Native Herbaceous Perennials and Ferns for Shade Gardens
Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NATIVE HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS AND FERNS FOR � SHADE GARDENS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA � Native plants are species that existed in Virginia before Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. They are uniquely adapted to local conditions. Native plants provide food and shelter for a myriad of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Best of all, gardeners can feel the satisfaction of preserving a part of our natural heritage while enjoying the beauty of native plants in the garden. Hardy herbaceous perennials form little or no woody tissue and live for several years. Some of these plants are short-lived and may live only three years, such as wild columbine, while others can live for decades. They are a group of plants that gardeners are very passionate about because of their lovely foliage and flowers, as well as their wide variety of textures, forms, and heights. Most of these plants are deciduous and die back to the ground in the winter. Ferns, in contrast, have no flowers but grace our gardens with their beautiful foliage. Herbaceous perennials and ferns are a joy to garden with because they are easily moved to create new design combinations and provide an ever-changing scene in the garden. They are appropriate for a wide range of shade gardens, from more formal gardens to naturalistic woodland gardens. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) – a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Bride’. -

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment. -
Wild Strawberries NPSO Citizen's Rare Plant Watch
VOLUME 18, NUMBER 1 OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 2012 NPSO Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch: Wild Strawberries Hunting for rare species in Oregon by Aaron Liston by Erin Gray Considering its familiarity, it is easy to overlook the fact Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt? How about a search that the edible strawberry is a botanical oddity. In most for a rare plant that hasn’t been documented since the early plants, the fleshy part of the edible structure is derived 1900’s? In June, that is what the Native Plant Society of from the ovary, and this fits the botanical definition of a Oregon (NPSO) Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch volunteers fruit. Thus despite the fact that the US Supreme Court set out to do: search for a historical occurrence of the rare ruled in 1893 that the tomato is legally a vegetable (http:// Erigeron howellii (Howell’s daisy) in the Columbia River en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden) to a botanist, it will Gorge. Within ten minutes of hiking we passed a small always be a fruit. I am certain if asked, the Supreme Court waterfall and as we approached, we noticed a member of would also decree that the strawberry is a fruit. At least the Saxifragaceae covering the cliff directly under the falls. this is partially correct. We do eat fruits when we ingest a This turned out to be a previously undocumented occurrence strawberry, but it is definitely not a berry! The fruits are the of the rare Sullivantia oregana (Oregon coolwort)! We small achenes (dry one-seeded fruits) that are scattered on pulled out our data sheets and began collecting data on the the surface of the tasty, red receptacle (the vegetative tissue population including location, a count of individuals, habitat from which the floral organs originate). -
Hummingbird Gardening for Wisconsin Gardeners Using Native Plants
HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING FOR WISCONSIN GARDENERS USING NATIVE PLANTS “The hummingbird is seen to stop thus some instants before a flower, and dart off like a gleam to another; it visits them all, plunging its little tongue into their bosom, caressing them with its wings, without ever settling, but at the same time ever quitting them.” W.C.L. Martin, General History of Hummingbirds, Circa 1840. KEY ELEMENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL HUMMINGBIRD GARDEN A “Wildscape” Filled With Native Plants Loved By Hummingbirds With Something in Bloom All Season Long! Well-Maintained Hummingbird Feeders from April through October (with no instant nectar or red food coloring) Cover, Perching & Preening Spots (trees & shrubs with dense, tiny branches for perching, shepherd’s hooks, tree snags, brush piles) Inclusion of Water Feature---water should be very shallow and feature should include waterfall and dripper and/or misting device to keep water moving and fresh Use of Hummingbird Beacons (red ribbons, metallic streamers, gazing ball, or any red object near feeders and flowers, especially in early spring!) NATIVE HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING & WILDSCAPING TIPS Plant Red or Orange Tubular Flowers with no fragrance (although some flowers of other colors can also be highly attractive to hummingbirds) Use Native Plants, Wildflowers & Single Flowers Plants with Many Small Blossoms Pointing Sideways or Down Use Plants With Long Bloom Period Use Plants that Bloom Profusely During August & September Create Mass Plantings (not just a single plant) of Flowers that are Hummingbird Favorites Eliminate or Greatly Decrease the Use of Turf Grass to Create a Natural Hummingbird and Wild Bird Habitat (native groundcovers can be used in place of turf grass if desired) Use Natural and/or Organic Mulches (Pine Needles, Leaves, Bark) Whenever Possible Height of Plants should be Tall, not Short (or utilize hanging baskets or large containers for shorter plants)---remember, hummingbirds are birds of the air and not the ground. -

Manners b, B.L. Stegelmeier a, S. Lee a, D.R. Gardner a, M.H. Ralphs a, J.A. Pfister a, L.F. James a a USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research Laboratory, 1150 E. 1400 N., Logan, UT 84341, USA b USDA-ARS Western Regional Research Center, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA 94710, USA Received 4 January 2001; accepted 1 May 2001 Abstract Systematic approaches to taxonomic classifications of the tall larkspur spp. have been developed using traditional chemical methods to profile alkaloids, comparison of relative tox- icity of individual alkaloids, plant morphology/taxonomy and molecular genetics. Using these methods (papers published in this series) toxicology of three distinct species of tall larkspurs including Delphinium glaucum, Delphinium barbeyi and Delphinium occidentale is described. Tall larkspurs (Delphinium spp.) continue to be the most serious cause of cattle losses on mountain rangelands in the western US. Over 40 norditerpenoid alkaloids have been reported in species of larkspurs and toxicology data on 25 of these have been reported by the authors. These alkaloids can be classified into three general types based on their structural character- istics and toxicity: the N-(methylsuccinyl) anthranoyllycoctonine (MSAL)-type, having high toxicity; the lycoctonine-type, with moderate toxicity; and the 7,8-methylenedioxylycoctonine (MDL)-type, of low toxicity. The structural importance of the methylsuccinimido anthranilic acid ester group at the C18 position is evident in the high toxicity of MSAL alkaloids, parti- cularly methyllycaconitine (MLA), Nudicauline (NUD) and 14-deacetylnudicauline (14-DAN). -

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2. -
