What new discoveries will be made during autumn Bioblitz? In May 2010, more than 100 university students, community members and professionals participated in Seattle’s first Bioblitz. Now it’s time to scrutinize Washington Park Arboretum’s nooks and crannies once again. Whatever your level of expertise (or non‐expertise!), you’re invited to jump in any time during the 24‐hour period from 3:00 PM Sept. 23 to 3:00 PM Sept. 24. During the second annual Bioblitz, each team will be assigned a 2‐ to 3‐hour shift, location, taxa group and specialist. The goal is to catalogue every living thing. The first Bioblitz turned up some fascinating discoveries, including what’s likely a new spider species and a couple of unexpected plants displaying suspicious behavior. So why do it again? Education Supervisor Patrick Mulligan puts it this way: “Going out into the field and collecting data on a single day is like taking a snapshot; it gives you some idea of what’s going on. Going out and collecting data year after year is like making a movie, and it gives you a much fuller picture of what’s going on.” Want to make a movie? Call 206‐ 543‐8801 or email.

Plant Profile: Eucomis bicolor [by Soest Gardener Riz Reyes] Pineapple lilies are gaining popularity as gardeners are finally giving them a chance! Though somewhat marginally hardy and very tropical in appearance, a handful of species and hybrids do quite well here in the Pacific Northwest as long as they receive excellent drainage (especially during the winter) and regular watering during the growing season. Eucomis bicolor is one of the more common and sought after species as it truly showcases why this genus is known as “pineapple lily.” Common Name: Pineapple lily Family: Asparagaceae Location: Soest Garden Bed 8 http://depts.washington.edu/uwbg/about/eflora/EFlora_Aug11.html 2/4 4/3/2015 University of Washington ­ College of the Environment: Email ­ August Origin: South Africa Height: 12‐15″ Spread: Can form a clump 2‐3 feet wide after many years. Bloom Time: Late July‐August Bloom Type/Color: Cylindrical raceme on stout stems with cream white florets streaked in purple and unpleasantly scented observed up close. Green bracts on top create a “pineapple” look. Exposure/Water/Soil: Full sun/part shade in well‐drained soil. Regular irrigation. View additional photos in the complete plant profile. twigs . The uppermost image in UW Botanic Gardens’ new profile picture on Facebook is a beautiful photograph taken in Washington Park Arboretum.

Or be ready for anything during the 1:00 PM tour. The morning tour theme switches to Sorbus and Ash for the Sept. 4 and 18 tours. All walks meet at the Graham Visitors Center. A recent “garden bloggers’ fling” attracted 70 garden bloggers to Seattle from across the US, Canada and the United Kingdom. One stop was the Center for Urban Horticulture, where Soest Gardener Riz Reyes showed them around the gardens, and the Miller Library was found “drool­worthy.” Lynden B. Miller (pictured at right) believes that public open spaces with well‐designed and maintained plantings can change city life. She has designed gardens for The New York Botanical Garden, The Central Park Zoo, Madison Square Park and many other public places. She'll speak at the 16th Annual Elisabeth C. Miller Memorial Lecture Sept. 15 at 7:00 PM in UW's Meany Hall. Last month, the Vendor Showcase at the Center for Urban Horticulture featured one glorious presentation after another, exquisitely photographed by Lauren Kahan Photography.

  • Eucomis Bicolor Baker) an Ornamental and Medicinal Plant
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 110 (2018) 159-171 EISSN 2392-2192 Chitosan improves growth and bulb yield of pineapple lily (Eucomis bicolor Baker) an ornamental and medicinal plant Andżelika Byczyńska Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Environmental Management and Agriculture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The wide demand for natural biostimulants encourages the search for new, alternative sources of substances with high biological activity. Chitosan can promote plant growth and root system development, enhance photosynthetic activity, increase nutrient and metabolite content. Eucomis bicolor, commonly known as the ‘pineapple lily’, is not widely known in terms of cultivation and biological activity. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of chitosan on growth of Eucomis bicolor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the effect of chitosan on morphological features of Eucomis bicolor. The results showed that soaking Eucomis bicolor bulbs in a chitosan solution before planting has stimulated the growth, flowering and yield of bulbs. Treating the plants with chitosan at 50 mg/L had the most beneficial effect on the number of leaves per plant, the relative chlorophyll content in the leaves as well as the number of bulbs per plant. Chitosan has a multi-directional, positive effect on plant growth and can be used as a potential biostimulant.

  • Evaluation of Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum and Depolymerized Chitosan Based Coatings for Pineapple Lily Plant Production
    horticulturae Communication Evaluation of Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum and Depolymerized Chitosan Based Coatings for Pineapple Lily Plant Production Piotr Salachna * and Anna Pietrak Department of Horticulture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, 3 Papieza˙ Pawła VI Str., 71-459 Szczecin, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-91-449-6359 Abstract: Some natural polysaccharides and their derivatives are used in horticulture to stimulate plant growth. This study investigated the effects of coating bulbs with carrageenan-depolymerized chitosan (C-DCh) or xanthan-depolymerized chitosan (X-DCh) on growth, flowering, and bulb yield as well as physiological and biochemical attributes of pineapple lily (Eucomis autumnalis). The results showed that treatment with C-DCh or X-DCh significantly increased all growth parameters, bulb yield, greenness index, stomatal conductance, total N, total K, and total sugar content of bulbs and accelerated anthesis as compared with untreated bulbs. The positive impact of coatings on plant growth and physiological attributes depended on the type of biopolymer complexes. The X-DCh treatment exhibited the greatest plant height, fresh weight, daughter bulb number, greenness index, stomatal conductance, total N, K, and sugar content. However, this treatment induced a significant decrease in L-ascorbic acid, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Overall, the results of this study indicated high suitability of C-DCh and X-DCh as bulb coatings for pineapple lily plant production. Citation: Salachna, P.; Pietrak, A.

  • The Potential of South African Indigenous Plants for the International Cut flower Trade ⁎ E.Y
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 77 (2011) 934–946 www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb The potential of South African indigenous plants for the international cut flower trade ⁎ E.Y. Reinten a, J.H. Coetzee b, B.-E. van Wyk c, a Department of Agronomy, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag, Matieland 7606, South Africa b P.O. Box 2086, Dennesig 7601, South Africa c Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa Abstract A broad review is presented of recent developments in the commercialization of southern Africa indigenous flora for the cut flower trade, in- cluding potted flowers and foliages (“greens”). The botany, horticultural traits and potential for commercialization of several indigenous plants have been reported in several publications. The contribution of species indigenous and/or endemic to southern Africa in the development of cut flower crop plants is widely acknowledged. These include what is known in the trade as gladiolus, freesia, gerbera, ornithogalum, clivia, agapan- thus, strelitzia, plumbago and protea. Despite the wealth of South African flower bulb species, relatively few have become commercially important in the international bulb industry. Trade figures on the international markets also reflect the importance of a few species of southern African origin. The development of new research tools are contributing to the commercialization of South African plants, although propagation, cultivation and post-harvest handling need to be improved. A list of commercially relevant southern African cut flowers (including those used for fresh flowers, dried flowers, foliage and potted flowers) is presented, together with a subjective evaluation of several genera and species with perceived potential for the development of new crops for the florist trade.
