Our mission stays the same: to support our community’s green spaces, and to educate our community in the areas of gardening, horticulture, conservation, and related topics. GCH members serve as volunteers, and our profits from the Bulb Mart are given back to WELCOME the community in support of our mission. In the last fifteen years, we have given back over $3.5 million in grants to the community! The Garden Club of Houston’s first Plant Sale was held in 1942, on the steps of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, with plants dug from members’ gardens. Plants propagated from our own members’ yards will be available again this year as well as plants and bulbs sourced from near and far that are unique, interesting, and well suited for area gardens.

    Advancement in Medicinal Plant Research Vol. 9(1), pp. 1-10, January 2021 ISSN: 2354-2152 Review Mirabilis jalapa: A review of ethno and pharmacological activities Farjana Islam Liya, Mt. Farzana Yasmin, Nargis Sultana Chowdhury*, Tasnia Khasru Charu and Ismat Benta Fatema Department of Pharmacy, Manarat International University, Ashulia Model Town, Khagan, Ashulia, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Accepted 4 January, 2021 ABSTRACT Plants have been used for thousands of years to treat, prevent, and control a variety of diseases throughout the world. The initial benefits of using plant-derived medicine are that they are relatively safer than artificial alternatives. Mirabilis jalapa Linn. (Nyctaginaceae) is one of the plants that used for health care and medicinal purposes for several thousands of years. It is a perennial bushy herb promulgate by flowers or leaves, a native of America and commonly known as ‘four-o-clock’. It has traditionally been used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, muscle pain, abdominal colic, and diarrhea in ancient Mexico, Japan, China and Brazil. The literature review revealed that M. jalapa is widely used as anti-oxidant, anti- inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, cytotoxic, antinociceptive, and several other’s medicines. In aerial parts of the M. jalapa, triterpene and flavonoids are found. Flowers mostly contain anthocyanins and flavonoids. Carbohydrate, resin and alkaloids are found in roots. Tricosan-12-one, n-hexacosanal, β- sitosterol, and tetracosanoic were isolated from the leaves of the M. jalapa. Seeds contain β-sitosterol, β- amyrin and β-sitosterol-D-glucoside. The presence of various bioactive compounds validates the whole plant for different medicinal practitioners.

  • ANNUALS for UTAH GARDENS Teresa A
    ANNUALS FOR UTAH GARDENS Teresa A. Cerny Ornamental Horticulture Specialist Debbie Amundsen Davis County Horticulture Extension Agent Loralie Cox Cache County Horticulture Extension Agent September 2003 HG-2003/05 Annuals are plants that come up in the spring, reach maturity, flower, set seeds, then die all in one season. They provide eye-catching color to any flower bed and can be used as borders, fillers, or background plantings. There are several ways to find annual species that fit your landscape needs; referring to the All-American Selection program evaluations (http://www.all-americaselections.org), visiting botanical gardens to observe examples of annuals in the landscape, and looking through commercial seed catalogs are excellent places to find ideas. Most annuals are available in cell packs, flats, or individual pots. When buying plants, choose those that are well established but not pot bound. Tall spindly plants lack vigor and should be avoided. Instead look for plants with dark green foliage that are compact and free of insect and disease problems. These criteria are much more important than the flower number when choosing a plant. An abundance of foliage with few, if any flowers, is desirable. BED PREPARATION Avoid cultivating soil too early in the spring and during conditions that are too wet. Soil conditions can be determined by feeling the soil. If the soil forms a ball in your hand but crumbles easily, it is ideal. Cultivate the flower bed to a depth of 6-10 inches by turning the soil with a spade. Utah soils can always use extra organic matter such as grass clippings, leaves, compost, manure, peat, etc.

