Okay, you guys are starting to know me a little too well. No, Moonstruck was not adapted from a book :) But if it had been, it'd be dog-eared on my bookshelf, believe you me! The quote I wrote down is more of a contemporary classic. A hint? Mellors is the name of the hero. Maybe "bane" was a little strong, but it's certainly annoying that Every Single Term, at least one student asks, with wide-eyed tabloid eyes, if Mary M. and J. really did make babies... Have you heard about those historians who have filed a lawsuit, claiming that Brown plagiarized from one of their books? You know, if my academic work were in ANY way associated with that book, I wouldn't advertize it. To their credit, though, they claim that one of the reasons they've filed the lawsuit is because they feel that being associated with Brown's book makes their own work look bad. I like the idea of a "truth-sorter", though :) Sounds like some sort of futuristic, robotic computer device - like you'd find in a "Jetsons" court room.

Dorothy...I was out shopping tonight, but not for Christmas gifts!!! I needed potting soil for my brugs....the roots are wanting soil! It is hard to find soil this time of year. *************************WE HAVE A WINNER OF ALEINA & BRINDEI'S BIRTHDAYS!!! AMELIA!!! Congratulations!!!! The birthdays are March 9, 10. Aleina was born in 1992 and Brindei in 2004. My two heart dogs only born one day apart. Thank you all for playing! You did a great job learning about Afghan Hounds. Maybe next year when my brug cuttings flower and grow we can do a game with them. I hope I will know much more about them by then. I have enjoyed inviting you all in for a peek into my family, who are near and dear to my heart! Holiday blessings to all of you! Amelia please send me your address. Joyce

Guess this Plant/Garden Quiz Game 3
Q

#1 - the "correct" common name. I started doing a bit of research on this plant and is there ever a lot of discrepancy on it. I'm finding articles that say that Van Leenan doesn't even exist yet I've found other works that he has done, so I'm not convinced that's true. And I've found many reports that say that this plant does not have any effect on repelling mosquitoes. Others say its wonderful. But, the scientific data seems to say otherwise. I've never had one (MIL did years ago) but the reports say it is quite expensive because it is only propagated by cuttings. I was thinking about getting a couple for my deck but I'm not sure if the smell is quite what I want. I like my "floral" fragrances. Anybody want to start a thread to let us know your thoughts and experiences? In the meantime, find the correct common name. (teehee) While your at it, tell us why the names that Sharon has given are technically incorrect, even for a common name. Shauna

Nope, not a bleeding heart or a spectabilis.

The rootstock bears numerous small tubers resembling grains of yellow corn....

Looks like Dicentra Exima, possibly 'Boothman's Variety.'

Still think it's a Dicentra.

Here is a link that might be useful: Dicentra

"Dicentra, is a genus that some say belongs in the Fumariaceae family. Others chose to include that family as a subfamily, Fumarioideae, in the Papaveraceae? family".

It is of the Dicentra family...and the link shows the Dicentra Canadenis is there...same as photo...The book I am using is 'Wildflowers In Color' by Arthur Stupka w/assistance of Donald Robinson...identifies it as being in the 'poppy family', doesn't give scietific name....

So Eric, Dicentra family is correct but it is canadensis...your still pretty good!

Do you study plants and their scientific names? and how on earth do you begin to even decide what to look for?

the above book has more than 250 wildflowers incolor, primarily about flowers of Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Shenendoah Park copyrighted 1965...I'm sure there are lots of newer field guides that are up to date...but it has helped me identify quite a few plants in my area...cos it's not so huge that I can't go picture by picture...
