In one way we can also have yerba buena preparation into our own home.But do u guys recognize yerba buena clearly ?Well this plant is a creeping herb that rises to only 20 centimeters or 8 inches from the ground its stems are fleshy or non-woody and the leaves are coarse ,this plant is also strongly aromatic.<br />
However there are also another creeping plant that is also called Yerba Buena ,known scientifically as Mentha Arvensis L. and also commonly as Poleo or Poliyo in some places,this non medicinal yerba buena has narrower leaves and bears pale lilac flowers ,while the medicinal yerba buena does not flower in the philippines.<br />
Here we go ,medicinal uses of yerba buena. <br />
Yerba Buena is indicated or used primarily as pain reliever .The medicinal term for pain reliever is analgesic .As analgesic Yerba Buena is effective for headache .toothache ,and pains caused by athritis and uses as gaseous distention ,and a mouthwash.ok guys thats all for now...thanks to Yerba Buena plant it can help a lot if you know how.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-26250928747847226552012-09-16T05:10:00.001-07:002012-09-16T05:10:04.200-07:00What will you do when you see Bear in the forest?(OMG) might scared!I like to learn about animals because I planned to build a zoo someday.I studied about Bear animals today.And I know something about them.Oh really feel good,when i saw bears in the zoo but when in forest oh i wanna die...lol
Anyway lets get to know what Bear behavior and etc.Bears are found in most part of the world except for Australia and Africa.They have short ,powerful limbs and heavy,broad heads with strong jaws.They also have long claws for digging and tearing,they do not have sharp eyesight,but their sense of smell is excellent,although they usually move slowly and often look clumsy,they can run quite fast if they have to ,and most kinds of bear can climb tree's.There are seven species of bear which include several of the worlds largest carnivores.The largest bear of all is the Alaskan brown bear which can weigh over 750 kg.It is actually the same species as the grizzly of western North America and the brown bear of Europe and Siberia .The Polar Bear lives in snowy Arctic regions ,where its all white coate provides it with perfect comouflage.All of the five remaining bears have black coats.They are the American black bear ,the Asian black bear ,the spectacled bear ,the sloth bear and the sun bear.Bears that inhabit cold areas hibernate for the winter.Brown and black bears eat almost anything ,including leaves ,roots ,fruits ,honey,worms ,fish and small animals.Polar bears hunt small whales and seals .Sloth bears are more fussy ,they feed only on ants and termites.oh thats the lives of bears.Despite their size bears are usually shy,they attack only if disturbed or cornered.Now I learned about bears needs and behavior.Thanks!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-86202926970853336112012-09-11T20:59:00.000-07:002012-09-16T05:27:50.688-07:00Cactus or cacti grow in a dry places especially in deserts.Today i wanna study about cacti .I have cacti plant inside the house putted in a flower pot and oh nice cacti always in fresh looks even not watered in about few days .I'd bear in my mind when i saw my cacti plant that it's too different from other plants when i read the whole detail of cacti i did knew that they can lived in a very hot places especially deserts.oh nice ,not a thirsty plant.lol
ok here watchout guys ,there are hundreds of different cacti ,but they all have one thing in common they are able to grow in a very hot and dry climates.Cacti can do this because they store water in their fleshy stems.They are covered with prickly spines instead of leave's.The spines protect the plants' stores of water from raids by thirsty desert animals.Cacti come in all shapes and sizes ,from small pincushion -sized spicemens to the giant saguaro cactus that may reach 15 m in height.They make ideal nest site for birds including owls and woodpeckers.Cacti also provide food for a variety of small animals.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-18737041891493004442012-09-10T20:25:00.001-07:002012-09-10T20:33:10.015-07:00Butterfly is one of the most beautiful flying insects .Last day I taking care of my garden ,i saw a butterfly get on my roses blooming flowers and oh what a nice color of the butterfly has a yellow color wings with matching blue and brown body.I hate black color coz in the old beliefs its not good omen.oh sad...but I was very happy to see butterflies flying in my garden oh i hope they will always visit in my flowers.<br />
