Ms. Que Banh<p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/FoliageFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoliageFriday</span></a></p><p>Although I've always loved the beautiful foliage of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/JapaneseBarberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JapaneseBarberry</span></a> shrubs, we've avoided adding any to our own gardens. They're highly invasive if not heavily controlled. Japanese barberry provides prime environments for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ticks</span></a> to breed due to the high humidity in barberry's dense foliage. It's believed that spread of barberry is correlated with the spread of&nbsp;<a href="https://beige.party/tags/LymeDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LymeDisease</span></a>.</p><p>I really wish stores/nurseries that sell plants would inform customers on problematic ones so folks can make more informed decisions. Many uninformed customers often buy Japanese barberry shrubs because they're deer resistant &amp; visually appealing. I suggest avoiding it. It's been banned for sale in some USA states.<br>Just admire the shrubs in public cultivated gardens - don't grow them.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/foliage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foliage</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/leaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leaves</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Summer</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/botanical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>botanical</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/shrubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shrubs</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saanich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Saanich</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VictoriaBC</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YYJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YYJ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VancouverIsland</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VanIsle</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PacificNorthwest</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cascadia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PNW</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Zone8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zone8</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvasivePlants</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/burgundy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>burgundy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/landscaping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>landscaping</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DeerResistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeerResistant</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>So yeah. Someone here asked me for advice on something that they suspected was Lyme Disease, but was blown off as "poison ivy" by a physician. After looking at photos of what I recognized as a Lyme circle and asking about specific symptoms, I suggested they consult another physician and get a test. It turns out that Lyme was an issue. When in doubt, don't mess around! Physicians today are encouraged for quantity not quality and might miss symptoms!
