Re: Timothy O'Keefe
Hi again Peter.
It's strange there is no record of Florinda's burial.
Her parents and brother are in D1184 - surname Mazzei but listed as Mazzia - Ferdinando buried under his English name of Frederick Mazzia 1904 - wife Mary Mazzia - 1901 - son Lewis Mazzia 1893.
In 1997 I wrote to the record office and they had a record of Frederick and Lewis, but no record of Mary! I know she's in there as I have seen (many years ago) a burial receipt for her.
Likewise Florinda's other brother is in R2109 with his wife and son - Frederick Mazzia 1906 - Elizabeth Mazzia 1901 and Frederick Mazzia 1910. Again the record office had records of the 2 Frederick's but not Elizabeth.
None of these have headstones as I have looked.
Thanks again

Hi Peter
Thank you for the photo of Timothy's and Florindas grave plot - it's looking like none of my family have headstones in Cathays.
Thanks again

RE: O'Keefe
Hi Peter
That's brilliant, thanks.
My Timothy died in either January, February or March of 1917 so I think that must be him.
I do have a lot of ancestors buried in Cathays and will also be adding those requests but find a grave only allows so many requests per week.
Thanks again

RE: Cathays Cemetery
Hi Peter,
That's great, thanks.
Thanks for the flowers as well.
I had a feeling there wouldn't be a headstone as about 15 years I went to Cathays looking for William's parents and grandparents grave R2109 and D1184) and they didn't have headstones either.

Daniel Thomas Phillips
Peter and Jackie, You are fabulous! You have gone above and beyond anything I expected. The other date is my Grandfather Albert Stanley Phillips' daughter Rene Iris Phillips 1907-1913. She died of Diphtheria. You are amazing finding the news articles.They are very informative.Gives me a few more leads to look at with the people attending his funeral. I have been unable to find any pictures of my Grandfather Albert Stanley anywhere, even though he replaced DTP as Consul. DTP and his sons Ernest (also a Consul in Switzerland) and Albert also died at age 62 (heart)on April 11 2 years apart. April 11 is my Dad's birthday so he assumed he would die on his 62nd birthday. He lived to 82.I looked at all you send with a lump in my throat. My brother Daniel Thomas Phillips II 1956-2014 died last September after heart surgery at 57.He would have loved to see all you sent. Albert and Ernest returned to Chicago to work as clerks for the Santa Fe RR. Albert kidnapped my Dad and brought him to Chicago where i was born. Left is wife and another daughter Grace. Wish I knew the why of it. It was after Rene died. I am thinking Albert wanted to return to the US and Mildred did not. Again THANKS!!

