): Offers beautiful, fragrant blooms and glossy leaves, ideal for ornamental use.

Shrubs

1. Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens): A hardy, drought-tolerant shrub with fan-shaped leaves and white flowers.

2. Firebush (Hamelia patens): Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies with its vibrant red flowers.

3. Walter's Viburnum (Viburnum obovatum): A versatile shrub that can be used for hedges or as a specimen plant.

Creating a Florida-friendly garden involves more than just plant selection. Incorporate these landscaping ideas to enhance the beauty and sustainability of your garden:

Edible Landscaping

Combine aesthetics and functionality by incorporating edible plants into your garden design.

Fruit Trees: Plant fruit trees such as citrus, avocado, and fig, which thrive in Florida's climate.

Herb Gardens: Create an herb garden with rosemary, basil, oregano, and mint.

Vegetable Beds: Design raised beds or container gardens for growing vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens.

Butterfly Gardens

Attract butterflies and other pollinators by planting a variety of nectar-rich flowers and host plants.

Nectar Plants: Include flowering plants such as lantana, pentas, and butterfly bush.

Host Plants: Plant milkweed, passionflower, and fennel to provide food for caterpillars.

-Sheltered Areas: Create sheltered spots with shrubs and trees where butterflies can rest and lay eggs.

Practical Tips for Maintaining a Florida-Friendly Garden

Maintaining a Florida-friendly garden requires ongoing care and attention. Here are some practical tips to keep your garden healthy and thriving:

1. Water Wisely: Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation. Use rain barrels to collect and store rainwater for irrigation.

2. Fertilize Sparingly: Use organic fertilizers and compost to enrich the soil. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm plants and pollute waterways.

3. Prune Regularly: Prune plants to remove dead or diseased branches and encourage healthy growth. Follow proper pruning techniques to avoid damaging plants.

4. Monitor Pests: Keep an eye out for pests and diseases. Use integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, such as introducing beneficial insects and using natural remedies, to control pests.

5. Mulch: Apply mulch to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health. Replenish mulch as needed.

6. Weed Control: Regularly remove weeds to prevent them from competing with your plants for nutrients and water. Use mulch and landscape fabric to reduce weed growth.

Inspiring Florida-Friendly Garden Designs

To inspire your own garden design, here are some examples of beautiful and sustainable Florida-friendly gardens:

1. Tropical Paradise: Create a lush, tropical garden with a mix of palms, ferns, and colorful flowering plants. Add a water feature, such as a small pond or fountain, to enhance the tranquil atmosphere.

2. Coastal Retreat: Design a coastal-themed garden with salt-tolerant plants like sea oats, beach sunflower, and dune grass. Incorporate driftwood, shells, and a sandy path to complete the look.

3. Woodland Oasis: Transform a shady area into a woodland garden with native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. Add a winding path, benches, and a birdbath to create a peaceful retreat.

4. Butterfly Haven: Plant a variety of nectar-rich flowers and host plants to attract butterflies and pollinators. Include a mix of colors and heights to create visual interest and provide food and shelter for butterflies.

5. Mediterranean Escape: Use drought-tolerant plants like lavender, rosemary, and olive trees to create a Mediterranean-inspired garden. Incorporate terracotta pots, gravel paths, and a seating area for a touch of elegance.

Conclusion: Creating Your Florida-Friendly Garden

Designing a Florida-friendly garden is a rewarding and sustainable way to enhance your outdoor space. By selecting the right plants and incorporating thoughtful landscaping ideas, you can create a garden that thrives in Florida's unique climate while conserving resources and supporting local wildlife. Whether you choose to create a tropical paradise, a coastal retreat, or a butterfly haven, your Florida-friendly garden will provide beauty and enjoyment for years to come.

