Grandpa wants to end five-year debate: Is it a flower or a weed? - Belleville News-Democrat

This year, it grew over 3 feet high and has lots of buds, which turned purple. If it is not a flower (tame or wild) and is a weed, as my grandson says, could you please identify it? A. B. of BellevilleA: Your plant is considered a weed, and your grandson is correct. The plant is commonly called burdock (Arctium minus). This plant starts the first year as a flat plant with the leaves somewhat hugging the soil and then the second year grows upward and forms flowers. It got taller this year, as we experienced more rain. The flowers are small, red-violet disk flowers, surrounded by numerous hooks, which later form a burr. There is a taller species of burdock that is larger in all respects, great burdock (Arctium lappa).Q: My neighbor and I just noticed yesterday morning that our bannisters and our plants are covered with some kind of clear, sticky substance. In some cases, it seems to be leaving black, greasy marks on my iris, and I think it is affecting my daylily leaves. We live in an old neighborhood and have large sycamore and tulip trees on our properties. What is causing this to happen this year? We’ve been living next to each other for a long time, and we’ve not noticed this before. Is it harmful? It seems to be affecting more than just the surface of my daylily leaves. My maple tree seems to have tiny, pink bugs on it — ... http://www.bnd.com/living/magazine/article156308839.html

Plymouth flower shop closes after four decades as owner retires - Hometown Life

Museum, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and volunteering with Angela Hospice with flowers."We're always trying to do for others," she said.Then earlier this year, the coronavirus pandemic hit Michigan, forcing her to close her doors temporarily. During that time, she looked ahead to what doing business in a world occupied by COVID-19 looked like. She said she did not want to operate like that and risk her health. So she's decided to retire."While we were closed, every day in the news was something different," she said. "I just said, 'I think that it's time.'"'I'm going to miss the customers'Ribar, who still lives down the street from the floral shop, said she was sad to hear the shop still bearing her name would close, but understood why Morrison would decide to do it.She said meeting Morrison decades ago was an important point in her professional life."It would've been a monumental task (to stay open). She's a hard worker, always has been," Ribar said of Morrison. "She does anything you need to do and happy to do it. We did a good thing when we met Lori."Morrison planned to be out of the space by the end of the month. While Morrison said she's looking forward to spending time with family and friends or traveling near Christmas instead of working, she said she will miss the loyal customers that came in all the time looking for that personal touch in flowers. She said she hasn't ruled out helping out in other flower shops in the future; she said she's already had some people inquire if she wants to help during a busier season in the future."I'm going to miss the customers," she said. "I'm certainly not going to miss the long hours or smelling like sap. "I am going to miss the people I see every Christmas."... https://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/plymouth/2020/06/25/plymouth-floral-shop-closes/5306585002/

For Livingston County nurseries closed over the coronavirus: 'May is make it or break it' - Livingston Daily

Her hanging flower baskets and flats of flowers are beginning to bloom as April nears its halfway point. However, like other nurseries and retail garden centers in Michigan, Morehouse's business, Tulip Tree Gardens, is not going to open for the season on time.The delay is due to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay home order, which she recently extended until April 30 with tighter restrictions. "If Gov. Whitmer keeps everything closed past May 1, she'll kill agriculture," Morehouse said. "Half of what I've prepared to sell would be sold by Mother's Day."She said she believes any more extensions of the stay home order would bankrupt nurseries like hers. MORE: New map shows where COVID-19 cases are in countyMORE: Former judge David Reader to run for county prosecutorMORE: No Livingston County residents charged with order violationsBefore the spread of COVID-19 in the state, Morehouse was planning to open Saturday.
