Community Planning
Five-Year Official Plan Review
Norfolk County is undertaking an Official Plan Review (OPR) in order to update and review the policies within the County's current Official Plan.
Before we start the project, we first need to decide what will be reviewed. We are not creating a new Official Plan, but looking at what we have, and making sure it is still relevant to Norfolk County as well as in line with various provincial policy and legislative requirements.
Staff have put together a draft Terms of Reference ("ToR") which will serve as the program "to do" list. The ToR will:
- provide the parameters for which the program will operate;
- list the items to be reviewed during the project timeline; and
- outline the community participation and engagement process.
At each and every phase of the project there will be opportunity for members of our community to tell us what they think.
The first opportunity for community involvement is to take a look at the draft ToR document. Does it make sense? Are we looking at everything that needs to be looked at in the Official Plan? Do you have any questions?
DRAFT Terms Of Reference Revised

Rural Community Improvement Plan
Norfolk County is seeking input into development of a Rural Community Improvement Plan that will focus on incentives and programs to promote investment in tourism, agri-business, and the revitalization of downtown and hamlet areas.
This is an opportunity for interested members of the public to offer input into Community Improvement Program incentives shaped to respond to opportunities and challenges that are unique to Norfolk County.
For further information please contact:

Population Projection Study
In June 2014, Council approved the Norfolk County Population Projection Study, as prepared by Hemson Consulting. The projections include long-term forecasts of population, housing and employment. The forecast is applicable to the entire County, but were also prepared for each specific urban area within the County from the year 2011 to 2031 and to 2041 time horizons. These years were selected as they provide a basis for planning within the 20 year provincial planning policy horizon as well as correspond with census years. The projections are intended to provide a likely "reference" scenario for a consistent basis for future growth planning of all departments within the County.

Norfolk County's New Zoning By-Law
Norfolk County Community Planning Services are progressing with the Zoning By-Law project. A new Comprehensive Zoning By-Law for Norfolk County has been recognized as being necessary due to municipal restructuring and to incorporate the policy direction of the Norfolk County Official Plan that was adopted by Council on May 9, 2006 and approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on December 23, 2008.
Click here for more details on the Zoning By-Law.
Norfolk County's Existing Official Plan
The existing Official Plan was approved by Norfolk County Council on May 9, 2006. At present, the County is undertaking a review of this document. Please refer to the information in regards to the "Five-Year Official Plan Review" for more information.
To view the details of the existing Official Plan, please visit the official website at www.norfolkofficialplan.ca.
Drinking Water Source Protection
The Clean Water Act was passed in 2006 by the Ontario legislature in response to the Walkerton Inquiry. Municipal drinking water sources are to be protected throughout Ontario. Drinking water source protection will allow for the identification of threats to municipal water quality and water supplies, and the creation of a plan to reduce the risk posed by those threats. The task of developing source protection plans is being guided by the Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee. Committee members include representatives of municipalities, farmers, businesses, industry, residents and others. During the past two years information on the sources of municipal drinking water and potential threats to water quality have been identified. In the Long Point Region Assessment Report, the vulnerable areas around the wells and surface water intakes have been identified, as well as significant threats – the human activities with the greatest potential to cause harm to the water sources.
The Source Protection Plan contains the policies and programs that will be needed to reduce the risk posed by the identified activities. The Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee and source protection staff are working closely with municipalities to identify the best collection of policies and programs to protect drinking water sources.
The Proposed Source Protection Plan for the Long Point Region watershed is now awaiting approval of the Ministry of Environment. The entire Plan and further information is available from the Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee at www.sourcewater.ca. Printed copies are available at the Langton, Delhi and Simcoe County Administration offices.
Servicing Monitoring Norfolk County
The purpose of the Servicing Monitoring report is to provide Norfolk County Council and interested parties with information on the state of municipal water and sewerage capacities for each of the six urban areas, and St. Williams. Particularly, this report provides historic, current, and forecasted data related to urban service capacities; the status of available water and sewerage capacity for future development; and land development activity occurring within the urban areas. Regular reports of this kind are important to ensure that the provision of water and sewerage services in the urban areas keep up with the demand.

