The listing, *~*~*~10 Grand Fir Tree Seeds~*~*~*~3 DAYS ONLY~*~*~* 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.

Questions & Comments
Original
# 12 - A fir tree has been found growing inside a man's lung by surgeons who were operating on him for suspected cancer.
The tree, measuring 5cm, was discovered by Russian doctors when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a tumour.
Medical staff believe that Mr Sidorkin somehow inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
The patient had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.
'We were 100 per cent sure,' said surgeon Vladimir Kamashev from Izhevsk in the Urals. 'We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour. I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery.'
Before removing the major part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue taken in a biopsy.
'I thought I was hallucinating,' said Dr Kamashev. 'I asked my assistant to have a look: "Come and see this - we've got a fir tree here".
'He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things.'
They believed the coughing of blood was caused by the tiny pine needles piercing blood capillaries. 'It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me,' said Mr Sidorkin. 'I'm so relieved it's not cancer.' (yes, i do have the actual picture that shows the tree in the lung but i thought it was a little too gruesome!).
