Hyacinth Planting Guide About Hyacinth Hyacinth originated in Turkey. In the 1500's, traders brought them back to Europe. Later they were introduced into the United States. Hyacinth bulbs are perennial, fall-planted bulbs that are quite easy to establish provided you are careful to remember a few easy steps. When to Plant Bulbs should be planted before the beginning of winter. Plant the bulbs a few weeks before the ground freezes. This gives the bulb time to establish a root system. Where to Plant Choose a sunny to partially shaded site that contains well-draining soil. Standing water is the death knell of hyacinth bulbs. If you don't have quality soil, we suggest amending the soil with rich soil. How to Plant For best results, plant each bulb roughly 6 inches deep with the pointed end up. A typical spacing is about 6 inches apart, but feel free to plant more compactly for a denser effect. For the biggest plants and blooms, place a little fertilizer in the hole during planting. Once planted, water the hyacinth bulbs fully in order to help the root system become established as fall progresses. Caring for Hyacinth Hyacinths are mid-spring bloomers and are particularly noted for a long blooming cycle lasting usually a month or more. During the late summer or fall as the plant dies, remove unwanted foliage. If left undisturbed, your hyacinth should repeat their colorful and fragrant spring performance year after year. You may dig up the bulbs after a couple years then separate and replant them..

Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

Year of the Hyacinth Flyer
Celebrate the Year of the Hyacinth! Hyacinths are spring-flowering bulbs that are treasured by gardeners for their heavenly fragrance. Overview and History Flower lovers began cultivating hyacinths more than 400 years ago. During the 18th century, they were the most popular spring bulbs in the world, and Dutch growers offered more than 2000 named cultivars. Today, there are less than 50 cultivars in commercial production, but the hyacinth’s beauty and sweet perfume are as enchanting as ever. Commonly called Dutch hyacinths or garden hyacinths, they are hybrids of a single species (Hyacinthus orientalis) that grows wild in Turkey, Syria, and other areas in the eastern Mediterranean. Basic Types and Variety Names Today’s garden hyacinths look very different from the wild species. After centuries of breeding, they have taller flower spikes and much larger, mostly double florets that are tightly packed along the stem. Each hyacinth bulb produces a single 8 to 12″ tall flower stalk and 4 to 6 strappy leaves. The blossoms open in mid- spring, at the same time as daffodils and early tulips. Hyacinths come in rich, saturated colors. The most popular cultivars are shades of purple and blue, which include Blue Jacket (royal blue), Delft Blue (cerulean), and Aida (violet-blue). Other colors are equally lovely and suggest lots of creative pairings. These include Woodstock (burgundy), Jan Bos (hot pink), Aiolos (white), Gypsy Queen (peach), and City of Haarlem (pale yellow). Garden Tips for Hyacinths: Plant hyacinth bulbs where it will be easy to enjoy their fragrance: near a doorway, along a garden path, or at the front edge of a flower border.

Bulb Garden Care Please Read All Instructions Before Proceeding
Bulb Garden Care Please read all instructions before proceeding. Our pre-planted bulbs are stored in coolers under complete darkness to prepare them for indoor bloom. Because they are stored in the dark, their sprouts may be yellow and somewhat bent upon arrival. Once you place them in bright light, the sprouts will straighten and turn a healthy green in a few days. Care Upon Arrival Open the box immediately to allow air circulation. If you cannot care for your plants for a day or two after arrival, place the open box in a cool, dark, non- freezing location. NOTE: Your bulbs may arrive frozen. Freezing does not harm spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips, crocus, hyacinths and narcissus. Place your bulb garden in a room-temperature location where it can thaw slowly. Handle your plants very carefully so that you don't damage any tender new sprouts while removing the packing material. To make it easier to monitor soil moisture, we suggest removing any protective moss covering upon arrival. You may wish to leave a light layer of moss around the plants for decoration. If the soil is dry when plants arrive, remove the pot from the decorative container and water it well to moisten the soil. Allow the pot to drain thoroughly before placing it back into in the decorative container. Growing and Maintenance Place the Bulb Garden in a cool, brightly lit location, ideally no more than 2' to 3' from a window or under bright artificial light. Temperatures between 60 to 65º F are best. Plants grow more compactly and blooms last longer in cool temperatures.

This research aimed to investigate the anthocyanins profiles in the grape hyacinth (Muscari neglectum Guss. ex Ten.). Materials and methods: The identification of individual anthocyanins was carried using the method of high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (DAD-ESI-MS) analysis. Chromatographic separation and tandem mass spectrometric analyses were performed on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system and Agilent 6410 triple quadrupole system equipped with an electrospray ion source (ESI) in positive ion mode. Results: In the M. neglectum flowers (tepals), nine individual anthocyanins, containing delphinidin, petunidin, malvidine, pelargonidin aglycones were found. In this research, we report anthocyanin profiles for the M. neglectum flowers for the first time. Conclusion: The obtained results concerning anthocyanins composition may be very useful for researchers in the field of the standardization and activity evaluation of extracts produced from M.