Wandering Jew?
Just bought a large one in a hanging basket and I love it already. I did a seach on this forum and came up with a lot of good info, but I have a question about light: I currently have it facing (not in) a south window, it is about 10 - 12 feet from the actual window. WIll this be enough light or should I hang it directly in the window itself? Would love to keep it where it is, but not at the risk of losing it. Its my first hanging plant, (also bought two other hanging, an English Ivy and a big spider with lots of stolons and plantlets) and its gorgeous with lots of purple on the leaves. Thanks for any input.
I would place both the Wandering Jew and Spider plant near the window. Placing the plant up to 12 feet away from the window is not enough light (except maybe in winter when the sun penetrates deeper into the room because of its lower angle). The English Ivy might appreciate a light curtain to protect from the sun.
Eileen, leave it where it is but keep a check on the color of the leaves. A south exposure may give your plant all that it needs at this time even with its position.
A different exposure may have proven fruitless.
"Wandering Jew"...there are two named varieties.....
the "Tradescantia" and the "Zebrina"...which from what I can tell is not as hardy but grow similar.
The form that is variegated will need more light...the straight green, less light. Your light level will tell all.
As the sun diminishes in value as we approach winter, you may be forced to move your plants closer---sometimes directly to the light. In December, the light level is way down what we get in June.
But that's alright, plants go dormant, need less light and therefore less watering.
The trick though is both varieties need a higher humidity with ample watering. This can be better obtained by having close at hand a spritzing bottle.
I have a tri-color wandering jew in a south facing window right now, and it's doing great. The higher light helps keep the foliage nice and variegated - variegated plants tend to turn back to all green in lower light situations. I also have a spider plant in the same southern exposure window, and that's doing great as well. I got it half dead from a grocery store for $1.49, and it's now green and healthy, and putting out lots of babies. I also have an ivy plant (non-variegated), but I have that hanging in an east facing window, and it does well there.
One caution about ample watering - I think both these plants tend to do well drying out a bit between waterings than with moist soil (at least in my experience). As I have learned here from very knowledgeable people, more plants suffer from overwatering than underwatering.
Good luck with your new plants!~
I could never grow any of the Wandering Jews here indoors as we are so gray and cloudy most of the year but I've got three thriving in my un-shaded greenhouse right now.
IMHO, they want as much light as possible and to dry out slightly between waterings. They rot easily and they turn a paler color before wilting as do spider plants so it is easy to catch them before they wilt.
Thanks again, especially for the tips on watering, I think I was overdoing it, simply because all three plants are so dense with leaves, I was afraid that when I watered, not enough water was getting to the soil. I will keep a very close eye on leaves; good to know that they turn a paler color before wilting, that is completely new to me and very helpful. I must say I just love my new hanging plants; I usually post when I get a new plant partly to get others more expert opinions, partly just to share with others my delight in acquiring yet another lovely plant with others who feel the same way about them!
I have a wandering jew in hanging basket I rescued from lowes clearance a long time ago. I have always kept it hanging right in my window that has a sheer curtain. It has been great for me nice big and full. Before I leave for work I just plop it in the sink once every week to week and a half drench it, leave it there all day to drain real good and hang it up when I get home. Doing great other than a few dry leaves here and there.
Good luck, it is a very pretty plant!
I have to say that this plant is one of my favorites.
I love the deep purple it gets in a northern exposure at my house. my plant was a glorious mound of deep purple and silvery grey this winter, but as the days are getting longer the plant begins growing again and it was getting leggy, like all do with time.
So, last week I gave it a major haircut. I took all of the pruned ends and rooted them in water. It left the mother plant looking sad, but it will be worth it when the cuttings root and start growing.
This morning I potted up the cuttings. Here is a look at them. sorry if the pic is big. (don't really know how to resize them)
i totally agree with everyone that the wandering jew and spideys need to dry out before watering again. i learned from trial and error :0 i've had my jew for about 3 years now and it has grown so much it looks like a girl with pretty curly purple hair! haha. good luck!

