  • Flower Colors of Hardy Hybrid Rhododendrons
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the , BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 9 JULY 1, 1949 NUMBERS 7-8 FLOWER COLORS OF HARDY HYBRID RHODODENDRONS hybrid broad-leaved evergreen rhododendrons are most conspicuous dur- THEing early June. If grown in fertile, acid soil, mulched properly and pruned properly (see ARNOLDIA, Vol. 8, No. 8, September, 1948) they should pro- duce a bright display of flowers annually. The collection in the Arnold Arbore- tum is over fifty years old and has been added to continually from year to year. Rhododendron enthusiasts are continually studying this collection, noting the differences between the many varieties now being grown. Not all that are avail- able in the eastern United States nurseries are here, but many are, and it serves a valuable purpose, at the same time making a splendid display. It is most difficult to properly identify the many hardy rhododendron hybrids. The species are of course keyed out in standard botanical keys, but there is little easily available information about the identification of hybrids grown in the East. There are no colored pictures or paintings sufficiently accurate for this purpose, nor are there suitable descriptions of the flower colors. Articles for popular peri- odicals are numerous, but color descriptions in these are entirely too general. The term "crimson flowers" may cover a dozen or more varieties, each one of which does differ slightly from the others. Size of truss, of flower, markings on corolla and even the color of the stamens and pistils are all aides in identification. Consequently, we have started an attempt at the proper description of hybrid varieties, growing in our collection, by the careful comparison of colors of the flowers as they bloomed this year, with the colors of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Colour Chart.

  • History and Cultivation of Parma Violets (Viola, Violaceae) in the United Kingdom and France in the Nineteenth Century
    History AND Cultivation OF PARMA VIOLETS (VIOLA, VIOLACEAE) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FRANCE IN THE NINETEENTH Century LUÍS MENDONÇA DE CARVALHO,1,2 FRANCISCA MARIA FERNANDES,3 MARIA DE FÁTIMA NUNES,3 JOÃO BRIGOLA,3 NATHALIE CASBAS,4 AND CLIVE GROVES5 Abstract. Scented cultivars of Parma violets were among the most important urban plants during the nineteenth century, with many references in literature, fashion, art and flower trade. Our research analyzed data related to Parma violets in France and in the United Kingdom and presents the cultivars introduced during the nineteenth century. Keywords: Parma violets, Viola cultivars, United Kingdom, France, social history The first records describing the use of violets origin. Earlier Italian literature from the XVI (Viola L., Violaceae) in Europe are from Ancient century refers to violets with a strong fragrance Greece: fragrant violets were sold in the and pleiomerous flowers that were obtained Athenian agora; praised by Greek poets, as in the from the East, near the city of Constantinople writings of Sappho (Jesus, 2009); used in (now Istanbul), capital of the former Byzantine medicine (Theophrastus, 1916); had an active role Empire. These texts describe violets that looked in myths, such as in the abduction of Persephone like roses, probably referring to ancestral plants (Ovid, 1955; Grimal, 1996); were used in gar- of the contemporary Parma violets (Malécot et lands (Goody, 1993) and present in the Odyssey’s al., 2007). In Naples (Italy), a local tradition garden of Calypso (Homer, 2003). They proposes that these violets came from Portugal, continued to be used throughout the Middle Ages brought by the Bourbon royal family during the and were present in Renaissance herbals (Cleene XVIII century; hence the local name Violetta and Lejeune, 2002).

    Family Asteraceae Family: Asteraceae Spotted Knapweed Centaurea biebersteinii DC. Synonyms Acosta maculosa auct. non Holub, Centaurea maculosa auct. non Lam. Related Species Russian Knapweed Acroptilon repens (L.) DC. Description Spotted knapweed is a biennial to short-lived perennial plant. Seedling cotyledons are ovate, with the first leaves lance-shaped, undivided, and hairless. (Young seedlings can appear grass-like.) Stems grow 1 to 4 feet tall, and are many-branched, with a single flower at the end of each branch. Rosette leaves are indented or divided Old XID Services photo by Richard about half-way to the midrib. Stem leaves are alternate, pinnately divided, Spotted knapweed flower. and get increasingly smaller toward the tip of each branch. Flower heads are urn-shaped, up to 1 inch wide, and composed of pink, purple, or sometimes white disk flowers. A key characteristic of spotted knap- weed is the dark comb-like fringe on the tips of the bracts, found just below the flower petals. These dark-tipped bracts give this plant its “spotted” appearance. Russian knapweed is a creeping perennial plant that is extensively branched, with solitary urn-shaped pink or purple flower heads at the end of each branch. Similar in appearance to spotted knapweed, Russian knapweed can be distinguished by its slightly smaller flower heads, flower head bracts covered in light hairs, with papery tips, and scaly dark brown or black rhizomes, which have a burnt appearance. Family: Asteraceae Spotted Knapweed Leaves and stems of both spotted and Russian knapweeds are covered in fine hairs, giving the plants a grayish cast.

