April 26, 2019
April 26, 2019 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships, and the generous support of S&S Seeds. Now is the time to really get out and hike the trails searching for late bloomers. It’s always good to call or check the location’s website if you can, and adjust your expectations accordingly before heading out. Please enjoy your outing, and please use your best flower viewing etiquette. Along Salt Creek near the southern entrance to Sequoia National Park, the wildflowers are abundant and showy. Masses of spring flowering common madia (Madia elegans) are covering sunny slopes and bird’s-eye gilia (Gilia tricolor) is abundant on flatlands. Good crops of owl’s clover (Castilleja sp.) are common in scattered colonies and along shadier trails, woodland star flower (Lithophragma sp.), Munz’s iris (Iris munzii), and the elegant naked broomrape (Orobanche uniflora) are blooming. There is an abundance of Chinese houses (Collinsia heterophylla) and foothill sunburst (Pseudobahia heermanii). This is a banner year for the local geophytes. Mountain pretty face (Tritelia ixiodes ssp. anilina) and Ithuriel’s spear (Triteliea laxa) are abundant. With the warming temperatures farewell to spring (Clarkia cylindrical subsp. clavicarpa) is starting to show up with their lovely bright purple pink floral display and is particularly noticeable along highway 198. Naked broom rape (Orobanche uniflora), foothill sunburst (Pseudobahia heermanii). Photos by Michael Wall © Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers & Native Plants, Inc.

Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources
Section 4..2 (Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources Note to reader: The County of San Bernardino has previously circulated for public review and comment the March 25, 2010, Draft Environmental Impact Report on the proposed Deep Creek project. Since the close of the public comment period for that DEIR, the County has made changes to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of the DEIR. This revised Section 4.2 supersedes and replaces Section 4.2, Biological Resources, which was included in the March 25, 2010, DEIR. The County has elected to recirculate the revised Section 4.2 for public review and comment. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(c) of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3), only Section 4.2 of the DEIR is being recirculated. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(f)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the County (i) is requesting that reviewers limit their comments to the revised Section 4.2, (ii) will respond to previously submitted comments on all portions of the previously circulated DEIR, except those made with respect to the now-superseded Section 4.2, and (iii) will respond to comments made during the recirculation period to the revised Section 4.2. Additionally, certain issues have previously been adjudicated, such as the evaluation and mitigation of potential impacts to the California desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel, and ultimately may be determined by the courts not to be subject to additional judicial review. 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts on biological resources resulting from the implementation of the project. -

ANNUALS for UTAH GARDENS Teresa A
ANNUALS FOR UTAH GARDENS Teresa A. Cerny Ornamental Horticulture Specialist Debbie Amundsen Davis County Horticulture Extension Agent Loralie Cox Cache County Horticulture Extension Agent September 2003 HG-2003/05 Annuals are plants that come up in the spring, reach maturity, flower, set seeds, then die all in one season. They provide eye-catching color to any flower bed and can be used as borders, fillers, or background plantings. There are several ways to find annual species that fit your landscape needs; referring to the All-American Selection program evaluations (http://www.all-americaselections.org), visiting botanical gardens to observe examples of annuals in the landscape, and looking through commercial seed catalogs are excellent places to find ideas. Most annuals are available in cell packs, flats, or individual pots. When buying plants, choose those that are well established but not pot bound. Tall spindly plants lack vigor and should be avoided. Instead look for plants with dark green foliage that are compact and free of insect and disease problems. These criteria are much more important than the flower number when choosing a plant. An abundance of foliage with few, if any flowers, is desirable. BED PREPARATION Avoid cultivating soil too early in the spring and during conditions that are too wet. Soil conditions can be determined by feeling the soil. If the soil forms a ball in your hand but crumbles easily, it is ideal. Cultivate the flower bed to a depth of 6-10 inches by turning the soil with a spade. Utah soils can always use extra organic matter such as grass clippings, leaves, compost, manure, peat, etc. -