This time I will give little information about butterflies,they are the flying insects.They are related to moths ,and lived most parts of the world,even as far north as the Arctic Circle.All butterflies begin their lives as caterpillars,which hatch from eggs.When a caterpillar is fully grown it changes into a chrysalis with a hard skin .Inside this the chrysalis changes into an adult butterfly .When it is ready ,the butterfly breaks out and flies away to find a mate and lay eggs of its own.We recognize that a butterfly has many different colours and they are made wonderful.Yes butterflies comes in many colours ,shapes ,sizes .If the human being has a queen the butterfly had also.And the largest kind is Queen Alexandra's birdwing of new Guinea which has a swingspan of 28 cm .At the other end of the scale the dwarf blue of South Africa measures just 14 mm from wingtip to wingtip.oh see.They have queen and dwarf butterflies.oh gosh wonderfully made.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-25950718432226742162012-09-07T03:59:00.000-07:002012-09-07T03:59:03.054-07:00Beetle has different kinds.Let's get to know the lives of beetles.Beetles are insects that more than 300,000 different kinds are known,some of it are small as a pinhead,others are very large.Beetles come in many shapes , but they all have six pairs of legs and a hard case covering their back.The scientific name for the order of all beetles is coleoptera.I saw the flying beetles sometime makes me scared coz it looks like a bee.last night i saw one beetle flying in my room , I took the beetle
and let fly for free in the outside of the house.ok anyway the african goliath beetle grows up to 10 cm long and can weigh 100 g.Beetle start their lives as eggs which hatch into grubs,or larvae.The larvae then turn into chrysalices,or pupae,before the adult beetles emerge.Many beetles and their larvae are destructive pests such as weevils,wireworms and colorado beetles do great damage to crops ,and woodworms eat through timber.However some beetles can be extremely useful,like ladybird are small colorful beetles that eat harmful insects such as aphids and greenflies,the burying beetles and dung beetles they clear animals and dung which the beetles later use as food,burying beetles bury the corpses of small birds and mammals by digging soil from under them,then the beetles lay their eggs on the buried animals for their grubs to feed on when they hatch.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-28074266912445644342012-06-11T22:15:00.001-07:002012-06-15T05:56:32.539-07:00COCKCROACHGood morning guys,
I am glad to introduce my topic today ,its all about Cockroach it is a kind of insect that we easily find at home /buildings.Yes I knew some of us really known of this insect.Oh some of us really aware of.
For more information cockroach comes from the spanish word "cucaracha" chafer,beetle from "cuca" kind of caterpillar.The scientific of this derives from the Latinized greek name from the insect "doric greek" ,Ionic and attic greek.And in the English form Cockroach is a <i><b>folk etymology</b></i> reanalysis of the spanish word into meaningful native parts,although <i>cock</i> referred to a <i>rooster</i> and a <i>roach</i> is a type of fish.
The behavior of Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world.Pests species of cockroaches adopt readily to a variety.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-24946605246221515642012-05-10T12:05:00.001-07:002012-05-10T12:05:03.425-07:00Purple Grenadier are small birds but wise and responsible<p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nueaDZfek08/T6wRB9LxXAI/AAAAAAAAAsc/GXDU8X9QqmQ/s1600-h/MaleGrenadier7.gif"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Male Grenadier" border="0" alt="Male Grenadier" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EmxSy9TyCmE/T6wRGZSXr1I/AAAAAAAAAsk/NiiTnU_t9-E/MaleGrenadier_thumb5.gif?imgmax=800" width="251" height="199" /></a> I like studying about wild life and nature. Today I will share an article about Purple Grenadiers. This bird is a common finch of eastern Africa. The Purple Grenadier weighs approximately 15-16g and 5.25 inches in length. To identify male and female grenadier. The female is smaller and mostly light brown with silvery markings around its eyes. The male is generally violet-blue color with a cinnamon colored head and a red bill. The diet of this bird, they eat small seeds of grasses and <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lskM-_8Ees8/T6wRK34JATI/AAAAAAAAAss/EXCtuXkeuZo/s1600-h/FemaleGranadier5.gif"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Female Granadier" border="0" alt="Female Granadier" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-2RnQytXAaU4/T6wRNQjWizI/AAAAAAAAAs0/HGwYt9ReWf8/FemaleGranadier_thumb3.gif?imgmax=800" width="273" height="184" /></a> small herbaceous plants. The grenadier can be found in Ethiopia, Southern Sudan, Northeast Uganda, Somali, Kenya, and Eastern Tanzania. Wow, this bird is like a real couple in human life. The male usually build nest, the nest mage of grass stems and panicles and usually find in low bushes or trees. </p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xogAsrNIOLc/T6wRR7He_oI/AAAAAAAAAs8/9Ap3USbHOcU/s1600-h/PurpleGrenadiereggs3.gif"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="Purple Grenadier eggs" border="0" alt="Purple Grenadier eggs" align="left" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-B3YHruRQUkg/T6wRV11K1YI/AAAAAAAAAtE/YmQsFuYRLf4/PurpleGrenadiereggs_thumb1.gif?imgmax=800" width="220" height="149" /></a> Ask for reproduction, the female usually have 3-5 eggs and she incubate eggs in twelve to fourteen days. The young fledge in about three weeks looking much like dull copies of the female without the breast specking. The sexes can be identify after about three or four months. This species of bird is a common victim of brood parasitism from the straw-tailed Whydah. