Think ‘All Gold’ for full sun. Salvia nemorosa ‘Sixteen Candles’ PPAF has less branched upright flowers. ‘Heaven Scent’ will become our fifth Proven Winners perennial. The pink color flowers gets backed up by purple and violet calyxs and stems adding depth and contrast. Sedum Our top selling introductions were Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’, Allium x ‘Windy City’, Andropogon album ‘Nerds’ is a great groundcover and has interesting orange to russet red color in winter into spring. Sedum gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ and ‘Red October’, and Penstemon digitalis ‘Pocahontas’ which sold out for the sexangulare ‘Yellowstone’ PPAF is a more robust and bright improvement on ‘Golddigger’. I’m pleased Sedum first time since we introduced it in 2012 and will be featured on QVC along with Rudbeckia x ‘American x ‘Pride and Joy’ PPAF will become our fourth Proven Winners perennial. It’s a deeper pink sport of ‘Pure Joy’ Gold Rush’, which is really exciting. and has the same great dome shaped habit, 1’ tall by 15-20” wide. Finally, Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Queen of Diamonds’ was selected for extra clean, dark green foliage.

Dianthus x ‘Fuchsia Fire’ PPAF is the first plant introduction from breeder Jake Letmanski who I’ve been lucky enough to mentor since he joined our team in 2017 at 15 years old. This has all the great attributes of ‘Firewitch’ but is half the size and has Kahori in its background which helps its sporadic rebloom. Matting silver plants spread Brent Horvath- Breeder instead of opening up in the middle. A portion of the royalty will go to Jake as he pursues horticulture in college fall of 2020. Eupatorium x ‘Polished Brass’ is an absolute pollinator and butterfly magnet. The 4’ tall hybrid plants emerge with glossy bronze red foliage and bloom like a cloud in August with creamy white flowers. For p Our Breeding Philosophy P the future we have Joe pye weed with purple foliage. Our plants are bred and selected in the tough conditions of the Midwest with hot humid summers and cold wet winters. We strive to breed plants not as a means, but with an end in mind. Our goals are simple- improved, durable, ornamental garden plants for our own climate and the rest of the world! Our plants are bred to stand the test of time, if they don’t survive or thrive in the garden why bother. a 2 On the cover: Amsonia x ‘Bases Loaded’ d3 Intrinsic Introductions Intrinsic Introductions Genus species Variety/Color COMMON NAME Genus species Variety/Color COMMON NAME Agastache x Velvet Crush PP#29,394 Anise Hyssop Liatris spicata Trailblazer Blazing Star / Gayfeather Allium cernuum Falling Stars - white Nodding Onion Molinia arundinacea Dutch Dreamer Tall Moor Grass Allium cernuum Wine Drop Nodding Onion Monarda x Mojo PP#29,982 Bee Balm Allium schoenoprasum Rising Star Dwarf Chives Orostachys x Octopus Garden strain Chinese Dunce Caps Allium x Chivette PP#30,151 Ornamental Onion Panicum virgatum Prairie Dog PPAF Switch Grass Allium x Windy City PP#28,100 Ornamental Onion Parthenocissus tricuspidata Grand Slam Boston Ivy Amsonia tabernaemontana Fontana Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Ginger Love PP#26,442 Ginger Love Fountain Grass Amsonia tabernaemontana Short Stop Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Love and Rockets PPAF Dwarf Fountain Grass Amsonia x Bases Loaded Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Piglet PP#19,074 Dwarf Fountain Grass Amsonia x First Hit Baseball Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Red Head