Not only that, the leaves "fold down" to a sort-of 3-sided pyramid at night. About a half hour after turning my lamp on in my office (pretty bright uplight reflecting off the ceiling), the leaves are fully up & reaching for the light.
These were give to me by a co-worker from the Caribbean who...
So a few weeks ago, a large tree fell -toward- our yard.
It was about 40', right along the streambank on township property. Completely uprooted -
"If a tree falls out of the woods and you're powerwashing your deck at the time, does it make a sound?" Yes, apparently, but not one that I heard...
Old-fashioned??!?!? :(
No way. I mean, maybe. But being pretty new to this I wasn't aware "old fashioned" plants lose favor! (??????? huh???????) To me they look pretty modern, actually. Now, roses... THAT is old-fashioned. ;)
Anyway - I may knock on the door and ask about them. I'll do my...
Hello!
Carol: Southern New Jersey... guess I should add that to my profile.
thistlebloom: That's it! Never even heard of it. The pictures don't do it justice... it's really nice. I have never seen one in any of the local nurseries so I think I'll ask around.

St. John's Wort indeed. And look at that one in the pic on the right of the Wiki page - Looks like fireworks going off inside!
The issue with these is that they grow from the ground in a cluster of stems, an it's...
Hi again....
I've added a new pic to help identify the "mystery bush" (#31) - http://home.comcast.net/~turner410/yard/plant-pix/30.html
Hopefully that will help.
Regarding the Ivy, I sure don't want it to kill anything, including my siding/foundation :) - can this be grown from planters up a...
WOW! This is super helpful. You are a great crowd.
To answer your questions and add a few notes:
thistlebloom:
1) the "grass" listings are cracking me up. I'm a bit tired so when I got to 35 I just started laughing...
2) Fir seedling (?) Volunteer.. must have blown over from somewhere. I...
Hi all,
New here, and I really need some help with identifying plants around our home.
Long story short: we've live here (Southern NJ) for about 15 years now. A landscaper put a bunch of stuff in when we got here, but I don't remember what most of it is/was and we have added here and there...
