mystery plant....friend or foe?
I have a plant in my front bed that I thought was going to be a
purple-flowered sage, but it has grown up to be a sparsely-leaved bush with fuzzy medium-green lance-shaped leaves that smell like some sort of herb, but I don't know what. Reminded me of juniper berries at first. It has weird greenish-yellow fuzzy-sticky flower buds, and the flowers are also fuzzy, maybe 1/4" across, star-shaped and greenish-yellow. Lovely description, I know, does that sound familiar to anyone? I don't know if it's a weed or what. Cindy |

No, this is Houston, TX; I'm from Montana and don't know all the native plants here and would like to know whether I have a weed or an herb, asshole. Cindy |

If this plant were in Austin, I would suspect that it is both a "weed and a herb" and the River City's favorite perennial. It smells even funnier when set on fire, btw. However, since you are in Houston, I am at without a clue... Sorry! Gae |

Here is what I thought you were joking about. http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/plant...i?symbol=CASA3 Maybe others did also. Everyone loves a good pun and if that is not what you were up to then I was wrong. Rusty Mase |

Cindy Can you post a picture somewhere (this is not an 'attachment' group)? The verbal description has obviously triggered some automatic responses. I, on the other hand, did not associate junipers with marijuana. If you had said, "Reminds me of hops" I would have been all over it ;-) |

The leaves of my weed are long and thin, but triangular and have no serration. I'll have to dig out an herb book. Cindy |

Sweet Cindy, You are a real charmer! If this plant were in Austin, I would suspect that it is both a "weed and a herb" and the River City's favorite perennial. It smells even funnier when set on fire, btw. However, since you are in Houston, I am at without a clue... Sorry! Gae I'M very sorry, I took that totally wrong. We've been having constant problems with really nasty trolls in the other newsgroup I frequent, and I thought you were putting me down for some reason I didn't understand.....sorry to be over-sensitive. GENERALLY I'm not an asshole. Cindy |

See above for my apology to Gae, I misunderstood her/him completely. Cindy |

My neighbor used to grow it when I lived in California... This was back in the 70's. Everyone knew and nobody cared. sigh Two of his Sativa plants were over 6' tall and some leaves had as many as 13 lobes. Beautiful plants! :-) K. -- Sprout the Mung Bean to reply... ,,Cat's Haven Hobby Farm,,Katraatcenturyteldotnet,, http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...user id=katra |
