Deborah Y.D. Szarek Have you ever dealt with the utter frustration of the japanese honeysuckle dictating your precious garden? May good luck be with you, because this invasive species is hard to kill. Nearly Impossible even. It is found in many places in North America. While it is legal it can easily disrupt existing ecosystems and take over. If one is unlucky enough to come across this deadly vine, do not fear, for there are some ways to exterminate it permanently. Lonicera Japonica ( the scientific name of the plant) used to be only found in Japan and East asia. This Honeysuckle is quite a beautiful plant with milky white flowers. The flowers turn yellow as they age (fcps.edu). The leaves donn a dark green color and to finish it off, they sprout black berries. And This plant can grow in either a vine or bush form(fcps.edu).

It was brought to the U.S. for Decorating purposes, It’s beautiful. It is spread easily because birds ingest the seeds. Then the seed passes through the bird and sprouts far from where it originated (mdc.mo.gov). The only threat to its survival is that the occasional deer may step on it or eat a little (plants.ifas.ufl.edu) The people though soon realized how much the Japanese Honeysuckle harmed the plants around it. The Japanese honeysuckle is capable of growing almost anywhere. It wraps its cord-like around the trunks of trees. By doing this, The Japanese Honeysuckle blocks them of sunlight and water so the tree dies. The worst part is, these japanese beauties are almost impossible to kill. Every single segment of the vine can regrow. The Japanese Honeysuckle is around almost all of the year because it is a Semi-Evergreen
I am a pottery maker for the king of Crete. I create very elaborate pottery for the king. Two of the types of pottery are known as Kamares ware and Marine Style. These two types of pottery are some of the best pottery that has ever been made in our time. Our pottery is created with a flowing, naturalistic shape and design.

5. You encounter a lawn with several bluegrass (Kentucky, rough, annual) species present. What are the distinguishing features that would enable you to correctly identify each of these species? Based on the environmental conditions to which they are each best adapted, what environmental modifications might you make to specifically favor the Kentucky bluegrass? And, based on their respective cultural requirements, what cultural operations might you perform to specifically favor the Kentucky bluegrass?
In Santa Rosa California stands the Adobe of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo, known by many citizens of Sonoma County as the Carrillo Adobe. In the years of 1837-1838 a woman by the name of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo built her home in what would become Santa Rosa, California. The foundation of her home was laid by Franciscan monks years earlier when they wished to build the 22nd mission in California, however they moved on to other sites in the surrounding area. After Carrillo’s death, the adobe became the first post office of Santa Rosa, California, a trading post, and a drying shed for a prune farmer named Hahman who would later purchase the property. In the 1930s a WPA survey was performed on the property, and since that time numerous restoration attempts have failed. However since 2012 archeologists and historians have been investigating the site to decide where the boundaries are of the adobe since part of the land has been sold for a company to build condominiums. In 2013 squatters broke into the chain link fencing around the structure, breaking boards from the ceiling and creating camps in the trees surrounding the structure. Due to the surveys and notes given by the archeologists, it has been determined that the structure was a U-shape, however there are only three small remains of rooms of the structure let underneath the overhang that has been constructed to house the structure. There has been a specific amount of money allotted to keep the remaining portion of the structure from being destroyed, however, the funds are not being used to reconstruct any portion of the destroyed portion of the building. The structure and site needs to be added to the National Historic Registry not only be...
As a conclusion, Mingei and nationalism can be perceived as fundamentally interwoven through Japanese handicrafts. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, many factors came to play a part in bringing the Japanese spirit to the forefront of craftsmen minds, whether as reason to bring attention to themselves and their own work or as a way of providing necessary utensils to the average Japanese home. The efforts of the Mingei movement and the Japanese Traditional Crafts Exhibition cannot be ignored. Yanagi can be said to have foreseen this radical decline in traditional styles and if not for his and his fellow founders collecting and preserving crafts in the Japanese Folk Art Museum, many of the regional methods and styles could be lost today. After the destruction of the war and
Hawaii is such a diverse and unique area that it is said to be a biologist’s paradise. Biologists travel here to study the wide variety of species and one such species is Aleurites moluccana or the kukui tree. The kukui tree is originally from Southeast Asia, particularly the Indo-Malaysia region, and has moved its way into the Pacific. It was first introduced to the Hawaiian islands when the Polynesians navigated their way here hundreds of years ago (Elevitch, C. R., & Manner, H. I., 2006). Since then, the kukui tree’s physical adaptations have helped it to thrive in Hawaii and native Hawaiians were able to utilize this plant in a number of ways.
Goldenrod is common name for certain related plants of the composite family. The Canada goldenrod is really “Solidago canadensis”. They are typical autumn flowers of the United States that grow in a great variety of habitats: woods, meadows, hills, and rocky ground.

It is so heavy that certain types of bugs actually have to lift it out. It is the state flower of Kentucky and Nebraska.

These include: Norway Maple, Japanese Barberry, Asian Bittersweet, English Ivy, Mimosa, Wisteria, Japanese Honeysuckle, Bugleweed, Bamboo, Day Lily, Purple Loosestrife, Tansy, and Dame's
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is one of the largest public parks of Japan. It is the ideal location for tourists who want to spend some time relaxing or enjoying a picnic in nature's lap away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Bamboo is a widely used and it is an important material that is found typically anywhere in the world. It is generally found in rural areas as building materials in small tropical countries, this is due to bamboo having a high strength and low weight. Even though bamboo is referred to as a rural material, Architects and Engineers have begun to incorporating bamboo into buildings for strength and beauty. Bamboo is a versatile, renewable and sustainable resource in South Africa. It is easy to use bamboo in buildings, as simple tools can be used bend and cut it easily. Bamboo construction is also very resilient to wind, easy to build with and is even resistant to some natural disasters like earthquakes (if done and used properly). Bamboo is also used in landscape industry, interiors and as a temporary building material in construction.