The Imperial Court of Washington, DC Mission The mission of the Imperial Court of Washington, DC, Inc. (ICWDC) is to raise funds for organizations, including but not limited to those supporting just the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community: HIV/AIDS services organizations, social service organizations and youth enrichment programs. We seek to provide a safe, social environment for people with the same interest as those of the membership and to create and promote positive community awareness of the ideals of the International Court System. Our members are dedicated to the causes and charities chosen by our organization. Our two-fold mission encompasses both social and philanthropic arenas. Moreover, as serious as we are about and our role in our community, we cannot deny that many of us also participate for the frivolity and creative outlet the Court encourages. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History of The Imperial Court of Washington, DC, Inc. The Imperial Court of Washington, DC, Inc., founded in 2010 and officially recognized in 2011, is proud to be the newest court in the International Court System, making ICWDC the 69th Court in the ICS's 46th year. We strive to uphold the good deeds of our founder and pledge our allegiance to our State Head, Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Nicole the Great, Queen Mother of the Americas History of The International Court System The Court System began in San Francisco in 1965, which has been known for its outrageous personalities and colorful figures since it has been in existence; Jose Sarria was notorious in San Francisco. He was perhaps the first openly gay political candidate, when he ran for city supervisor in 1961. At the same time he was doing this, a group of gay bar owners were organizing the "Tavern Guild." This organization was designed to provide support in coping with an anti-gay political machine operating in San Francisco at that time. Crowned Queen of the Beaux Arts Ball in 1964 by the Tavern Guild, Sarria, stating that he was "already a queen," proclaimed himself "Her Royal Majesty, Empress of San Francisco, José I, The Widow Norton." Sarria devised the name "Widow Norton" as a reference to the much-celebrated citizen of 19th century San Francisco, Joshua Norton, who had declared himself Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico in 1859. Though Norton was considered insane, or at least highly eccentric, the citizens of San Francisco celebrated his regal presence and his proclamations, most famously, his "order" that the United States Congress be dissolved by force (which Congress and the U.S. Army ignored), that the Republican and Democratic parties should be banned for misleading the country, and his numerous decrees calling for a bridge and a tunnel to be built across San Francisco Bay (which both happened long after his death in the form of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge and the Transbay Tube). Norton's legacy has been immortalized in the literature of writers Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Christopher Moore, and Neil Gaiman who based characters on him. P.O. Box 7752 ~ Washington, DC 20044 www.imperialcourtdc.org Sarria organized elaborate annual pilgrimages to lay flowers on Norton's grave in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Colma, California. He purchased a plot adjacent to Norton's and plans to be interred there. Sarria's assumption of the title of Empress led to the establishment of the International Court System, a network of non-profit charitable organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico that raise money for various beneficiaries. Sarria is much revered within the hierarchy of the International Court System and is affectionately and informally known as "Mama" or "Mama José" among Imperial Court members. The "José Honors Awards" are presented to Imperial Court dignitaries and others in a bi-annual banquet held in Sarria's honor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ICWDC has developed several programs for 2011-2012 that will mutually benefit both the Corporation and our business partners. Enclosed you will find information on sponsorship opportunities available with the ICWDC during 2011-2012. I hope to make this a successful year for the ICWDC, its beneficiaries, and all of our loyal businesses and sponsors. If you would be interested in becoming a sponsor, please see the information below. Additional information on the ICWDC is available from our website at http://www.imperialcourtdc.org/court/ Proceeds from the Czar Ball & Royal Convention will benefit the Imperial Court of Washington, DC Coronation Fund and the Czar's Reign Charities: History: Mautner Project was founded in 1990 following the death of Mary-Helen Mautner in 1989 of breast cancer. Shortly before her death, Mary-Helen asked her partner, Susan Hester, to start an organization that could help other lesbians facing the overwhelming challenges of life-threatening illnesses. History: The idea for PFLAG began in 1972 when Jeanne Manford marched with her gay son in New York's Pride Day parade. After many gay and lesbian people ran up to Jeanne during the parade and begged her to talk to their parents, she decided to begin a support group. The first formal meeting took place in March 1973 at a local church. Approximately 20 people attended. History: TERRIFIC, Inc. is the parent organization that operates Grandma's House®. In November of 1987, in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, TERRIFIC, Inc. established Grandma's House® "first-in-the-nation," residential "homes" for abandoned, abused and neglected, prenatally-drug exposed and HIV-infected children. Since inception, TERRIFIC, Inc. has provided loving homes and much needed services for thousands of children and families in crisis, receiving many awards while garnering local, national and international acclaim for vanguard programs and services. Today, Grandma's House® provides quality residential homes for a new population of teenage girls and boys who have experienced abuse, neglect and other difficult life circumstances. The Grandma's House® programs seek to provide youth with new goal-oriented and positive perspectives of life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We would like to thank you in advance for your sponsorship of the Czar Ball & Royal Convention 2012: A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Russian Tea Party (Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" meets the Romanovs)!

Notes from the Manager
If you ignored my note above and don't know what's going on, that's because this is part two of a six-part crossover between Dave Willis's Shortpacked! and Multiplex — which we're calling "Multipacked!" — so head over to Shortpacked! to read Part One.
Before anyone asks: yes, our webcomics take place in different cities. We're just gonna handwave that and say that in the Multiplex universe, there's a version of Shortpacked! in Chicago, and in the Shortpacked! universe, there's a version of Multiplex in San Francisco. (I had Jason turn up there once before, for a Shortpacked! guest comic that I did a little over a year ago, so I guess that's Multiplex canon now.)
The Shortpacked!/Multiplex crossover started on Monday over at Shortpacked!, and we'll alternate for the next few days — so Multiplex today (duh), SP! on Wednesday, Multiplex on Thursday, and then conclude on Friday with strips at both sites. (Dave's Friday comic will be first chronologically.) I'll see you tomorrow over at Shortpacked! and then back here on Thursday!
Dear New Visitors from Shortpacked!
If you're new to Multiplex, I generally recommend starting from the beginning, but as you all know, the first year or two of a long-running webcomic are rarely indicative of its eventual quality, so if you'd rather get a feel for what the strip evolves into, maybe start at Chapter 26 instead.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