How to get rid of elephant ears?
I know these can be really nice plants(and I'm sure there are elephant ear fans out there who will be shocked by my request! :-), but I have a small garden area on my small patio and these elephant ears are taking over every bit of space!! I've dug them up and think the only way to get rid of them is to rent a bulldozer to dig up the whole patio. (I've tried giving them away,but have NO takers since everyone I know also can't get rid of them or just don't want to start fooling with them!! :-)
Our climate is perfect for them to continue to thrive,and for everyone I dig up, three more pop up!! (I've tried digging as deep as I can, but to no avail!!) PLEASE help me get rid of these!! THANKS!! :-)
Are you speaking of the Taro ??? If so they're nearly impossible to get rid of...If one small piece is left in the ground it will come back...I've dug and I've been using Round-up on mine every spring for years and they still come up...I've never seen anything like it except Horsetail...This stuff grows wild in the bayous,ditches and road sides here...It will pop through a heavy pond liner also...Good luck...Pat
Have you given any thought to how you will keep your glasses on if you remove them.(LOL) Really, they are everlasting in the true sense of the word. Just keep mowing!
I have been wondering the same thing. I planted something last year which I thought was Elephant's Ear but I now think it is something else. It came back, which surprised me because it is supposed to be too cold here AND I dug up the bulb! I now have about 15 little plants all over the place. A few are about ten feet away from where I planted the original plant! I painted them all with RoundUp over the weekend. Next weekend I plant to dig up the plants and hopefully all the roots.
this is the exact same problem I have with my banana plants. However, EVERYBODY wants those. When I dig a few, there are double or triple that come up. We tried DRANO, SALT, and ROUNDUP--no luck. We broke two shovels in 5 minutes trying to dig them up. I thought maybe I could cover them with black plastic for a few weeks and they would die, but just haven't tried it yet.
First, I would pay postage for some of these if you have any left! Or, maybe there's something on my list you would like to trade? Just email me & LMK!
Second, I was told when I dug (well, not ME but my husband) the area for a water line, to pour rock salt several inches deep & wide to keep tree roots from getting near the water pipes. You may want to try that.
Third, let me know about the elephant ears!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never realized that they were a problem in your area. The saying that "A weed is just a plant out of place" seems to be true.
Either sell them on Ebay,trade them here, or give them away.
The post office will provide a priority mail box for free and I will send you the postage via Paypal using your email address.
Just let me know.
I know what Gumbo is talking about! I planted some in my yard that my neighbor was throwing away (he thought I was crazy). During years where we had excessive rainfall, mine got as high as 8ft. They are the plain green smooth-edge variety
However, they are VERY invasive and will spread where you don't want them. (even in our clay soil)
To get rid of them, you have to dig them up by the roots and throw them away. If you want to compost them, you MUST cut off the root bulb and ONLY compost the stem and leaves. If you include the root bulb, it WILL grow back. When you think you've gotten them all, just wait......more will spring up. It can be done, but it takes perseverance. The good thing is they are easy to dig.
I plan on keeping one or two large ones in pots on the porch. I do love them, but not in my butterfly garden (they are water hogs).
The only thing that has worked for me was to move. Perhaps a thermonuclear device would do the trick. though I suspect the only things that will survive that are Magnolia leaves, roaches, elephant ears and fire ants.
Seriously about all you can do is to keep running them over with the lawn more or digging them up.
The crazy thing; here I don't have any. I kind of miss them. Are their any that aren't invasive?
PS Don't let them get too big before you run them over with the lawn mower. You might break the mower.
There are lots of them that aren't so invasive, or are so expensive you would have numerous eager takers. Some, like 'Black Magic', are clumping, so I don't think they would ever be a problem (I've only had mine five or six years so I haven't given them a chance yet.) Some are too tender, at least in theory--a few years ago a lot more were considered tender, but then some curious folks began to experiment with leaving them outdoors and found they were much hardier than previously thought. Black Magic, for instance, was thought tender enough we should bring it in in winter here in z9, but it is now rated hardy to z7b, and it got SO much bigger and prettier in the ground last year than it had in a pot! And it only got a little bit wider with offsets, not runners like so many. Keep an eye on the Aroid Forum or read old posts; this time of year they're mostly talking about philodendrons and such, but as the weather warms up they'll be talking more about Alocasia, Colocasia, and Xanthosoma, where most of the 'elephant ears' belong.