Red Head Fountain Grass Amsonia x Halfway to Arkansas Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Red Rocket PP#28,715 Red Rocket Fountain Grass Amsonia x Midway to Montana Bluestar Pennisetum alopecuroides Yellow Ribbons PP#31,362 Golden Fountain Grass Amsonia x Seventh Inning Stretch Baseball Bluestar Penstemon digitalis Pocahontas PP#24,804 Beardtongue Andropogon gerardii Blackhawks PP#27,949 Big Bluestem Polemonium x Heaven Scent PP#20,214 Jacobs Ladder Andropogon gerardii Dancing Wind PP#26,892 Big Bluestem Polygonatum x Prince Charming PP#22,304 Dwarf Solomon’s Seal Andropogon gerardii Indian Warrior PP#24,999 Big Bluestem Prunella vulgaris Magdalena PPAF Selfheal Andropogon gerardii Red October PP#26,283 Big Bluestem Rudbeckia x American Gold Rush PP#28,498 Black Eyed Susan Bouteloua gracilis Honey Blonde PPAF Blue Grama Rudbeckia x Glitters Like Gold PP#30,933 Black Eyed Susan Carex pensylvanica Straw Hat PP#29,432 Penn Sedge Salvia elegans Golden Delicious PP#17,977 Golden Pineapple Sage Delosperma x Mountain Dew PPAF Ice Plant Salvia nemorosa Lurie strain Perennial Salvia Delosperma x Orange Crush PP#30,806 Ice Plant Salvia nemerosa Pink Wesuwe Meadow Sage Dianthus x Fuchsia Fire PPAF Pinks Salvia nemorosa Sixteen Candles PPAF Meadow Sage Echinacea purpurea Deep Pink Showoff Purple Coneflower Schyzachrium scoparium Jazz Little Bluestem Echinacea purpurea Showoff Purple Coneflower Sedum album Big Rock Stonecrop Echinacea purpurea White Showoff White Coneflower Sedum album Nerds Stonecrop Eryngium yuccifolium Prairie Moon Dwarf Rattlesnake Master Sedum (Phedimus) ellacombianum Cutting Edge PP#28,926 Stonecrop Eupatorium perfoliatum Milk and Cookies Boneset Sedum sexangulare Golddigger Stonecrop Eupatorium x Polished Brass Boneset Sedum sexangulare Yellowstone PPAF Stonecrop Festuca x Cool as Ice PP#27,651 Cool Blue Fescue Sedum spurium Red Rock Two Row Stonecrop Geum x Alabama Slammer PP#23,750 Garden Gems Sedum x Beka USPP#18,398 Autumn Delight™ Geum x Banana Daiquiri PP#25,351 Garden Gems Sedum x Bundle of Joy PPAF Showy Stonecrop Geum x Champagne Garden Gems Sedum x Lajos USPP# 14,421 Autumn Charm™ Geum x Cherry Bomb PPAF Garden Gems Sedum x Lime Joy PPAF Showy Stonecrop Geum x Citronge PP#28,893 Garden Gems Sedum x Peace and Joy PP#30,858 Showy Stonecrop Geum x Coppertone Punch PP#28,376 Garden Gems Sedum x Pillow Talk PP#28,528 Showy Stonecrop Geum x Cosmopolitan PP#24,982 Garden Gems Sedum x Pride and Joy PPAF Showy Stonecrop Geum x Gimlet PP#26,223 Garden Gems Sedum x Pure Joy PP#24,194 Showy Stonecrop Geum x Mai Tai PP#22,433 Garden Gems Sedum x Rock Star PP#29,036 Showy Stonecrop Geum x Sangria Garden Gems Sedum x Sunset Boulevard PPAF Showy Stonecrop Geum x Sea Breeze PP#26,437 Garden Gems Sedum x Thundercloud PP#21,833 Showy Stonecrop Geum x Solid Gold Dancer PP#29,656 Garden Gems Stachys x Summer Crush PP#29,899 Betony Geum x Tequila Sunrise PP#21,514 Garden Gems Stachys x Summer Romance PP#30,243 Betony Geum x Top Shelf Margarita PP#30,670 Garden Gems Vernonia x Southern Cross Ironweed Geum x Wet Kiss PP#27,227 Garden Gems Veronica incana Pure Silver Wooly Speedwell Hemerocallis x On Top Daylily Veronica x Good Night Irene Spike Speedwell Hosta x Hasta Mañana PP#30,157 Hosta Veronica x Kiss the Sky PPAF Spike Speedwell Lamium maculatum Ghost Lamium Veronica x Spike PP#27,814 Spike Speedwell Leucanthemum superbum Daisy Duke PP#21,914 Dasiy May® Veronicastrum virginicum Queen of Diamonds Culver’s Root Liatris ligulistylis Butterfly Magnet Meadow Blazing Star a 4 New plants for 2020 are shown in blue.