T"-"""'••••"•""• Ioannis Panagopoulos TtthwrtrtiMi Effaces of ultraviolet radiation on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Beta vulparis and Helianthus annuus ' It is believed that increased levels of ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; 280-320 nm) will result in serious , threat to plants. In the present study the effects of UV (particularly UV-B) were studied on chlorophyll fluorescence, ultraweak luminescence (UL) and plant growth. Parameters related to light emission were ' determined, and the effects of UV-B on hypocotyl elongation and levels of free IAA were examined. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L, Beta vulgaris L. and Helianthus annuus L. were used as material. They were - grown in greenhouse or in grc *th chambers and exposed to short or long term UV-B simulating different levels of ozone depletion, abort exposure of Hibiscus leaves to UV resulted in a gradual increase in both : UL and peroxidase activity followed by a decline after 72 h and a decrease in variable chlorophyll fluorescence. The action of UV-B on sugar beet plants depended on light quality and irradiance and : infection by Cercospora beticola Sacc. The interaction between UV-B and the disease resulted in a large ; reduction of dry weight and enhanced UL The lowest Chi a and growth was found in plants grown under 1 low irradiance and exposed to UV-B supplemented with UV-A (320-400 nm). -
197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow. -
Bee-Friendly Native Plants
BEE-FRIENDLY NATIVE PLANTS Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants 10459 Tuxford Street, Sun Valley, CA 91352 | (818) 768-1802 | theodorepayne.org California is home to 1,600 native bee species! Native bees are important and effective pollinators and essential to a healthy ecosystem. The best way to support these and other beneficial insects in your garden is to provide them with native plants. ANNUALS (best sown from seed in fall) Clarkia unguiculata (elegant clarkia) Showy white, pink or magenta flowers on tall upright stems. Foliage is used by sphinx moth caterpillars (also called hummingbird moths!). Eschscholzia californica (California poppy) Favored by small sweat bees and our smallest bees, Perdita spp. Gilia capitata (globe gilia) Late-spring bloomer loved by long-horned bees. Layia platyglossa (tidy tips) Cheerful yellow and white daisy-like flowers. Lupinus succulentus (arroyo lupine) and other species Blue-purple flowers attract bumblebees. Mentzelia lindleyi Golden yellow flowers attract digger bees Nemophila menziesii (baby blue eyes) Charming little plant with blue flowers. Grows well in part sun to shade. Phacelia tanacetifolia (tansy-leaved phacelia) A must-have for any bee garden. PERENNIALS Calystegia macrostegia (morning glory) Climbing vine attracts the specialist digger bee, Diadasia bituberculata, which forages only on this flower. Helianthus annuus (common sunflower), Baileya multiradiata (desert marigold) and other Aster family species Attract many pollinators, including sweat bees, mason bees and bumble bees. Monardella spp. (coyote mint) Fragrant foliage and showy, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, flower flies and butterflies. Penstemon spectabilis (showy penstemon) Large tubular flowers are foraged by bees and pollen wasps. -
Coreopsis, Commonly Called Tickseed, Belongs in the 'Happy-Go-Lucky
Coreopsis Belongs in Every Garden Coreopsis, commonly called tickseed, belongs in the ‘happy-go-lucky’ family of flowering perennials. They will grow in almost any kind of soil and will survive in spite of common gardening mistakes including watering too much, forgetting to water enough, and being sited in less than optimal light conditions. If asked, they would tell you they would prefer to be planted in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. There are species of Coreopsis available from six inches to six feet tall. Most bloom in summer with lots of cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers. They attract birds and butterflies, but are not palatable to deer. Mouse ear Coreopsis (C. auriculata) is loaded with brilliant golden-orange blooms in May and June and continues to bloom sporadically until frost. These 6 to 9” tall plants spread by seed without being invasive. Plant them at the front of a border. Coreopsis ‘Jethro Tull’ grows 12 to 15” tall and 18” wide. Plant a swath of them in full to part sun, and it will set your landscape ablaze with large, yellow, uniquely fluted flowers from June to July. If yellow is not your favorite color, choose Coreopsis rosea ‘Heaven’s Gate’. Brilliant pink flowers with darker centers and a tiny yellow eye blanket 18 to 24” tall plants all summer. Threadleaf Coreopsis (C. verticillata) is an outstanding species. They are airy, mounding plants with very fine, dark green foliage. They bloom longer than other species beginning in early June and continuing into September. They are not only longer lived, but also easier to maintain. -
