    05 in the front line 21-09-2010 11:36 am Page 1 In the front line Judy Harry Plants that grow in the front line perform many functions. They have to provide the first line of defence against careless invasions by mowers, feet, even livestock (fig. 1) They form at one and the same time the start and the finish of the border, leading the eye to statuesque and imposing plants at the rear, or allowing the eye to come to a comfortable stop at the front. Which all sounds rather prosaic, not to say functional. One of the pleasures of last year’s gardening for me was being able to see some of my ‘front liners’ with fresh eyes, not just as the useful plants they undoubtedly are, but also as the star performers they can be in their own right. It all started with the flowering of Jovellana violacea (fig. 2). Having bought it as a very small plant on the 2002 Autumn Weekend, I planted it where I could keep an eye on it. Each spring, in my ignorance, I cut it back to tidy it up, assuming that it would produce flowers later in the summer: exactly the wrong thing to do. This interesting little shrublet flowers on the previous year’s wood in early summer, and Addison © Twink with time will form a thicket of upright stems, bearing pale, whitish-mauve pouched flowers with spotted throats. My poor plant, of course, never had mature enough stems to produce so much as a spot, let alone whole pouches.

  • Ehrharta Longiflora Sm. and Pennisetum Setaceum (Forsk
    EHRHARTA LONGIFLORA SM. AND PENNISETUM SETACEUM (FORSK.) CHIOV., TWO NEW ALIEN GRASSES FOR MADEIRA ISLAND (PORTUGAL) Laura Cabral*, João Pedro Ferreira*, André Brazão* Pedro Nascimento* & Miguel Menezes de Sequeira** Abstract The number of introduced, and possible introduced, taxa in the Madeira and Selvagens islands currently accounts for nearly 36% of the total flora of these archipelagos, including 53 Poaceae taxa (out of 141 Poaceae taxa), therefore constituting the family with the higher proportion of introduced taxa (38.4%). The genus Ehrharta Thunb. comprises about 35 species, with one species, E. longiflora Sm., recorded as introduced in Gran Canaria. The genus Pennisetum Rich. includes ca. 80 species of which a total of nine species are present in Macaronesia, with three: P. clandestinum Hochst. & Chiov., P. purpureum Schum. and P. villosum R. Br. ex Fresen, occurring in the Madeira archipelago. Ehrharta longiflora Sm. and Pennisetum setaceum (Forssk.) Chiov., are here recorded for the first time for the Ma- deira island, found in disturbed areas at low and medium altitudes. The finding of several mature and flowering/fructifying individuals of both species suggests a fully naturalized status. Naturalization, invasiveness and ecological impacts are discussed.

  • Garden Diary Number Seven Wildlife and Wildflowers Start Off This Garden Diary
    Garden diary number seven Wildlife and wildflowers start off this garden diary. It shows a good balance between plantsmanship and the environment when nature comes in of its own accord. When walking on a nature reserve on a warm calm day the insect and bird activity add an extra dimension which a photograph simply cannot capture. The first photo is a small wildflower patch in my own garden which is only 3 feet square but has a number of native species that attract a lot of pollinators. Just digging out the topsoil and replacing with subsoil and grit provided an ideal planting medium. Second photo is Epipactis palustris the marsh helleborine which snakes its way around this bed in a delightful fashion. Next photos were sent in by Norma Pagdin and Joan Bradbury who live in County Durham. The first photo shows self-sown orchids growing on the lawn. The land is on a magnesian limestone belt which runs from Nottingham up to this area. It surfaces in different areas creating calcareous habitats. Brockadale, Burton Leonard kiln works and Townclose Hills are reserves on this belt. The second photo is Viola odorata the sweet white violet which grows under hedgerows preferring the shade. Next page was sent in by Georgina Instone and is a well written article about their encounter with a red-legged partridge in their own garden. Wildlife in our garden – Georgina Instone. We have had something very interesting in the garden but it didn't end well. At the beginning of April, we discovered a Red-legged Partridge had chosen our garden to have its nest.

Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

    Risk analysis of alien grasses occurring in South Africa By NKUNA Khensani Vulani Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Stellenbosch University (Department of Botany and Zoology) Supervisor: Dr. Sabrina Kumschick Co-supervisor (s): Dr. Vernon Visser : Prof. John R. Wilson Department of Botany & Zoology Faculty of Science Stellenbosch University December 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: December 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Alien grasses have caused major impacts in their introduced ranges, including transforming natural ecosystems and reducing agricultural yields. This is clearly of concern for South Africa. However, alien grass impacts in South Africa are largely unknown. This makes prioritising them for management difficult. In this thesis, I investigated the negative environmental and socio-economic impacts of 58 alien grasses occurring in South Africa from 352 published literature sources, the mechanisms through which they cause impacts, and the magnitudes of those impacts across different habitats and regions. Through this assessment, I ranked alien grasses based on their maximum recorded impact. Cortaderia sellonoana had the highest overall impact score, followed by Arundo donax, Avena fatua, Elymus repens, and Festuca arundinacea.

  • 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.

  • Aspects Regarding the Ornamental Value of Plants from Eryngium Genus
    LUCRĂRI ŞTIINŢIFICE SERIA HORTICULTURĂ, 60 (2) / 2017, USAMV IAŞI ASPECTS REGARDING THE ORNAMENTAL VALUE OF PLANTS FROM ERYNGIUM GENUS ASPECTE PRIVIND VALOAREA DECORATIVĂ A PLANTELOR DIN GENUL ERYNGIUM MORARU Mihaela1, CHELARIU Elena Liliana1, BRÎNZĂ Maria1, GOANŢĂ Mirela2, DRAGHIA Lucia1 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Eryngium genus, of the Apiaceae family, includes plants characterized by morphological attributes that give them, in many situations, the status of decorative plants. Relatively modest ecological requirements and fairly good resistance to less favourable crop conditions (sunstroke, water deficit, poor soils and salinity etc.) contribute to the interest in these plants. This paper aims to highlight the possibilities of using for five Eryngium taxa (E. alpinum 'Superbum', E. planum 'Blue Sea Holly', E. planum 'Blue Hobbit', E. leavenworthii) with ornamental qualities, cultivated in the conditions of Iaşi, with a view to their promotion and superior exploitation in floral art and landscaping. Key words: Eryngium, morphology, ecology, ornamental value Rezumat. Genul Eryngium, din familia Apiaceae, cuprinde plante caracterizate prin însuşiri morfologice care le conferă, în multe situaţii, şi statutul de plante decorative. Cerinţele ecologice relativ modeste şi rezistenţa destul de bună la condiţii de cultură mai puţin favorabile altor specii (insolaţie, deficit de apă, soluri sărace şi cu salinitate crescută etc.) contribuie la creşterea interesului pentru aceste plante. Lucrarea de faţă îşi propune să evidenţieze posibilităţile de utilizare a cinci taxoni de Eryngium (E. alpinum ‘Superbum’, E. planum ‘Blue Sea Holly’, E. planum 'Blue Hobbit', E. leavenworthii) cu calităţi ornamentale, cultivaţi în condiţiile de la Iaşi, în vederea promovării şi valorificării superioare a acestora în arta florală şi în amenajări peisagistice.