Ali1, Dirk C. Albach2 1Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Fayoum University, 63514 Fayoum, Egypt. 2Institute of biology and environmental sciences, Carl von Ossietzky-University, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Veronica species mostly occur in damp fresh water places and in the Mediterranean precipitation regime. Members of this genus grow at different altitudes from sea level to high alpine elevations. They show a high level of polymorphism and phenotypic plasticity in their responses to variations of the enviromental factors, a quality that allows them to occur over a wide range of conditions. A group with particular high levels of polymorphism is the group of aquatic Veronica L. species in V. sect. Beccabunga (Hill) Dumort. Here, we attempt to unravel some confusion in the taxonomic complexity in V. section Beccabunga. We recognize 20 taxa in V. sect. Beccabunga and explore the occurrence of V. section Beccabunga, mainly in the Mediterranean basin; especially in Egypt (Nile delta and Sinai), Turkey and Iran with each country containing 10 taxa, from a total of 20 taxa, and characterized by endemics, or near-endemic as Veronica anagalloides ssp. taeckholmiorum.The results confirmed that V. section Beccabunga is divided into three subsections Beccabunga, Anagallides and Peregrinae, which essentially can be differentiated by the absence or presence of apetiole. Keywords: Morphological key, systematic treatment, Veronica, V. section Beccabunga Introduction The tribe Veroniceae, formerly part of the genus include: life-form (subshrubby/perennial vs.

  • Botany for the Herbalist Common Plant Families 7Song, Director Northeast School of Botanical Medicine 7Song.Com
    Botany for the Herbalist Common Plant Families 7Song, Director Northeast School of Botanical Medicine 7Song.com This handout describes common plant families in the US and Canada. Each family segment contains general characteristics of the family as well as some of the more commonly known species within. In some families such as the Liliaceae, the genera of the plants are still in transition and being placed in newly created families. In other families such as the Scrophulariaceae, some of the former genera have been placed into different already existing families. Within this handout they are generally kept in the older family grouping with the new family identified next to the genus. Field botany is the study of identifying plants and grouping them into categories based on shared anatomical characteristics. Much of this is based on their reproductive parts, especially their flowers. One of the most useful starting points to identify specific plants in the field is by knowing their plant families. Families are a useful category to understand, as plants within them may share obvious traits both botanical (anatomical similarities) and other qualities such as aromatics. As far as medicinal characteristics within a family, there are generally more exceptions to shared traits than similarities in uses. An example showing both sides this is the Apiaceae. This family includes many aromatic, flavorful plants such as Dill, Fennel, and Angelica but also Poison hemlock (Conium), a notoriously poisonous plant. Another example is the Liliaceae with edible foods such as garlic, onion and asparagus but also the toxic Veratrum and Lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria).

Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales.

Here, we use a modelling approach to evaluate the phylogenetic conservatism; hypothesis that nectar sucrose proportion (NSP) is an adaptation to pollina- phylogenetic constraint; tors. We analyse ~ 2100 species of asterids, spanning several plant families pollination syndrome; and pollinator groups (PGs), and show that the hypothesis of adaptation sucrose. cannot be rejected: NSP evolves towards two optimal values, high NSP for specialist-pollinated and low NSP for generalist-pollinated plants. However, the inferred adaptive process is weak, suggesting that adaptation to PG only provides a partial explanation for how nectar evolves. Additional factors are therefore needed to fully explain nectar evolution, and we suggest that future studies might incorporate floral shape and size and the abiotic envi- ronment into the analytical framework.