Q: I have been in business for five years and have decided to embark on an online-marketing campaign to expand my consulting business. Where do I start?
A: Online marketing can be a very big part of how you get exposure and build your business. Internet marketing is primarily a "pull" versus "push" type of marketing. We're not pushing our brand onto the masses; we're sharing strategic information in order to entice our ideal prospects to step forward and initiate contact. By speaking to their biggest dreams and challenges, they will be naturally attracted to the solutions you have to offer.
Here is a list of steps to plan and execute on your website:
??post a blog-based platform, such as WordPress. It's inexpensive, easily changeable and customizable. It can be up and running in a day or less.
??Link your website to social media accounts. Whenever you post a blog entry, it will automatically circulate through your social media accounts as well.
??On your home page, include what's in it for them. Make them say, "Hey, he is talking about me! I want to know more." In addition, create a free gift that visitors can download in exchange for their contact information. This will help you build a niche-based community and database of interested prospects.
??Set up a system to communicate with your community on a regular basis (tips, newsletters, videos, blog entries, podcasts, a mix of them all).
Most importantly, take the time to get clear on your social media message. The success of your online campaign is directly related to knowing who your ideal client is and how you can best serve them. Once you have this clarity, consistently sharing your expertise with your online community will prove to be a strong part of growing your business.

In the wake of last week's discontinuation of TrueCrypt, data protection software developer Jetico welcomes TrueCrypt users with a painless, copy-paste migration to BestCrypt data encryption software. In addition, Jetico has published source codes to prove there are no backdoors or security vulnerabilities.
A feature comparison chart between TrueCrypt and BestCrypt, as well as download details, can be found at: **https://www.jetico.com/welcome-truecrypt-users-migrate-to-bestcrypt**
Jetico's BestCrypt encryption software is commercially maintained and is the industry's most reliable solution to support disk and file encryption of Windows 8 and UEFI computers. Pricing starts at $44.95 (with 25% discount for TrueCrypt users).
"Jetico's BestCrypt actually exceeds TrueCrypt's open source encryption software capabilities," says Michael Waksman, CEO of Jetico. "TrueCrypt was modeled after Jetico's encryption software, which we began developing in 1995, nearly a decade ahead of TrueCrypt's arrival. The similar 'volume' and 'container' structure has helped our business over the years as TrueCrypt users looking for more features and support have switched to Jetico's BestCrypt. Our commercially maintained software offers advanced features and is professionally updated – ensuring that you have reliable, ongoing data protection. If you like TrueCrypt, then you will love us!"
Transparent encryption, hidden or deniable encryption, container-level compatibility across Windows, Linux and Mac and user-friendly interface based on 'drag and drop', are all features of Jetico's TrueCrypt alternative. BestCrypt Container Encryption stores selected files and folders in virtual drives, while BestCrypt Volume Encryption is a more flexible alternative to full disk encryption, offering full support for RAID.
For anyone worried about backdoors hiding in commercial encryption software, Jetico has addressed that concern by opening the source codes of its encryption and key generation modules. Just visit the Support section on Jetico.com to download the BestCrypt Development Kit.
Compared to TrueCrypt, Jetico's BestCrypt offers added features and benefits, including:
- Full support for Windows 8 and UEFI
- Swap File encryption
- Advanced deniable encryption, allowing several hidden containers
- Keyboard Filter, Anti-Keylogger prevents password interception
- Military-grade file wiping with BCWipe
- Professional technical support
- Ongoing software maintenance
About Jetico
Jetico provides military-standard data protection software for sensitive and mission-critical data throughout the lifecycle. Trusted for over 10 years by the U.S. Department of Defense, Jetico's BCWipe is for clearing files with surgical precision such as in response to classified data spills, while BCWipe Total WipeOut can erase hard drive data entirely such as for disposal or decommission. Jetico's BestCrypt protects the data you keep with strong encryption that's easy to use. Enterprise Editions of Jetico software include Jetico Central Manager to empower Administrators with control of client software on remote computers.

Old Laws, New Tricks: Using the Clean Air Act to Curb Climate Change
Few if any people think the Clean Air Act is the optimal legislative solution to climate change; but it is a powerful tool that is being used sometimes despite the prevailing political will. To address this reality, this volume calls on the best writing from the most often-cited environmental law journal in the United States, the Environmental Law Reporter®, to explain the possibilities and pitfalls in using this regulatory framework to address greenhouse gases (GHGs) and short-lived climate pollutants. This collection does not have a singular perspective or agenda other than to highlight multiple suggestions about ways in which the Act should or should not be used to address climate change. The Environmental Law Institute and editors of Environmental Law Reporter® do not endorse any approach outlined in these pages but instead present various ideas to educate and spur public debate and discussion.

