<h2>Ribwort plantain, English plantain Seeds (Plantago lanceolata)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 560 (1g) seeds.</h2> Plantago lanceolata is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. It is known by the common names ribwort plantain, narrowleaf plantain, English plantain, ribleaf, lamb's tongue, and buckhorn. It is a common weed on cultivated or disturbed land. The plant is a rosette-forming perennial herb, with leafless, silky, hairy flower stems (10–40 cm or 3.9–15.7 in). The basal leaves are lanceolate spreading or erect, scarcely toothed with 3-5 strong parallel veins narrowed to a short petiole. The flower stalk is deeply furrowed, ending in an ovoid inflorescence of many small flowers each with a pointed bract. [5]:248 Each inflorescence can produce up to two hundred seeds. Flowers are 4 millimetres (0.16 in) (calyx green, corolla brownish), 4 bent back lobes with brown midribs and long white stamens. It is native to temperate Eurasia, widespread throughout the British Isles, but scarce on the most acidic soils (pH < 4.5). It is present and widespread in the Americas and Australia as an introduced species. Plantago lanceolata is native to Eurasia, but has been introduced to North America and many other parts of the world with suitable habitats. Considered to be an indicator of agriculture in pollen diagrams, P. lanceolata has been found in western Norway from the Early Neolithic onwards, which is considered an indicator of grazing in that area at the time.[7] This would make sense, as P. lanceolata thrives in open fields where livestock are frequently disturbing the ground. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Uses</h2> Plantago lanceolata is used frequently in herbal teas and other herbal remedies.[8] A tea from the leaves is used as a cough medicine. In the traditional Austrian medicine Plantago lanceolata leaves have been used internally (as syrup or tea) or externally (fresh leaves) for treatment of disorders of the respiratory tract, skin, insect bites, and infections.[9] The leaves can be eaten when very young. Songbirds eat the seeds, and the leaves are eaten by rabbits. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Chemistry</h2> Plantago lanceolata contains phenylethanoids such as acteoside (verbascoside), cistanoside F, lavandulifolioside, plantamajoside and isoacteoside.[12] It also contains the iridoid glycosides aucubin and catalpol.[13] These iridoid glycosides make the plant inedible to some herbivores, but others are unperturbed by them--for example, the buckeye butterfly Junonia coenia, whose larvae eat the leaves of P. lanceolata and ingest the iridoid glycosides to make themselves unpalatable to predators. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Habitat</h2> Plantago lanceolata can live anywhere from very dry meadows to places similar to a rain forest,[14] but it does best in open, disturbed areas. It is therefore common near roadsides where other plants cannot flourish; it grows tall if it can do so, but in frequently-mowed areas it adopts a flat growth habit instead. Historically, the plant has thrived in areas where ungulates graze and turn up the earth with their hooves. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Reproduction</h2> The mode of reproduction can vary among populations of P. lanceolata.[15] Reproduction occurs sexually, with the pollen being wind dispersed for the most part, though the plant is occasionally pollinated by bees.[15] P. lanceolata cannot reproduce asexually in the way that many other species of Plantago can; instead, it is an obligate outcrosser. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Enemies</h2> <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Insect predation</h3> Plantago lanceolata is host to many different species of the order Lepidoptera. Species such as Junonia coenia, Spilosoma congrua, and Melitaea cinxia lay their eggs on P. lanceolata plants so they can serve as a food source for the larvae when they hatch.[16][17] The iridoid glycosides in the plant leaves accumulate in the caterpillars and make them unpalatable to predators. <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Infection by powdery mildew</h3> Podosphaera plantaginis is a powdery mildew fungus that infects P. lanceolata. All of the P. lanceolata populations are infected by several strains of this powdery mildew fungus.[18] Once the populations are infected, the symptoms are minimal at first. Then, after a few weeks or months lesions start to appear covering the entire surface of the leaves and the stem, making it very noticeable.