JUDD W.S. Et. Al. (1999) Plant Systematics
CHAPTER8 Phylogenetic Relationships of Angiosperms he angiosperms (or flowering plants) are the dominant group of land Tplants. The monophyly of this group is strongly supported, as dis- cussed in the previous chapter, and these plants are possibly sister (among extant seed plants) to the gnetopsids (Chase et al. 1993; Crane 1985; Donoghue and Doyle 1989; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994). The angio- sperms have a long fossil record, going back to the upper Jurassic and increasing in abundance as one moves through the Cretaceous (Beck 1973; Sun et al. 1998). The group probably originated during the Jurassic, more than 140 million years ago. Cladistic analyses based on morphology, rRNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences do not support the traditional division of angiosperms into monocots (plants with a single cotyledon, radicle aborting early in growth with the root system adventitious, stems with scattered vascular bundles and usually lacking secondary growth, leaves with parallel venation, flow- ers 3-merous, and pollen grains usually monosulcate) and dicots (plants with two cotyledons, radicle not aborting and giving rise to mature root system, stems with vascular bundles in a ring and often showing sec- ondary growth, leaves with a network of veins forming a pinnate to palmate pattern, flowers 4- or 5-merous, and pollen grains predominantly tricolpate or modifications thereof) (Chase et al. 1993; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994; Donoghue and Doyle 1989). In all published cladistic analyses the “dicots” form a paraphyletic complex, and features such as two cotyle- dons, a persistent radicle, stems with vascular bundles in a ring, secondary growth, and leaves with net venation are plesiomorphic within angio- sperms; that is, these features evolved earlier in the phylogenetic history of tracheophytes.

Spring Blooming Bulbs – Planting, Growing, Dividing By: Becca Harper, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe
Spring Blooming Bulbs – Planting, Growing, Dividing By: Becca Harper, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe October and November are the months to plant spring blooming bulbs. In Tahoe, bulbs can be planted directly in the ground without pre-chilling as gardeners in warm climates often do. Our winters do the chilling for us. As long as the soil is not frozen, bulbs can be planted. Soil Like most plants, bulbs need well-drained soil. Most will quickly rot in soggy soil. If your soil drains poorly, consider planting on a slope or in raised beds. Loosen the soil past the root depth and amend it with some compost or other organic material before planting. Sun Most fall planted bulbs can take five to six hours of daily full sun when they bloom in the spring. They will even bloom well under deciduous trees, if the trees won’t leaf out until the bulbs finish blooming. Some woodland bulbs, such as fritillaria, prefer light shade. Selecting Choose the biggest! Generally, you’ll get more blooms from the most mature bulbs. Be aware that pre-packaged bulbs, though less expensive, are usually smaller and may produce less reliable blooms. Choose healthy bulbs. Look for heavy, dense bulbs with no decay, mold, or fungus. Shop early in the season for best selection and before the bulbs suffer from mishandling and high temperature storage. Buy bulbs labeled “commercially propagated” or “from cultivated stock.” Soil Depths and Typical Blooming Times for Various Bulbs Planting Plant all types of bulbs with the growth points ‘up’ and the root scars ‘down.’ True bulbs and corms have obvious points, but tubers don’t.

BARANOVA THE ECOLOGO‐MORPHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF THE UNDERGROUND ORGANS OF THE REPRESNTATIVES OF THE GENUS FRITILLARIA (LILIACEAE) ENGLISH TRANSLATION RUTH HASSON EDITED & COMPILED LAURENCE HILL 2008 THE ECOLOGICAL‐MORPHOLOGICAL PARTICULARITIES OF THE UNDERGROUND ORGANS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS FRITILLARIA (LILIACEAE) M V BARANOVA English translation by RUTH HASSON Edited and compiled by LAURENCE HILL† First published in Botanicheski Zhurnal 1981 Foreword to the translation In the last twenty years DNA techniques have fundamentally changed our understanding of plant evolution such that many plant classifications have had to be re‐ written and the value placed on flower part reduced as they have been shown to evolve rapidly. However, traditional morphological systematic classification has not been replaced by these new techniques but enhanced as the true systematic value of a plants physical characteristic can be better understood. The Russian botanist Marina Baranova made meticulous observations of the underground structure of the bulbs of Liliaceae with particular emphasis on Lilium. In 1981 she published a detailed account of the ontogeny and annual bulb renewal of Fritillaria and made important recommendation on the taxonomy of the genus. An account of the phylogenetic relationships within Fritillaria was published by Nina Rønsted et al. in 2005 in which the close relationship of F. imperialis, F. pallidiflora, F. persica (F. libanotica) and F. sewerzowii was confirmed. Other work at Kew by Ilia Leitch on genome size fits closely with the findings of Baranova. The following is an English translation of Baranova’s 1981 paper.