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-64248468717493657232012-04-08T17:38:00.001-07:002012-04-08T17:38:03.645-07:00Going on a Cruise<p align="justify">Contribution by Kennith Griffin</p> <p align="justify">My family and I are tired of the same old boring family vacation. We have always gone one of two places, the beach or the mountains. Usually we just alternate between the two every year. This year will be different. As a surprise to my oldest daughters that just graduated high school, we are going on a cruise. This is all possible because of the money we saved with <a href="http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/just-energy-texas/Texas/F/Flower-Mound/">Just energy</a>. Our crusie leaves from Miami in 2 weeks. I have got to get to the tanning salon. I can't show up on my cruise looking white as a ghost. My kids are so excited, they have never been on a cruise before. What am I saying, I have never been on a cruise before. I hope that I don't get motion sickness on the cruise. They say the ships are so big that you don't even notice it rocking back and forth like you would on a smaller boat. I hope that is true.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-3368414493047099562012-03-26T12:30:00.001-07:002012-03-26T12:30:15.596-07:00The Green- winged Macaw are the largest Macaw parrots<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">There are many kinds of Macaw but today I will share an article about <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-29bt4fNxFmI/T3DDjA3pvwI/AAAAAAAAAr8/a9-Z_hIa3vQ/s1600-h/Macaw%25255B12%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Macaw" border="0" alt="Macaw" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DYGZbOvD5CY/T3DDnSGr5II/AAAAAAAAAsE/Ol_j-P_wK80/Macaw_thumb%25255B10%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="293" height="325" /></a> Green-winged Macaw. Based on my research it is one of the largest Macaw parrots. It is beautiful in color, very distinguished its own right. It is considered to be one of the most docile Macaws and often referred to as the 'gentle giants.The Green -wing Macaws are usually between 26-39 inches 66-99 cm long including tail.

This bird live in forests, swampland, open savannas, palm groves and along riverbanks depending on the ability of land and the country in which they are found. To identify the green Macaw, the breast is bright red, but the lower feathers of the wing are green. Further, this bird has characteristic red lines around the eyes formed by rows of tiny one of the biggest differences from a scarlet macaw to the casual viewer. Macaw are very messy eaters, their extremely strong beaks are perfect adapted for eating all sorts of nuts and seeds, as seen in their ability to crack open incredibly hard-shelled nuts such as Brazil nuts with ease. </font></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-66059830600651126302012-03-03T15:36:00.001-08:002012-03-03T15:36:09.796-08:00Music<p align="justify">Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan</p> <p align="justify">I am a bit of a renaissance man when it comes to music. I love anything from classical to hip hop. My new <a href="http://internet.clear.com/internet-service-providers/">clear internet</a> card allows me to be able to download and listen to music wherever I want. I love Pandora radio. Pandora lets you input a band that you like and it will find other bands for you that are similar. As I have recently taken an interest in indie rock, I discovered an awesome band call "Minus the Bear". It also just so happened that this band was going to be performing in my hometown in several weeks. My friend and I bought tickets and decided to attend the show. This show was epic. Now this band doesn't have a big name that everyone would recognize, but they took the cake. This was quite possible the best concert that I have been to in my life. The venue was not that large either. There were maybe 300 people there. This made for a very intimate experience however and they have become one of my all-time favorite bands.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-31083282674649743272012-02-21T12:13:00.001-08:002012-02-21T12:13:03.599-08:00Heron Gray<p align="justify">I am fascinated to birds of any kind.