  • Chrysanthemum
    Plant of the Week Chrysanthemum Mother’s Day is celebrated in Australia on the second Sunday in May. For most of the early years of the last century, it was seen as a day on which “Mum” had a day off work, to be thoroughly spoiled by husband and children. Breakfast in bed was usually followed by attendance at church, with all wearing white flowers, often Gardenias. Later, Chrysanthemums became a popular Mother’s Day gift. Sellers of Chrysanthemum flowers, known as the “bucket brigade”, could be found on every street corner and every lay by for miles around Sydney. The current concept that an expensive gift must be bought for mother on Mother’s Day has evolved in relatively recent years, a devious marketing ploy to which most of us have succumbed! Prior to the establishment of Macquarie University, the land which is now campus, was farmed by (mostly) Italian market gardeners. In addition to fruit, and vegetables, they grew flowers, including Chrysanthemums for the Sydney flower market. Later, on the site now occupied by MGSM, groundsman David Melville grew flowers, including Chrysanthemums, for university administrative offices and library. jú huā The Chrysanthemum (菊花) has great significance in Chinese culture where it is known, together with orchid, bamboo and plum blossom, as one of the “Four Gentlemen” 四君子(Si Jun Zi)2. Chrysanthemum is first recorded in Chinese literature in the 7th Century BC when the yellow flowers were used in Chinese traditional medicine. Drinking Chrysanthemum tea was seen to promote longevity, perhaps even immortality. The Chrysanthemum is also considered to symbolise the Confucian scholar.

  • 2020 Appendixes
    Forcing Bulbs to Bloom in Winter A wonderful way to bring a bit of spring into your home In the dead of winter, spring blooming bulbs are especially welcome in the house. They fill any room with lively color (and maybe scent) and remind us that spring is just around the corner. Narcissus Forcing Narcissus in Water: • Place bulbs in a shallow bowl filled with gravel; mound gravel around sides of bulbs. • Add water so it barely touches bulbs. • Place bowl in a cool, dark location. • When roots start to grow, keep water below bulbs. • When top growth grows, move bowl to bright light but out of direct sunlight. • Bulbs bloom in about 6 weeks. Narcissus also grow well in vases with just water. Bulbs should be firm, without soft spots or scars. Bulbs with two "noses", or tips, will produce two stems. Forcing Narcissus in Soil: • Choose a wide pot about 6” deep with drainage holes in the bottom. Fill the pot loosely with potting mix. Set bulbs side by side, close but not touching, pointed end up, so that the tips are even with the pot rim. Do not press the bulbs into the mix. It should be loose to allow the roots to grow through it easily. Cover with additional potting mix, so the noses are barely covered. • Water thoroughly and empty drainage tray. • Daffodils need a cold treatment for 8-10 weeks. If you pre-chilled bulbs, you can skip this step. Move pot to a dark, cool (40-45°F) location such as a basement, unheated garage or refrigerator.

  • (Glebionis Carinatum) and Crown Daisy (G. Coronaria) Using Ovule Culture
    Plant Biotechnology 25, 535–539 (2008) Original Paper Intergeneric hybridization of marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens) with annual chrysanthemum (Glebionis carinatum) Special Issue and crown daisy (G. coronaria) using ovule culture Hisao Ohtsuka1,*, Zentaro Inaba2 1 Shizuoka Research Institute of Agriculture and Forestry, Iwata, Shizuoka 438-0803, Japan; 2 Shizuoka Research Institute of Agriculture and Forestry/Izu Agricultural Research Center, Higashiizu, Shizuoka 413-0411, Japan * E-mail: [email protected] Tel: ϩ81-538-36-1553 Fax: ϩ81-538-37-8466 Received August 20, 2008; accepted November 10, 2008 (Edited by T. Handa) Abstract To diversify flower color and growth habit of marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens), intergeneric crossing was carried out using marguerite as the seed parent and annual chrysanthemum (Glebionis carinatum) or crown daisy (G. coronaria) as the pollen parent. After cross-pollination, seedlings were successfully obtained by applying ovule culture. Ovule culture-derived plants showed novel characteristics in flower shape and color (orange, reddish brown, or wisteria pink) that are not observed in marguerite. Some also showed novel flowering habits such as perpetual flowering. The results indicate that these ovule culture-derived plants were intergeneric hybrids and that the hybrids obtained in the present study may be useful for further breeding of marguerite, especially for introducing valuable characteristics such as a wide range of flower color. Key words: Argyranthemum, Glebionis, intergeneric hybridization, ovule culture. Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens) is a perennial germplasm for the breeding of marguerite, but most of plant native to the Canary Islands, Spain (Bramwell et them have white flowers and diversity in flower color and al. 2001) and Madeira, Portugal (Press et al.
