I don't think we have Bittersweet here in the mountains so I thoroughly enjoyed seeing yours :)<br /><br />Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog this morning - you are such a dear.

Do you remember the name of the book? I would love to find a copy!<br /><br />Some of the faux bittersweet is pretty realistic-looking. And it doesn't shed!<br /><br />Goldenrod ... yep, we have it here too!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-72675709437634331242016-10-04T09:35:51.134-04:002016-10-04T09:35:51.134-04:00No, I do not have my own bittersweet.

It's right beside the road but apparently no one else has noticed! It's on my uncle's property so I feel pretty safe cutting it.<br /><br />I'm with you, I wouldn't dare plant any. Even though our soil here isn't the best, a couple of things people told me "would spread" did, and became a nuisance -- periwinkle and jewelweed.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-1770502024472832912016-10-04T09:32:27.770-04:002016-10-04T09:32:27.770-04:00We have goldenrod here too, Arlene, as well as rag...We have goldenrod here too, Arlene, as well as ragweed which I am told blooms around the same time. And that either one can make people miserable!<br /><br />Wonder what those fall-blooming red flowers are?Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-94320572757558592016-10-04T09:08:49.217-04:002016-10-04T09:08:49.217-04:00I don't think I have ever seen bittersweet in ...I don't think I have ever seen bittersweet in person. The reason I know about it is there was a book I always read my students around Thanksgiving. IT was set in Nebraska and the time was Thanksgiving and the girls were collecting bittersweet for their Thanksgiving bouquets. I love it though. Mine would have to be the fake kind at Hobby Lobby. Arlene is right...we have goldenrods which are beautiful but get the sinuses all out of whack.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-66368055876676480192016-10-04T08:24:36.082-04:002016-10-04T08:24:36.082-04:00I must go check my bittersweet source...it's h...I must go check my bittersweet source...it's highly secret you know! I almost do it under cover of darkness. Do you have your own bittersweet? I have considered it, but I am afraid that it would take over my small lot in short order so I have nixed the idea. I do love bittersweet, though!

I...I do not think I have seen any Bittersweet here. I could be wrong but the only blooming thing right now is Goldenrod which is causing much sneezing and itchy eyes to those that are allergic to it. I have seen some of the pretty red flowers that bloom in the fall. They look rather like red spiders and they grow from bulbs. They are always a sure sign of fall in the south.Arlene Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845514896764280013noreply@blogger.com
