  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes
    North Carolina Cooperative Extension NC STATE UNIVERSITY SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes Pender County Cooperative Extension Urban Horticulture Leaflet 14 Coastal Challenges Plants growing at the beach are subjected to environmental conditions much different than those planted further inland. Factors such as blowing sand, poor soils, high temperatures, and excessive drainage all influence how well plants perform in coastal landscapes, though the most significant effect on growth is salt spray. Most plants will not tolerate salt accumulating on their foliage, making plant selection for beachfront land- scapes particularly challenging. Salt Spray Salt spray is created when waves break on the beach, throwing tiny droplets of salty water into the air. On-shore breezes blow this salt laden air landward where it comes in contact with plant foliage. The amount of salt spray plants receive varies depending on their proximity to the beachfront, creating different vegetation zones as one gets further away from the beachfront. The most salt-tolerant species surviving in the frontal dune area. As distance away from the ocean increases, the level of salt spray decreases, allowing plants with less salt tolerance to survive. Natural Protection The impact of salt spray on plants can be lessened by physically blocking salt laden winds. This occurs naturally in the maritime forest, where beachfront plants protect landward species by creating a layer of foliage that blocks salt spray. It is easy to see this effect on the ocean side of maritime forest plants, which are “sheared” by salt spray, causing them to grow at a slant away from the oceanfront.

Here we found our first flowers, the extremely common Autumn Squill Prospero autumnale, the striped, hooded spathes of Friar’s Cowl Arisarum vulgare, and a number of Crocus mazziaricus. A few butterflies included Long-tailed Blue, Lang’s Short-tailed Blue, Eastern Bath White, Mallow Skipper and a Pigmy Skipper. We continued along the newly-completed coast road, before turning inland and climbing steeply into the mountains. We arrived in Kalavrita around 6pm and after settling in to our hotel, we enjoyed a delicious meal of home-cooked food at a nearby taverna. Day 2 Thursday 25th October We awoke to a sunny day with cloud over the mountains. Above Kalavrita, we explored an area of Kermes Oak scrub and open pasture, where we found more white Crocus mazziaricus and Crocus melantherus. Crocus melantherus, as its name suggests can be distinguished from other autumn-flowering species by its black anthers and purple feathering on the outer tepals. Cyclamen hederifolium was common under the shade of the trees.

  • Bulb Dormancy in Vitro—Fritillaria Meleagris: Initiation, Release and Physiological Parameters

It can take several years until a new plant is formed and commercial profitability is achieved. Therefore, micropropagation techniques have been developed to increase the multiplication rate and thus shorten the multiplication and regeneration period. The majority of these techniques rely on the formation of new bulbs and their sprouting. Dormancy is one of the main limiting factors to speed up multiplication in vitro. Bulbous species have a period of bulb dormancy which enables them to survive unfavorable natural conditions. Bulbs grown in vitro also exhibit dormancy, which has to be overcome in order to allow sprouting of bulbs in the next vegetation period. During the period of dormancy, numerous physiological processes occur, many of which have not been elucidated yet. Understanding the process of dormancy will allow us to speed up and improve breeding of geophytes and thereby achieve economic profitability, which is very important for horticulture. This review focuses on recent findings in the area of Citation: Markovi´c,M.; Momˇcilov, bulb dormancy initiation and release in fritillaries, with particular emphasis on the effect of plant M.T.; Uzelac, B.; Jevremovi´c,S.; growth regulators and low-temperature pretreatment on dormancy release in relation to induction of Suboti´c,A.