Nov. Gen is a species of flowering perennial shrub belonging to family Tecomaceae, and is native to South America. Tecoma stans is Available online on medicinally important since different plant parts have nephrotoxic, antifungal and http://www.ijlsci.in antibacterial properties. The flowers arise in condensed raceme with bright yellow colour flowers. Each ovary contains many ovules. The fruit are elongated and ISSN: 2320-964X (Online) compressed with about 11-20 cm, with two sections each containing about 10-20 seed ISSN: 2320-7817 (Print) in each locule. Seeds are non endospermic, with seed coat showing papery appearance. The structure of embryo is very distinct. In most of the angiosperms, the two cotyledons are mostly folded, and thus prevent the exposure of the growing tips to Editor: Dr. Arvind Chavhan outer environmental conditions. However in Tecoma stans it is found that the two cotyledons are unfolded, which leads to exposure of the plumule and the radical. The shape of the embryo seems to be very characteristic, adapting itself to be dispersed at longer distances. The embryo also seems to have evolved in order to orient itself Cite this article as: according to the shape of the seed for longer distance dispersal.

    Biosphere—Butterfly Handout 14908 Tilden Road—Winter Garden FL 34787 (407) 656‐8277 www.BiosphereNursery.com Many of our native plant species are in decline because of a decline in insect pollinators, resulting in low seed production. Many crops also produce lower yields due to low pollinator populations. Man has declared war on insects with massive spray programs, killing the good with the bad and removing an important link in most food chains. You can help by planning a Bioscape that attracts and increases populations of butterflies and other pollinators. Let us help you plan a landscape that enhances habitats for all native wildlife. I.

  • American Forests National Big Tree Program Species Without Champions
    American Forests National Big Tree Program Champion trees are the superstars of their species — and there are more than 700 of them in our national register. Each champion is the result of a lucky combination: growing in a spot protected by the landscape or by people who have cared about and for it, good soil, the right amount of water, and resilience to the elements, surviving storms, disease and pests. American Forests National Big Tree Program was founded to honor these trees. Since 1940, we have kept the only national register of champion trees (http://www.americanforests.org/explore- forests/americas-biggest-trees/champion-trees-national-register/) Champion trees are found by people just like you — school teachers, kids fascinated by science, tree lovers of all ages and even arborists for whom a fun day off is measuring the biggest tree they can find. You, too, can become a big tree hunter and compete to find new champions. Species without Champions (March, 2018) Gold rows indict species that have Idaho State Champions but the nominations are too old to be submitted for National Champion status.

  • Fruit and Native Trees
    FRUIT AND NATIVE ORNAMENTAL TREES Annona muricata Laguana, soursop A popular fruit on Guam, laguana is one of the seven fast-to-fruit trees recommended for planting in the “Seven Trees, Seven Practices” agroforestry education project conducted by CNAS Extension and Outreach personnel. A valuable tropical tree, laguana fruit is high in vitamins C and B and antioxidants. The leaves, bark and seeds are used medicinally and have been found to support anticancer, antiparasitic and insecticidal activity. Originally from Mexico and South America, Annona muricata is grown in tropical regions around the world. Photo credits: Olympia Terral Ficus carica Fig Ficus carica is one of the seven fast-to- fruit trees recommended for planting in the “Seven Trees, Seven Practices” agroforestry education project conducted by CNAS Extension and Outreach personnel. Originally from Asia Minor and the Mediterranean, figs are currently cultivated worldwide. Fig trees can tolerate a range of soil types but require good drainage. Figs have a high concentration of phytosterols, which block the absorption of cholesterol in the body, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Figs are high in potassium, which helps to control blood pressure, making them an excellent snack choice for people who have high blood pressure. Photo credits: Olympia Terral Elaeocarpus joga Yoga, blue marble tree This striking tree is indigenous to the Mariana Islands and produces beautiful flowers and vibrant blue marble-sized fruit. The blue color is not caused by blue pigmentation in the fruit; rather, it is an optical phenomenon due to the refraction of light. The authors of Trees and Shrubs of the Northern Mariana Islands recommend planting yoga trees in reforestation efforts and as an ornamental in parks and home gardens.
