Twenty-five people attended, of whom twenty were new visitors to the garden. The walk was led by two members of the local botany group. The short route started from the entrance of Bohemia Walled Garden, turning left on the footpath and up to Prospect Mound. It then followed the footpath down to the wet area (taking in the mock Roman Bath), then up the footpath to higher ground and returning to the Walled Garden.

    Flowers of Italy's Gargano Peninsula Naturetrek Tour Report 25 April - 2 May 2016 Convolvulus althaeoidess Scenic views A reflection of Peschici Ophrys parviflora Report and images by Andrew Cleave Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Flowers of Italy's Gargano Peninsula Tour participants: Andrew Cleave & Luca Boscain (leaders) with 11 Naturetrek clients Summary Our week-long exploration of the “Orchid Capital of Europe” followed the well-established pattern set in previous years, visiting many of the top botanical sites of the Gargano Peninsula, plus many more of the less well-known spots discovered on our earlier trips which are rarely visited by other groups. We had a week of mostly pleasant sunny weather with only one or two spells of rain, but this did not stop us from visiting any of the important habitats. We started on the flat coastal area north of Bari, visiting some salt pans and a deserted beach where we had some excellent birdwatching and found a few unusual coastal plants, and then headed into the hills for the rest of our stay. Our base in the historic hill-top town of Monte Sant’Angelo enabled us to reach some superb orchid habitats, and we also had time to check out the grassy slopes behind the hotel, and explore the town itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The latter part of the week was spent in the charming seaside town of Peschici, in the family-run Hotel Elisa located on the harbour.

    Buzzword Members’ newsletter - March 2017 - Issue 33 Saving the sound of summer Bee the revolution and save the sound of summer bumblebeeconservation.org 1 Bee the revolution Those of us besotted by bumblebees, know how vital they are. They have an intrinsic value as well as the much stated economic value, (estimated at £691 million per year to the UK economy). Our members, volunteers and staff are united around the shared purpose of ensuring their existence and conservation. But we need more people to understand, enjoy and cherish our bumblebees, that’s why at the AGM in December I urged everyone in the room to ‘Bee the Revolution’. Photo: Thalia Brown, Together we can ensure our bumblebees flourish. Reversing the Buff-tailed bumblebee trend in their declines, needs a concerted effort by all of us who (Bombus terrestris) are passionate about them. “ Please help by asking friends and family to join the Trust. We can do even MORE to help bumblebees with more supporters. Spread the word, ‘bee the revolution’ and together, we can ‘save the sound of summer’. Thank you. Gill Perkins, CEO You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.

  • Seedling Establishment, Bud Movement, and Subterranean Diversity of Geophilous Systems in Apiaceae
    Flora (2002) 197, 385–393 http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/flora Seedling establishment, bud movement, and subterranean diversity of geophilous systems in Apiaceae Norbert Pütz1* & Ina Sukkau2 1 Institute of Nature Conservation and Environmental Education, University of Vechta, Driverstr. 22, D-49377 Vechta, Germany 2 Institute of Botany, RWTH Aachen, Germany * author for correspondence: e-mail: [email protected] Received: Nov 29, 2001 · Accepted: Jun 10, 2002 Summary Geophilous systems of plants are not only regarded as organs of underground storage. Such systems also undergo a large range of modifications in order to fulfill other ‚cryptical‘ functions, e.g. positioning of innovation buds, vegetative cloning, and vege- tative dispersal. Seedlings should always be the point of departure for any investigation into the structure of geophilous systems. This is because in the ability to survive of geophilous plants it is of primary importance that innovation buds can reach a safe position in the soil by the time the first period hostile to vegetation commences. Our analysis of such systems thus focused on examining the development of 34 species of the Apiaceae, beginning with their germination. Independent of life-form and life-span, all species exhibit noticeable terminal bud movement with the aid of contractile organs. Movement was found to be at least 5 mm, reaching a maximum of 45 mm. All species exhibit a noticeable contraction of the primary root. In most cases the contraction phenomenon also occurs in the hypocotyl, and some species show contraction of their lateral and / or adventitious roots. Analysis of movement shows the functional importance of pulling the inno- vation buds down into the soil.

  • Scottish Bees
    Scottish Bees Introduction to bees Bees are fascinating insects that can be found in a broad range of habitats from urban gardens to grasslands and wetlands. There are over 270 species of bee in the UK in 6 families - 115 of these have been recorded in Scotland, with 4 species now thought to be extinct and insufficient data available for another 2 species. Bees are very diverse, varying in size, tongue-length and flower preference. In the UK we have 1 species of honey bee, 24 species of bumblebee and the rest are solitary bees. They fulfil an essential ecological and environmental role as one of the most significant groups of pollinating insects, all of which we depend upon for the pollination of 80% of our wild and cultivated plants. Some flowers are in fact designed specifically for bee pollination, to the exclusion of generalist pollinators. Bees and their relatives Bees are classified in the complex insect order Hymenoptera (meaning membrane-winged), which also includes many kinds of parasitic wasps, gall wasps, hunting wasps, ants and sawflies. There are about 150,000 species of Hymenoptera known worldwide separated into two sub-orders. The first is the most primitive sub-order Symphyta which includes the sawflies and their relatives, lacking a wasp-waist and generally with free-living caterpillar-like larvae. The second is the sub-order Apocrita, which includes the ants, bees and wasps which are ’wasp-waisted’ and have grub-like larvae that develop within hosts, galls or nests. The sub-order Apocrita is in turn divided into two sections, the Parasitica and Aculeata.

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

  • Wild Chervil Factsheet
    K. Weller FACTSHEET APRIL 2019 Wild Chervil Anthriscus sylvestris About Wild Chervil Native to Europe, Wild Chervil is thought to have been introduced through wildflower seed mixes. It will take over many habitats, but particularly thrives in wet, disturbed soil. It is very difficult to remove because of its long taproot and tendency to grow near bodies of water, which make many herbicides unusable. Wild Chervil competes with native plants species and hay crops, harming both the economy and environment. Legal Status Noxious Weed (Regional), BC Weed Control Act S. Dewey, Bugwood.org Fruits: Each flower produces two joined seeds about 6-7mm in length. They are smooth, shiny and dark brown. Similar Species: There are a few species that can easily be confused with Wild chervil. Some include Bur Chervil (Anthriscus caucalis), Rough Chervil (Chaerophyllum temulum) Wild chervil Daucus carota Anthriscus sylvestris and Queen Anne’s lace ( ). Bur chervil can be Code = WI n = 1246 IAPP July 2017 easily distinguished from Wild chervil by its rounder and lighter Sites per 10km block squares 1-10 green leaves. Rough Chervil can be distinguished by the purple 11-20 spots on its stem. Queen Anne’s lace can be distinguished by its 21-50 unique reddish-purple flower found in the center of its umbel of 51-100 white flowers. Over 100 0 200km 400km Ecological Characteristics Distribution Habitat: Prefers wet to moist disturbed sites such as pastures, fields, roadsides, and fence lines. Will grow in a variety of soils but Wild Chervil is mostly distributed throughout the southern prefers low to mid elevation.
