Is it a type of palm? If so, here is a link that might help. http://mgonline.com/popularpalms.html best wishes, slave emma Master Howard's little girl 12 May 08, 9:15 AM anjuli UK, 4 yrs Argh! I wanna see now. My first thought was palm too. Amazing how hard it is to describe a plant in just words eh? What texture are the leaves? Is the trunk actually woody or fibrous? What colour is it? anjuli <hopping up and down in impatience> It is an outdoor plant right not a pot plant? ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~ 12 May 08, 6:51 PM little_linnet US, 6 yrs Is it an azalea? or a rhododendron? or an aralia? ETA: even if it is a zone hardy plant don't just plop it outside -- let it adjust in a shady place with no wind first, and move it out into the elements gradually. If it's been inside, and it's cold outside where you are, wait for it to warm up some before you put the plant out. Otherwise you'll shock it. Krista No feminist thinks men and women are exactly the same. But what we reject is the notion that the difference between men and women is that men are human and women are objects.

Hi Plant Porn Princess, You have my leaves all aflutter with your deep green prose. If it looks like a rhododendron, but the leaves are waxier and thinner and the new small leaves are a paler, shinier green than the older leaves, you may have a tropical plant that my mother used to call an "umbrella plant" but that is clearly not the correct name. (My mother has never correctly named a plant as far as I know.) It may be a scheleffera (or in that family). In which case, you cannot plant it outside in the wilds of Michigan. It will freeze. It is most likely a medium or low-light plant with that arrangement of leaves and it may be an indoor plant to boot. I used to keep one that fits your description on the shady porch in the summer in Ohio and then brought it inside before it got cold. But I'm cruel to plants, so you can't trust me too much. Trust Krista. She's clearly the most conscientious plant person around. Carolyn And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. --Erica Jong 15 May 08, 6:59 AM anjuli UK, 4 yrs Yarakot wrote: tangie wrote: Yeah.. my tender, delicate new shoots slowly open, yielding to the unplacable demands of the woman behind the camera, who has already delved into my most secret places, the roots and branches of my being.

Hi Plant Porn Princess, You have my leaves all aflutter with your deep green prose. <giggles> Excellent. Who'd have thought that the potting shed would be a place of heaving, hot-breathed, fun eh? Perhaps we could call this corner the hot house? All plant porn questions answered... or at least enjoyed. I'm no use to you so far anyway Barbara. An umberella plant sounds like a good idea but I think you said, less waxy, not more. Hmmm. anjuli ~~~ “I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” - Anais Nin ~~~ 15 May 08, 3:19 PM Tanos UK, 14 yrs Y! tangie wrote: Help? In the Bridgewoodean System of plant classification (Poplar, Ash, Oak, Sycamore, Birch, Hawthorne, Grass, Nettle, Ivy, Bramble, Dock, Thistle, Something Else) this is identified as "Something Else". Hope that helps.

But I can tell you it won't flower, and don't plant it outside. At a garden shop at least in Michigan it is sold with the house plants. sweetspot 15 May 08, 5:50 PM 207-063-737 US, 5 yrs Look up Dwarf Schefflera sweetspot Next page