[14] Another species that infects P. lanceolata is Golovinomyces sordidus. Both of these mildews are obligate biotrophs, meaning that they can only infect living tissue. They cover the surface of the leaves and extend hyphae into the cell matrix in order to extract nutrients. <h4 style="color: #000000; font-size: 14px;">Resistance to powdery mildew</h4> After the populations are infected, they react in different ways. Some populations of P. lanceolata are more susceptible to different strains of powdery mildew. Also, some populations have multiple resistance phenotypes where on the other hand, others may only have one resistance phenotype.[14] Overall, the populations that have the highest variety of resistance phenotypes will have the highest survival rates particularly when rates of infection are high. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">In popular culture</h2> In the UK and Ireland the plant is used by children to play various simple games. In Edinburgh, Scotland this game is called ‘The 1 o’clock gun’ after the gun that fires everyday from Edinburgh Castle. Writer Sean Michael Wilson notes that: "When I was a kid in Edinburgh we used it for a cute wee game called ‘The 1 o’clock gun’ - we twisted the stalk around into a kind of noose, quickly pulled it (with the left hand pulling back sharply and the right hand moving forward) and then the head of the stalk would go shooting off. Piitttt!! We used to see how far we could get it to go - great fun." In the West Country of England the same game is called 'cannonballs'. Another game played with the plant in Scotland and Ireland and possibly also in England is called 'Bishops'. This game is a bit like conkers; a child tries to knock off the head of their friend's stalk using their own stalk, via a fast downward thrust. <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2 class="">Saskatoon Serviceberry Seeds (Amelanchier alnifolia)</h2> <div> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</h2> </div> <div>Amelanchier alnifolia, the saskatoon, Pacific serviceberry, western serviceberry, alder-leaf shadbush, dwarf shadbush, chuckley pear, or western juneberry, is a shrub with edible berry-like fruit, native to North America from Alaska across most of western Canada and in the western and north-central United States. Saskatoon Serviceberry each year announces their presence in the early springtime when the slender pinkish buds turn to 1-inch white flowers blooming so profusely that the branches are obscured by their feathery petals. The blooms are reminiscent of the witch hazel. Deciduous, ranging in height to 35 feet and up to 20 feet wide, the Saskatoon Serviceberry begins its annual growth cycle with these flowers even before the leaves sprout in their shades of silver or red which turn to green. The leaves are downy when they are young and similar to those of cherry cultivars. The mature leaf color is dark green or even a slightly blue tint on top, not glossy, and pale on the underside. They are thicker and more firm in texture than the cherry leaves. After the blooms fade the fruits appear in the latter part of June or early July, hence another of its common names, the Juneberry. These plentiful red-purple fruits are sweet and juicy, soft in texture, and often said to be similar in taste to apples. This is quite natural, as they are a member of the apple family. The fruits are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter with 2 to 5 very small seeds in the pear or apple-like core. They resemble high bush blueberries in size and shape, but they are not related to the blueberry. One would think the lovely blooms and delicious fruit would be enough of a gift from these trees, but in autumn the oval or oblong-shaped leaves, 2 to 5 inches long and 1 to 2 inches wide, turn to wondrous shades of yellow-orange to reddish-purple before they fall to carpet the ground beneath. In winter the overall rounded shape of the branches is pleasing to the eye with their gray to black coloration until the new red-brown twigs start the cycle anew come spring. The bark itself is interesting, tightly holding the trunk(s) and branches, it has very distinctive vertical lines. It becomes more scaly as the tree matures. Uses: A wonderful landscape plant, the flowers, foliage, and bark are attractive year-round. Not invasive, the Serviceberry can be planted without fear in beds with other shrubs or trees or as specimen plants. Very resistant to air pollution, they can be grown with a single trunk or multiple trunked groves. They make an excellent windbreak when planted fairly close together so the branches can intertwine to form a living fence. Economically the wood of the Serviceberry is occasionally made into tool handles, but its most common contribution to humans and wildlife is the delicious berries. Berries: Sweet in taste, the fruits have long been eaten by Canada's Aboriginal people as pemmican, a preparation of dried meat to which Saskatoon berries are added as flavor and preservative. They are also often used in pies, jams, wines, cider, beers, and sugar-infused berries similar to dried cranberries are used for cereals, trail mix and snack foods, Nutritional.

