Toxicity of the Moonflower Vine (Ipomoea Alba)The moonflower vine (which will be considered Ipomoea alba throughout this post) is a beautiful plant; a bit mysterious, too. I have read numerous internet accounts of this vine. The most consistent fact in these accounts is the inconsistency in their 'facts'.

 

Hot Red Mexican Bird of Paradise TreeMy first time to ever see such a beautiful bloom on a plant. I got home and read the label and it says, no water preferably full sun, tree gets 10 foot wide by maybe up to 15 foot tall! I said you're kidding, I've already planted it into my yard, but only six inches away from my fence OMG what to do?

Chevy Silverado Heater Not Working?I have a 2001 Chevy Silverado. The AC works fine, but when I turn on the heat it blows only lukewarm air at best. It is hot when the blower is off.
