ONLA members can purchase these in quantities at a reduced price at [ http://onla.org ]. *WOODY PLANT OF THE WEEK. TUPELO or BLACK GUM - (Nyssa sylvatica). The tupelo or black gum is a large tree reaching heights up to 50', and is an excellent specimen tree because of its consistent fall color. It grows best in a moist, well drained, acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 to 6.5. The tree however, is very tolerant of less than desirable growing conditions, and is hardy to zone 3. The habit is somewhat pyramidal when young, and seems to mature into an upright-oval look. The foliage is dark green during the summer; changing to a very showy bright orange to scarlet color in autumn. The tree produces a bluish black drupe type fruit about 1/2" long, that is attractive to birds. Although the tree is difficult to transplant because of an extensive taproot, the industry does have several growers that are successfully producing this tree. *PERENNIAL OF THE WEEK. GAILLARDIA or BLANKETFLOWER - (Galardia xgrandiflora.). This genus of perennials is another group where extensive breeding has brought them back into popularity in recent years. Plants tend to grow around 3-4' tall with about a 2' spread. They begin to bloom in July and last well into August and longer if deadheaded. They are a great full sun plant, but must have good drainage as they won't survive in wet winter clay soils. The daisy-shaped flower colors are red, yellow, burgundy, and a blend; some of the newer cultivars have bright orange flowers. One of the most interesting recent introduction is 'Fanfare' with orange and yellow fluted flowers; it grows 12-14" tall. 'Summer's Kiss' with salmon, apricot, gold, and yellow flowers growing 18" tall and 'Tokavar' with brick red flowers on 18" plants are both newer cultivars that also make great cut flowers. Some varieties only last 2-4 years in a typical garden.Photo: cd0011-229 *ANNUAL OF THE WEEK. CLEOME or SPIDER FLOWER - (Cleome spp.). Large flowers bloom prolifically atop long stems on this well-known annual. Known as the spider flower because of the "spidery-like" flowers, the cleome is an excellent plant for cottage or Victorian gardens or fillers in the perennial bed or in large containers. Many cultivars of this plant are started by simply scattering seed in http://bygl.osu.edu/ 2 of 10 Welcome to the BYGL Newsletter 7/18/08 11:57 AM the garden. Many will also continue to self-seed throughout the years. Plants grow to around 3-4' tall and about 1-2' wide. Flower colors are usually pink, lavender, and white depending upon the variety, and the blooms continue all summer without deadheading. Numerous cultivars have been recently introduced to compliment the old-fashioned varieties. 'Sparkler' flowers grow atop 4' stems and are great when used in the middle of a pot of petunias (looking like a sparkler shooting out of the container!). One cultivar that has caught a lot of attention lately is 'Senoria Rosalita'. The plant is a bit more compact than most and grows to around 2-3' tall with purple flowers on top that last from the early season until frost. The best feature, however, is that the foliage remains on the plant all season whereas many other varieties have bare legs with blooms on top. TOXIC TREE TROUBLES The Mahoning County Extension plant pest clinic is operated by the Mahoning Master Gardener Volunteers. These dedicated diagnosticians take their service to the office seriously. Occasionally, samples of plant problems come into the office that perplexes this seasoned group, as was the case last week. Dave Goerig noted reviewing a bag full of wilted vegetable plants, with roots attached that emitted a slight nutty odor. It turns out the vegetable gardeners who brought in the sample unfortunately located their new garden close to a black walnut tree. The roots of BLACK WALNUT (Juglans nigra) and BUTTERNUT (Juglans cinerea) produce a substance known as JUGLONE (5-hydroxyl-alphanapthaquinone). Many plants such as tomato, potato, blackberry, blueberry, azalea, mountain laurel, and rhododendron may be injured or killed if planted within the rootzone of one of these trees. The toxic zone from a mature tree occurs on average in a 50' to 60' radius. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. For a partial list of plants that show resistance to this toxic tree, review OSU Extension Factsheet HYG-1148, "Black Walnut Toxicity to Plants, Humans and Horses." For more information, see: OSU Fact Sheet HUMMERS THAT AREN'T BIRDS Once again, BYGLers are receiving calls about hovering critters that look and act like humming birds, but are a little too small to really be a bird.

    REVISÃO DO GÊNERO Oplognathus MACLEAY, 1819 (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE: RUTELINAE: RUTELINI) por TAMARA GOMES CARVALHO (Sob Orientação do Professor Paschoal Coelho Grossi – UFRPE) RESUMO Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 apresenta três espécies descritas, todas exclusivas do Brasil, sendo elas: O. bahianus (Ohaus, 1912); O. helmenreichi (Ohaus, 1905) e O. kirbii MacLeay, 1819, esta última é a espécie tipo do gênero. Esse gênero pertence a subtribo Areodina (Rutelini, Rutelinae) que contém 43 espécies distribuídas em 11 gêneros, sendo 10 nas Américas e um na África. Os gêneros que ocorrem no Brasil são: Areoda MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.); Byrsopolis Burmeister, 1844 (6 spp.); Moronius Grossi & Vaz-de-Mello, 2015 (1 sp.); e Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.). Oplognathus diferencia-se de outros Areodina com base em três características: ápice do clípeo nos machos trilobado e estendendo-se além do labro em vista ventral; processo mesoventral presente, excedendo anteriormente as coxas médias, e parâmeros assimétricos. O conhecimento taxonômico de Oplognathus está quase que totalmente restrito às descrições originais. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar as espécies de Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 com a redescrição do gênero e das espécies, incluindo ilustrações das principais características diagnósticas, mapa de distribuição e uma chave dicotômica para identificação das suas espécies.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Distance Master of Science in Entomology Projects by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Apopka Insect Field Guide Sarah Parker For my master's project I created a printable insect field guide specific to my area for use by the local elementary and middle schools. My property is located near both Lakeville Elementary School and Piedmont Lakes Middle School, therefore insects collected in my garden should closely approximate the insects that could potentially be seen at either school. A targeted insect guide will help facilitate any number of observational activities and may encourage the schools to plant insect friendly vegetation to increase their abundance of insects. My goal is for this teaching tool to encourage local teachers to include insect education as part of their science curriculum. There are several components to the project. First, I collected insects using a sweep net during the day and a blacklight at night. The resulting insect collection is shown in Appendix 2. I then created 20 scientific illustrations from a portion of the collection, all of which can be found in a Box folder. I used these illustrations to create the printable field guide.
