Do you know the Japanese Lantern wildflower or weed? Does it still grow anywhere?
545298
Physalis alkekengi (Japanese or Chinese Lantern or Bladder-cherry), is a relative of P. peruviana (Cape Gooseberry), easily identifiable by the larger, bright orange to red papery covering over its fruit, which resemble Chinese lanterns. It is native from southern Europe east across southern Asia to Japan.\n\nIt is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 40-60 cm tall, with spirally arranged leaves 6-12 cm long and 4-9 cm broad. The flowers are white, with a five-lobed corolla 10-15 mm across, with an inflated basal calyx which matures into the papery orange fruit covering, 4-5 cm long and broad.\n\nYou can find them growing in Cina and Japan!

what the hell is 'the hydro'? HYDRO IS NOT A TYPE OF WEED, it just means it was grown in water, i've bought hydro that was completely poop before. besides, growing hydroponically is in no way easy at all. anyway, if you want potency, a couple strains are; white widow, northern lights, nyc diesel, ice, god bud, neville's haze, ak47. the only real 'easy' strain is lowryder. otherwise try to find a strain that doesn't have a long flowering period, these should be easier to work with.

That is Murraya paniculata, commonly known as orange jasmine or mock orange in the US and as rain bush in Australia. It is a native of Australia and South East Asia and a serious environmental weed in Hawaii.\n\nThe plant comes in a variety of forms, with the Australian form having smaller, rounder olive green leaves and more leaflets to each leaf. The one in your photo looks like the Malayan form, with large glossy green leaves and relatively few leaflets. There are also cultivated dwarf forms that only grow to a a metre or so in height that make reasonable indoor plants\n\nThey are available at most nurseries and grow  well in most of the southern US. \n\nEdit>>>>\n\nMaverick that is most definitely NOT any type of Gardenia. Gardenias are characterised by TERMINAL infloresences and an INFERIOR gynoecium. You can  see quite plainly from the photographs that this plant has AXILLIARY inflorescences and the gynoecium is SUPERIOR.\n\nMoreover, as you yourself point out, G. jasminoides has SIMPLE leaves. This plant quite clearly has COMPOUND leaves. To the untrained eye this may not be obvious, but look at the first photo provided and look at the flower at the top right. If you look at the leaf that is partially obscuring that flower you can quite clearly see the individual leaflets. \n\nAdded to that G jasminoides has >11 perianth parts. These flowers have 5-10. Have a look at some Gogle images of G. jasminoides. The flowers all have >6 petals and have a superficial similarity to roses. These flowers have only 5 petals.\n\nThis plant quite clearly belongs to the Rutacea. It can not therefore be a Gardenia.\n\nI'm not sure if you are claimiong to be a botanist yourself or that your information comes form a botanist, but I would fail my botany students for identifying that plant as a member of the Rubiacea.

Ditto.\nI was in Holland visiting a family friend. He told me that you can grow it legally but you cannot sell it.

There is a plant that floats on the Amazon River.  It's flower is about 6 feet in diameter.  It's some variation of water lily if I'm not mistaken.

Check by visiting the website lists of reputable seed companies such as Thompson and Morgan. Any restrictions on the supply of seed to specific countries will be posted there.  I can't imagine why Canada would choose to proscribe this plant, in the UK it is a common  native weed  but not invasive or an ecological threat.\nWhy would you want to grow it anyway? I spend too much time pulling it out!

