Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Penny can I send you what I think is a Nettle, in a envelope-would it be unrecognizable to you when you got it? I'm in Okeechobee. If I am wrong or right, I want to know it. Elaine - Penny Khaled herbal remedies Thursday, February 01, 2001 3:34 PM [herbal remedies] Stinging Nettle?

I guess there are more > varieties that I knew of Thank You Sorcy but definitely not henbane (I just looked it up) the leaves are completely different. The leaves of what I have look exactly like the pictures of stinging nettle... it's the size/shape of the plant itself that's confusing me. I guess I'll just have to let them grow to find out Thanks for the effort though Dena, wishing someone lived near me that could just SHOW ME out whats what!
