  • Indoor Plants Or Houseplants
    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Indoor Plants or Houseplants Over the past twenty years houseplants have grown in popularity. Offered in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors and textures, houseplants beautify our homes and help soften our environment. They have been scientifically proven to improve our health by lowering blood pressure and removing pollutants from the air we breathe. When selecting a houseplant, choose reputable suppliers who specialize in growing houseplants. Get off to a good start by thoroughly examining each plant. Watch for brown edges and spindly growth with elongated stems and large gaps between new leaves. Inspect leaves and stem junctions for signs of insect or disease problems. Check any support stakes to make sure they are not hiding broken stems or branches. Finally, make sure the plant is placed in an area that suits its optimal requirements for light, temperature and humidity. Where to Place Your House Plants With the exception of the very darkest areas, you can always find a houseplant with growth requirements to match the environmental conditions in your home. The most important factors are light intensity and duration. The best way to determine the intensity of light at a window exposure area is to measure it with a light meter. A light meter measures light in units called foot-candles. One foot-candle is the amount of light from a candle spread over a square foot of surface area. Plants that prefer low light may produce dull, lifeless-looking leaves when exposed to bright light. Bright light can also cause leaf spots or brown-tipped scorched margins.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION of SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By
    COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By TODD JASON CAVINS Bachelor of Science Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, Oklahoma 1997 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December, 1999 COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS Thesis Approved: ' 1 Thesis Advisor .. ;.; ,, ( Dean of the Graduate College 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The purpose of this study was to improve production methods of various specialty cut flower species. Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

  • Narcissus Juncifolius
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Narcissus juncifolius Annex V Priority No Species group Vascular plants Regions Alpine, Atlantic, Mediterranean Narcissus juncifolius is endemic to France, occuring in Alpine, Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. The taxonomy of this taxon is not clear. According to the information on the IUCN red list website the synonym species Narcissus assoanus ssp. praelongus is present in Spain. However, Spain did not report the species. In the IUCN red list the species is assessed as Least Concern (LC) with stable population trend. It is not assessed in the French red list (2012). The overall conclusion in the Alpine region is "Unfavorable Inadequate" due to a negative population trend. It occurs with a population of 1000-5000 individuals. The main distribution area of Narcissus juncifolius is in the Mediterranean region of France. However, the population is "Unknown", but assessed as "Favorable". As in the previous report, the conservation status is "Favorable" in all components. In the French Atlantic region is assessed as "Favorable" in all components (reported for the first time). The species occurs with a population of 10000-50000 individuals Main threats (mainly low rank) are grazing, cultivation, urbanisation, modification of cultural practices and mining. No changes in overall conservation status between 2001-06 and 2007-12 reports in Alpine and Mediterranean region. The species was not reported