I remember when my cousin was young and he used to hit the birds he seen. I hate those kind of attitude or mannerism and I try to stop him but he seems to have an obsession of being mean to birds and other kinds of animals such as rats, reptiles etc. Now, let me talk to you about Heron gray. This creature is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperature in Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the middle of South and West but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions. This bird eat whatever the can catch such as fish, arthropods, amphibians, insects, crustacea, and even small mammals. They are not above scavenging and stealing prey caught by other birds.  </p> <p align="justify"> As you can see the picture here, the heron gray have long neck, long legs, powerful bills for a long and strong reach. It is such a tall bird with yellow dagger like beak. The upper part is grey, the head and neck is <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-625eaNnH72k/T0P6uxRAKLI/AAAAAAAAArs/FUsvbIBJ6fY/s1600-h/Heron%252520gray%25255B10%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Heron gray" border="0" alt="Heron gray" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PSwAGzt1DQY/T0P6yZc9alI/AAAAAAAAAr0/T7tIM76ysI8/Heron%252520gray_thumb%25255B8%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="311" height="275" /></a>white and has a broad black streak from above the eye through to a long crest. The neck and head are longer than the body. The length is about 98 cm, the wingspan is about 198 cm and the weight is about 1500g. This bird live about 25 years. In Britain, the heron is their tallest bird and one of the most easily recognized. The heron gray, generally nest in colonies, they roost and nest in groups, they hunt alone but when prey is plentiful, they may feed in groups, evenly spaced out. The one do most of the nest construction is the female. The male find and bring nesting materials to the females. After the nest is use they will use them again year after year and so it grows in size until it is several feet across. Both parents share incubation which starts as soon as the first egg is laid.This bird work like human and I am fascinated for them. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-7465897519445360492012-02-06T09:49:00.001-08:002012-02-06T09:49:04.698-08:00Giant Armadillo can reach 130 pounds<p align="justify"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vmWS_uHzhY0/TzASUx602SI/AAAAAAAAAq8/-WFKghHo6R0/s1600-h/Armadillo%25255B13%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Armadillo" border="0" alt="Armadillo" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-V0bG2WvKxmQ/TzASZ0FlHpI/AAAAAAAAArE/lOU6-d95WzQ/Armadillo_thumb%25255B11%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="282" height="280" /></a> When I was in my country Philippines, I never heard about Giant Armadillo as there is no Armadillo live in my country. According to my husband, Armadillo are brought by Mexican people in the United State. When my husband and I go to town, I saw several Armadillo got hit by vehicles and I feel sorry about it. Base on what I saw, Armadillo is covered with flexible armor. They look weird and have a cute mouth and have large powerful claws. I don't know if they are dangerous but when my dog saw an Armadillo she chase them. Now lets talk about Giant Armadillo. The giant Armadillo measure about 30-40 inches long, and their tails reach about 20 inches. They weigh about 40-70 pounds but they also reach 130 pounds.

Armadillo are very fast on the ground and can sometimes balance themselves on their hind legs and tails with their forefeet off the ground. They live in burrows near water in grassland, brush land, woodland and forest habitats. They eat termites, spiders, worms, snakes, carrion and insects. This creature are nocturnal which means, they are active at night and sleep during day time. Armadillo usually have 1-2 offspring. As for the breeding interval, so far is not known yet so is their breeding season. Maybe because they hide during day time and come out during night time. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-28469783513542252122012-02-01T14:43:00.001-08:002012-02-01T14:43:03.345-08:00Edinburgh apartments for rent<p align="justify">If you are visiting Edinburgh and are looking for a place to stay, look no further.

