It was sunny and hot, with a temperature of 28°C. We drove first into Calvi, to allow a brief exploration of the town and to buy provisions for our lunches. The first butterfly we saw was a Geranium Bronze, on some Pelargoniums, a new record for us, in Corsica. We travelled south, through the maquis-covered hills, crossed the dried-up Fango river and stopped by the rocky coastline, just north of Galeria, for lunch. Plants of interest, in the vicinity, included the yellow-flowered Stink Aster Dittrichia viscosa, the familiar Curry Plant Helichrysum italicum, and a robust glaucous-leaved spurge Euphorbia pithyusa subsp. pithyusa. On the rocks, by the shore, were two of the islands rare endemics, the pink Corsican Stork’s-bill Erodium corsicum and the intricately-branched sea lavender Limonium corsicum. Our first lizard was the endemic Tyrrhenian Wall Lizard, the commonest species on the island. We headed south, on the narrow winding road, stopping next at the Col de Palmarella, to enjoy the views over the Golfe de Girolata and the rugged headland of Scandola. Just before reaching Porto, we entered some very dramatic scenery of red granite cliffs and made another stop, to have a closer look at the plants and enjoy the view.

  • Marion Garden Rose Garden
    Marion Garden Rose Garden The Rose Garden is a work in constant change to demonstrate how to grow and maintain a variety of roses that are suitable for home gardens in the Willamette Valley. Selection of plants has been based on suitability for landscape use, resistance to disease, repeat blooming, and availability to the home gardener. If we find that a rose bush has a lot of disease problems or does not bloom well it is removed. The visitor will find mostly hybrid teas but also floribundas, grandifloras, shrub roses and an English (Austin) rose. There is also one upright climbing rose named ‘Antique’. Two clematis vines (Viola and Asso) have been planted on either side of the climbing rose trellis. Clematis are a good compliment to large climbing roses and add interest and color to the garden. All the rose bushes have ID tags which include the name of the rose, type, any awards it has received, name of the hybridizer, and the year the rose was introduced. There are a couple of roses that do not have ID tags because they were donated and names were not known. They are good disease resistant plants with a good bloom habit so are used for cuttings for rose propagation workshops. There is also a Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle, January jasmine, or Chinese honeysuckle) growing on the northwest corner of the rose garden. It has fragrant white flowers in January and February. It was there when this garden was started and is a nice shrub for the home garden. It is pruned in the spring after it finishes blooming.

  • Overview of the Dynamic Role of Specialty Cut Flowers in the International Cut Flower Market
    horticulturae Review Overview of the Dynamic Role of Specialty Cut Flowers in the International Cut Flower Market Anastasios Darras Laboratory of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Department of Agriculture, University of Peloponnese, 24100 Kalamata, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-27210-45199 Abstract: The global cut flower industry has faced serious challenges over the years, but still remains an important sector of agriculture. Floriculture businesses seek new, innovative trends and niches to help increase product sales. Specialty cut flower (SCF) production has increased in the past 20 years in the US, Australia, Africa, and Europe. SCF production and sales could increase further if these new products were supported by dynamic marketing campaigns that focus on their strengths compared to the traditional cut flowers (TCF) such as roses, carnations, gerberas, and chrysanthemums. The major strength of SCF is the eco-friendly profile, which is associated to low CO2 footprints and environmental outputs. This contrasts TCF cultivation, which is associated to high energy inputs, especially at the traditional production centres (e.g., The Netherlands). It is suggested that environmental legislations, production costs, and customer demand for eco-friendly products will positively affect future SCF cultivation and sale.

  • Floral Structure and Dynamics of Nectar Production in Echinacea Pallida Var
    Int. J. Plant Sci. 169(6):708–722. 2008. Ó 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2008/16906-0002$15.00 DOI: 10.1086/533602 FLORAL STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF NECTAR PRODUCTION IN ECHINACEA PALLIDA VAR. ANGUSTIFOLIA (ASTERACEAE) Tyler J. Wist and Arthur R. Davis1 Department of Biology, University of Saskatchewan, 112 Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5E2, Canada The reproductive structure of the disk florets of Echinacea pallida var. angustifolia (Asteraceae) in relation to insect pollination was investigated using light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. The study of this self-incompatible species emphasized pollen production, pollen-stigma interactions, transmitting tissue, and vasculature within the style. Nectary structure and nectar production dynamics were also examined. Produced in the fused anther tubes, the trinucleate pollen with yellow pollenkitt was plentiful per floret, yielding a pollen : ovule ratio of 24,130. Encircling the style base at the ovary summit, the floral nectary pos- sessed modified stomata whose pores, as well as nonstomatal gaps in the epidermis, provided apoplastic pathways for nectar escape and reabsorption. Phloem alone supplied the gland interior, the sieve element– companion cell complexes reaching up to the nectary epidermis. Nectar was hexose dominant, its volume and nectar-sugar quantity per floret peaking on the afternoon of the first day of anthesis until the morning of the second day. Nectar production only occurred in half of the florets for 3 d, rarely for 5 d. Potential honey production from fields of this species was estimated at 2.1–11.9 kg/ha. Keywords: floral nectar, nectary, pollen-stigma interactions, pollination, style.

    United States Department of Agriculture NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Plant Materials Technical Note No. MT-103 September 2014 PLANT MATERIALS TECHNICAL NOTE WESTERN YARROW Achillea millefolium var. occidentalis A Native Forb for Conservation Use in Montana and Wyoming Susan R. Winslow, Agronomist, NRCS Plant Materials Center, Bridger, Montana Western yarrow flowers General Description Western yarrow is a native, herbaceous perennial in the Aster Family. It is a very common wildflower that grows erect from creeping rootstocks, to a height mostly 10 to 36 inches tall. The leaves of western yarrow are lacy and fern-like in appearance. They are finely dissected into numerous, short and narrow divisions not over 0.04 inch wide--millefolium is derived from the Latin roots mill(i) meaning one thousand and foli(um) meaning a leaf. The basal foliage is up to 10 inches long, with leaves along the flowering stalk longest at the base and progressively shorter up the stem. The entire plant is densely covered in long, soft, woolly hairs. Western yarrow has a very distinctive aroma, similar to chamomile (Anthemis) or dog fennel (Dysodiopsis), and is especially noticeable, when crushed. The somewhat rounded terminal clusters of flower heads are normally white to pale pink in color and have an extended bloom period from May to September. The extremely small fruit is a whitish, flattened achene, with compressed margins that are grayish in color. There is considerable variation within native populations across the United States with up to seven varieties recognized by taxonomists. Western yarrow should not be confused with the introduced, invasive species, common yarrow Achillea millefolium.
