The listing, *~*~*~10 Grand Fir Tree Seeds~*~*~* has ended.
The grand fir is one of the tallest firs, reaching heights of 300 feet. The pollen strobili are yellowish and the cones are yellowish-green to green, cylindrical, erect, 2 to 4 inches long, occur high in the crowns and dissipate in the fall to release their seeds. It produces a beautiful, thick foliaged tree when sheared and is known for its strong fragrance.

# 11 - Wood Rose is another Magickal item blanketed in mystique that is actually a common botanical in many areas. Amphigory.com states: " Wood Rose gives great occult power to anyone who owns one." They charge $8.00 a piece for them. I can thank LadyDragon for playing sleuth on this one. She and I were discussing "what exactly IS a Wood Rose???" I sure as heck had never seen one. Well, I ordered two (expensive learning experience) and when LD saw them she cracked up. It turns out the Wood Rose is simply the tip of the pine cone of the Grand Fir Tree.
