Site Context Summary The primary soil type is Kinton silt loam which is considered to be moderately well drained, with silty clay loam at 17-38 inches on average. Based on the home’s orientation and the established trees on-site, the backyard has filtered sunlight through most of the day, with mostly shade under the canopy of the conifers.While the front yard receives full sun throughout the day. Conceptual Design Summary Sunny Section: The goal is to create a natural meadow aesthetic with low maintenance plant selections that can thrive in the clay-loam soil and full sun. Brightly colored perennial flowers are selected for their good cut flower qualities, while matching the client’s prefered color scheme, and desire to attract birds and support pollinators through the year. Shady Section: This plant selection includes good options for a natural aesthetic and seamless style created by repeating specie combinations. Increase seasonal interest with shade blooming plants throughout the year. .

Shokrzadeh1 and S. S. Saeedi Saravi2* 1Department of Toxicology-Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran. 2Faculty of Pharmacy, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran. Accepted 16 December, 2009 Sambucus ebulus is known as dwarf elder or elderberry. S. ebulus extracts are an important area in drug development with numerous pharmacological functions in the Middle East. However, their pharmacological functions have not been clearly studied. For a long time, S. ebulus has been prescribed in traditional medicines for the treatment of inflammatory reactions, such as hemorrhoid, bites and sore-throat. In addition, S. ebulus has recently been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti- nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti-angiogenic and anti-oxidative activities. Ebulitin, ebulin 1, flavonoid, athocyanin and other components have been isolated from S. ebulus and identified as active ingredients of biological and pharmacological activities. Due to the easy collection of the plant and remarkable biological activities, this plant has become both food and medicine in the coastal area of Iran. This review presents comprehensive analyzed information on the botanical, chemical, toxico- pharmacological and clinical aspects of S. ebulus. Key words: Sambucus ebulus, Adoxaceae, RIPs, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti- oxidative.

Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

Elderberry, Or Have Respect for Your Elders!
Enchanted Elderberry, or Have Respect for Your Elders! Elderberries have been blooming along roadsides. Their blossoms spread across the bushes like white lace doilies. Do you remember infamous poison-laced elderberry wine that was used to put lonely gentlemen out of their misery by little old ladies in the comedy, "Arsenic and Old Lace"? Did "old lace" refer to the ladies, the "laced" wine, or the appearance of elderberry blossoms? Who knows? Image 1: A nice colony blooming several years ago off Gilgal Road in Abbeville County. Many tiny white flowers form a large more or less flat-topped blossom known botanically as a cyme. Each flower is "complete" with five sepals, five petals, five stamens that produce pollen, and one pistil that produces eggs and seed. And as complete flowers they are also "perfect" because both male and female parts are present. Incomplete flowers lacking sepals or petals can still be perfect as long as both male and female structures are present! Image 2: One cluster of flowers, a cyme. Image 3: Individual flowers. Can you count petals and stamens? By summer’s end bushes will be in fruit, and, botanically speaking each fruit is a drupe! Other familiar examples of drupes are cherries, peaches, and olives, fruits that have a single seed surrounded by the fleshy part that developed from the flower's ovary. Image 4: Beautiful juicy ripe drupes ready for pie, jelly or wine. Elderberry is in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, whose Greek root words mean "goat leaves." That makes sense for most honeysuckles, with undivided (simple) leaves in twos arranged opposite one another on the stem, and shaped sort of like goat’s ears! Leaves of elderberry also have opposite arrangement, but they are compound leaves, with the green blade divided into smaller leaflets not at all resembling goat’s ears! Their leaves actually resemble somewhat those of an ash tree.

The flowers add an aromatic flavor and lightness to pancakes or fritters. The elderberry is of well-known value to the Indians of North America and the many purposes it serves (Barrow 1967). Elderberry is highly prized by both Spaniards and Cahuillas. Throughout the months of July and August, the small clusters of berries are gathered in large quantities. These clusters are dried carefully on the drying floor and preserved in considerable amounts. When wanted, they are cooked into a rich sauce that needs no sweetening.

Spring Ephemerals)
1 Sex Lives of Woodland Herbs Spring in the forest begins with a smorgasbord of flowering herbs. Hillsides become carpeted in white, pink, and maroon as trillium flowers open. The yellow bell-shaped flowers and mottled leaves of trout lily blaze in the April sunlight. Yellow, white, and blue violets flower in profusion along trails and creeks. Squirrel corn (Dicentra canadensis) flowers flavor the air with a sweet aroma (Figure Spring Ephemerals). The early woodland herbs, or spring ephemerals, spring forth quickly with leaves, flowers, and fruits and then wither just as summer heats up. Their strategy is to perform energy demanding activities quickly while sunlight abounds under the bare forest trees. In a few short weeks, many of these perennials will shift from a cryptic underground phase to a robust plant with conspicuous flowers only to return to hiding by July. The above ground growth phase is never prolonged. April trillium flowers progress to fruits and seeds in late July. Trout lily (Erythronium americanum), on the other hand, has one of the shortest above ground periods. They send both leaves and flowers to the surface in early April, then six weeks later the plant senesces as the fruit capsule lies quietly on forest soil. Special contractile roots, common among lily members, pull the expanding trout lily corm further beneath the soil. The large, colorful spring ephemeral flowers advertise their pollen and nectar rewards to early flies and bees in the forest. Insects are efficient and abundant pollinators on warm sunny days in the spring forest. Insect pollinators feed intensively with deliberate flights between flowers.
