  • Black-Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia Fulgida Var
    Black-eyed Susan - Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’ A favorite summertime flower, the Black-eyed Susan, with its bright, golden-yellow flowers, produces a ‘gold storm’ of blooms in gardens everywhere. Selected by the Perennial Plant Association as the 1999 Perennial of the Year, this rudbeckia has been acclaimed internationally as one of the most popular perennials for the past fifty years. produces masses of golden color all summer long. It can be one of the most important flowers in the perennial garden. A member of the huge aster or composite family, they typically stay in a basil rosette their first year. Then during the second year produce upright, branching stems with orange-gold flowers. The rough- textured leaves are diamond shaped, and the plant produces erect, bristly stems about thirty-six inches tall. It’s significant compact habit produces long-blooming flowers, and is low maintenance. This spectacular perennial tolerates poor clay soils and mild droughts, but grows best in well- drained and moist soil with regular watering. However, it will not tolerate soggy soils. It is a rhizomatous perennial (spreads by rhizomes, making large clumps) with crowded, branching stems. ‘Goldsturm’ performs as well in the high heat and humidity of Houston, as well as tolerate the arid, cold winters of Amarillo. This Black-eyed Susan is at home in the naturalized, semi-wild garden, used as a border, or even a non-invasive ground cover with full sun to light shade. Plants have minimal blooms the first season unless they undergo cold treatment (vernalization). The long, strong stems make this orange coneflower ideal for cutting.

  • Rudbeckia Fulgida (Orange Coneflower) Botanical Bytes by Bruner by Gregory Bruner
    Rudbeckia fulgida (Orange Coneflower) Botanical Bytes by Bruner By Gregory Bruner Foliage Height: 18-36” Foliage Width: 18-36” Flower Height: 24-36” Foliage Color: Green Flower Color: Yellow USDA Hardiness: 3-8 Moisture: Average Light: Full Sun – Part Sun Rudbeckia fulgida is native to most of the Eastern United States. Cold hardiness is not an issue with this leafy family member, allowing it to be happy down to zone 3. The small rosette of leaves is evergreen but not showy enough to make much of a display during the winter. This species of Rudbeckia is named for Olof Rudbeck the Elder, a Swedish botanist from the 17th century. If we translate fulgida from Latin, it means shining, gleaming, or glittering. These are wonderful adjectives to describe the glowing show of the flowers, which starts mid summer and lasts through fall. Because the Rudbeckia family has many visually similar members, common names can get a bit confusing. Rudbeckia fulgida is often called Black-eyed Susan like its cousin Rudbeckia hirta, but Orange Coneflower is a better description because its yellow flower petals have a bit more orange in them than hirta’s. This member of the Rudbeckia family is very adaptable, allowing it to tolerate a wide range of soil types. The masses of glowing Rudbeckia seen around town and in yards are usually the cultivar “Goldsturm”. Goldsturm was named perennial of the year in 1999 and since then has proven itself to be a garden mainstay. It thrives in well-drained average garden situations that possess partial to full sun conditions.

  • Clasping Coneflower (Dracopis Amplexicaulis)
    Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Guide Clasping coneflower Dracopis amplexicaulis (Vahl) Cass Plant Symbol = DRAM Common Names: Clasping-leaf coneflower, coneflower (Diggs et. al, 1999) Scientific Names: (Synonym) Rudbeckia amplexicaulis Vahl. (Diggs et. al, 1999) Description General: Clasping coneflower is a native, warm season, annual forb in the Asteraceae family (Missouri Botanical Garden, 2019). Clasping coneflower grows 12 to 28 inches (30 to 71 cm) tall. It arises from a solitary stem which branches out about half way up the plant (Fig.1). The alternately arranged, oblong, glaucous leaves are 1.75 to 4 inches (4 to 10 cm) long. The leaves, at their base, wrap around the stems (Fig.1). This distinctive leaf characteristic is the origin of the species name derived from two Latin words; amplexus meaning ‘encircling’ and caulis meaning ‘stem’. Clasping coneflower blooms in late spring and early Figure 1. Clasping coneflower in bloom. Photo: East summer. The yellow ray flowers or “petals” are similar in appearance to Texas Plant Materials Center, Nacogdoches, TX black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) and droop as the flowers mature. The flowerhead is up to two inches in diameter with a black center cone 0.5 to 1.25 inches (1 to 3 cm) high. (Ajilvsgi, 2003). The seeds are small, approximately 5/64” long (2 mm), elliptical in shape, with a wrinkled appearance (USDA NRCS, 2019) (Fig.2). Distribution: Clasping coneflower is the only member of the Dracopis genus in North America (Diggs et al., 1999). It is found in the southeastern United States from Georgia to Texas and north into Missouri and Kansas (Missouri Botanical Garden, 2019).

  • How to Attract Hummingbirds
    info # 36 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HOW TO ATTRACT HUMMINGBIRDS Hummingbirds love nectar-rich flowering plants with bright red, orange or red-orange tubular-shaped blossoms, but will visit flowers of any color. Keep in mind that using pesticides eliminates garden insects that hummingbirds rely upon for protein. Plant nectar provides instant energy and insect prey provides protein for muscle growth. As these tiny birds feed on nectar plants they also pollinate the blossoms. Hummingbirds require seven times their body weight in nectar daily, so adding a nectar feeder filled with sugar solution will help lure these energetic little birds into your garden. By planting a succession of nectar flowers, shrubs and trees that will bloom from spring to fall, you can give hummingbirds a continual source of food through the seasons. It is also a good idea to provide convenient places for them to nest and perch, and a water source. Just like other birds, hummers love water, so providing water in a shallow bird bath, and especially through a mister or dripper (available at bird stores) will help to attract hummers and other birds too.

