  • Pruning Your Perennials
    PRUNING YOUR PERENNIALS Early season pruning: Shape or shear plants in early spring to about 6”. Remove any winter damaged foliage and avoid cutting into old wood. For early bloomers, shear back by ½ and shape after all flowering is complete. Do not prune after August. Cerastium Snow in Summer Origanum Ornamental Oregano Dianthus Pinks Salvia officinalis Garden Sage Helianthemum Sunrose Teucrium Germander Iberis Candytuft Thymus Thyme Lavendula Lavender Deadhead to encourage rebloom: Deadhead to a lateral bud. When lateral buds finish flowering, cut back to basal foliage. Let basal foliage remain through the winter. Remove winter damaged foliage in spring. Achillea Yarrow Hemerocallis Daylily Astrantia Masterwort Lythrum Purple Loosestrife Campanula Bellflower Penstemon Penstemon Catananche Cupids Dart Phlox Garden Phlox Chrysanthemum Shasta Daisy Salvia Perennial Salvia Digitalis Foxglove Stokesia Stokes Aster Echinacea Purple Coneflower Veronica Speedwell Echinops Globe Thistle Erigeron Fleabane Control size and shape after bloom: Snip off old flowering stems to improve the appearance. You can also shear back by 2/3 after flowering, or shape as desired. This often encourages fresh new growth that remains tidy for the remainder of the season. Amsonia Bluestar Willow Amsonia Geranium Perennial Geranium Baptisia Blue False Indigo Lysimachia punctata Yellow Loosestrife Euphorbia Cushion Spurge Nepeta Catmint Prune to stagger bloom or control height: Plants respond well to early season pruning which can produce shorter plants with smaller flowers. Delayed flowering will also occur. Plants in different areas can be pruned for delayed peak bloom.

  • Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
    PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

  • Pollinators and Nectar Producing Plants
    Pollinators and Nectar Producing Plants A pollinator is any animal that acts as an agent for distributing pollen from plant to plant. Pollinators ensure full harvests and seed production from many agricultural crops and provide for healthy plants grown in backyards, community gardens, and rural and urban areas. Populations of insect pollinators such as butterflies and bees have declined dramatically in recent years. Even though we'd all be in trouble without pollinators, many people ignore their value and at worst eradicate them with indiscriminate pesticide application and habitat destruction. Pollinators are worth protecting for their own sakes, but we would do well to remember that these creatures facilitate reproduction in 90% of the world's flowering plants, and that--on average--one in every three bites of food we humans take comes courtesy of an animal pollinator. When people think of pollination, many focus on bees. In many cases the use of insecticides for pest control has had the unwelcome side effect of killing the bees necessary for pollinating crops. Such environmental stresses plus several species of parasitic mites devastated honeybee populations in the United States beginning in the 1980s, making it necessary for farmers to rent bees from keepers throughout the U.S. in order to get their crops pollinated and greatly affecting the pollination of plants in the wild. Bees are the principal pollinators, but there are other important pollinators as well. These include other insects such as flies, moths, butterflies, wasps, and even some beetles. They also include hummingbirds and bats. Creating an enjoyable and environmentally friendly backyard habitat helps support all valuable pollinators.

  • Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)
    Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants.

  • Koroteeva D. the INSECTS – VISITORS of MALVA ALCEA L. IN
    channel of collimator provides significant increase in output of reference radiation from target simultaneously decreasing unneeded parts of the spectrum. To decrease flux of thermal neutrons using borated polyethylene is rec- ommended. Koroteeva D. Belarusian State University, Minsk, Republic of Belarus THE INSECTS – VISITORS OF MALVA ALCEA L. IN BELARUS Analysing of anthophilous insects communities has a great significance in the process of studying of the symbiotic relationship between pollinators and plants. Anthophilous insects as pollinators play an important role in the pollination and seed reproduction of plants. Pollinators can provide the efficiency of seed produc- tion process in many different ways. Studying the species composition of pollina- tors of any particular plant may help in predicting similar results during studying of another plant from this family or genus. Malva alcea L. is an introducent in Belarusian flora. Thereby studying of polli- nators’ community may help in the process of analyzing interspecies communica- tion between different similar to Malva alcea L. plants during the process of introduction process of Malva alcea L. to our flora. The collecting of insects was held during July, 2016. Insects were caught on the territory of the botanical garden of biology faculty of BSU, Minsk. Insects were caught one by one in the moment of visiting the inflorescence of Malva alcea L., then they were placed in the tubes with alcohol for pollen cargo analysis. The taxo- nomic identification has been established with the key. Malva alcea L. is a plant in the mallow family native to southwestern, central and eastern Europe, also it can be found in southwestern Asia.

  • Phylogeny and Biogeography of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) with Special Reference to the South American Valerians Charles D.Bell Ã,1, Michael J.Donoghue
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 5 (2005) 147–159 www.elsevier.de/ode Phylogeny and biogeography of Valerianaceae (Dipsacales) with special reference to the South American valerians Charles D.Bell Ã,1, Michael J.Donoghue Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 065211, USA Received 22 April 2004; accepted 26 October 2004 Abstract Species of Valerianaceae are a common component of the alpine flora throughout the Northern Hemisphere as well as the Andes of South America.Sequence data from three chloroplast markers ( psbA-trnH intron, trnK-matK intron, and the trnL-F region) along with the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were used to infer relationships within Valerianaceae.Both genomes, as well as a combined data set, provide support for the major clades within the group and do not support a monophyletic Valeriana.In addition, these data indicate that Plectritis is nested within South American Valeriana, as opposed to being sister to Centhranthus as previously hypothesized. Valerianaceae appear to have originated in Asia, probably in the Himalayas, and subsequently to have dispersed several times to Europe and to the New World.Our results imply that Valerianaceae colonized South America on multiple occasions from the north.In one of these cases there appears to have been a substantial and rapid radiation, primarily in the high elevation paramo habitat.A variety of methods were used to estimate divergence times to determine when Valerianaceae might have colonized South America.Regardless of the method and fossil constraints applied, our estimates suggest that Valerianaceae colonized South America prior to the formation of the Isthmus of Panama.
