I was reading the link to Lichen. I have a Maple tree in our front yard that is covered with it. Makes for great photo shoots but had me worried something was wrong with the tree. I gather it is the quality of air perhaps? I am still trying to figure out what type Lichen is growing on the tree, seem to be 2 types. I call them Fern Lichen and Venus Flytrap since I cant find the actual given name. If you want to take a peek at my blog, I have the photo's listed of the Lichen.<br />Thank you for your blog, so informative.Tammy@Simple Southern Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027582211262125136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-4657488777834566772012-02-18T23:02:35.551-06:002012-02-18T23:02:35.551-06:00Never fear folks, the poinsettia phytoplasma will ...Never fear folks, the poinsettia phytoplasma will not attack your other plants. It's only known to infect a few species in the plant family Euphorbiaceae.

I'd kept it outside every summer and have many types of leaf-hopper in my yard...makes me wonder what kind of malaise nearby plants got from the situation. I left that poinsettia behind when I moved to die off in the fall freeze, I don't think I'll make a habit of keeping them after Christmas anymore.Garden Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657219826611994631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-80644102703520838502012-02-17T20:59:12.764-06:002012-02-17T20:59:12.764-06:00Great post!

Easter lilies are also uniformly infected with a certain virus, in this case Lily Symptomless Virus, which is also a stunter, otherwise they'd be close to 6' tall!<br /><br />As for Poinsettias, I think even you, oh great hater of Poinsettias, might have your breath taken away seeing the growing ranges of Ecke Ranch in San Diego!Tomhttp://theatrumbotanicum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-27351716550430909852012-02-17T18:12:40.455-06:002012-02-17T18:12:40.455-06:00Leaf hoppers are such gorgeous insects.