<h2 class="">Adam's needle seeds (Yucca filamentosa)</h2> <div style="color: #232323; font-size: 16px;"> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</h2> <div> Yucca filamentosa, Adam’s needle and thread, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae native to the southeastern United States. Growing to 3 m (10 ft) tall, it is an evergreen shrub valued in horticulture for its architectural qualities. Y. filamentosa is closely related to Yucca flaccida and it is possible they should be classified as a single species. </div> </div> <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Names</h2> Its common names include Adam's needle, common yucca, Spanish bayonet,[5] bear-grass, needle-palm, silk-grass, and spoon-leaf yucca. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Description</h2> Usually trunkless, it is multisuckering with heads of 75 cm (30 in) long, filamentous, blue-green, strappy leaves. Y. filamentosa is readily distinguished from other yucca species by white, thready filaments along the leaf margins.[7] Flower stems up to 3 m (10 ft) tall bear masses of pendulous cream flowers in early summer.[4] They are pollinated by the yucca moth Tegeticula yuccasella.[8][9] Other moth species, such as Tegeticula intermedia, also use this yucca as a host plant to lay their eggs. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Distribution and habitat</h2> Yucca filamentosa is found from southeast Virginia south to Florida, and as far west as south and southeast Texas.[4] It has become naturalized along the Atlantic coastal plain north to Long Island Sound and into areas of the lower Midwest. It is reportedly also naturalized in France, Italy and Turkey.[11] This plant is most commonly found in sandy soils, especially in beach scrub and dunes, but also in fields, barrens, and rocky slopes, though it grows well also in silt or clay soils. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Cultivation</h2> Y. filamentosa is widely cultivated in mild temperate and subtropical climates. A fairly compact species, it nevertheless presents a striking appearance with its sword-like leaves and dramatic flowerheads. It is naturally a focal point in the landscape, also providing a tropical touch in temperate gardens. It needs full sun and a well-drained soil, preferring an acid or slightly alkaline pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. It develops a large, fleshy, white taproot with deep lateral roots. Once planted and established, it is difficult to remove, as the roots keep sending up new shoots for many years. It is normally hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F) (USDA hardiness zones of 5 to 9: UK H5). <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Uses</h2> Once the seeds have been removed, the fruits can be cooked and eaten. The large flower petals can also be eaten in salads. The leaves, stems, and roots of this plant can be used to stun fish. The Cherokee used it for this purpose.

<h2>Palestinian sweet lime seeds (Citrus limettioides)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 2 seeds.</h2> Citrus limettioides, Palestinian sweet lime or Indian sweet lime or common sweet lime, alternatively considered a cultivar of Citrus × limon, C. × limon 'Indian Lime', is a low acid lime that has been used in Palestine for food, juice, and rootstock. Indian sweet lime is a small evergreen tree with few thorns, growing 4 - 6 meters tall. The tree is sometimes cultivated for its edible fruit, especially in India, the Mediterranean region, Vietnam, and tropical America It is a member of the sweet limes. Like the Meyer lemon, it is the result of a cross between the citron (Citrus medica) and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid distinct from sweet and sour oranges. Edible Uses Fruit - raw, cooked, or preserved. A succulent, acidic-sweet pulp. A soft drink is made from the juice. Medicinal The fruit has medicinal properties. Citrus species contain a wide range of active ingredients and research is still underway in finding uses for them. They are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, acids, and volatile oils. They also contain coumarins such as bergapten which sensitizes the skin to sunlight. Bergapten is sometimes added to tanning preparations since it promotes pigmentation in the skin, though it can cause dermatitis or allergic responses in some people. Some of the plants more recent applications are as sources of anti-oxidants and chemical exfoliants in specialized cosmetics. Other Uses Essential oil is obtained from the peel of the fruit. The plant is used as a rootstock for other Citrus species.<script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2>Bladder Campion Seeds (Silene vulgaris)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 10 seeds.</h2> Silene vulgaris, the bladder campion or maidenstears,[4] is a plant species of the genus Silene of the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten but is also widespread in North America, where it is a common wildflower in meadows, open woods, and fields. <h2>Gastronomy</h2> The young shoots and the leaves may be used as food in some countries of the Mediterranean region. The tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads. The older leaves are usually eaten boiled or fried, sauteed with garlic as well as in omelets. <h3>Crete and Cyprus</h3> In Crete, it is called Agriopapoula (Αγριοπάπουλα) and the locals eat its leaves and tender shoots browned in olive oil.[7] In Cyprus, it is very widely eaten, so much that it has, in recent years, come back into being cultivated and sold in shops in bunches. Two of the common Cypriot names are Tsakrostoukkia and Strouthouthkia (στρουθούθκια). <h3>Italy</h3> In Italy the leaves of this plant may be used also as an ingredient in risotto. It is commonly known as sculpit, stridolo, or by the obsolete scientific name Silene inflata, as well as s-ciopetin, or grixol in Veneto, and nenkuz, or sclopit in Friuli. <h3>Spain (La Mancha)</h3> Formerly in La Mancha region of Spain, where Silene vulgaris leaves are valued as a green vegetable, there were people known as "collejeros" who picked these plants and sold them. Leaves are small and narrow, so it takes many plants to obtain a sizeable amount. In La Mancha the Silene vulgaris leaves, locally known as "collejas", were mainly used to prepare a dish called gazpacho viudo (widower gazpacho). The ingredients were flatbread known as tortas de gazpacho and a stew prepared with Silene vulgaris leaves.[8] Other dishes prepared with these leaves in Spain include "potaje de garbanzos y collejas", "huevos revueltos con collejas" and "arroz con collejas". <h3>Serbia</h3> In Serbia, dried flowers are used to make tea and treat women's diseases.<script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
