Amianthium muscitoxicum
Hi all,
Re: Amianthium muscitoxicum
I noticed a USA mail order nursery listed this plant this year; but I can remember which. Did anyone see it?
Think was probably in WA or Or or BC
Thanks,

I have a black walnut(Juglans nigra) stump. The tree was cut down six years ago. My understanding is that the juglone is no longer active one year after the tree's death. This may or may not be the case. I would have the stump ground out, except that there is a redbud in very close proximity to it. Does anyone know of any perennials, mosses, ferns or anything else that favor black walnut stumps as growing sites?
I just discovered a very neat feature in iPhoto of which I was completely ignorant. (Gee, I wish Apple would actually provide some instruction documentation with their products!! :rolleyes:) If you use a camera that is equipped with GPS, you can see the geographical coordinates of your photos on a Google map in iPhoto. For example, here's the route of a hike we took into Panorama Meadows in Banff National Park, as shown by the approximate coordinates of various photos I took:
It is good news!!! It appears that High Country Gardens will be keeping their on line mail order business going. Here is the link. http://www.highcountrygardens.com/
I am hoping to draw on the experience of Rock gardeners for potential new plant materials for green roofs. Plants that would work well, would include, those that like it hot, dry, sunny, windy, and exposed, in a gravelly somewhat alkaline shallow soil with around ~20% organic matter, and ~80% mineral. Currently, sedums dominate the market. Other plants in somewhat common use include those of the genera; Allium, Talinum, Opuntia, and Sempervivum.
I'm thinking there's many more out there, that would love a green roof. Any ideas?
Just got my first quarterly, and wanted to check the online content, but can't access it without a membership number, which I cannot find. Is it printed on the packaging for the hard copy of the bulletin? If so, I'm out of luck as it probably went out with the trash!
I'm planning a new rock garden, and I'd like advice on whether to lay out landscape cloth at the base. My plan is to create a mound of tufa (with a sandy mix filled in between the stones) above the existing ground, which is loamy soil. Is it worth using landscape cloth to try to discourage worms? I don't think I need landscape cloth to discourage weeds -- the site was a lawn with few weeds.
Thanks for any advice.
Hope you're doing okay there, Todd!

We are 11 days late on this topic!
A couple views of some of my garden beds in the last couple of days-- not a whole lot to see! but you see some of the 'ridges' of the rock gardens and berms I've been developing, and looking at them this winter under snow, I've realised that these winter shapes should be taken into account at the design phase, since this is what I see for months at a time!

I made yesterday a small Facebook page
