Dear visitors,




a few new plants I have added today in already existing families:

Euphorbiaceae
Acalypha hispida, the cat's tail, spurge family.

Ericaceae
Calluna vulgaris or Scots Heather and Erica terminalis as well, heath family.
The Ericaceae have a strong connection to rheumatic diseases (best known from Rhododendron, Ledum & Kalmia), especially when there is a sensitivity to moisture, coldness and changes in weather.
Rhododendron can even predict a thunder.
General observation to the Ericaceae:
Many members of the heath family seem to be connected to tick bites and there consequences (Lyme disease).
Vaccinum myrtillus: in summer when you go out to collect the delicious blueberries, it is quite common that you get attacked by ticks.
Those who attract can also carry the energy to protect.

Order Liliales
Colchicum autumnale und Colchicum agrippina, to find in the order of Liliales

Carnivorous plants
Drosera binata, the forked sundew, this amazing plant you can find in my collection of carnivorous plants.

Fabaceae
Indigofera heterantha, the himalayan Indigo, added to the Legumes family.

Cannabaceae
And as a new family you can now find the hemp family (Cannabaceae) in the menu.
Hops, a creeping plant, very well known from the manufacture of beer.
And Cannabis sativa, susp. indica, the Marijuana plant.

best wishes
