I have all my plants on my coffee table because my coworker is watering them for me while I’m gone and I wanted to make it easy for her so now that I’m all packed up I’m watching star trek with my laptop in a little forest :)
Cutting (by: Garden of Eve)
This is a loosestrife (lythrum) that a friend gave me as a little cutting. It is super easy to root and grows great. I have the pot submerged in my pond. The butterflies love it.
Mesmo depois de transar com todos aqueles homens vestir todas aquelas fantasias, as langeris,beijar todas aquelas bocas eu ainda ainda quero desesperadamente a sua , quero seu copo seu cheiro quero você.
Correndo em busca do vento porque afinal não encontrei nenhum que seja como ,ou pelo menos um pouco parecidos com você, me pergunto constatimente cada você, por onde anda quando vamos ter replay .
Porém o vento se foi com seus lábios ,com nosso pequeno infinito nosso pra sempre , Se foram é ainda estou correndo em busca do nosso talvez na nossa vírgula.
Eu tentei ,juro que tentei , te esquecer colocar o ponto final é não consegui eu ...eu , eu ainda te amo .
...

I love that two of my hydrangea bushes have blue and pink flowers (and a mix!)

Abstract: The increasing resistance of the malaria parasite to currently used antimalarial medicines has intensified the research for new novel antimalarial drug leads from natural sources. This study was carried out to evaluate the antiplasmodial potential, phytochemical composition and toxicity status of aqueous root extract of Alstoniaboonei (Apocynaceae), a medicinal plant used in treating malaria in Nigeria and other African countries. The extract showed substantial dose dependent antiplasmodial activity as indicated by the, suppressive (40.18%, 55.72% and 61.55% for 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1 body weights), prophylactic (51.39%, 65.27% and 68.35% for 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1 body weights), and curative (48.63%, 59.59% and 60.88% for 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1 body weights) effects on Plasmodium berghei infected albino mice. The antiplasmodial activity was significantly different compared to the negative control at P < 0.05.Chemical compounds obtained from the phytochemical evaluation of the extract include tannins, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides and terpenoids. There were no observed signs of toxicity in all the oral doses tested on albino mice. It was concluded that the extract contains important active antimalarial compounds that are not toxic and should be further investigated for antimalarial drug development.

1.INTRODUCTION
The utilization of plants against diseases is believed to be derived from the chemicals available in them. Many modern medicines are derived from plants that have been used by traditional medical practitioners. Alstonia boonei is one of the many medicinal plants found in Nigeria and other African countries. The plant parts have been traditionally used to treat various ailments including malaria (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Various chemical constituents have been isolated from A. boonei,and some of them have been found to possess a range of pharmacological activities including antimalarial activities (6, 7, 8).

Abstract: Hasty urban improvement and agglomeration with their connected anthropogenic actions have a tendency to be associated with demolition of urban planted trees, hitherto the available trees and greenery zones plays significant role in the environment. The recent study assessed urban trees benefits and demolition causes in Nigeria garden city of Port Harcourt, capital of rivers state with possible replication in other cities in Nigeria. Primary and secondary data sources were used whereas the former sources include designed questionnaire and conversation survey, the later sources comprise of related literature. The data was analysed using accurate percentage, mean, standard deviation and regression. The findings showed that unplanned urban areas (t = 11.240) , hasty urban development (t = 7.786), poor tree planting consciousness (t = 7.738), non-enforcement of urban trees laws (t = 3.432), fetching of fossil fuel and lumbering actions (t =2.991). Also considered are hasty urban development (t = 7.786), poor tree planting consciousness (t = 7.738), non-enforcement of urban trees laws (t = 3.432), fossil fuel and lumbering actions (t =2.991) exist as the major causes or reason behind the illegitimate loss of urban trees. The result lay forward that significant variation exists among the urban land uses that effect loss of urban greenery at F = 29.483, P<0.001. The result rated protection from sum ray, air pollution prevention, preventing the city from heat; physical aesthetics, comfort and quality environ etc. are the environmental benefit of the available natural and urban planted trees in Nigeria. They accounted for 85.99 percent of positive benefits experienced in the city. The study recommends among others for the formulation of the appropriate policies in this direction, government through relevant authorities such as urban planning and other environmental protection agency should monitor and enforce relevant regulations on trees planted to protect the urban environment.

INTRODUCTION
The development and maintenance of green plants within and around layout of an urban settlement involves planning, environmental management, monetary and statutory commitment that, in utmost conditions, will keep on improving the superiority of urban areas, including the aesthetics and protections that balanced its ecological system. Investing on tree planting and reservation of forestry in urban communities can show case countless arrangement about the social, economic, physical and environmental importance of various land uses of the cities. Moreover, the protection and undying importance that tress and forest have in urban and suburb centres balance the appreciative reasons behind urban planning globally.