Opinions Please/ I'm Narrowing Down Paint Colors
My open plan main floor will feature floor to ceiling cabinets in the kitchen that are Plain & Fancy's Buttercream. It is very near BM's White Dove. I am thinking of doing the walls in the kitchen & adjoining areas in BM Carrington Beige. I'm leaning toward BM Simply White for all the trim.
For upstairs bedrooms I am considering White Dove for the walls and carrying the Simply White throughout for trim.
Do you think these colors, specifically the two white shades, work well together?
Thanks, kimberlykb, for the bump. I know how hard it is to offer specific color advice without attached pics, so I didn't anticipate lots of replies. I held out hope that some might be familiar enough with these paint colors to comment on whether they saw them as compatible.
We've had to move out of our home because all the bedrooms had to be emptied for ww/carpet removal and installation of new wood floors. We only get in the house at night to check on progress. Between the lack of natural light and the disarray on the main floor because of construction, I haven't been able to get helpful new photos to post.
But one thing I discovered just today is that the P&F door sample I have is not the close match to White Dove that I thought it was when I matched it up against the paint chip. When I put it up against larger samples it reads closer to BM White Chocolate.
I much prefer the White Chocolate with Simply White for trim. They both read warm white to me and seem to work better than White Dove w/ Simply White. White Dove's grey tones looked a bit dingy when they were side by side.
I'm still liking Carrington Beige next to the cab and granite samples and plan to use it throughout the main floor instead of another white.
Would love to hear if anyone here has used Carrington Beige.

Stephen McDannell Hillenburg (born August 21, 1961) is an American marine biologist, marine scientist, animator, writer, producer, actor, voice actor, and director best known for creating the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. He currently owns his own production company, United Plankton Pictures and has also written for Mother Goose and Grimm and Rocko's Modern Life.
After graduating from Savanna High School in Anaheim, California, Hillenburg enrolled in Humboldt State University and graduated in 1984 with a degree in natural-resource planning and interpretation, with an emphasis in marine resources.
Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated series created by Joe Murray. The show aired for four seasons between 1993 and 1996 on Nickelodeon. Rocko's Modern Life is based around the surreal, parodic adventures of an anthropomorphic, Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko, and his new life in the city of O-Town. The show explores his American life as well as the lives of his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog, Spunky. The show is laden with adult humor, including double entendres, innuendos, and satirical social commentary.
Joe Murray initially created the title character for an unpublished comic book series in the late 1980s, and later reluctantly pitched the series to Nickelodeon, who were looking for edgier cartoonists for their new Nicktoons block. The network gave the staff a large amount of creative freedom, the writers targeting both children and adults. The show's animation stylistically features crooked architecture. In addition, Murray picked many newcomer voice actors, such as Tom Kenny and Carlos Alazraqui, who have gone on to become very popular. The show was the fourth Nicktoon to premiere. Kenny described the show's impact in an interview, saying, "Rocko's Modern Life was just one of those shows that were the first break for a lot of people who went on to do other stuff in the business."
SpongeBob SquarePants (often referred to simply as SpongeBob) is an American animated television series, created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. The series chronicles the exploits and adventures of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, contributing to its position as Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most distributed property of MTV Networks, and among Nicktoons' most watched shows. The media franchise generated an $8 billion merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon.
Hillenburg initially conceived the show in 1984 and began to work on it shortly after the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life in 1996. To voice the character of SpongeBob, Hillenburg approached Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on Rocko's Modern Life. SpongeBob was originally to be named SpongeBoy, but the name was already in use for a mop product. Upon finding it out, Hillenburg decided to use the name "SpongeBob". He chose "SquarePants" as a family name as it referred to the character's square shape and it had a "nice ring to it".

Bring Attention to Our Waters
During the rainy season, the water level of Lake Okeechobee rises, prompting the U.S Corps of Engineers to open locks around the lake. This procedure relieves pressure on the aging (and inadequate) Herbert Hoover Dike. The polluted Lake water is released into the canal system on both the east and west side, allowing bacteria and chemicals to pollute the estuaries.
As a result, our marine life, birds, sea grass and economy are suffering. Scientists report dolphins still have a high level of bacteria in their system, therefore we need to keep our efforts and awareness on promoting change.
Questions, issues or concerns? I'd love to help you!

