  • THE ALPINE GARDEN SOCIETY's 60Th SEED LIST 2011-12 Please Read Through These Notes and Also the Notes on the Back O
    WELCOME TO THE ALPINE GARDEN SOCIETY’S 60th SEED LIST 2011-12 Please read through these notes and also the notes on the back of the order forms before completing the forms. The main distribution will begin in December and will continue into the new year. The seeds offered originate from various sources and cannot be guaranteed true to name. Neither The Alpine Garden Society nor any official of the Society can be held responsible for what is supplied. Members are reminded that named cultivars and hybrids cannot be relied upon to come true, and plants raised from seed from cultivars should not be labelled with the names of those cultivars. Seeds of many species are in short supply and we can never have enough to meet all requests. Members who request very rare or popular species must realise that they are likely to be disappointed and are advised to spread their requests throughout a variety of seeds on the list. Surplus seeds are those remaining after all applications for main distribution seeds have been met. Please see the notes on the back of the order form for futher information. On-line ordering will again be offered this year. You will be able to view the seed list, make your selections, order and pay for your seed order on line. We will take care to ensure parity between on line ordering and postal ordering so neither system will get priority. Please go to http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/seed/exchange/ and follow the instructions on the page. Overseas Members: Members outside the UK and the EU are reminded that most countries restrict the import of some species.

We prepared three different types of plant extracts (ethanolic, aqueous and butanolic) from tuber of C. coum. The effect of 0, 10 and 20 mg of cyclamen saponin were tested by agar disk diffusion technique. Pyocyanin purification was done from microbial broth culture and the extracted pyocyanin was measured by spectrophotometric method. Results showed that the production of pyocyanin was remarkably reduced by ethanolic extract of saponin. In addition increased saponin concentration led to further decrease in pyocyanin content.

  • January 2012 ---International Rock Gardener--- January 2012
    International Rock Gardener Number 25 The Scottish Rock Garden Club January 2012 ---International Rock Gardener--- January 2012 We begin the year with some “perennial favourites”: plants with lasting attraction. The late Harold Esslemont was one of the most experienced growers and exhibitors in the SRGC over a great many years and the following article was adapted from The Rock Garden journal of 1969 to showcase some plants that are as popular today as they were over forty years ago. The last cover of 2011 was of a wintry scene in the Scottish Garden of two of the IRG team so we thought we’d share this January sunset for the start of 2012. In his weekly Bulb Log Diary, now in its tenth year, Ian shares his method of taking such photos. Cover picture: January Sunset, Aberdeen. J. Ian Young ---Mountains in the Garden--- My Twelve Favourite Alpines by the late Harold Esslemont M.B.E. (adapted by M.Y.) It was the final meeting of the season of the local group. A postcard announced that two* members had been invited to show and discuss slides of their twelve favourite alpines. It appeared that I was to be one of the speakers. I forget who told me that his list of twelve favourite alpines ran to at least twenty, but I was soon to learn how right he was. My brief was twelve plants, no more, and a decision, however difficult, had to be made. The compiling of such a list is influenced by so many factors that the result may be expected to vary widely among individuals.

    Cyclamen Notes by Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff Flowers of Atlantis? Page 2 Cyclamen Blooming Times Page 4 Cyclamen Species, Subspecies, Page 5 Forma, & Varieties in Alphabetical Order Cyclamen Descriptions Page 6 (photos referenced are not included) Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff is available for lectures & garden tours for Cyclamen & Hardy Orchids 604-589-6134 wbischoff @ shaw.ca The Flowers of Atlantis? By Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff / member BC Council of Garden Clubs If you can accept that the island called Santorini in the central Mediterranean, also known as Thira / Tera, is the original Island of Atlantis; if you also can agree that this Island had a terrific volcanic explosion more than 3,000 years ago, than I can share with you an equally fantastic botanical story with you. That today’s Thira is the remnant of an exploded volcano is quite evident when one looks at a map of this region of the Mediterranean. Located as part of the Aegean Islands, just north of Crete, it shows the unmistakable shape of a water filled volcanic caldera with a center-cone island. Scientists have identified volcanic ash taken from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese coast, as originating from Thira. The time frame of some 3300 years ago also coincides with the beginning of a rather tumultuous time in this part of the ancient world, the end of the “Bronze Age”. The possible cause of that could well have been a natural disaster, in the very heart of the ancient world as we know it. Now that I have your attention and possibly have whetted your curiosity, let me introduce you to one of the small wonders of this very ancient world, the beautiful Cyclamen, all 22 species of them.

  • Garden Mastery Tips October 2002 from Clark County Master Gardeners
    Garden Mastery Tips October 2002 from Clark County Master Gardeners "D" is for Daffodil September is upon us. The leaves and colors of the garden are brilliant in their last displays. The sun is still shining and bright. But mornings have a touch of chill. Soon Jack Frost will tiptoe in putting to bed any remaining flowers of the summer still up and partying. Quiet will descend upon the garden. The coloring will become more subdued and staid. Did you ever know there were so many shades of brown? The weather in the Pacific Northwest lends itself to a long winter's nap. The days are overcast, bleak and dreary with mist or rain bathing the land. The garden slumbers on forever it seems. Then in the short dark days of February, tiny green leaves begin to push their way up out of the ground. Each day they grow stronger and larger followed by a stem with a swelling flower bud that gladdens the soul when it bursts into bloom: rain or snow the daffodils bloom. Spring cannot be far behind. Pretty picture isn't it? What a glad sight all those lovely flowers will be next spring. Do you remember this William Wordsworth poem from school? Daffodils I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
