More growing information: How to Grow Annuals Varieties Look for dwarfs, various flower colors and plant heights. ‘Cosmic’ Series: Short (1’ tall) plants with colorful yellow or orange flowers. Very reliable bloomer. ‘Sonata’ Series: large flowers in shades of pink, white and red on short, 1 to 2’ tall dwarf plants. Does very well in full sun, and flowers abundantly. ‘Candy Stripe Mix’: white flowers striped along the length of the petals with shades of red. ‘Daydream’: pale pink petals deepend to dark pink towards the tufted yellow center of the flower. Very striking. ‘Gazebo Mix’: white pink and red flowers are larger than most Cosmos and showy on 3 to 4’ tall plants. ‘Seashells Mix’: trumpet-like flower petals are rolled into tubes. Flowers in shades of pink, red and white. Plants grow 3' tall. ‘Sensation’ Series: very large (4 to 6') flowers in a variety of shades of pink, white and red. Plants grow to 4’ tall. ‘Versailles’ Series: excellent for cut flowers because of its wiry stems and large, colorful blooms in shades of red, white and pink. Blooms during short days, and thus is a good winter greenhouse cutflower plant. ‘Picotee' attractive white flowers have reddish pink edges with faint red lines running the length of the petals and yellow flower centers. ©2006 Cornell University .

Gillock Department of Biological Sciences, of Dahlia mosaic virus in members of Asteraceae Fort Hays State University, Hays, KS INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES & HYPOTHESES DISCUSSION Dahlia Mosaic Virus (DMV) is a double-stranded Determine the host range of DMV-D10 by sampling Asteraceae There was no phylogenetic relationship when DNA viral pathogen belonging to the family members including Dahlia variabilis determining absence or presence of DMV-D10 in Caulimoviridae (Pahalawatta et al., 2008). Symptoms • Cosmos bipinnatus and Dahlia variabilis belong to the Coreopsideae tribe samples. The DMV-D10 movement protein was associated with DMV include vein clearing in the in Asteraceae; therefore, we hypothesized DMV-D10 was most likely to present in Callistephus chinensis, which belongs to leaves (Figure 1a), flower breaking (Figure 1b), and the Astereae tribe, Centaurea cyanus, belonging to the stunted growth (Abdel-Salam et al., 2010). DMV is be present in these species compared to others based on phylogeny. Cardueae tribe, and Dahlia variabilis, belonging to most commonly observed in horticultural and wild • In contrast, we hypothesized members in the Astereae, Cardueae, and the Coreopsideae tribe. This indicates DMV-D10 or varieties of the genus Dahlia. Additionally, a new Tageteae tribe would be less likely to be infected with DMV-D10 based a related DMV virus was present in some samples, strain of this virus called DMV-D10 was first on phylogenetic relationship with Coreopsideae. but not all of them. Past studies indicate DMV-D10 Aster observed in Dahlia variabilis growing in Egypt spreads via vertical transmission from parent to offspring (Pahalawatta et al., 2008).

Using ITS Sequences Suggests Lability in Reproductive Characters

Kimballa,*, Daniel J. Crawfordb a Department of Zoology, University of Florida, P.O. Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611-8525, USA b Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, The Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045-2106, USA Received 3 November 2003; revised 14 April 2004 Available online 7 July 2004 Abstract Relationships among the 21 genera within the tribe Coreopsideae (Asteraceae) remain poorly resolved despite phylogenetic stud- ies using morphological and anatomical traits. Recent molecular phylogenies have also indicated that some Coreopsideae genera are not monophyletic. We used internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences from representatives of 19 genera, as well as all major lin- eages in those genera that are not monophyletic, to examine phylogenetic relationships within this group. To examine the affects of alignment and method of analysis on our conclusions, we obtained alignments using five different parameters and analyzed all five alignments with distance, parsimony, and Bayesian methods. The method of analysis had a larger impact on relationships than did alignments, although different analytical methods gave very similar results. Although not all relationships could be resolved, a num- ber of well-supported lineages were found, some in conflict with earlier hypotheses. We did not find monophyly in Bidens, Coreopsis, and Coreocarpus, though other genera were monophyletic for the taxa we included. Morphological and anatomical traits which have been used previously to resolve phylogenetic relationships in this group were mapped onto the well-supported nodes of the ITS phy- logeny.

