Unusual, but according to referenced site, not a good plant....are those berry edible (animal/birds) or toxic, decorative?
In my neck of the woods - Illinois - all my blossoming plants have been spectacular! Early in season cut down a magnolia because it suddenly just turned brown.....well now Im getting shoots were the main trunk is...will let it grow and see what happens...sorry to see fall approaching..and then the dreaded winter! |

Jokir44, it is about 8 feet high, but it has taken a long time to get there. Tartan, my Black Eyed Susans didn't flower at all this year either....just not a great year for flowering annual vines, I guess. Watson I must say it's a lovely plant, but after reading about it's invasive properties I will have to decline. My husband and I have a business in the horticulture industry and I was wondering why I haven't heard of this plant before through trade shows and my customers. Now I know why. Pity. |
The berries are pretty.
I have heard a honeysuckle vine is next to impossible to get rid of. I cut it out and every year I saw a sprig I cut it out. The vine never came back. |
How unusual and beautiful a plant. Thank you for sharing it with us.
|
What great color combinations! Now I know what to add to my teal fabrics! Thanks!
|
How unique. It is beautiful.

never seen that plant before. Around here, Bradley pears have become invasive, just like Eastern Red Cedars.

Could you dye fabric with those? Reminds me of poke salad...the colors.

That is a unique plant. It actually looks fake because it is so unusual. I wonder if it would grow in Louisiana. Probably not. We are so hot and humid that we do kill some plants.
