Plant Lore--"Halloween" ...no matter how creepy!

[Greensage45]

In the UK, elder trees are supposed to be the special trees related to witches--various sources claim that witches are reincarnated as elder trees, send their spirits to hang out in elder trees, are the guardians of elder trees, etc......

I like the idea of a Spirit in a Tree!

Since I was a child I suspected such things and grew to appreciate trees as an entity. There is a Slippery Elm Tree near my home that I visit on walks and I call her Sister Tree!

Thank you Rosalind! :bouquet

This isn't a halloween game but it is certainly a fall game. I got 36 on my first try. I just want to thank you all because I have really found this thread, the information and the photos very enjoyable.

Thank you deenamr for the nice words about this thread! It is sort of like the Season of Autumn, in the Wind sort of thing!

That game reminds me of the good old Atari Space invaders type games. I will not say how well I didn't do ! lol

Dee is right, thanks for this thread! it is very cool.
You sure have went out of your way to put some very interesting content into it Ron. Also nice to see others joining in and posting neat and interesting material.

The Bat Flower is sweet! I would like one of every weird plant posted.
I know I would have to put them in a cage! No not because of the wild looking plant. Just to keep stupid people from ripping it apart because it is nice! Again I weep!

Oh Thanks,

You know there is a whole host of plant types we could talk about in here.

What amazes me is the ability of the Plant Kingdom to provide us with such pleasures that we perceive Sensuality and Beauty from it; but, equally so, the Plant Kingdom provides us with the hideous and the grotesque! It is all very appealing to the senses at times!

Does anyone keep 'Carnivorous Plants' ?

Before I go on a rampage and do a post on them, why not see if there are any out there that anyone would like to share. The Pitcher Plant is one that I have always admired!

I had a Pitcher Plant. Some how I let it die.

I like were this is going, can't wait to see what you have for use Ron!

those are cool trees, especially the ones that look like women. speaking of women, i have a thistle in each pocket today.

i grow some carnivorous plants from time to time but mostly i just let nature do her thing. they grow all over the farm. pitcher plants and sundews mostly. i think it would be illegal to disturb them

Did you say some in each pocket? Oh boy that's not good!
Oh boy! At least tell us that you did not put any in your back pocket!
