  • Flora Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington D.C. and Vicinity
    Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington, D.C. and Vicinity Presentation by Rod Simmons Ford Nature Center March 26, 2011 Spring ephemerals are wildflowers of the deciduous forest that leaf out and bloom in early through mid- spring, are pollinated, and largely disappear before the forest canopy substantially leafs out. Extensive, intermixed colonies of these plants carpet the floor of rich, mesic forests and floodplain forests throughout the region. Turkey Run Park. Photo by R.H. Simmons Photo by R.H.

Simmons Late spring foliage of Rich Cove Forest at Lost Mountain, Washington County, Virginia Photo by G.P. Fleming Photo by R.H. Simmons Spring ephemerals have evolved along with other plants, animals, and microorganisms over millennia, each occupying its special niche, to form the Eastern Deciduous Forest that many of us live in the midst of. Today, many fine remnants of this once-vast forest still remain in our region, but there is also much fragmentation and disturbance, including new threats such as invasive exotic plants and insects.

  • Dicentra Cucullaria – Dutchman's Breeches
    Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Dicentra cucullaria – Dutchman’s Breeches COMMON NAME: Dutchman’s Breeches SCIENTIFIC NAME: Dicentra cucullaria – This name comes a Greek word meaning two spurred and cucullaria refers to a hood. FLOWER: This is a very distinct shape. It is white, tinged with cream or yellow and resembles a pair of pantaloons upside down. There will be 2 to 6 pairs of these flowers on a stalk. BLOOMING PERIOD: April SIZE: 5 to 10 inches high BEHAVIOR: This spring ephemeral appears as soon as the ground thaws, blooms, sets it seed and dies back for the season in early June. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Dry to medium forests, cliffs. Flourishes on slopes with loose, rich, sandy loam. Not good for wet sites. Needs the shade of large trees such as sugar maple, basswood or red oak. NATURAL RANGE: Most of the eastern United States. Found in most of Wisconsin. SPECIAL FEATURES: This is a delicate plant with lacy leaves and the distinctly shaped flowers. The leaves are all basal and each is divided into three secondary leaflets. It takes several years for young seedlings to reach flowering size. SUGGESTED CARE: The corms (bulbs) should be planted close to the surface and well watered. Allow a cluster of showy patches to develop before thinning. Digging the corms should happen after the leaves have died back in June. In the spring it helps to remove a heavy leaf layer, especially oak leaves, so the emerging leaves get sunlight. COMPANION PLANTS: Wild leek, blue cohosh, spring beauty, toothwort, bloodroot. SPECIAL NOTE: A very similar plant, Squirrel Corn (Dicentra Canadensis) has similar leaves and flowers in a similar arrangement.

This guide is intended to help in the selection of native plants for habitat restoration, Maryland is host to a wide variety of native plants. This is due to the diversity of geo- critical area buffer management and natural landscaping projects. All of these plants graphical and climatic conditions. The state is divided into three physiographic regions are native to Maryland. Each section lists plants in alphabetical order by their Latin coastal, piedmont and mountain. You may use the map below to determine your region. names. Common names are included and are cross-referenced in the index. Growth conditions and plant characteristics are also included. State of Maryland Physiographic Regions WHAT ARE NATIVE PLANTS? A native plant is a species that originates or occurs naturally in a particular region. As our local habitat is disturbed by development, non-native and invasive plants change the character of our landscapes. Although many naturalized but introduced plants occur in most regions, the native plants listed are species that existed in Maryland when the European settlers arrived, or they are cultivars of these species.
