PERENNIALS for DIFFICULT SITES Barbara J PERENNIALS FOR DIFFICULT SITES Barbara J. Bromley, Mercer Co. Horticulturist 2015 Often we want to include perennial flowers on a site with difficult growing conditions. There is usually at least one plant that will tolerate even the most difficult conditions. Many perennials prefer a sunny location and a deep, well drained but moisture retentive soil supplemented with organic matter, but this is not always available. The following is a list of some perennial flowering plants for less than ideal conditions. Cross-referencing will give plants that are tolerant of more than one difficult location, such as dry shade or hot and wet. Most plants have a special tolerance, such as drought tolerance, only after they have recovered from transplanting and are well established. Check reliable references (books, Master Gardener Helplines, internet) for the plant characteristics and site requirements of each of the individual perennials. NOTE: The genus, (italicized name) but not species, is given for each of the listed plants. Because there are often many plants in a given genus, check references under both the common and botanical names.

Back in the late yos the landscaping around my new house consisted of three magnolias: two M. x sorrlarrgeana, and a M. x loebneri 'MerrilL' At the time, these were the only magnolias gener- ally available at local nurseries. As I watched these magnolias bloom each spring, I became more intrigued with their beautiful Bowers and began driv- ing around Green Bay to observe and admire some of the established trees. My admiration for the genus contin- ued to grow each year as I began col- lecting more information about these magnificent plants. One summer I was in the Detroit area and I decided to call this magnolia expert, Phil Savage, that I had read so much about. I can vividly remember calling Phil from a telephone booth on Telegraph Road and finding mysell, an unknown amateur, talking to a magnolia expert who from the first made me feel like a lifelong friend.

  • Ctenophore Relationships and Their Placement As the Sister Group to All Other Animals
    ARTICLES DOI: 10.1038/s41559-017-0331-3 Ctenophore relationships and their placement as the sister group to all other animals Nathan V. Whelan 1,2*, Kevin M. Kocot3, Tatiana P. Moroz4, Krishanu Mukherjee4, Peter Williams4, Gustav Paulay5, Leonid L. Moroz 4,6* and Kenneth M. Halanych 1* Ctenophora, comprising approximately 200 described species, is an important lineage for understanding metazoan evolution and is of great ecological and economic importance. Ctenophore diversity includes species with unique colloblasts used for prey capture, smooth and striated muscles, benthic and pelagic lifestyles, and locomotion with ciliated paddles or muscular propul- sion. However, the ancestral states of traits are debated and relationships among many lineages are unresolved. Here, using 27 newly sequenced ctenophore transcriptomes, publicly available data and methods to control systematic error, we establish the placement of Ctenophora as the sister group to all other animals and refine the phylogenetic relationships within ctenophores. Molecular clock analyses suggest modern ctenophore diversity originated approximately 350 million years ago ± 88 million years, conflicting with previous hypotheses, which suggest it originated approximately 65 million years ago. We recover Euplokamis dunlapae—a species with striated muscles—as the sister lineage to other sampled ctenophores. Ancestral state reconstruction shows that the most recent common ancestor of extant ctenophores was pelagic, possessed tentacles, was bio- luminescent and did not have separate sexes. Our results imply at least two transitions from a pelagic to benthic lifestyle within Ctenophora, suggesting that such transitions were more common in animal diversification than previously thought. tenophores, or comb jellies, have successfully colonized from species across most of the known phylogenetic diversity of nearly every marine environment and can be key species in Ctenophora.

  • Ceratostigma
    Ceratostigma Ceratostigma (/ˌsɛrətoʊˈstɪɡmə, sɪˌræ-/), or leadwort, plumbago, is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Common names are shared with the genus Plumbago. They are flowering herbaceous plants, subshrubs, or small shrubs growing to 0.3–1 m (0.98– 3.28 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 1–9 cm long, usually with a hairy margin. Some of the species are evergreen, others deciduous. The flowers are produced in a compact inflorescence, each flower with a five-lobed corolla; flower colour varies from pale to dark blue to red-purple. The fruit is a small bristly capsule containing a single seed. Selected species Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Bunge) Ceratostigma willmottianum Stapf Cultivation and uses Plants of this genus are valued in the garden for their late summer flower colour and their autumn leaf colour. The following varieties have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017): Ceratostigma has been listed as one of the 38 plants that are used to prepare Bach flower remedies, a kind of alternative medicine promoted for its effect on mental and emotional health. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, commonly called plumbago or leadwort, is a wiry, mat-forming perennial which spreads by rhizomes to form an attractive ground cover. Typically grows 6-10" tall on generally erect stems rising from the rhizomes. Oval to obovate, shiny, medium green leaves (to 2" long) turn bronze-red in autumn. Terminal clusters of 5-petaled, gentian blue flowers (1/2 to 3/4" diameter) appear above the foliage over a long summer to frost bloom period.
