Vitus coignetiae, Bruce Riddle July 14, 2010

and the answer is….

Vitus coignetiae…or ‘Crimson Glory Vine’ according to landscape architect Bruce Riddle who emailed me yesterday while my “server” was on the blink. No newsletter.

I had a ton of emails tho from readers who got close with various parthennosis suggestions, other grapes, and a few whacky plant names I can’t pronounce. Crimson Glory Vine is the ornamental grape that turns bright red in the fall. In these parts we grow ‘Roger’s Red’. 

whatever
Mail Online—Two gorgeous crop circles at the UFO capital of Britain. The mystery though, are the people playing ‘ring around the unidentified object’.

I went to England last year and saw about 28 crop circles from the air and about 15 from the ground. I saw the straightened crop heads and expanded and exploded nodes indicating heat flattened the crop. Also it looked as though a violent and sudden but precise wind might have created the intricate weavings you can only appreciate on the ground. Doug and Dan have been dead these many years. They sure have gotten better at this since they died.
