Overall, the period has been warm with highs in the 80s and lows around 70˚F except for a brief cool period from July 15 – July 17 when temperatures struggled to reach 70˚F and lows were in the 50s. Humidity and sunlight have been variable. During the period, less than half an inch of precipitation fell, leaving topsoil moisture very short and subsoil moisture short. The lack of precipitation is primarily being seen in landscape ornamentals and turf. Pests/Problems: Large populations of lecanium scale adults appear to have been attacked by entomopathogenic fungi and infested scales can be seen readily on branches (see image). Even with attack by entomopathogenic fungi, populations still remain high and the scale has entered the crawler stage which can now be found on the leaves of plants (see image). Areas with high populations will soon see the development of sooty mold again. Other insects or insect damage seen during the period includes: lacebugs on azalea, Andromeda, and sycamore; Japanese, Oriental, and Asiatic beetle adults on ornamentals (anecdotally, there seems to be more damage than in recent years, especially from Asiatic beetles); bark beetle damage to eastern red cedar; turpentine beetle damage to pitch pine; pine tip moth damage on pitch pine and mugo pine; Euonymus scale on Euonymus; daylily leaf miner on daylily; columbine leaf miner on columbine; spidermites on catmint and Buddleia, chilli thrips on Hydrangea; earwig damage on Buddleia and H. paniculata, and Hibiscus sawfly on hardy Hibiscus.Disease symptoms or signs observed during the period include brown rot on ornamental cherry, apple scab and cedar apple rust on crabapple, powdery mildew on flowering dogwood, anthracnose on flowering dogwood, Septoria leaf spot on red twig dogwood, anthracnose on red maple, Cercospora leaf spot on bigleaf and oak leaf Hydrangea, Iris leaf spot on bearded Iris, Macrophoma leaf spot on boxwood, Volutella blight on boxwood, tip blight on Leyland cypress, dollar spot on turf, leaf spot on river birch, and powdery mildew on the usual (Monarda, lilac, Phlox, and rose). Other issues seen during the period include girdling roots on red maple and leaf scorch on dogwoods. Purslane, prostrate spurge, and crabgrass are all thriving under the dry soil moisture conditions. Rabbits continue to be a serious issue for those with perennials and annuals. Keep yourself protected from ticks.

Unirrigated turf is burnt out and brown. A great flight of Oriental Beetles ended as suddenly as it began with ominous portent for the fall. Happily, Monarch butterflies have arrived. Great golden digger wasps and organ pipe mud dauber wasps can be seen harassing hummingbirds over the most productive flower banks.

I want to take a moment to thank them. First, I wish to thank my dissertation committee. Without their guidance, I would not have made it. Dr. McIntytre, Dr. McKenney, Dr. Young and Dr. Verble served as wise committee members, and Dr. Longing, my committee chair, for sticking with me and helping me reach my goal. To the Longing Lab members, Roberto Miranda, Wilber Gutierrez, Torie Wisenant, Shelby Chandler, Bryan Guevara, Bianca Rendon, Christopher Jewett, thank you for all the hard work. To my family, my parents, my sisters, and Balentina and Bruno: you put up with me being distracted and missing many events. Finally, and most important, to my wife, Baleshka, your love and understanding helped me through the most difficult times. Without you believing in me, I never would have made it. It is time to celebrate; you earned this degree right along with me. I am forever grateful for your patience and understanding.

  • Screen Stars by Janet Davis
    Screen Stars Use plants that have open, see-through flowers and stems as scrims and screens to bring drama to the garden. BY JANET DAVIS EYOND THE basics of designing a border with appropriate plants Bchosen for their color, height and shape, there is another more ethe- real quality common to a small roster of plants that makes them ideal for adding movement, light, and a sense of enigma to a planting scheme. These are the “see- through” or “scrim” plants. In theater parlance, a scrim is a gauzy, transparent curtain that allows the audience to see through it to a scene being played out in the background. In garden design, such plants fulfill their own roles while encouraging viewers to look through them to other plants or distant corners of the garden. They can also be used as seasonal exclamation points and to par- tially screen views—around a patio or pool, for instance—without obscuring the view completely. The best see-through plants feature tall, wiry stems topped by small or very airy, loose flowers or inflorescences that sway easily in the wind, in delicate con- trast to their more stolid neighbors. The flowers might be slender spikes that create vertical brushstrokes against background plants, bouncing balls that lend a kinetic quality to a planting scheme, or flowers Native to South Africa, wandflower or angel’s fishing rod (Dierama pulcherrimum) is a grassy- that create a hazy effect that invites a look DOREEN WYNJA looking perennial growing to six feet tall that bears drooping stems of pink flowers in summer.

Medicinal plants represent a considerable source of endophytic fungi of outstanding importance, which highlights the opportunity of identifying and screening endophytes associated with this unique group of plants, widespread in diverse locations and biotopes, in view of assessing their biotechnological potential. As the first contribution of a series of papers dedicated to the Lamiaceae, this article reviews the occurrence and properties of endophytic fungi associated with sages (Salvia spp.).

  • To PRINT Our Full Plant Catalogue
    HH Yes, that’s right, HH, not HRH. Random hieroglyphics, coded scratches? Not really. These were the initials of the maker or one of the makers of our small Byre, his sharp Carpenters chisel in hand and immortality achieved in a few swift strokes topped and bottomed with bold, crude serifs. More often seen are carved marks left on old timber framed buildings to aid their construction. The section of oak bearing these less commonly seen initials was discovered when chain sawing our mountain of discarded timber produced by the Byre build for firewood. It had come from oak timbers cut out to make the openings for Velux windows (what would HH have made of these I wonder?). It then struck me the green oak he used may have germinated in the 16C, a chance sapling left to grow in a hedgerow or light woodland and 200 years later deemed ready for felling. What an archaeological legacy then under our noses! Buildings by their nature can hold onto their marks for centuries but for gardeners using our palette of flowers, grasses and shrubs the act of leaving any permanency is virtually impossible. Have you noticed how a planting when left alone can change dramatically from one year to the next without your help? The planting of a tree is by its nature an emphatic statement, though even with a potentially longer time frame to the other plants mentioned there essentially remains no difference. Like it or not, ephemerality and impermanence go hand in hand with all the plants and gardens we create - they conform to the Buddhist precept that ‘all is transient’.