Wow, I have some in a pot and have been thinking about moving them into the ground so they'll get bigger (I've seen them 5 ft. tall in this area; mine are less than 3). After reading about your woes, they're definately staying in a pot! Maybe a larger pot so they'll get bigger, but a pot indeed! : ) Thank you for sharing so I can avoid having the same problem.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, Gumbo! Good luck with this. And at least you are making many people happy by sharing!
I had the same problem with elephant ears. It took me 3 yrs., but this is how I did it. I would use 42% Roundup at 5 oz. per gallon of water. I would apply the roundup every 4 to 6 weeks all summer. I did this for 3 summers. I have not had any elephant ears for over 10 years.
Do not ever plant these things unless you want them there for good. I live on River Road and these things grow wild across the levee so we crossed the levee and dug some up and i planted them near the living room window, they were very pretty there as they grew so huge and when we looked out the window it really looked nice. In the Spring i redesigned my landscape and these things were NOT part of my new design. I pulled every single one of them out by the root plus added about 3 feet more of soil before i planted the new landscape. Stupid me for thinking they were gone. I am out there every other day pulling them up. They frustrate me so much that one day as i was pulling them up i flung one across the yard and it landed under my crepe myrtle tree. Well guess what? Now i have them dang things growing under the tree. The darn bulb wasn't even put into the soil, i had just flung it over there. They can be a horrible headache but if anyone just HAS to have them then send me an e-mail and i can mail you as many as you would like.
My daughter loves elephant ears and actually "bought" tubers a few years ago. She has them all around her house and garden. She wanted "a New Orleans look". Then, she got some of my black elephant ears that I had in a container (so they would not spread) and has also planted those in her garden. They are now ten times the size of mine.
One day we will read in the paper about the lady who got eaten alive by Elephant Ears.
Well hello there! I would l LOVE to take some of those unwanted EE off of your hands! I have just found this site while looking for a way to save my few and well loved EE from the wildlife here - never ending EE sound like just the thing! The squirrels can't eat them all!!!!!! - please contact!
I just read all these posts and I am sitting here laughing my head off! I paid $8 for one small Illustris root three years ago, and believe you me, I wish I could get in on that racket! I have dug thousands of those lovely little black with green veined things! They are truly gorgeous plants, and the first winter I was so worried they wouldn't come through. Then spring came, and it was like I had been invaded! So...shovel in hand, I spent three hours out in the broiling sun, carefully digging each one out, and throwing them into a woodland path. You guessed it! They began growing in the path, and the pieces of roots I broke off came right back in the bed. Not wanting to clog the landfill, the next digging session, I laid them out in a single layer all over my concrete driveway. By now it is 96 degrees every day. Did they die? NOOOOO>>! They would shrivel up, but every time it rained, they would put up fresh leaves, growing on the concrete drive! I never saw anything like it! Well, it's three years later, and I think I MAY have finally gotten them all out. Only by conscientiously digging them when they are very very small, and being extremely careful to dig a wide hole around a small plant, so as not to break any root off. I put them into plastic bags and then send them to the landfill. I don't know what else to do, because the other writer is correct, they would ADORE the compost pile! And yes, I kept a few that live in pots. But I sure keep a close eye on those draing holes!
Elephant ears are so invasive, I would recommend to not try to grow them for any reason.
Find any other type of hedge or green barrier.
A neighbour put in new pavement. He dug as much root as he could.
The next year, the elephant ears pushed right through the new pavement and continued growing.
I tried different products to kill the elephant ears, and Roundup did not work well at all.
I use something called KILLEX and it worked very well.
Also KILLEX does not kill the grass. It works something like weed and feed.
I use a hand bottle with spray attachment and spray the EE leaves.
I prefer to spay the plants when they are from 6 inches to a couple feet high.
If the plant is larger, I break off the top and leave only a few leaves to spray.
In this case, I also spay a bit into the open stem stock.
The leaves should begin to wilt over within 1 to 2 days.
Do not pull them and leave them at least a few weeks, so that the poissen gets to the roots.
The stem should be curving over within a week.
After a few weeks, spray any new growth that has appeared.
It will take time to kill them off, but I find that this system works best for me.
I have found that KILLEX seams to kill the rootball.
After spraying some plants in the spring, I left them for a few months.
Tall new growth had grown on these.
When I pulled on the new growth, I pulled up the new growth with most of the root ball attached.
It seamed that the poison had killed most of the smaller roots and that weekend the root enough to let most of the root ball get pulled up.
On the plants that I had not sprayed, I could not pull up the stalk with much root on it..
It just seamed to have too much strength in it.
Let us know your results.

