As a consequence of relying on non-renewable energy sources and reckless encroachment on natural habitats a lot of plant and animal species have become extinct and more and more species are getting endangered. Thus celebrating biodiversity and solidarity for all life forms, from the tiniest one to the most complex eco-systems, has been in the centre of our attention and operational activities. Keywords: durable development, ecology, endangered species. 1. Introduction Within the massive destruction of forests and forest climate, we witness significant changes, Just as the man has passed from the stage of sometimes radical of the environment. For the animal hunter and collector up to animal raiser and farmer, and plants which have survived through a long period the natural vegetation has increasingly been subject of adaptation, a new difficult era starts again.

  • History and Cultivation of Parma Violets (Viola, Violaceae) in the United Kingdom and France in the Nineteenth Century
    History AND Cultivation OF PARMA VIOLETS (VIOLA, VIOLACEAE) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FRANCE IN THE NINETEENTH Century LUÍS MENDONÇA DE CARVALHO,1,2 FRANCISCA MARIA FERNANDES,3 MARIA DE FÁTIMA NUNES,3 JOÃO BRIGOLA,3 NATHALIE CASBAS,4 AND CLIVE GROVES5 Abstract. Scented cultivars of Parma violets were among the most important urban plants during the nineteenth century, with many references in literature, fashion, art and flower trade. Our research analyzed data related to Parma violets in France and in the United Kingdom and presents the cultivars introduced during the nineteenth century. Keywords: Parma violets, Viola cultivars, United Kingdom, France, social history The first records describing the use of violets origin. Earlier Italian literature from the XVI (Viola L., Violaceae) in Europe are from Ancient century refers to violets with a strong fragrance Greece: fragrant violets were sold in the and pleiomerous flowers that were obtained Athenian agora; praised by Greek poets, as in the from the East, near the city of Constantinople writings of Sappho (Jesus, 2009); used in (now Istanbul), capital of the former Byzantine medicine (Theophrastus, 1916); had an active role Empire.

  • NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012
    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world.

  • May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture
    May 15, 2016 Passing Peony and Iris Plants on from Generation to Generation Annette Meyer Heisdorffer Daviess County Extension Agent for Horticulture After lunch on Mother’s Day, my mom and I surveyed her garden, especially the peonies. We both agreed that I needed to propagate her peonies and plant them in my garden. These are special, because I remember them growing in my grandmother’s garden. Peonies are commonly passed down from generation to generation. My goal is to someday share them with my twins. Our discussion included the irises, which are another heritage plant. Both plants are blooming beautifully in May and are spectacular in the garden. Information about these two plants will be provided in this article. Peony (Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia lactiflora, and hybrids) is a herbaceous perennial, which means at the end of the growing season it will die back to the ground. However, the plant returns year after year. Peonies grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. There are tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) which have a woody stem, but those are not as common and require different growing conditions. The tree peony will not be discussed here. According to Dr. Rick Durham, Extension Specialist for Consumer Horticulture, peonies can be found in landscapes across Kentucky. Peonies have a long life span and are commonly grown in the garden. When planting the root, make sure it is not too deep. The eyes or bud should be just below the surface of the soil. If it is planted too deeply, the plants won't bloom.

  • Alplains 2013 Seed Catalog P.O
    ALPLAINS 2013 SEED CATALOG P.O. BOX 489, KIOWA, CO 80117-0489, U.S.A. Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.
