Vine.

What is This Plant?My cousin's sister-in-law planted this vine while she was having cancer treatments. She told her it was a purple Clematis, but it bloomed this year and the flowers were white, last spring and did not look like any Clematis she has seen. Anyone know the name of this plant? Thanks.

 

What is This Plant?Can anyone tell me the name of this plant? It has grown to about 3 -1/2 feet, the tallest one. Then the other one is about 10 inches shorter and the third is only about 10 inches tall. I have since planted them in the ground.

Lead Testing Kits?About 18-20 years ago when we had the first round of Lead scare, I saw a testing kit for sale. I know someone out there knows where to buy them now. Can you tell me where to get one? IS IT MADE IN CHINA? I will tell you what I saw in the 99 cent store that reminded me of the need for one. They had some nice coffee mugs and I was going to make some 'Hot cocoa gift mugs' UNTIL I saw a sticker on a couple of them that said 'Warning, not made for food'. There were dozens of them and only a few had the warning sticker on them.

Pattern for a Vintage 1950s Glass Windchime?I would like to have a pattern for the small glass windchimes that came from Japan in the 1945-1960s. I remember them costing 25 cents to $1.25.

Yellow bugs on plant stalks.

What Are These Bugs?I have never seen these funny yellow gold bugs before. They are smaller than a tomato seed. They appeared on a plant from a bulb DD ordered for me. The plant has not had a flower yet. This is the tallest of the plants out of 5 bulbs. The others have not bloomed and are only about 4 inches tall. They are either Grecian Rose or Asclepias mixture, which never grew at all.

What's the Name of This Iris?As you may know I'm starting a new iris bed in "The Path Garden". I saved this picture a few years ago and can't remember where I got it. Does anyone have this iris or know the name? I would love to have it added to the garden for next year. Thanks for any help ThriftyFun's family can provide.