The Gaur is the only member of the subgenus Bibos which has been elevated to a genus by some authorities Nowak, 1991, Wilson and Reeder, 1993. It is said to have been founded by the mythic figure Lakshmana, and its most ancient name was Lakshamanavati, corrupted into Lakhnauti. Base on my research Gaur are said to look like water buffalo at the front and domestic cattle at the back. They are the heaviest and most powerful of all wild cattle and are among the largest living land animals. Elephants, rhinos and hippos consistently grow larger, and the weight of gaur may equal or even surpass that of a giraffe. The males have high muscular bodies with distinctive dorsal ridges and large dewlaps, forming a very powerful appearance. The females are substantially smaller, and their dorsal ridges and dewlaps are less developed. These species are huge animals, they are the only wild bovid to exceed a shoulder height of 2m. The northern Indian gaurs do not differ in size from the southern breed but due to the largest concentration of gaur in the south, more of the larger, better specimens can be seen here than anywhere else in the country. </p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-aGFcqsLhwXE/TygsEitOOMI/AAAAAAAAAqc/7M3hY9rwzdM/s1600-h/Gaur1%25255B11%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Gaur1" border="0" alt="Gaur1" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-kkkYDtkZpNQ/TygsLL_Bh1I/AAAAAAAAAqk/k73RCjnjOkc/Gaur1_thumb%25255B9%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="381" height="272" /></a> The gaur head and body length of 250 to 330 cm with a 70 to 105 cm and is 165 to 220 cm high at the shoulder. The average weight is 650 to 1,000 kg, with an occasional larger bull weighing up to 1,500 kg. The males are about one fourth larger and heavier than females. The horns grow to a length of 60 to 115 cm. Both sexes carry horns, which grow from the sides of the head, curving upwards. The color of the horns is some shade of pale green or yellow throughout the greater part of their length, but the tips are black. Gaur is active in the morning and late afternoon resting during the hottest time of the day. This animals are dependent on water for drinking and they do not seems to bathe or wallow. There was no serious fight has been recorded between makes, with size being the major factor in determining dominance. The main predators of this species are <strong>Tiger and Leopard</strong>. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-90870917121816783772012-01-30T12:05:00.001-08:002012-01-31T08:28:51.548-08:00Moving<p align="justify"><b>Contribution by Saul Martin</b></p> <p align="justify">My husband got a new job that requires us to move to Michigan. We bought a new house and we are still settling in. I love our new house and there are so many things about it that are perfect for our family. My favorite part about the house is definitely the <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/kitchens/kitchen-design-10-great-floor-plans/pictures/index.html">kitchen</a>. It is so big and open and there is plenty of counter space. I also noticed that by each door going outside there is a panel that is part of a security system. The system was not activated, but I thought it was probably a good idea to have the system in place. I searched “<a href="http://www.securitychoice.com/adt-home-security/Michigan/K/Keego-Harbor/">keego harbor home security</a>” online and figured out how to set up an appointment to have someone activate it. They are supposed to come next week to activate the system and they said it should be pretty easy since the panel were already installed. I usually feel pretty safe in my own home, but it will be nice to have an extra sense of security since we are in a new house in a new state. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-68025383619863653332012-01-28T15:32:00.001-08:002012-01-28T15:32:23.236-08:00High quality lockers at low prices<p align="justify"></p> <p align="justify">Lockers are made for many scenarios, and you can see them everywhere as they are an important part of many businesses and other operations.