Swamp Tickseed (Coreopsis Nudata)
Swamp tickseed (Coreopsis nudata) For definitions of botanical terms, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_botanical_terms. Swamp tickseed is a short-lived perennial with charming pink and yellow blooms. The flower is comprised of vivid purplish-pink ray florets that can be up to 1” long and are notched. They surround a compact center of bright yellow disk florets. Leaves are linear and more abundant at the base of the stem, becoming smaller and fewer as they ascend it. Stems are slender, glabrous and may be branched. The fruit is an elliptic-shaped achene. Swamp tickseed occurs naturally in wet prairies, bogs, seepage slopes, wet flatwoods and roadside ditches. It blooms in spring (typically April and May) and is attractive to bees, although butterflies and other pollinators are known to visit them. Birds eat its seeds. One of 14 species of Coreopsis native to Florida, Swamp tickseed is the only one that is pink. It is often confused with the non-native Cosmos bipinnatus. Photo by Vince Lamb The genus Coreopsis comes from the Greek koris, or “bug,” and opsis, or “appearance,” and refers to the shape of the seed (as does the common name “tickseed”). The species name nudata means “nude” or “without leaf.” Family: Asteraceae (Aster, daisy or composite family) Native range: Panhandle, several counties in the northern peninsula To see where natural populations of Swamp tickseed have been vouchered, visit www.florida.plantatlas.usf.edu. Hardiness: Zone 8 Soil: Wet sand, loam or muck Exposure: Full to partial sun Growth habit: 3–5’ tall Propagation: Seeds Garden tips: Swamp tickseed is easy to grow from seed.

El grupo incluye 35 especies y 4 taxa infraespecíficos restringidos al continente americano. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la distribución geográfica y la riqueza de Cosmos a través de un sistema de información geográfica (SIG). Se estimó el área de distribución geográfica de los taxa con más de un registro. También se evaluó la riqueza de las especies de Cosmos por región política, provincia geológica y una cuadrícula de 80 × 80 km. Por último, se valoraron los patrones de distribución geográfica por hábito de crecimiento. Se encontraron 3 zonas de alta riqueza, todas en México, en los estados de Jalisco, Durango y México. Las hierbas anuales, las hierbas perennes y los sufrútices mostraron patrones de distribución geográfica diferente.

The presence of new alien plant species in Italy is increasing every day. Calabria, its southernmost region, is not yet well known with regard to this aspect. Thanks to fieldwork, sampling, and observing many exotic plants in Calabria, here, we report new data on 34 alien taxa. In particular, we found three new taxa for Europe (Cascabela thevetia, Ipomoea setosa subsp. pavonii, and Tecoma stans), three new for Italy (Brugmansia aurea, Narcissus ‘Cotinga’, and Narcissus ‘Erlicheer’), one new one for the Italian Peninsula (Luffa aegyptiaca), and 21 new taxa for Calabria (Allium cepa, Asparagus setaceus, Bassia scoparia, Beta vulgaris subsp.

Use of Flowering Plants
YARD AND GARDEN Protecting Pollinators in Urban Areas Use of Flowering Plants ► Pollination ecologists have long recognized that a reduction in flowering plants is a significant contributor to declines in pollinators. The second in the Protecting Pollinators in Urban Areas series focuses on the best use of flowering plants in your landscape to attract pollinators. Numerous lists of pollinator friendly plants exist online. But not every plant can stand up to the heat and humidity in the southern states. As you plan your garden areas, it is important to consider the variety of plant for your location as well as the bloom times. The goal is to create a garden where flowers are available from spring to frost each year. Annual and Perennial Plants Bees are more attracted to perennial plants than they are to annual plants. It is, therefore, best to choose a perennial variety when you can. Figure 3. Lantana. Figure 1. Garden cosmos. Figure 4. Butterfly weed. White clover. Figure 2. ANR-2419 Table 1.
