Anethum Graveolens Common Dill Top 50 Scented Plants A selection of the most divinely scented flowers and aromatic herbs to create a horticultural feast for the senses List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Creating a Scented Garden Smells evoke more than words or pictures ever can in many instances, so creating a garden based around scent is a perfect way to encapsulate a specific mood or create a particular atmosphere. Scent is often found in plants that attract both dayflying and night-flying insects. It is used to attract pollinators without necessarily having to use bright colours; although many of the plants on this list are a feast for the eyes as well as smelling beautiful. This list includes a variety of scents from the highly perfumed flowers of honeysuckle and Daphne, to the sweet fragrance of roses and deeply aromatic leaves of lavender and curry plant. A scented garden will often have lots of shrubs and perhaps smaller borders than other garden styles so every plant is accessible as you walk around the garden. Traditional styles include those inspired by parterre gardens with small borders encased with box hedges; they themselves have a sweet smell. Other styles include archways with Wisteria or Laburnum hanging down, roses growing up and herbaceous planting below. There are endless possibilities so it is totally up to you! Choosing Plants for a Scented Garden It can be easy to go overboard when planting a lot of heady-scented flowers; resulting in a rather overpowering scent. If you have a large space, you may like to plan your garden as a journey through different scents. For a smaller garden, perhaps choose a handful of varying species, or, pick one theme of scent and try it throughout. Lemony, rose and sweet scents pair very well together and are often found blooming through the summer. Try Rosa gallica or Melissa officinalis together for this effect. Aromatic scents from herbs such as hyssop, rosemary and lavender also pair well for a more Mediterranean-scented garden. It is important to remember flowering season when choosing plants. Many spring flowers have a very light fragrance and so can be grown together for an overall effect. Try hyacinths, bluebells and lily-of-the-valley together for a burst of scent in mid-spring. In winter, daphne and witch-hazel are perfect to add a brightness to dull winter days – both in colour and in scent. In summer, many scented flowers are moth pollinated so will continue to release scent, or even increased in scent, during the evening and nighttime. If you have a patio and are likely to sit outside on a summer evening, try planting honeysuckle, evening primroses and jasmine. Pale coloured flowers such as these are often an indication of moth pollination For a more unique scented garden, some of the more unusual scents include clove pinks, bergamot, fennel and blackcurrant sage. There are far more scented plants than could be included in this list so always do further research before planting. Most highly scented flowers are good for pollinators so get planting! About the Author – characterising scents Hi, I’m Thomas, author of these pages and student here at the garden. I have synaesthesia which allows me to associate colours with words, letters, sounds and, most relevantly, scents or smells. It can sometimes be difficult to put into words just how a flower or plant smells, so, I find associating it with a spectrum of colour helps me to choose plants that work well together. Plants with the same colour smell pair well and certain colour combinations work well too. Hopefully this page might make some sense to you as well in how to select plants for your garden; some plants have multiple scent components and, therefore, multiple colours: Rosa sp. Chaenomeles sp.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF INVENTORY No. 95 ington, D. C. Issued February, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PUNT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PUNT INDUSTRY, APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30,1928 (NOS. 76454 TO 77260) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement , 1 Inventory _ 3 Index of common and scientific names 37 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The period covered by Inventory 95—April, May, and June, 1928—was the busy time for planting in our Northern Hemisphere. But the material received is a reminder that the Southern Hemisphere is just as busy harvesting crops. Two collections of Tasmanian and Australian plants obtained by Mrs. Frieda Cobb Blanchard (Nos. 76701 to 76724, 76931 to 76967) will be of interest to plant growers in the Southwestern States, as will the collection from New Zealand (Nos. 77173 to 77214). Thirty varieties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum, Nos. 76968 to 76997) from New South Wales, Australia, will be of interest to cerealists, and a collection, mostly succulents (Nos. 77217 to 77252) from Kirsten- bosch, Cape Province, Africa, will add to the possibilities for rock gardens in the warmer parts of the country. Eight kinds of grasses from Argentina (Nos. 76878 to 76885), of possible value as forage crops, increase the receipts from the antipodes. In line with the policy of adding to the ornamental plants already in cultivation in this country, new or little known species and varieties of Abelia, Berberis, Buxus, Deutzia, Lonicera, Syringa, and other genera have been obtained from Hon. Vicary Gibbs, of England (Nos. 76550 to 76602). A collection of Japanese azaleas, mostly horticultural forms (Rhododendron spp., Nos.

