Kumala Dewi ii ABSTRACT Nerine fothergillii bulbs were stored at different temperatures for a certain period of time and then planted and grown in an open condition. The effect of the different storage temperatures on carbohydrate -; content and endogenous gibberellins w Ct,5 examined in relation to flowering. Flowering percentage and flower number in each umbel was reduced when the bulbs were stored at 300 C while bulbs which received 50 C treatment possess earlier flowering and longer flower stalksthan bulbs without 5 0 C storage treatment. Carbohydrates in both outer and inner scales of N. fothergillii were examined semi-quantitatively by paper chromatography. Glucose, fructose and sucrose have been identified from paper chromatogramS. Endogenous gibberellins in N. fothergillii have been identified by GC - SIM and full mass spectra from GCMS. These include GA19, GA20 and G Al, their presence suggests the occurence of the early 13 - hydroxylation pathway. The response of N. bowdenii grown under Long Day (LD) and Short Day (SD) conditions w as studied. Ten plants from each treatment were examined at intervalsof 4 weeks.

    David Domoneys Complete Guide to Seeds and Bulbs

    Do David money’s COMPLETE GUIDE To bs Seeds and Bul Let’s begin at the beginning Knowing where plants come from and how they grow is important if you want to grow strong, healthy plants. Understanding seeds and bulbs will help you become a better gardener. What’s in this guide? First we will look at seeds and the different techniques for sowing them indoors and directly outside. We will also explore how to care for seedlings, plus the right ways to collect and store seeds from your plants. In the second part, we will talk about the different types of bulbs, how to plant them and the best ways to create year-round displays. Seeds Growing your own plants from seed is always exciting. Seeing them develop into new plants is very rewarding, and it’s a cost-effective way to add to your garden. What are seeds? A seed is the unit of reproduction for most plants. It contains all the genetic information needed to create an entirely new plant, plus a nutrient store to help it get started. So many types of plants can be grown from seed, from herbs and vegetables to annual and perennial flowering species. Most seeds need warmth and moisture to germinate, but some need bright light or a cooler environment to get started. Others require soaking before sowing. There will be full instructions on the seed packet, but here I will show you a few general tips to help you get started. Find more guides at davidomoney.com Sowing outdoors Some seeds can be sown directly into the ground where you want them to grow.

    Nerine Bowdenii Final Trials Report 2012–2017

    Nerine bowdenii Final Trials Report 2012–2017 Trials Office, RHS Garden Wisley, Woking, Surrey, GU23 6QB RHS Registered Charity No: 222879 / SC038262 RHS Trial of Nerine bowdenii Introduction to the Trial The genus Nerine contains 25 species, most well known of which is the Guernsey lily (N. sarniensis) a greenhouse plant. All the species occur in southern Africa but only a very few are truly hardy in the UK. Since its introduction to cultivation in 1898 N. bowdenii has become widely grown in gardens and a diverse range of forms has been developed, either by selection or hybridisation. The scale of this diversity was revealed by the Hardy Nerine Study Day in October 2007. From that point onwards the idea of a trial grew, mainly through the efforts of the then National Plant Collection holder for hardy nerines, Mrs Margaret Owen. The trial agreed was an RHS off-site trial, run jointly by the RHS and the Nerine and Amaryllid Society (NAAS). Two sites were chosen to test the hardiness of the entries: one in the north (The Patch, Acton Pigott, Shropshire – site of the then National Plant Collection) and one in the south (Bramdean House, Bramdean, Hampshire – site of an extensive collection of nerines owned by Mrs Victoria Wakefield). Although the intention was to have entries in common to both sites to allow proper comparison, the difficult process of putting the trial together meant that not all the entries were grown at both sites. A particular challenge for the trial was the fact that many of the entries were not named or not properly named as cultivars.

    GOING TO SUSTAINABLE Lowering Landscape and Garden Maintenance Including Better Ways to Water and How to Save Water © Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 LOWERING MAINTENANCE REDUCING MAINTENANCE IN THE PLANNING STAGES Unfortunately, maintenance of the landscape is often assumed or overlooked during the planning and design phase of a project 1) Keep the planting design simple. The more elaborate the plan and planting -- Numbers of plants, variety of plants, -- less than simple lines and shapes -- … the more maintenance is required. For instance, lawn areas need to be plotted so that mowing, edging and periodic maintenance can be accomplished easily. -- Avoid tight angles and sharp corners. -- wide angles, gentle, sweeping curves, and straight lines are much easier to mow. -- Make certain each plant in the plan serves a purpose. 2) Select the right plant for the right place We all know that there are “sun plants” for sunny spots and “shade plants” for shady spots. And we don’t plant “sun plants” in shade nor do we plant “shade plants” in sun. And some of us know that there are drought-tolerant plants that like dry soil and little water -- and there are moisture-loving plants that like their feet wet. And we don’t mix those up either. Such “mix ups” result in everything from the obvious: outright death of the plant involved to a subtly stressed plant that shows various symptoms of “disease” -- whether it’s an actual organism or a physiological condition. Copyright Joseph L. Seals, 2008, 2009 Every time you push a plant beyond its natural adaptations, abilities, and tolerances, you invite problems and you invite higher maintenance When choosing the right plant, start with THE BIG PICTURE: We have a Mediterranean climate.

WORDS JOHN HOYLAND PHOTOGRAPHS SIETSKE DE VRIES Hardiness rating USDA 8. e are all familiar with images of the Wmulticoloured bands of flowers that paint the Dutch landscape in spring. The area around the country’s famous bulb garden at Keukenhof, in particular, is a patchwork of small nurseries, separated by narrow canals, that grow tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and John Hoyland alliums. By the end of the summer, the bulb is a plantsman and fields are bare save for the occasional garden writer who has gardens in both explosion of candy-floss pink and sparkling southeast England white from the fields of nerines. Several of and southwest these fields are tended by Kitty de Jong, France. whose passion for the genus has earned her locally the epithet ‘Queen of the Nerines’. Nerines are South African bulbs whose flowers sparkle in the dull days of autumn, their pinks and reds a startling and restorative sight. “They are sprinkled with gold dust,” says Kitty, who explains that this luminosity is created by cells on the surface of the petals that capture and concentrate light to create a glittery surface, which shimmers in the weak autumnal sunshine.