Virginia bluebells vs Spanish bluebells?
Hi, Ive decided to plant Virginia bluebells for the first time but I dont know much about them, including when and how to plant, and whether they are a better / worse choice than Spanish bluebells.
I would be grateful for some any counsel.
When & where to get?
When & how to plant?
Are they generally considered reliable and 'easy'?
zone 7 , Virginia
Virginia bluebells (mertensia virginica) are reliable, easy and beautiful. They spread easily and you'll be finding them in places you never expected. However, they are ephemeral and will disappear quickly.
Leaves emerge purple and soon change to a silky, soft blue-grey colour and the flowers open from pink buds into sprays of blue bell-shaped flowers the colour of the sky. Soon after blooming, the entire plant will disappear until the following spring. They are great companions for later emerging plants like hostas and ferns. One of my favourite flowers of the spring; they also combine well with hellebores, trilliums, arum italicum and bloodroot.
I don't know what Spanish bluebells are and cannot comment on them. But I have a vague memory of a bulb with that name.
Spanish Bluebell is a hyacinth like flower. They are nice too but the Virginia Bluebell is a more true blue where the Spanish is purple. If I had to choose between the two I'd pick the VIrginia both because it is a native and because of the color.
Spanish bluebells are a very aggressively spreading bulb.
Virginia bluebells are a woodland perennial wildflower.
Spanish bluebells form thick clumps and their foliage can smother other plants as it dies back in a slimy mess.
They seed all over including into the crowns of more desirable plants and are a real PITA to dig out. I've been fighting them twenty years and never planted them in the first place.
They do have pretty bluish flowers for a couple of weeks....I would not advise anyone to plant them.
cripes yes, avoid Spanish bluebells(hyacinthoides hispanica) - a nasty aggressive plant - we have an especial apathy towards them since they have hybridised with our native bluebells (hyacinthoides non-scripta), taking all the good attributes of the english bluebell -grace, fragrance, mannerliness and evocative, to lumber us with a rampant weed, with dull flowers and rank foliage.
You should be able to find VB in garden centers now. Or you could wait until fall and order them online. They shouldn't be hard to find.
I love mine and yes, they do reseed all over the place, but make sure you don't make them the focal point of any bed. They are gorgeous in bloom, but the flowers don't last all that long and when they start to go dormant, they are very, very ugly. Make sure you have other plants nearby to take ones attention away from the yellowing foliage.
I don't know Dee. I think some of these bells are a confusing bunch and from so many different descriptions I have read from so many different sites, area some one may live you hear different performance.
I have one of the bluebells in my garden that was here when I purchased the property and I am sure they have been here probably 50 years ago and they are not taking over. I have no idea which bell it is. All I know is what is aggressive and people have told me is a horrible thug in a zone 8 will cling to life in my zone 5/6.
Funny, I have what I assume is one Virginia bluebell that came with my house, that has never ever spread. I finally divided it a couple years ago, because I wanted more! I don't know if it being in complete shade has affected the self-sowing (or lack thereof).
I love both of them. I have Va bluebells that were started from seed 3 years ago that are finally blooming this year! Exciting! You can buy them online, although if they seem too cheap they might be dug from the wild.
And Spanish Bluebells will reseed but I don't find them super aggressive. In fact if you have a vole invade your garden, these bulbs will quickly disappear! I had gorgeous big clumps in the front garden that were wiped out by the voles 2 years ago. Finally the smaller clumps that I transplanted back in are putting on some size.
I think they are both beautiful when they bloom, and wouldn't be without either one. Although Mertensia virginica is simply heavenly in bloom and probably my favorite early blooming perennial.
I wanted to add that while my Spanish bluebells haven't moved from the spot they started out in, they are very reliable - I can always count on them to return and bloom beautifully.
My Virginia bluebells, on the other hand, are not totally reliable in coming back. They seem to be weaker in terms of hardiness and returning and vigor, and the show seems to actually be getting smaller instead of bigger, although I was pleased to see a few new (little) plants around the garden this year.
If there is even a hint of aggressiveness (from ANY source, not just my experience) I won't recommend a plant to someone, because that is a terrible situation to have and I don't want to put anyone in that situation, but I did want to share MY experience with bluebells to help if possible. And that being said, I will now be keeping any eye on the Spanish bells to make sure they behave!
Mertensia virginica is absolutely hands down the better of the two plants. I grow both.
I grow the supposedly larger-than-normal form of Spanish bluebells called 'Excelsior'. When in bloom, it can be very pretty, but it is generally quite coarse looking and a rank grower. Color is more purple than blue and they have none of the charm or fragrance of true hyacinths (especially the multi flowered Festival hyacinths) that are their closest garden lookalikes. In my loose sandy soil, I find the bulbs are easy to dig up and remove, so I am gradually getting rid of them and replacing with plants I think are more attractive, such as different color forms of Primula sieboldii, Geranium maculatum and Phlox divaricata.
Virginia bluebells, when settled in and well grown, can be truly spectacular in their season, much more so than you would imagine from seeing them in photos. In my opinion, it is one of the aristocrats among native wildflowers and gives a crowd pleasing show when planted with Stylophorum diphyllum and Trillium grandiflorum. Yes, the foliage can look yellow and unattractive while going dormant for the season, but it is not a prolonged, agonizing, slimy death like the Spanish bluebells. In fact, I find the foliage "melts away" with rain.