google search string [ "soap plant" "Native American" ]\n-------------------------------\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant, Chlorogalum pomeridianum, is the commonest and most widely distributed of the Soap Plants, Soaproots or Amoles, which make up the genus Chlorogalum of flowering plants. It is found in most of California, apart from the Sierra Nevadas and the deserts, and also in south-western Oregon. It is occasionally known as the "wild potato", but given the plant's lack of either resemblance or relationship to the potato, this name is not recommended.\n\nLike all the Soap Plants, the Wavy-leafed Soap Plant is a perennial that grows from a bulb, which is brown, between 7 and 15 cm in diameter, slightly elongated, and covered in thick, coarse fibres. The leaves grow from the base of the plant, and can be from 20 to 70 cm long and 6 to 25 mm wide. As the plant's name indicates, their edges are generally wavy, though this is not always particularly noticeable. The flowers are borne on a long stem, normally longer than the leaves, and are from 15 to 30mm long. The six petals (actually only three of them are petals in the technical sense; the other three are sepals) are up to 35mm long and curving. They are generally white but have a noticeable mid-vein which can be purple or green in colour. The six stamens are large and noticeable, and yellow or orange. The flowers are hermaphrodite. They open only in the late afternoon or evening, remaining open during the night but closing by the morning. Pollination is by evening- or night-flying insects.\n\nThe Wavy-leafed Soap Plant grows on rock bluffs, grasslands, chaparral, and in the more open woodlands.\n\nThree varieties are recognised:\n\n    * Chlorogalum pomeridianum var. divaricatum, endemic to some coastal regions of California (the Central Coast and southern parts of the North Coast), and only found at elevations below about 100 metres.\n    * C. p. var. minus, found in the inner north and outer south Pacific Coast Ranges of California, and the San Francisco Bay Area. This variety has a less fibrous bulb than the others.\n    * C. p. var. pomeridianum, found throughout the range of the species.\n\nThe juices of the bulb contain saponins that form a lather when mixed with water, and both Native American people and early European settlers used the bulbs as a kind of soap; this is the origin of the plant's name. It was particularly used for washing hair, since it was held to be effective against dandruff. Extracts of the bulbs could also be used as a sealant or glue.\n\nThe young leaves can be used as food, but the saponins in the bulbs make these poisonous. However saponins are very poorly absorbed by the body and usually pass straight through, and in any case they can be destroyed by thorough cooking. The Miwok people roasted and ate the bulbs as a winter food. Saponins are much more toxic to some other animals than they are to humans. Fish are particularly susceptible, and the bulb juices were used to kill or stun them so they could be caught easily.\n\nThe bulbs also had various medicinal uses, both external (e.g. for making a poultice to be used as an antiseptic, or as a rub in cases of rheumatism) and internal (decoctions were used for a range of purposes, including as a diuretic, as a laxative and against stomach ache). The fibres surrounding the bulb were widely used, bound together, to make small brushes.\n\nThe basionym of the species was Scilla pomeridianum. It has also been known as Loathoe pomeridiana.\n-----------------------------\nYucca glauca, are called soap plant because their roots are especially good for making soap.\n\nNative American tribes in the southwestern United States and Northern Mexico found numerous uses for the yucca, dating back hundreds of years. Several tribes, including the Western Apaches on the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona, use the plant today. The most co

Yes, I have. It was with a tropical plant. I can't tell you the name of it. But it was awful. I never touched that plant again and had my brothers pull it out and remove it from the yard.

Well, djddan, don't know where you got your information ...\nGinkgo trees were first "discovered" by a westerner (a dutchman, in fact) growing in temples at Nagasaki, Japan, in around 1690. They are asian plants, and any of them growing anywhere in the US must be cultivated and cannot possibly date to before the Pilgrims arrived.\nThey might potentially live a long time but I don't think you can count non-native trees.

the only "elmwood" I've ever heard of is also called japanese maple.\n\n"An upright grower to perhaps 10', with light green leaves that are reticulated when young, reminding one of 'Sister Ghost' or Peaches & Cream. Also sold as "Elmwoodie". This is a new cultivar about which not much is known, at least by us".

You can grow it anywhere, anywhere that is dank, dark and moist.  Native Americans just won the right from the government to use it in their religious rites.\n\nPictures\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=psilocybin&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&ei=UTF-8&fr2=tab-web\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=psilocybin&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8
