Native Plantings for Beneficial Insects and Pollinators
NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES provide ecological support to fruit and vegetable growers by increasing the number and diversity of beneficial insects and pollinators. This guide provides a recommended species list and methodology for establishing a native planting on Indiana small farms and gardens. These species are found to be especially productive in providing habitat for pollinators and for beneficial insects that suppress crop pests. Native plantings can be beautiful, but their benefits go far beyond aesthetics. Beneficial insects include, but are not limited to, soldier beetles, predatory wasps, tachinid flies, and an assortment of bees. Providing habitat in close proximity to crop production can have an impact on aphids, colorado potato beetles, and other pests through predation and parasitoidism. NATIVE PLANTINGS FOR BENEFICIAL INSECTS & POLLINATORS This publication was funded through the Indiana State Department of Agriculture’s Clean TOP: Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth on Bergamot Water Indiana program with technical contributions from Kevin Tungesvick.

Carica papaya ● Water Science & Plants Protecting Endangered Plant Species Sweetwater slope: Bill and Pam Anderson To date, a total of 117 listed taxa have been recorded in 26 panhandle parks, making these parks a key resource for the protection of endangered plant species. 4 ● The Palmetto Volume 28:1 ● Winter/Spring 2011 in Panhandle State Parks by Gil Nelson and Tova Spector The Florida Panhandle is well known for its natural endowments, chief among which are its botanical and ecological diversity. Approximately 242 sensitive plant taxa occur in the 21 counties west of the Suwannee River. These include 15 taxa listed as endangered or threatened by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 212 listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Florida, 191 tracked by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, 52 candidates for federal listing, and 7 categorized by the state as commercially exploited. Since the conservation of threatened and endangered plant species depends largely on effective management of protected populations, the occurrence of such plants on publicly or privately owned conservation lands, coupled with institutional knowledge of their location and extent is essential.

Perennials in the Landscape
Perennials in the Landscape Home gardeners and commercial landscapers alike are becoming more aware of the rich potential hardy herbaceous perennials have to offer. Perennials just may be the most overlooked group of landscaping plants in our area, and for no good reason. They offer a certain permanency to the landscape, and are virtually unequaled in providing abundant color and interest in return for the care they require. Botanically, perennials are plants which live for more than two years. This, of course, would include trees, turf grasses and shrubs. Horticulturally, though, the term perennial refers to a group of herbaceous (nonwoody) plants most frequently grown for their colorful flowers. Plants possessing bulbs and bulblike structures (corms, tubers, etc.) technically belong to this group, and are often included with them. More frequently they are separated off into their own category, though the dividing line is often blurred. Perennials have probably been under utilized in the South because of a general assumption that they don't do well here. Many perennials, however, thrive under our growing conditions. Just make sure you exercise care in choosing varieties suitably adapted to your situation. Most perennials are completely winter-hardy in the Southeast, although there are a number of tender perennials grown in the Gulf Coastal areas which would not be suitable in areas with colder winters. Conversely, some perennials like peonies do better where winters are colder. Overall, the major limiting factors for tolerance and susceptibility to diseases favored by heat and humidity. When selecting perennials, you should tend toward those with a reputation for heat tolerance.

Swing Through
Swing Through 20m Swing Through is an interactive agility garden that connects the user to Canada’s diverse landscape, as well as its major economic industry. The garden is a series of thirteen finished lumber posts that dangle from a large steel structure, creating “tree swings”. On the swings are climbing holds where visitors can use the holds to climb up and across the tree swings. Directly under the tree swings are thirteen colour-coordinated stumps that give the user an extra boost, if needed. The thirteen timber tree swings represent Canada’s ten provinces and three territories by using wood from the official provincial and territorial trees. Surrounding this structure of Canadian trees is a garden divided into thirteen sections displaying the native plants of each province and territory. This representative regional plantings encompassing the swings, creating a soft edge. 10m Swing Through allows visitors to touch, smell, and play with the various YT NT NU BC AB SK MB ON QC NL NB PE NS natural elements that make our country so green, prosperous and beautiful.

Liatris Pilosa (Ainton) Willd., Grass-Leaved Or Shaggy Blazing Star
October 2019 Plant of the Month Liatris pilosa (Ainton) Willd., Grass-leaved or Shaggy Blazing Star October 2019's Plant of the Month is one of New Jersey's Coastal Plain fall showy composites: Liatris pilosa, the blazing star. This plant is one of New Jersey's most distinctive fall flowering species, with its bright purple raceme. The plant is a member of the Asteraceae, the Daisy family (formerly the Compositae). The plant is also known to some of our New Jersey plant enthusiast by it former name, Liatris graminifolia. Grass leaved blazing star, when in flower, is a familiar sight along our Outer Coastal Plain roadsides and old fields. The purple spikes are visible mixed with goldenrods and thoroughworts. Mary Hough (1983) documented voucher specimens have been collected from all of the Coastal Plain counties except Monmouth. The USDA Plants Database maps the species throughout the eastern States from New Jersey south to Florida, and west to isolated stations in Alabama and West Virginia. New Jersey supports a few other members of the genus Liatris. The New Jersey other Liatris species have floral, leaf, and root differences from the Plant of the Month. Liatris spicata, L. pychnostachya, and L. scariosa (3 varieties) are three other members of the genus growing naturally in New Jersey. Liatris spicata is our most common plant outside the Pine Barrens. It is also the species we see offered for the perennial gardens by regional nurseries. Liatris scariosa and its three varieties are recorded for the northeastern corner of the State. Liatris pychnostachya is a tall western species that has escaped cultivation and is persistent in Egg Harbor City between Rout 50 and Cologne Road.

TAYLOR Department of Biology, St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, B2G 2W5 Canada; e-mail: [email protected] *Contribution from the Herbarium of St. Francis Xavier University Garbary, David J., and Barry R. Taylor. 2007. Flowering during January in Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Canadian Field- Naturalist 121(1): 76–80. Over 85 records of 23 species of blooming, herbaceous angiosperms were made at 19 sites in Antigonish County between 7 and 21 January 2006, when daytime temperatures reached 15°C. These observations followed an unusually warm fall and early winter. All species were observed on waste ground or in fields and garden plots, except for Epigaea repens L. which was part of ground vegetation in a sparsely wooded site. The primary families represented were Asteraceae (six species), Brassicaceae (six species) and Carophyllaceae (four species). The most commonly observed plants were Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber (11 sites), Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. (nine sites), Thlaspi arvense L. (three sites) and Stellaria media (L.) Vill. (four sites). Many plants and inflorescences were conspicuously frost-damaged, and flowers were rarely fully open. In several species, e.g., T. arvense and Cerastium vulgatum L., many individual plants looked normal and there was no evidence of frost damage. These observations are the latest flowering records for Nova Scotia. Key Words: Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, winter flowering, phenology, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia most species of flowering plants visited twice.