  • Spring Plants
    This article is part of a weekly series published in the Batavia Daily News by Jan Beglinger, Agriculture Outreach Coordinator for CCE of Genesee County. Master Gardener Corner: Spring Charmers Originally Published: April 14, 2015 There is nothing better after any winter than to see that first bloom in the garden. Most are familiar with the traditional spring bloomers - crocus, daffodils and tulips, but there are other plants that herald spring is on the way. Add any of these plants to your landscape for a brilliant splash of spring color. Cornus mas, commonly called Cornelian cherry dogwood, is valued for its very early spring blooms which open earlier than forsythia. Yellow flowers on short stalks bloom before the leaves emerge in dense, showy, rounded clusters. This is a medium to large deciduous shrub or small tree that is native to central and southern Europe into western Asia. It typically grows 15 to 25 feet tall with a spread of 12 to 20 feet wide. Scaly, exfoliating bark develops on mature trunks for winter interest. Zones 4 to 8. Witch hazels (Hamamelis spp.) are large shrubs that have wispy, twisted, ribbon-like delicate blooms that stand up to early spring weather. Depending on the species or cultivar, the flows come in shades of red, yellow and orange; some are even fragrant. Bloom time depends heavily on the weather. In a mild winter they could bloom in February! Witch hazels perform best when planted in a moist but well-drained, loamy, acidic soil. Zones 5 to 8. Cyclamen coum is a tuberous herbaceous perennial, growing just 2 to 3 inches tall.

  • Hardy Cyclamen. Thomas Hood Wrote a Poem Which Neatly Sums up How Most of Us Feel About This Time of the Year
    Hardy Cyclamen. Thomas Hood wrote a poem which neatly sums up how most of us feel about this time of the year. It starts: ‘No sun - no moon! No morn -no noon! No dawn- no dusk! No proper time of day!’ The poem finishes: ‘No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November!’ Of course we have fruits and flowers at the moment and leaves too, they are hanging on late this year, but the glorious fire of Autumn leaves collapses into a soggy mush this month and many of the flowers that are left are the brave and pathetic last ditch attempts of summer flowering plants. Cyclamen hederifolium though, is still looking good after making its first appearance as early as August. This plant used to be called Cyclamen neapolitanum but is no longer known by that name. It is a little gem with ivy shaped leaves, hence the name ‘hederifolium’ which means ivy-leafed. The heart-shaped leaves differ enormously in shape and size; most of them are exquisitely marbled in grey or silver. Sometimes the leaves appear before the flowers, sometimes the flowers appear first, and sometimes they come together. The flowers have five reflex petals and they come in varying shades of pink with a deep v-shaped magenta blotch at the base. There is enormous variation in the shape and size of the flowers. Some of mine are as big as the florist’s cyclamen, Cyclamen persicum which of course is not hardy. The lovely white form is equally desirable.

  • Plant Records, 2014. the Flora of Staffordshire Dealt with Records Made up Until the End of 2011
    Plant Records, 2014. The Flora of Staffordshire dealt with records made up until the end of 2011. This short account is the third annual report listing some of the more interesting results of later fieldwork. Dates are 2014, unless stated otherwise. New records for VC39 Adiantum raddianum: in a warm retail house on warm bricks, Ashwood Nursery/Garden Centre, SO8687, C.B. Westall, 2012. Aesculus indica: planted on golf course, Beacon Park, SK1009, Beacon Park Recording Group, 2013. Akebia quinata: Bridgnorth Road, nr Sainsbury's, Wombourne, SO8692, CBW. Allium scorodoprasum: fifty spikes on a rank grassy verge, NW corner of the junction of a side road and the A53, Royal Cottage, SK0263, J.E. Hawksford. This is a well botanised area and it is astonishing that the species has not been recorded here, before: presumably the verge has been more thoroughly strimmed in previous years. Cardamine raphanifolia: in a little soft, silty mire with C. amara. One in flower, plus quite a lot of leaves, Dimmingsdale, SK0443, M.F. Godfrey. Ceratophyllum submersum: at the edge of Chillington Pool, SJ8505, S.R. Moore. Cyclamen repandum: a one square metre patch with other plants within 3m, long established and seeding, under trees by broken-down fence line, with newly-constructed brick building on one side and open public green space on other, just off Sandy Lane, Newcastle, SJ8546. A new fence was erected across the site later in the year, IJH. Picea mariana: planted in woodland near Chillington Hall (with P. spinulosa), SJ8606, SRM. Trachyspermum ammi: single plants in two places at the junction of house walls and paving between Shelton and Stoke, SJ8845, IJH.