Can you send me your suggestions on how to control the growth of elephant ears . I want to use some of them as a hedge but I don't want to kill them all.
Click the link for details
Here is a link that might be useful: How to control Elephant Ears
Maybe I'm being foolish and delusional, but I think I won... maybe. Someone else moved away from the problem and left me with it. Only 4 months of pulling out all the roots, runners, and ears I could find 3-4 times a week. Or maybe it's the exceptionally dry weather we've had lately and I'll get to see a lovely new crop come spring... It doesn't help that my neighbor has them on the other side of the fence.
Just keep at it! You'll win eventually!! ...maybe.

Is the Shark Steam Mop safe for travertine floor?
justagirlAugust 19, 2008
Anyone know? I've googled and can't find a clear answer.
I'm trying to find out the same information. I want to use the shark steam mop on my travertine floors in the kitchen, the shower and bathroom. Were you able to find any information on whether or not the steam mop is safe for travertine? I am worried it will take off the sealer that was put on the travertine and then the travertine will be more susceptible to staining, scratching, etc.
I wouldn't do it. Travertine has tiny pits filled with cementious fill. The steam can remove the fill causing mold to grow from the moisture. I've heard travertine is not good in a steam shower for the same reason.

Whatever the origins and timing of Valentine's Day, 14 February was originally the date of a very different festival – the festival of Lupercalia. This was a fertility festival honouring the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus. It also honoured Lupercus, god of shepherds. The festivities were presided over by the priesthood of the Luperci, who were dedicated to Faunus. They sacrificed two goats and a dog. There was then a sacrificial feast, and the Luperci cut thongs called februa from the skins of the animals, dressed themselves in the skins of the sacrificed goats, and ran round the walls of the old Palatine city. They struck all those who came near with the thongs. Young women would line up on their route to receive lashes from these whips. This was reputed to ensure fertility, prevent sterility, and ease the pains of childbirth. [Read more...]

One aspect of deities seems to be thought-forms.