well diggerdee - try to move your SB clump and you will find a million little white bulblets. Nope, your clump will not move around or even grow massively......but you will never be rid of them if you ever change your mind. That is what I mean by aggressive - they just refuse to fade away but return again....and again and again.....FOREVER
Campanula, I am HONESTLY not trying to start an argument. I am just very surprised by the descriptions of aggressiveness, and don't understand as, like I said, my Spanish bluebells have not budged an inch in five years or more. The clumps have not even really gotten much bigger in that time. I am truly overly-worried about planting anything aggressive. I have been fighting things such as poison ivy, garlic mustard, sheep's sorrel, sassafras, wild raspberry, bittersweet, virginia creeper, and wild rose in my yard for over 15 years (I'm not even counting the stuff in the lawn that I DON'T bother to battle - violets, wild strawberry, Canadian mayapple, wild plantain, haircap moss, bluets, not to mention the always popular dandelions!) Even the native goldenrod, which I absolutely love, pops up where it's really not convenient and I spend lots of time digging and moving it. I therefore would never knowingly plant anything remotely aggressive. So now I'm a bit concerned about the Spanish bluebells.
But - and again, not trying to argue - but wouldn't your description - "your clump will not move around or even grow massively...they just refuse to fade away but return again....and again and again....." be exactly something one would WANT in a garden plant?
Hiacynthoides hispanica is not on my list of non-native plants that I worry about being invasive or even aggressive. Although there are plenty of others I'm battling, mostly woody plants.
Here's one of my fave pics of H. hispanica. I took this years ago and am bummed because this was one of the clumps the voles ate -