  • Top 30 Vines & Climbers for Pollinators
    Top 30 Vines & Climbers A selection of annual and perennial climbers, climbing shrubs and vines with flowers to help our pollinating insects List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation About Vines and Climbers Climbing plants may be shrubs or herbaceous plants but are characterised by an ability to entwine themselves around trees or non-living structures. Vines, a subsection of climbers, specifically climb by using tendrils which twist around branches or crevasses to stabilise the plant; such as passionflowers or grapevines. Some shrubs which may climb walls are also considered climbers, such as firethorn or Japanese wisteria. Other species naturally grow up trees and hold on by wrapping their whole stem tightly around the trunk. Examples of these sort of climbers include ivy and honeysuckle. Climbers can be very useful in a garden when used carefully. They can be trained up trellises on walls, obelisk trellises or over the tops of pergolas. They can also be grown up trees or wigwam frames. Climbing plants, on the whole, will not take kindly to being planted in the middle of a border. Some will grow up small shrubs or perennials, others will attempt to grow up themselves, but, in general, it is best to always plant them with a trellis or distinct structure in which to climb up.

The immature stages of these two species are briefly reported. All species of Ahlbergia, Novosatsuma and Cissatsuma with the ‡ previously unknown are discussed, and the following taxonomic changes are given: Ahlbergia matusiki (JOHNSON, 1992) comb. nov. (= Novosatsuma matusiki JOHNSON, 1992); Cissatsu- ma pictila (JOHNSON, 1992) comb. nov. (= Ahlbergia pictila JOHNSON, 1992); Ahlbergia zhujianhuai HUANG & WU, 2003 syn. nov. (= A. circe montivaga JOHNSON, 1992). Introduction: In contrast to the richness of the “elfin” butterflies in Sichuan and YunnanJ ( OHNSON, 1992), the Sha- anxi province had been a poorly investigated province for this group. However, several Chinese collectors have been struggling to collect the “elfin” butterflies in recent years and they have yielded a rich harvest in Shaanxi province; the total number of the species of the genera Ahlbergia BRYK, 1946, Novosatsuma JOHNSON, 1992 and Cissatsuma JOHN- SON, 1992 occurring in Shaanxi is now up to ten (HUANG, unpublished data).

Received: 10 November 2018; Accepted: 11 December 2018; Published: 14 December 2018 Abstract: Plant plastomes play crucial roles in species evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction studies due to being maternally inherited and due to the moderate evolutionary rate of genomes. However, patterns of sequence divergence and molecular evolution of the plastid genomes in the horticulturally- and economically-important Lonicera L. species are poorly understood. In this study, we collected the complete plastomes of seven Lonicera species and determined the various repeat sequence variations and protein sequence evolution by comparative genomic analysis. A total of 498 repeats were identified in plastid genomes, which included tandem (130), dispersed (277), and palindromic (91) types of repeat variations. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) elements analysis indicated the enriched SSRs in seven genomes to be mononucleotides, followed by tetra-nucleotides, dinucleotides, tri-nucleotides, hex-nucleotides, and penta-nucleotides.

  • The Animal Biodiversity of Green Walls in the Urban Environment
    THE ANIMAL BIODIVERSITY OF GREEN WALLS IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT Caroline Chiquet July 2014 A thesis submitted to Staffordshire University in the subject of Ecology for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Supervised Research Caroline Chiquet. PhD Thesis. Urban animal biodiversity and green walls Caroline Chiquet. PhD Thesis. Urban animal biodiversity and green walls i “If you are not a little bit afraid every day, you are not trying hard enough.” (Anonymous) “Follow passion first and foremost. Do valuable things that have little or nothing to do with your PhD. Be utterly busy with everything awesome and worthwhile.” (Bradley L. Garrett) Caroline Chiquet. PhD Thesis. Urban animal biodiversity and green walls ii ABSTRACT Over the last few decades, a substantial body of literature has highlighted the importance of the natural environment for human well-being and health. In the urban environment where, space is particularly costly, the abundance of plants can be increased by growing them vertically as ‘green walls’, rather than horizontally. Although green walls ecology is a rapidly growing science, large gaps remain in our knowledge as only few studies have investigated their ecosystem services, focusing mainly on their thermal values. This doctoral research is one of the first attempts to establish the value of varying vertical greening systems for animal biodiversity. To identify the animal populations of green walls, surveys were carried out on bird, snail, spider and insect communities in green façades and living walls of Stoke- on-Trent, Birmingham and London, UK. The study then focused on the effects of varying characteristics of green walls (e.g.
