Top 30 Vines & Climbers for Pollinators Top 30 Vines & Climbers A selection of annual and perennial climbers, climbing shrubs and vines with flowers to help our pollinating insects List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation About Vines and Climbers Climbing plants may be shrubs or herbaceous plants but are characterised by an ability to entwine themselves around trees or non-living structures. Vines, a subsection of climbers, specifically climb by using tendrils which twist around branches or crevasses to stabilise the plant; such as passionflowers or grapevines. Some shrubs which may climb walls are also considered climbers, such as firethorn or Japanese wisteria. Other species naturally grow up trees and hold on by wrapping their whole stem tightly around the trunk. Examples of these sort of climbers include ivy and honeysuckle. Climbers can be very useful in a garden when used carefully. They can be trained up trellises on walls, obelisk trellises or over the tops of pergolas. They can also be grown up trees or wigwam frames. Climbing plants, on the whole, will not take kindly to being planted in the middle of a border. Some will grow up small shrubs or perennials, others will attempt to grow up themselves, but, in general, it is best to always plant them with a trellis or distinct structure in which to climb up.

  • A Floristic Study of the Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006
    A Floristic Study of The Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006 INTRODUCTION This paper lists the vascular plants that occur on the campus of The Evergreen State College (TESC), and describes the nine principle plant communities of the campus. It is based on my field observations and collections during Spring Quarter of 2006, and also on the specimens housed in the TESC herbarium, collected by numerous workers since the mid-1970s. Pene Speaks’s “The Campus of The Evergreen State College: Soils and Vegetation” (1982) was also a useful resource, and my study is partially a revision and expansion of the floristic information in that article. I used Hitchock and Cronquist’s Flora of the Pacific Northwest (1973) for my identifications, and follow its nomenclature, except for revised family names. The paper follows a format adapted from Bowcutt (1999). It should be noted that this study is not exhaustive. It does not include the many cultivated plants on campus, except if they have naturalized. Although I made an effort to cover many trails and range widely and representatively over the campus, I did not have time to systematically cover the entire grounds. I did not concentrate on grasses or small weeds, and my study does not do full justice to the diversity of these groups on campus. In addition, there were some species collected on campus by other workers, whose presence I was not able to confirm in the field; this is noted in the plant list. Thus the plant list should be regarded as an introduction to the plants of the campus and a starting point for further floristic work, rather than as a complete, definitive catalog.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF INVENTORY No. 95 ington, D. C. Issued February, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PUNT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PUNT INDUSTRY, APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30,1928 (NOS. 76454 TO 77260) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement , 1 Inventory _ 3 Index of common and scientific names 37 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The period covered by Inventory 95—April, May, and June, 1928—was the busy time for planting in our Northern Hemisphere. But the material received is a reminder that the Southern Hemisphere is just as busy harvesting crops. Two collections of Tasmanian and Australian plants obtained by Mrs. Frieda Cobb Blanchard (Nos. 76701 to 76724, 76931 to 76967) will be of interest to plant growers in the Southwestern States, as will the collection from New Zealand (Nos. 77173 to 77214). Thirty varieties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum, Nos. 76968 to 76997) from New South Wales, Australia, will be of interest to cerealists, and a collection, mostly succulents (Nos. 77217 to 77252) from Kirsten- bosch, Cape Province, Africa, will add to the possibilities for rock gardens in the warmer parts of the country. Eight kinds of grasses from Argentina (Nos. 76878 to 76885), of possible value as forage crops, increase the receipts from the antipodes. In line with the policy of adding to the ornamental plants already in cultivation in this country, new or little known species and varieties of Abelia, Berberis, Buxus, Deutzia, Lonicera, Syringa, and other genera have been obtained from Hon. Vicary Gibbs, of England (Nos. 76550 to 76602). A collection of Japanese azaleas, mostly horticultural forms (Rhododendron spp., Nos.

In the event, we were saved by the most recent weather, and at least when the sun came out the persisting nectar-rich flowers attracted large numbers and a rich diversity of butterflies. We explored from the lowlands to the high mountains in weather that varied from warm and humid to very hot and dry, but with little rain by day at least. In total the week produced 112 species of butterfly, together with many dazzling day-flying moths (particularly burnets) and other wonderful bugs and beasties. Occasional moth trapping gave us a window into the night-life, albeit dominated by Pine Processionary moths, but with a good sample of the big, beautiful and bizarre.

  • Petrocoptis Grandiflora
    Implicaciones ecológicas y evolutivas del robo de néctar Ecological and evolutionary implications of nectar robbery TESIS DOCTORAL Opta al título de “DOCTOR INTERNACIONAL” SANDRA VICTORIA ROJAS NOSSA Vigo Abstract Plants interact simultaneously with a great variety of organisms that modify their biological success and act as selective agents. In the mutualistic interactions of pollination plants receive the benefit of pollen carryover between flowers, while animals obtain resources as reward. However, rewards and other parts of the plant are also consumed by exploiters which apparently do not provide any benefit in return. Nectar robbers are insects, birds and mammals that use a hole made in the corolla to extract the nectar accumulated at the base of the flowers or spurs without entering "legitimately" through the opening of the flower. Nectar robbery has consequences that differ in direction and magnitude for the reproduction of plants through direct and indirect mechanisms, according to the characteristics of the participants in the interactions. As a result, nectar robbers may act as selective agents, modify population dynamics and constitute important pieces for the maintenance of mutualisms. However, few biological systems have been thoroughly studied making the information about this phenomenon still too scarce, fragmented and limited to specific geographic areas, hindering generalizations. The main goal of this dissertation is to study the ecological and evolutionary implications of nectar robbery from a multiscale perspective. To achieve this we first studied the spatial and temporal variability in the robbery frequency of a vulnerable plant species. We analyzed the consequences of nectar robbery for male and female components of the reproductive success in two plant species of the Iberian Peninsula with different life histories: Petrocoptis grandiflora a perennial herb, self-compatible and restricted distribution, and Lonicera etrusca a scandent shrub, pollinator-dependent and common in Mediterranean ecosystems.
