  • NEW PLANT SELECTIONS for 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower the Sunflower Is One of the Most Popular Genera of Flowers to Grow in Your Garden
    NEW PLANT SELECTIONS FOR 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower The Sunflower is one of the most popular genera of flowers to grow in your garden. First-time to experienced gardeners gravitate to these bold, easy to grow flowers. Sunflowers originated in the Americas and domestic seeds dating back to 2100 BC have been found in Mexico. Native Americans grew sunflowers as a crop, and explorers eventually brought the flowers to Europe in the 1500s. Over the next few centuries, sunflowers became increasingly popular on the European and Asian continent, with Russian farmers growing over 2 million acres in the early 19th century (most of which was used to manufacture sunflower oil). How to Grow and Care for Sunflowers: Sunflower seeds can be direct sown after the risk of frost has passed or started indoors. Seeds should be sown ¼” to ½” deep and kept moist. Taller, larger sunflower varieties have a large taproot to keep them rooted and do not do well when they are transplanted so direct sowing of those varieties is recommended. Choose a site, or a container, in full sun, with average fertility and good drainage. https://ngb.org/year-of-the-sunflower/ Proven Winners 2021 Annual of the Year – Supertunia Mini Vista® Pink Star Meet the newest star in our annual lineup! Take a closer look at Supertunia Mini Vista® Pink Star petunia to find ideas for incorporating it into your garden and learn what it needs to thrive.

  • Monday, June 17Th 2013 [email protected] a FEW DEFINITIONS
    Sex, drugs, & York - Monday, June 17th 2013 [email protected] A FEW DEFINITIONS: Taxonomy = the science of describing, naming & classifying living organisms Binomial nomenclature = formal scientific Latin names in two parts; Genus & species (or specific epithet) Angiosperms = the flowering plants Phylogenetics = the study of evolutionary relationships within and between groups of organisms Fact No.1: Taxonomy is the oldest profession in the World GENESIS chapter 2: 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. Fact No.2: Biology is a process Biology is not a static and un-altering product. This means that species cannot always be clearly & easily forced into neat boxes. NAMING & CLASSIFYING these are not necessarily the same thing (but they can be) Why do we NAME plants? Moon daisy, dog daisy, ox-eye daisy or marguerite? Always Leucanthemum vulgare everywhere The purpose of NAMING plants is for communication & gaining access to knowledge WHICH IS BETTER; vernacular or scientific names? NAMES of plants can be vernacular or scientific The advantage of vernacular names is that they are in the local language & so easier to remember.

  • Trees and Shrubs of Saint-Petersburg in the Age of Climate Change
    Trees and shrubs of Saint-Petersburg in the age of climate change A remarkable meteorological record dating back to the eighteenth century and uninterrupted phenological record dating back to the nineteenth century have been accumulated in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. GENNADY A. FIRSOV and INNA V. FADEYEVA have studied the effect of climate on the survival of the woody plants that have been grown in St-Petersburg’s parks and gardens for the last three centuries. In Saint-Petersburg the earliest cultivation of trees and shrubs is connected with Peter the Great and goes back to the first years of existence of the new capital of Russia. It is also connected with his personal physician Robert Erskine, a nobleman from Scotland, who signed the edict on establishing the Apothecary Garden on 14 February 1714 (now the Botanic Garden of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, BIN). Using the main literature sources beginning with the first Catalogue of J. Siegesbeck (1736), it seems to be that more than 5,000 woody taxa have been tested here during three centuries. Another important dendrological collection in the city is the Arboretum of the State Forest-Technical University, FTU (established in 1833). More than 2,000 taxa are present in St-Petersburg’s parks and 63 gardens today. The cumulative experience of exotic trees and shrubs in St-Petersburg has shown that the main limiting factor for cultivating them outdoors are low temperatures in the cold period of the year. A high degree of winter hardiness will determine the success of any introduction (Firsov, Fadeyeva, 2009b).

Brach Odostemon Rafinesque. Shrubs or small trees, evergreen, 0.3–8 m tall. Spines absent. Leaves imparipinnate, alternate, sessile or petiolate; petiole to 14 cm; leaflets 3–41; lateral leaflets usually sessile; terminal leaflet sessile or petiolulate; margins of leaflets entire, variously toothed, or with coarse or fine serrations. Inflorescence terminal, of (1–)3–18-fascicled simple or branched racemes or panicles, 3–35 cm, subtended by leafletlike bracts. Pedicel 1.5–24 mm, subtending bract shorter or longer than pedicel. Flowers yellow, with 3 whorls of sepals and 1 whorl of petals, with or without glands at base of petals. Anther connective not prolonged, apiculate or conspicuously prolonged. Ovary ellipsoid; ovules 1–7; styles absent or to 3 mm, persistent on mature fruit. Fruit berries, bluish or black, often glaucous. Seeds 1–7. About 60 species: mainly in E and SE Asia, also in W North America, Central America, and W South America; 31 species (27 endemic) in China; six additional species (five endemic) are insufficiently known. Most of the Chinese wild populations of Mahonia have been extirpated, probably as a result of over-collecting for medicinal use, and the plants now being described are probably individuals that vary only in minor ways from the relatively few specimens that exist in herbaria. Ahrendt (J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 57: 1–410. 1961) recognized two “groups” in Mahonia: “Orientales” and “Occidentales.” All of the Asian species of Mahonia, plus a single North American species from the Pacific Northwest, M.

  • ABSTRACT ROUNSAVILLE, TODD JEFFREY. Cytogenetics
    ABSTRACT ROUNSAVILLE, TODD JEFFREY. Cytogenetics, Micropropagation, and Reproductive Biology of Berberis, Mahonia, and Miscanthus. (Under the direction of Thomas G. Ranney). Research was conducted to determine the genome sizes and ploidy levels for a diverse collection of Berberis L. and Mahonia Nutt. genotypes, develop a micropropagation protocol for Mahonia „Soft Caress‟, and examine the fertility and reproductive pathways among clones of diploid and triploid Miscanthus sinensis Andersson. Berberis and Mahonia are sister taxa within the Berberidaceae with strong potential for ornamental improvement. Propidium iodide (PI) flow cytometric analysis was conducted to determine genome sizes. Mean 1CX genome size varied between the two Mahonia subgenera (Occidentales = 1.17 pg, Orientales = 1.27 pg), while those of Berberis subgenera were similar (Australes = 1.45 pg, Septentrionales = 1.47 pg), but larger than those of Mahonia. Traditional cytology was performed on representative species to calibrate genome sizes with ploidy levels. While the majority of species were determined to be diploid with 2n = 2x = 28, artificially-induced autopolyploid Berberis thunbergii seedlings were confirmed to be tetraploid and an accession of Mahonia nervosa was confirmed to be hexaploid. Genome sizes and ploidy levels are presented for the first time for the majority of taxa sampled and will serve as a resource for plant breeders, ecologists, and systematists. Mahonia „Soft Caress‟ is a unique new cultivar exhibiting a compact form and delicate evergreen leaves, though propagation can be a limiting factor for production. Micropropagation protocols for M. „Soft Caress‟ were developed to expedite multiplication and serve as a foundation for future work with other Mahonia taxa.