Pesky roomate light problem
Hey, My name is Catherine and I have a lighting problem. I live in an apartment complex and have 3 roommates. Because I am a college student I am frequently in and out of the apartment at all hours, including when its dark. because of this, I have asked my roommates to leave our outside light on, However, one of my roommates stubbornly refuses and enjoys turning the light off when I am gone. Now, though I would love to just get rid of the roommate, I cannot, which is what leads me to my question,
Is there a way to make it so a light cannot be turned off by the switch? So that no matter if the switch is up or down the light stays on?
Now, I guess I should include the fact that I have never done any type of electrical work or wiring. However, I'm not dumb or electrically incompetent (at least not as far as i know anyway hehe) so as long as the job isnt too complex I'm certain I can manage alright.
Can anyone please help a poor college girl out?
Try talking to the complex's maintenace worker, there are several ways to do what you want and a few of them may only take minutes to complete.
Besides that your next best bet would be to talk to the apartment manager, as far as I see it this is a safety issue and maybe if you present it that way they will help you out. There needs to be some sort of exterior lighting installed at the complex. When the light you are talking about is off is the area completely dark?
Obviously though, the best thing to do is get a new roomate who wont be a jack!@# when someone asks them to leave a light on at night for safety.
>...one of my roommates stubbornly refuses and enjoys turning the light off when I am gone.
>...he left me a note daring me to try to find a tape he couldn't cut =(
Is your roomate some kind of control freak that enjoys exerting his power over you? Has he done anything to harm you or make you feel threatened by him? If so, there may be a legal way out of your lease. Regardless, how many red flags do you need? It sounds like you're living with a psycho, and you should strongly consider moving. Now.
Step 1. Locate a cooperative friend (unknown to your roommate)that enjoys a considerable physical advantage over your "pesky" roommate. A modest criminal history would not be a disqualifier here.
Step 2. Offer said friend an incentive to visit and appropriately counsel your roommate while you are away from the apartment and the outside light is off.
Step 3. Return home and note if the light is on or off.
Step 4. If the light remains off, repeat Steps 1-3 as needed.
Easiest solution might be to carry a flashlight. I doubt the complex will do anything since the easiest/most realistic solution from their point of view would be to just leave the light on. But obviously you can't do that.
Out of curiousity, does your roomate have any reason that he doesn't want the light on (ie. it's outside his room and shines in, he doesn't want to pay the electricity for the light, etc) or does he just want to spite you?
You can buy a little plastic gadget that will lock the light switch on. Google for "light switch lock" to see what it looks like. It just screws on using one of the switch plate screws. Of course, your roommate could easily remove it, so you may need to try to find a tamper-resistant screw that can only be turned with a special security screwdriver.
Wow, that was amazingly helpful guys thanks =D. To answer some of the questions:
whether or not he is a psycho may be debatable, but it is mostly that he is an EXTREMELY childish control freak. He can be cool at times but over some issues he just completely weirds out. Why he cares so much about this light I can't begin to guess, except to say that I think he wants it off because I want it on, and he always has to get his way. No it isn't outside his room, its actually outside mine, and as for the electricity, well for starters its 1 energy efficient lightbulb, he constantly runs his laptop, his big tv, and his Xbox 360, so I dont think its that.
Some of your suggestions were really great, I never even considered asking the maintenance guys if they could fix it so the light stays on, they seem pretty cool so I'll definitely ask them if they can do anything before I try anything else. Also a motion detector light isn't a bad idea but i doubt that they would install it. If all else fails I will try electricman steps which are really great and detailed! and if it comes to that I will make sure to get the necessary equipment and any and all related safety gear Lowes can offer. THANKYOU GUYS SO MUCH!
So, Why don't you play hard ball ? The next time the light is off when you come home tell him his laptop, T.V. and or Xbox might have an accident. Don't even think about playing the light switch rewire game. Don't know where you
live but up here you can be charged with trespassing and
unautherized modifications without a licence or permit. One thing you can do is fill the switch handel with krazy glue. Pour it in in the off possition and flip it up and pour it in in the on possition and leave it there. It will harden. When he goes to turn it off it will not move. He will then hit it so hard he will break the handle off and it will stay in the on possition. You can then blame him for busting the switch when you call the maintanance man. One thing i must ask is how cool is a control freak that jeperdizes your safety ? Then again, how cool is a control
freak ? I'm thinking there might be more than one person that has a problem here? I'm seeing a red flag. Just one person's opinion. Please disregaurd this post if offensive. Just don't shoot the messanger.
Just a couple of random thoughts:
- Have you father talk with him. I know it sounds a little immature but if this was happening to my daughter, the young man would have some explaining to do. Whatever his issues are with control, immaturity, or even mental defect they don't supersede your right to safety.
- When you get home late and the light is not on, pound/kick loudly on the door until someone answers. When asked, explain that you couldn't see to put your key in the lock because the light was off.
- You could simply ask him why he insists on turning off the light. Maybe better would be to use an "I" statement. For example, "I feel unsafe when the porch light is off. Would you leave it on?"
Good luck!
There is a motion-detector socket that you can screw into the fixture, then screw the bulb into it. It needs to be exposed to the light, so it won't work in every fixture. But it's not that expensive.
And if it turns the light off, maybe your roommate won't notice that it's on, and he'll leave the switch alone.
Though, I don't know how far away it would sense you, and whether it would give you the lighting you need to get safely to the door.
There are other light fixtures that might provide more coverage, or sense farther out, but they're more expensive.
Well, no, they're not--check out this one (a little harsh, but . . .):
I'd take the problem first to the maintenance guys. You saw how all of us reacted here--I bet they'd be on your side, and be willing to replace the switch so that it's permanently on, or something.
Then there's this locking cover plate--it opens with a key, and I would think that means it's designed so that you can't just unscrew it.
Here is a link that might be useful: light-detector screw-in socket
Perhaps because we are wondering if Catherine used possibly the most effective method.
Step 1 - locate a very muscular, somewhat rowdy male friend. Let's call him "William".
Step 2 - illustrate the "pesky roommate" problem to William and describe in graphic detail how fixing this situation would pay off.
Step 3 - go see "pesky roomate" in hospital, and say you will leave the light on for him. Tell him how glad you are that William appears to be an expert at fixing lights.