Cuneo: nel Parco Fluviale il regno delle orchidee

Cuneo: nel Parco Fluviale il regno delle orchidee. Presso la località Tetto Dolce, nella zona dell'alveo del torrente Gesso, oltre il viadotto della Pace che dall'altipiano porta alla Strada Provinciale 21, crescono 9 specie di orchidee, alcune delle quali risultano rare, rarissime o uniche rappresentanti della specie in Provincia. Questo spazio appartiene al territorio del Parco Fluviale Gesso e Stura, istituito nel 2007 dalla Regione Piemonte e di cui il Comune di Cuneo è "ente gestore". Ora il Comune chiede alla Regione Piemonte l'attivazione di una concessione demaniale su questa zona, per una durata di diciannove anni. Questo passaggio autorizzativo è necessario perché, una volta acquisita quest'area in concessione, il Parco potrà attivare ulteriori misure a tutela di questo habitat naturale, quali ad esempio l'installazione di sistemi leggeri di dissuasione all'accesso (massi o altri elementi fisici), volti ad impedire l'accesso all'area di mezzi meccanici e il posizionamento ai confini dell'area di bacheche o cartelli informativi con divieti e prescrizioni. La relazione tecnica che accompagna la domanda alla Regione spiega che "l'area è di grande interesse naturalistico ed è una delle zone meglio conservate nell'ambito del Parco". Nelle prime mappature naturalistiche, che alcuni anni or sono erano state redatte in collaborazione con le associazioni ambientaliste, era stata rilevata una sola specie di orchidea selvatica (O. holosericea). Dal marzo 2020 e nei periodi successivi, i prati hanno visto una massiccia fioritura di diverse specie, alcune rappresentate da centinaia di fiori. Oltre alle orchidee, tutta l'area, che si estende per circa 38 ettari (pari a 70 campi da calcio), è naturalisticamente interessante per i numerosi habitat che ospita. A beneficio di esperti e appassionati, si elencano: le macchie cespugliose di Ligustro (Ligustrum vulgare) e Viburno (Viburnum lantana), i boschi perifluviali a Pioppo nero e Salice bianco, e i boschi a Roverella, che qui assumono caratteristiche xerofile, integrandosi con le aree descritte come "xerotermofile a Sedum, muschi, licheni". Il tutto viene delimitato a ovest dal greto, periodicamente in secca. Non mancano altre essenze di pregio quali, per esempio, Biancospino (Crataegus monogyna) e Ginepro (Juniperus communis). I prati aridi sono caratterizzati dalle fioriture gialle di Achillea tomentosa. Si trova qui, inoltre una stazione di Parentucellia latifolia, una rara Orobancacea, e Artemisia annua, pianta medicinale non frequente. È stato osservato anche il Giglio martagone (Lilium martagon), probabilmente giunto qui dalla montagna in seguito alle piene del torrente. Fra gli animali si segnala la presenza, per esempio, di averla piccola, upupa e succiacapre, poco distante nidifica una colonia di Gruccione, e poi passeggiano caprioli, cinghiali, tassi, volpi e lepri. "Quest'azione rientra tra le finalità del Parco a tutela della biodiversità e dei territori dei fiumi e dei corsi d'acqua", spiega l'assessore all'ambiente Gianfranco Demichelis. "Sono contento che, grazie alla collaborazione delle associazioni ambientaliste e con il lavoro dei nostri tecnici, possiamo dare avvio a questo iter che ci consentirà di tutelare e valorizzare al meglio un piccolo tesoro naturalistico del nostro territorio. In attesa della formalizzazione dell'autorizzazione, stiamo già lavorando per allestire una cartellonistica esplicativa. Inoltre invito fin d'ora a partecipare al Trekking delle orchidee in programma per sabato 15 giugno per andare alla scoperta dell'area con il naturalista Dario Olivero alla scoperta dell'area."... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Wayfarer - Viorne lantane - Viburnum lantana 🌺

Viburnum lantana

[2018/05/02]

[5am-the-foxing-hour]

When you look up thoughts on the Orange side and remember that the flower representation is an orange Lantana flower things get interesting.

Name meaning: The genus name “lantana” comes from the Latin name of a species plant Viburnum lantana, a wayfaring tree which it resembles superficially.

Flower symbolism: Lantana represents: Rigor and Severity “I am Unyealding”

But Logan is our stoic character you say. What if Orange side is even worse, or, OR he had made a complete 180 and is a chaotic cryptid if the 07734 is anything to go by

“Lantana is mentioned in folklore as being of help in snakebite cases” 👀

Plant of the Day

Thursday 23 April 2020

In the local hedgerows the native shrub Viburnum lantana (wayfaring tree) is flowering. These white flowers will provide displays of red berries in the autumn. A hunter’s quiver from around 4,000–3,500 BC, found in the Austrian Alps, contained arrows made from the stems of this deciduous shrub as they were long, straight and strong with a suitable diameter for arrow shafts.
