Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic hiccup sound.
Deer Resistant? I've seen peonies on several lists of deer-resistant plants. Please share your experience with whether or not the deer leave your peonies alone. We're thinking of putting some in our back yard which does get some deer traffic (we use several products to try to keep them off our plants). Peonies are my husband's favorite flower.
DriftÂ® Groundcover Roses. DriftÂ® Roses are a cross between full-size groundcover roses and miniatures. From the groundcover roses they kept toughness, disease resistance and winter hardiness.From the miniatures, they inherited a well-managed size and repeat-blooming nature.riftÂ® Roses are low maintenance and will reward you with endless color all season long. They require no special care, but for best performance, we recommend cutting them back every year in early spring after the last threat of frost has passed.
