  • Summer Bulbs
    Garden Mastery Tips June 2008 from Clark County Master Gardeners Summer Bulbs Wasn't it easy to get that wonderful spring color? You dug a hole last fall and dropped in crocus, daffodil, hyacinth or tulip bulbs. Covered them up and went back inside to wait until spring. The hardest part was probably choosing which bulbs and colors to plant. Wouldn't it be nice to take care of your summer garden color the same way? Well, you can. There are summer bulbs, corms and rhizomes that need the same amount of care. You dig a hole, drop them in and voila!, in a few weeks, you have summer color. Again, the hardest part will be choosing what to plant. Here are some suggestions for you. Agapanthus – Agreeable Agapanthus, Love Flower Amaryllis Belladonna – What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? (Amaryllis belladonna) Calla Lilies – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious "Lilies" Canna flowers are similar to Gladiolus, large clusters of flowers. But think steroids. These plants are big, brash and bold. Canna rhizomes should be planted in loose, fertile, well-drained soil. They don't have a top or bottom so just lay them in the ground and cover with about two inches of soil after all danger of hard frost has passed. For a really showy statement in your garden, plant a group. Again, the lazy gardener can mulch over the cannas and take a chance on their coming up the next year. A website full of information on Cannas can be found at Horn Canna Farm’s site. Croscosmia – Crocosmia Dahlias – Dahlia Success Eucomis – Eucomis Gladiolus is native to sub-Saharan Africa and contains about 260 species.

  • One New Endemic Plant Species on Average Per Month in New Caledonia, Including Eight More New Species from Île Art (Belep Islan
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Systematic Botany, 2018, 31, 448–480 https://doi.org/10.1071/SB18016 One new endemic plant species on average per month in New Caledonia, including eight more new species from Île Art (Belep Islands), a major micro-hotspot in need of protection Gildas Gâteblé A,G, Laure Barrabé B, Gordon McPherson C, Jérôme Munzinger D, Neil Snow E and Ulf Swenson F AInstitut Agronomique Néo-Calédonien, Equipe ARBOREAL, BP 711, 98810 Mont-Dore, New Caledonia.

The New Caledonian biodiversity hotspot contains many micro-hotspots that exhibit high plant micro- endemism, and that are facing different types and intensities of threats. The Belep archipelago, and especially Île Art, with 24 and 21 respective narrowly endemic species (1 Extinct,21Critically Endangered and 2 Endangered), should be considered as the most sensitive micro-hotspot of plant diversity in New Caledonia because of the high anthropogenic threat of fire. Nano-hotspots could also be defined for the low forest remnants of the southern and northern plateaus of Île Art. With an average rate of more than one new species described for New Caledonia each month since January 2000 and five new endemics for the Belep archipelago since 2009, the state of knowledge of the flora is steadily improving.

    Family Asteraceae Family: Asteraceae Spotted Knapweed Centaurea biebersteinii DC. Synonyms Acosta maculosa auct. non Holub, Centaurea maculosa auct. non Lam. Related Species Russian Knapweed Acroptilon repens (L.) DC. Description Spotted knapweed is a biennial to short-lived perennial plant. Seedling cotyledons are ovate, with the first leaves lance-shaped, undivided, and hairless. (Young seedlings can appear grass-like.) Stems grow 1 to 4 feet tall, and are many-branched, with a single flower at the end of each branch. Rosette leaves are indented or divided Old XID Services photo by Richard about half-way to the midrib. Stem leaves are alternate, pinnately divided, Spotted knapweed flower. and get increasingly smaller toward the tip of each branch. Flower heads are urn-shaped, up to 1 inch wide, and composed of pink, purple, or sometimes white disk flowers. A key characteristic of spotted knap- weed is the dark comb-like fringe on the tips of the bracts, found just below the flower petals. These dark-tipped bracts give this plant its “spotted” appearance. Russian knapweed is a creeping perennial plant that is extensively branched, with solitary urn-shaped pink or purple flower heads at the end of each branch. Similar in appearance to spotted knapweed, Russian knapweed can be distinguished by its slightly smaller flower heads, flower head bracts covered in light hairs, with papery tips, and scaly dark brown or black rhizomes, which have a burnt appearance. Family: Asteraceae Spotted Knapweed Leaves and stems of both spotted and Russian knapweeds are covered in fine hairs, giving the plants a grayish cast.

  • Orchid of the Month for June, 2015 Oncidium Longipes by Bruce Adams
    Orchid of the Month for June, 2015 Oncidium Longipes by Bruce Adams Figure 1: Oncidium longipes When I first fell in love with orchids, about forty years ago, Oncidium was my favorite genus. I loved the intricate flowers on long sprays, often with a wonderful fragrance. At that time, I worked as a volunteer in the orchid house at Planting Fields Arboretum. After repotting plants, I had the opportunity to take home back bulbs, and received pieces of Oncidium sphacelatum, O. flexuosum, and others that I can no longer remember. Every year they had an orchid auction, and for the extravagant price of five dollars, I purchased a multi-lead plant of O. ornithorhyncum. I became familiar with many of the various species, and at the time was a bit of an Oncidium expert. Forty years later, I’ve forgotten much, and with the recent changes in nomenclature maybe I wasn’t ever really an Oncidium expert, but rather a Trichocentrum, Gomesa, and Tolumnia expert! What hasn’t changed is my fondness for this vast genus (or group of genera). Plants can get quite large, such as Oncidium sphacelatum, which can easily can fill a twelve-inch pot, sending out three foot spikes with hundreds of flowers. But there are also miniatures like Oncidium harrisonianum, which can be contained in a three or four inch pot and sports short sprays of pretty little yellow flowers with brown spots. In fact, most Oncidium flowers are a variation of yellow and brown, although Oncidium ornithorhyncum produces pretty purple pink flowers, while Oncidium phalaenopsis and its relatives have beautiful white to red flowers, often spotted with pink.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Chrysanthemum
    Plant of the Week Chrysanthemum Mother’s Day is celebrated in Australia on the second Sunday in May. For most of the early years of the last century, it was seen as a day on which “Mum” had a day off work, to be thoroughly spoiled by husband and children. Breakfast in bed was usually followed by attendance at church, with all wearing white flowers, often Gardenias. Later, Chrysanthemums became a popular Mother’s Day gift. Sellers of Chrysanthemum flowers, known as the “bucket brigade”, could be found on every street corner and every lay by for miles around Sydney. The current concept that an expensive gift must be bought for mother on Mother’s Day has evolved in relatively recent years, a devious marketing ploy to which most of us have succumbed! Prior to the establishment of Macquarie University, the land which is now campus, was farmed by (mostly) Italian market gardeners. In addition to fruit, and vegetables, they grew flowers, including Chrysanthemums for the Sydney flower market. Later, on the site now occupied by MGSM, groundsman David Melville grew flowers, including Chrysanthemums, for university administrative offices and library. jú huā The Chrysanthemum (菊花) has great significance in Chinese culture where it is known, together with orchid, bamboo and plum blossom, as one of the “Four Gentlemen” 四君子(Si Jun Zi)2. Chrysanthemum is first recorded in Chinese literature in the 7th Century BC when the yellow flowers were used in Chinese traditional medicine. Drinking Chrysanthemum tea was seen to promote longevity, perhaps even immortality. The Chrysanthemum is also considered to symbolise the Confucian scholar.