  • Mullins Hankins 2906-1331
    ADDING CUT FLOWERS MAY INCREASE PROFITS Andy Hankins, Extension Specialist-Alternative Agriculture - Virginia State University Reviewed by Chris Mullins, Virginia State University 2018 Vegetable growers who sell produce at farmers' markets, at roadside stands, to restaurants and to local supermarkets may find that they can bring in additional income by adding fresh cut flowers to the inventory of products they sell. A number of benefits can be gained from adding cut flowers to a vegetable marketing operation. Cut flowers add diversity. Customers at roadside stands and at farmers markets like to have many choices. The brilliant colors of a 1/4-acre plot of cut flowers growing beside a roadside stand certainly add visual appeal to potential customers coming down the highway. Restaurant managers need fresh cut flowers for table arrangements. They may be just as interested in buying flowers as they are in buying vegetables. All supermarkets now offer sleeved bunches of fresh cut flowers in glass front coolers in their produce sections. Those store managers need flower growers who can deliver sleeved bunches ready for sale. Many growers who interplant rows of cut flowers among rows of vegetables have noticed a reduction in damage to their vegetable crops by pest insects. The flower crops often harbor populations of beneficial predatory and parasitic insects that control the pest species. Production of cut flowers requires many of the same resources as production of vegetables such as irrigation, transplanting equipment, cultivators, etc. The greatest conflict between these two enterprises occurs in the walk-in cooler. Vegetables like broccoli give off ethylene gas, which can cause severe damage to blooming flowers.

  • Additions to the New Flora of Vermont
    Gilman, A.V. Additions to the New Flora of Vermont. Phytoneuron 2016-19: 1–16. Published 3 March 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ADDITIONS TO THE NEW FLORA OF VERMONT ARTHUR V. GILMAN Gilman & Briggs Environmental 1 Conti Circle, Suite 5, Barre, Vermont 05641 [email protected] ABSTRACT Twenty-two species of vascular plants are reported for the state of Vermont, additional to those reported in the recently published New Flora of Vermont. These are Agrimonia parviflora, Althaea officinalis , Aralia elata , Beckmannia syzigachne , Bidens polylepis , Botrychium spathulatum, Carex panicea , Carex rostrata, Eutrochium fistulosum , Ficaria verna, Hypopitys lanuginosa, Juncus conglomeratus, Juncus diffusissimus, Linum striatum, Lipandra polysperma , Matricaria chamomilla, Nabalus racemosus, Pachysandra terminalis, Parthenocissus tricuspidata , Ranunculus auricomus , Rosa arkansana , and Rudbeckia sullivantii. Also new are three varieties: Crataegus irrasa var. irrasa , Crataegus pruinosa var. parvula , and Viola sagittata var. sagittata . Three species that have been reported elsewhere in 2013–2015, Isoetes viridimontana, Naias canadensis , and Solidago brendiae , are also recapitulated. This report and the recently published New Flora of Vermont (Gilman 2015) together summarize knowledge of the vascular flora of Vermont as of this date. The New Flora of Vermont was recently published by The New York Botanical Garden Press (Gilman 2015). It is the first complete accounting of the vascular flora of Vermont since 1969 (Seymour 1969) and adds more than 200 taxa to the then-known flora of the state. However, the manuscript for the New Flora was finalized in spring 2013 and additional species are now known: those that have been observed more recently, that have been recently encountered (or re-discovered) in herbaria, or that were not included because they were under study at the time of finalization.

  • Invasive Plants in the Flora of Mureş County
    SĂMĂRGHIŢAN MIHAELA, OROIAN SILVIA J. Plant Develop. 19(2012): 131-140 INVASIVE PLANTS IN THE FLORA OF MUREŞ COUNTY SĂMĂRGHIŢAN MIHAELA1, OROIAN SILVIA2 Abstract: Invasive plants are those species that are capable of rapidly spreading at great distances from parent plants. Because of them, agriculture pays a huge annual tribute. These invasive plants might shortly become the most widely spread and destructive, as they seem to take best advantage from climate changes. They have a high phytocoenological competition capacity and rapidly adapt to new life conditions to the detriment of native plants. This paper aims to inform of the phenomenon of invasion of these alien plants, of their distribution and abundance in certain areas in Mureş County. If the monitoring of invasive plants receives particular international attention, in the Mureş County there is no concern for monitoring their invasion, for limiting their negative effects on the environment and human economy. The most rapacious and common invasive plants in the studied territory are presented in the paper. Because these species already occupy extremely large surfaces, the measures for fighting them are difficult and costly, and long-term measures for their control and elimination are required. Key words: invasive plants, flora, Mureş County Introduction Invasive species are an increasing major threat to indigenous biodiversity in Europe and worldwide. Plant invasions are mainly caused by the intensification of economic branches such as transportation, trade, tourism, on the one hand, and by biological factors (absence of limiting factors) and climatological changes, on the other hand [ANASTASIU & NEGREAN, 2007; EASTWOOD, 2001]. Adventive plants are spontaneous or subspontaneous plants whose presence in a certain area is due to their accidental or intentional introduction as a result of human activity [RICHARDSON & al.