High order discretization schemes for the CIR process: Application to affine term structure and Heston models
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: This paper presents weak second and third order schemes for the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process, without any restriction on its parameters. At the same time, it gives a general recursive construction method for getting weak second order schemes that extend the one introduced by Ninomiya and Victoir. Combine both these results, this allows us to propose a second order scheme for more general affine diffusions. Simulation examples are given to illustrate the convergence of these schemes on CIR and Heston models.

Owner or agent identity. In the rental document or posted conspicuously on the premises, landlord must designate the name and address of the person who is the landlord.

Product description
Do private and philanthropic solutions to the problems of education signal the end of state education in its 'welfare' form? Education policy is being reformed and re-worked on a global scale. Policies are flowing and converging to produce a singular vision of 'best practice' based on the methods and tenets of the 'neo-liberal imaginary'. Philanthropy, business and the governments are coming together in new networks and sites of policy outside of the framework of the nation state. This book is a first step in recording, mapping and making sense of the most important aspects of these new relations and dynamics of policy. Using the approach of 'policy sociology' and the methods of social network analysis, Global Education Inc. explores the policy activities of edu-businesses, neo-liberal advocacy networks and policy entrepreneurs, and of social enterprises and 'new' philanthropy. It also addresses the ways in which education and education policy itself are now being exported and bought and sold as profitable commodities and how entrenched problems of educational development and educational quality and access are now being addressed through 'market solutions'. That is, by the involvement of private providers in the delivery of educational services, both independently and on behalf of the state. Universities, schools and education services are being acquired as assets by private equity companies. Private storefront schools are being set-up by local entrepreneurs and through franchising arrangements, funded through microloans. School chains funded by philanthropy and run by multi-national edu-businesses are being harnessed to the attempts of developing societies in an attempt to achieve their Millennium Development Goals and provide mass access to basic education. Curriculum materials and pedagogy software and policy ideas such as inspections, leadership, school choice and accountability are being retailed by western 'knowledge companies' and consultants across the globe. This book argues that these new forms of policy and policy-making require new concepts and methods of policy analysis, with chapters including: Networks, Neo-liberalism and Policy Mobilities New' Philanthropy, Social Capitalism and Education Policy Policy as Profit: Selling and Exporting Policy Money, Meaning and Policy Connections Global Education Inc. is a crucial book that will be of great interest to students of social and education policy and social and education policy analysts and researchers.

Daniel Savaloja: MN's biodiesel mandate is costly, risky, unfair
On July 1, by an act of the 2014 Minnesota Legislature, many, but not all, Minnesota diesel users were required to purchase diesel blends containing at least ten percent biodiesel. The trucking industry believes consumers will bear the cost of this doubling of the state's mandate through higher prices for transportation and goods.
The biodiesel industry does not need a mandate now. It is mature and can stand on its own.

