There are many reasons for including native plants in your landscape. Native plants are specifically adapted to our climate and pests and once established require little to no care if they are planted in a suitable habitat. These plant species have relationships with other species that live in your area; many plants are larval hosts to butterflies and provide food and shelter for other important animals. Native plants make for a beautifully colorful and environmentally friendly garden that allows individuals to help maintain Ontario’s exceptional biodiversity. Grow Wild collects all seed in an ecologically responsible manner.

  • 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.

  • Trillium, As an Indicator of Deer Density Hanover Biodiversity Committee October, 2017
    [DRAFT v. 10] Trillium, as an indicator of deer density Hanover Biodiversity Committee October, 2017 Rationale for this Report Members of the lily family, such as Trillium and Clintonia, are among the favored foods of deer; 30 species of Trillium are found East of the Mississippi. The decline of these plants is mentioned in multiple publications1 as one key indicator of deer over-abundance. Red Trillium (Trillium erectum), also called ‘wake Robin’, found in the north-east and is (or was) fairly common in many Hanover forested neighborhoods. We suggest that monitoring this plant where it is (or once was) common demonstrates that deer density remains unsustainably high and future monitoring of the plant can help determine both the neighborhood density of deer and also serve as an indicator of change in deer density. Monitoring for this plant is easy, with just a small bit of training about the process. This report suggests a serious decline in biodiversity in Hanover over the past 15 years, as indicated by impact on red Trillium at three sites. We believe that with a focused increase in hunting pressure, this and other declining native plants might recover. Red Trillium is a frequent member of typical ‘rich mesic forests2’ plant communities found in Hanover; other plants often found nearby are Virginia waterleaf, blood root, wild ginger, foam flower, blue cohosh, and certain other members of the lily family. Besides aggressive deer browse, these communities are also threatened in varying degrees by invasive plants: garlic mustard, Dame’s rocket, wild parsnip, wild chervil and forget-me-not as well as the usual woody invaders.

  • Brandywine Conservancy Native Plant & Seed Sale
    Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art 2016 Native Plant & Seed Sale Expected Plant Availability The plants in our sale are carefully nursery-propagated. None are collected from the wild. A large percentage are grown from seeds that are collected by Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art garden volunteers from the gardens surrounding the Brandywine River Museum of Art and from the Conservancy’s adjacent meadows here in Chadds Ford, PA. Packets of these same seeds, hand-collected, cleaned and packaged by the garden volunteers, are available during the plant sale as well as year-round in the museum’s gift shop. Seed packets are $2 each and $5 for a set of any three packets. Sharp-eyed shoppers at our annual sale have learned that we customarily sell some plants as small communities of compatible species. This means that a pot with a large Foamflower may also contain a seedling Wild Columbine or Wild Geranium; a Brandywine Bluebell may include a Dutchman’s Breeches; a Showy Coneflower might contain a Dense Blazing Star and a Smooth Beardtongue. Customers pay for the primary plant, only. Such combinations can be separated and planted individually or planted as one and allowed to grow as a group. Nearly every batch of plants at our sale is presented with an informative sign, usually containing a color photo, to help you better understand where the plant will grow best and what it can be expected to look like after it has grown a bit in your garden. To help you remember that information after you get home, each plant has a label which includes the basic attributes specific to that plant: typical size, time and color of flower, its sun preference (full sun, part shade, shade) and soil moisture preference (wet, moist or dry) and, if there is room on the label, a comment regarding its value to birds, bees and butterflies.

  • 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.

Nature Saskatchewan Special Publication No. 25. 139 pp. 24.95 Can. Softcover 21.5 x 25.3 cm, (8.5 x 10 inches). As the culmination of more than a decade of direct study and the accumulation of in excess of a century of anecdotal and scientific literature, the book is an ecological treatise. It takes the reader from details of anatomical structure through phases of growth, and provides information on range, habitats, associated species and interactions with other components of the lily’s ecosystem. It is a treat to learn not only about the hidden secrets of the lily’s life history, but also about the habits of the animal life with which it shares space, both underneath the ground and above it. The photographs, illustrations and figures throughout the book are At first glance, the large format and superb, with the names of many of our plethora of photographs in this book well-known naturalists represented in lead one to believe that it might be what the photo credits, supporting and is commonly referred to as a “coffee enhancing the excellent material table” book, the kind that you can flip obtained by the authors.
