guard it with your life and keep the location secret or it'll be gone the next time you visit the spot. :D

Yup.

We get a false ginseng here called spikenard, grows about 6 feet tall with purple stems and red berries similar to ginseng. Solomon spoke of spikenard in his biblical fantasies. The book the preacher doesn't talk about on Sunday. :D