There we saw a lot of animals that I have never seen when I was young. One of the animals they got was big turtle and I didn't know the name until I do my research today. The Galapagos tortoise is what I seen. They are really big and modest animals, as matter of fact I petted them when I saw them. This species live of all vertebrates averaging over 100 years. The oldest on record lived to be 152 years. Wow, I wish people live that long too. Galapagos tortoises are the world's largest tortoises with some specimens exceeding 5 feet in length and reaching 550 pounds. </p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8EZ5QTOPg1Y/TxxTEsK8niI/AAAAAAAAAps/WL7-Jjn7g40/s1600-h/P1080014%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1080014" border="0" alt="P1080014" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3qizU2yvB1A/TxxTH0eeK7I/AAAAAAAAAp0/-zZ9y2msc-g/P1080014_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="218" height="164" /></a> The Tortoise played an important role in the Theory of Evolution. The islands common name is Spanish for saddle, referring to the shape of the Galapagos tortoise shell. When Charles Darwin, visited the Galapagos Islands, the vice-governor of the Island told him that he could identify what island the tortoise was from simply by looking at him. The different shapes of the giant tortoises on the various Galapagos islands was one of the findings that led Charles Darwin to develop the theory of evolution through natural selection. The theory is that some of the tortoises were <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--ZAYhNF58UQ/TxxTMc9PvAI/AAAAAAAAAp8/te_UAyqbqj4/s1600-h/P1080007%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="P1080007" border="0" alt="P1080007" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yIo7ckaELDw/TxxTOrnzvmI/AAAAAAAAAqE/fhNPVzPlg_o/P1080007_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="218" height="164" /></a> probably taken by whaling ship that sailed from Floreana via the relatively remote Volcano Wolf in rout to multi-year cruises in the pacific looking for sperm whales. In July 2008, tortoise eggs were discovered in the pin that George shares with his companions. The world awaited to see if George would produce offspring, however in early December it was determined the eggs were not fertilized and George remains the last of his kind. The pictures I uploaded here were the pictures my husband and I taken at Tulsa Zoo during his vacation. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-91609201791399570802012-01-11T15:25:00.001-08:002012-01-11T15:25:02.352-08:00Anthericum is useful for lawn vases & borders<p align="justify"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-h15TvIzLr5M/Tw4aGCIjYAI/AAAAAAAAAo8/nLAAOj25MCc/s1600-h/Antheric%25255B4%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Antheric" border="0" alt="Antheric" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Uwe7eL8mrFM/Tw4aK-qaWkI/AAAAAAAAApE/0_Z4UOlnuS0/Antheric_thumb%25255B2%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="309" height="296" /></a> The topic I want to share with you here today is about Anthericum. This species know as St.Bernard's Lily, is an upright plant, growing from 18 to 24 inches high and 12 inches wide. Anthericum is a genus of about 300 species, rhizomatous perennial plants in the family Agavaceae. If you are planning to plant anthericum, remember that it is useful for lawn vases, for borders that are protected in winter at the North, for greenhouses and also for growing under benches. It needs plenty of water during blooming time. The anthericum is native in Southern countries and is widespread in Central Asia and Russia. </p> <p align="justify"><strong>To Grow The Anthericum </strong></p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SPOLHbnzG0A/Tw4aO8I3IjI/AAAAAAAAApM/WVmG0JpbtQM/s1600-h/Anthericum%25255B5%25255D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Anthericum" border="0" alt="Anthericum" align="right" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LoCSTO_h3Ao/Tw4aSZ2NQnI/AAAAAAAAApU/wLRDZ8IWZwU/Anthericum_thumb%25255B3%25255D.gif?imgmax=800" width="304" height="296" /></a> Plant them in sunny areas and calcareous soils, on semiarid grasslands, slopes and forest edges. This plant is trim and neat with tidy firm basal foliage that is beautiful in it's own right starting in July, erect, wiry branched stems sport flurries of starry white flowers, each with a yellow ovary and sporting yellow anthers. This species bloom throughout the summer, growing to about 2' -3 tall and is a visual delight on sunny days when the reflect white flowers open. </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934767616472735701.post-30376093384754978572012-01-09T13:06:00.001-08:002012-01-10T14:54:39.900-08:00Affordable stylish Mailboxes at low price<p align="justify">I'm from other country and I recently moved here in the United State.

The combination of fleshly leaves and thick aerial tubers makes this a very heavy vine.
