Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

E-mail: [email protected] Bassam N. Fneich Biological and Chemical Sciences Department at the School of Arts and Sciences, Lebanese International University, Beirut, Lebanon. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 11 Nov. 2020 / Accepted 10 Dec. 2020 / Publication date: 15 Dec. 2020 ABSTRACT Pickles are considered as high salt food mainly due to the presence of high sodium ions added for taste and preservation purposes. This high amount will increase the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, an attempt was done to replace Sodium chloride (NaCl) by salt replacer which is potassium chloride (KCl) in Armenian cucumber pickles. Nine treatments were done with different salts percentages with and without chili pepper and garlic. All treatments were incubated at room temperature for 4 weeks then pH measurement, sensory analysis, and microbial analysis were performed. The pH values decreased with incubation and the lowest pH was 3.53±0.03 for Treatment 4 (75% KCl, 25%NaCl). Treatment 4 showed the highest reduction in both total plate count and yeast count with 78.5±3.0×103 CFU/ml and 73.0±3.0×102 CFU/ml respectively.

    i Foreword The results of this project are from the combined efforts of a team of talented students at the University of Washington. The five members of this team came to this project with diverse experiences and knowledge. The team included Landscape Architecture students and Environmental Horticulture/ Urban Forestry students; including undergraduate and graduate students. Amongst the team were individuals with extensive experience in nursery management, municipal arboriculture, landscape design, and environmental consulting. The team even included an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and Washington State University Master Gardeners. We hope that this project will contribute significantly to the implementation of a Native Plant Synoptic Garden at Washington Park Arboretum. The information contained in this project should be used in conjunction with other previous projects that have focused on the creation of this garden. By combining all this cumulative information, the final stakeholders and designers at Washington Park Arboretum will be able to synthesize and create this world class garden. ii Contents FOREWORD……………………………………………………………………………………..i INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site Location……………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site History……………………………………………………………………………………....1 Project Goals ……………………………………………………………………………………..2 SITE ANALYSIS………………………………………………………………………………...3 Existing Vegetation…………………………………………………………………………….....6 Topography……………………………………………………………………………………....7 Climate…………………………………………………………………………………………..8

  • The Insects That Visit Penstemon Flowers

    The Insects That Visit Penstemon Flowers

    The Insects That Visit Penstemon Flowers Sarah Kimball Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Paul Wilson Department of Biology, California State University, Northridge, CA 91330-8303 The shape and color of penstemon flowers are the result of adaptations to attract pollinators. Diverse flower types reflect differences in animal pollinators. For about four-fifths of penstemon species (the ones with white, blue, or purple flowers), the principal pollinators are bees and the wasp Pseudomasaris vespoides. The remaining fifth of penstemon species have red or pink flowers adapted to hummingbird pollination, with some of these also retaining the bees as co-pollinators. In addition to the animals that the flowers seem adapted to, there are a number of other insects that sometimes visit penstemon flowers, such as the long-tongued flies called Oligodranes. There are also many generalist flower visitors occasionally observed on penstemons, such as hawkmoths. The hummingbirds visiting penstemon can be identified with field guides, but the insect visitors are usually more difficult because there are many more insect species and few field guides mention the flowers visited by each species. The goal of this article is to introduce some of the major groups of insects commonly observed visiting penstemon flowers (see photographs in Plate 9). Animal pollinators visit flowers to gather food in the form of nectar, pollen, or both. From the perspective of the animal pollinators, the act of removing pollen from the anthers of one flower and depositing it on the stigma of another flower is merely a 20 Bulletin of the American Penstemon Society Vol.