Excellent hotel for walking hol in the area and Capileira is probably the pick of the mountain villages in the region. Rooms very good - ours had lovely balcony. Breakfasts also very good, although restaurant for evening meal was average (Casa Paco Lopez across the road & up the hill was excellent). Unfortunate that swimming pool was closed depsite it being warm enough to use (even in late Oct). Otherwise though an excellent base and we really enjoyed the hotel and the area

Breakfast was plentiful and tasty with good variety and great service. Our room smelled like meat when we arrived and we realized that our room was directly over the kitchen. It aired out quickly. It could also be very noisy because of the kitchen (but most hotels in Spain have restaurant and street noise). You might want to ask for a room in one of the buildings not attached to the kitchen. The hotel provides walking trail maps/instructions that can be borrowed and returned which is a great service in this location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice, clean, spacious, well furnished rooms that included a mini-fridge. Large and comfy sitting room as well with games, books, TV, etc. Computer in lobby for free internet use. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

For enjoying the countryside and the mountains in peace and quiet, this is where to stay. Nice and English-speaking staff, beautiful view from room terrace to opposite hillside. Good buffet breakfast, dinner was OK. We also tried the two restaurants on the opposite side of the road- La casa de Paco is recommended for food, service and view. Hotel gives 8% discount on room price if you pay cash. If you are fit, take the minibus up to the National Park with Paco providing information during the trip is his very personal way and good English. We walked to the top of Mulhacen (3480 m), a fairly easy route, up in abt 3 hours, down in less. However, do take proper shoes, clothes and sunscreen (as well as food and drink) - the wind was terrible even in July. For walks in the Poqueira valley and elsewhere lower down, spring (May) is probably the best season, July is a bit hot in the afternoon. The rooms do not have AC, but this did not really matter, as we prefer the fresh night air let in through the terrace door, also getting a wakeup call from a nearby rooster. The small village is very idyllic, with small twisting alleys with lots of flowers. Even the small supermarket is well hidden. All in all, a very enjoyable stay we would like to repeat. The province of Granada has 5 climate zones, all of which can be experienced in a short time. If you feel like going to the beach one day, attractive Salobreña is just more than an hour´s drive away.

what does Clematis worna look like?
I cannot locate a photo on the internet. THank you.
Robin, just a guess but I think you mean clematis viorna. I have it and am surprised you haven't seen it one of the times you have been over at the house. Following is a link to it on COTW where they have used a couple of pictures of my plant in their listing. This clematis is a native clematis and a couple of years ago I discovered a colony of the plants over at Salem Lake. I have collected seed and sent it to various clematis breeders/growers including Ellen Horning at Seneca Hills Perennials and Dan Long at Brushwood Nursery. Dan is growing some seedlings now which he is planning on offering for sale when they mature enough. I am sure Ellen is planning on doing the same. Seed has also been distributed to various growers in England and Norway. This clematis is one of our natives and one of the most underutilized and undergrown clematis here in the states in my opinion.
Here is a link that might be useful: clematis viorna on COTW
Yeah I understand totally. I am way too impatient to grow clematis from seed. They can take forever to germinate, grow in spurts and then die back, then come back, etc. I get so frustrated with them that I toss them out. I did get a couple of alpinas to grow from seed and got them to the stage where they could be planted in the garden. They did alright for one summer, flowered the following spring and then summarily died. The atragenes as a whole don't do diddly in my garden and zone and it figures my first experience with plants from seed would be those types.
I do however relish the idea of crossing stuff and have a cohort on the west coast who has offered to take any crosses I make and grow them out! Surrogate mom so to speak!
Hey BorS, if you like bell shaped clematis, how about fusca?
A pitcheri hybrid that Dan Long sells at Brushwood
There are tons of them out there and quite a few are US natives that hardly get any press!
I have found I's, II's and III's locally. All hybrids though, no species except for some of the evergreens.
I see you have most of the pictured ones planted on shrubs, are they smaller vines or do you like them scrambling around as I do?
I really don't know anything about species Clemmies. Other than I think those little bells are cute and I know 'Rooguchi' mildews here and it has been the only true bell shaped one I've found. (I know it is a hybrid)