Oh Digger - I am not wanting to be contentious either but, I have already explained that spanish bluebells come with unwelcome baggage in the UK - a bit like the grey squirrel thugging out our nervous little native red squirrel......and the english bluebells have the most extraordinary fragrance and luminous blue colouring - both lacking in spanish bluebells. And, probably invasive is the wrong term but, if you did change your mind and try to remove the spanish interlopers, that's when the problems start.
As for coming back forever, well OK if you love the plant....but a misery if you decide that it is one you would rather consign to the compost heap
Campanula, do you have any photos of your English bluebells? You got me wondering about them, and a google search gave me several articles (bemoaning, as you mentioned, the crossing with the Spanish ones) but the photos are all different (as the photos of anything one searches on google always seem to be!)
But the funny thing is, I have one little plant out on my slope by the street, which I never planted, and which appeared about three years ago. I thought at first it was a Spanish bluebell, but it's not. Then I thought it was one of the minor bulbs I plant (scilla, etc.) but it's not that either. Now, in looking at the images for English bluebells, some of the images look just like the plant out on my slope!
I have no idea where an English bluebell would have come from to plant itself in my front yard, but now I'm curious. I haven't seen this little plant yet, so I am going to see if its out there.
I do wish image searches were more reliable...
I have Virginia Bluebells in my wooded yard that I purchased less than two years ago. There is one plant in the front bed by the entry to the house, and 20-30 more plants growing wild out back in my unkempt wood. Here in Michigan I believe Virginia Bluebells are a protected wildflower that is not supposed to be picked or moved. I know my mother has had one in the back of her property that we've watched for every spring for 20-plus years. That one plant has returned each spring, but has not spread or multiplied. I feel quite lucky to have so many of them on my property. I may try to collect a few seeds and see if I can't get a few more to grow in the front of my yard. Good luck in your choices.
I checked and the mystery bluebell is indeed out on the slope by the street. I will see if I can get a photo tomorrow - I'm sitting here with two broken cameras! I'll use DH's phone tomorrow, if the bluebell didn't get decimated by the rain.
Speaking of photos, RyseRyse do you have any of your blooming woodlands? Sounds lovely!
Here are some photos I just took in my yard of Spanish Bluebells and why I consider them aggressive weeds.
Please note that I never planted them, they have spread by seeding and I've been digging them out twenty years....all these beds were lawn when we bought the house but there were some Spanish Bluebells in the neighbor's yard and on the side of the house by a big Hydrangea that seeded....Yes, I know I've got other weeds too ;)
They grow up into the crowns of other plants and are very hard to dig out. They just finished blooming so they aren't as easy to see in the photos. They'll turn yellow in a couple of weeks and get very slimy and attract slugs like crazy too.
Why do you let them turn yellow and slimy?
In my beds above I have roses, ornamental small bushes and daylilies. When the BB are done blooming they are cut down. I also have a lot of daffodils, tulips and other Spring bulbs.
The daylily, roses and ornamental shrubs take their place and the beds are mulched at that time. It is the beginning of my Summer clean up for the Summer flowering plant show.
I cannot cut the other spring bulb leaves but the BB do not need their leaves. Cut them down do some weeding, put down some much and you end your slimy ugly mess.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Between the Flood and the call to Abraham, between the universal covenant with Noah and the particular covenant with one people comes the strange, suggestive story of Babel:
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth" (Genesis 11:1-4).
The larger theme of the story of Babel is the second act in a four-act drama that is unmistakably one of the connecting threads of Bereishit, the Book of Beginnings. It is a sustained polemic against the city and all that went with it in the ancient world. The city, it seems to say, is not where we find God.
The first act begins with the first two human children. Cain and Abel both bring offerings to God. God accepts Abel's, not Cain's. Cain, in anger, murders Abel. God confronts him with his guilt: "Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground." Cain's punishment was to be a "restless wanderer on the earth." Cain then "went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden." We then read:
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch: and he [Cain] built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch (Genesis 4:17).
The first city, born in blood, was founded by the first murderer, the first fratricide.
In case one thinks otherwise, the story of Cain is not as founding myth because the Bible is not interested in Cain's city, nor does it valorise acts of violence. It is the opposite of a founding myth. It is a critique of cities as such. The most important fact about the first city, according to the Bible, is that it was built in defiance of God's will. Cain was sentenced to a life of wandering, but instead he built a town.
The third act, more dramatic because more detailed, is Sodom, the largest or most prominent of the cities of the plain in the Jordan Valley. It is there that Lot, Abraham's nephew, makes his home. The first time we are introduced to it, in Genesis 13, is when there is a quarrel between Abraham's herdsmen and those of Lot. Abraham suggests that they separate. Lot sees the affluence of the Jordan plain. It was "well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt" (Genesis 13:10). He decides to live there. Immediately we are told that "the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord." Given the choice between affluence and virtue, Lot chooses affluence.
Five chapters later comes the great scene in which God announces his plan to destroy the city, and Abraham challenges him. Perhaps there are fifty innocent people there, perhaps just ten. How can God destroy the whole city? "Shall the judge of all the earth not do justice?" God agrees: if there are ten innocent people, He will not destroy the city.
In the next chapter, we see two of the three angels that had visited Abraham arrive at Lot's house in Sodom. Shortly thereafter, a terrible scene plays itself out:
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom – both young and old – surrounded the house. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them" (Genesis 19:4-5).

Well after a little over a year of this organic lawn care forum, I guess I am glad they started it. I was very skeptical at first because it seemed like there were a lot of people on the regular lawn forum that were more than curious about an organic program but not necessarily curious enough to go looking for another forum. At the same time there was a lot more tension and even antagonism on the other lawn care forum when organics were mentioned. That seems to have calmed down now, so I guess this was a good idea.
I like the idea of two separate forums. When I respond to posts here, the organic approach is emphasized. In the lawn forum, I usually suggest and learn things about both disciplines. I do believe in the "hybrid" approach as one transitions to a full organic lawn and garden program

When I stumbled onto this forum last summer it totally changed how I care for my lawn. Now I am recruiting others. I plan to deliver soybean meal to my family and friends and I am visiting a friend soon to make a trip to Starbucks for coffee grounds to spread and to spread some soybean meal. I bought them a Weed Hound last year. Thanks to everyone for all the great advice and info.
GardenWeb was new to me the last couple years. I recall challenging some conventional approaches in the lawn care forum as a few others did, shortly after was the creation of this great forum. I am now learning what I wanted to initially find at GardenWeb about organics.
I send interested people to this site/forum all the time as it is the most informative location of organic discussion on the web!
Great job dchall
