    April 24, 2020 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships and sponsors. You can support TPF by shopping the online gift store as well. A new, pay by phone, contactless plant pickup system is now available. Details here. Widespread closures remain in place. If you find an accessible trail, please practice social distancing precautions. The purpose for the Wild Flower Hotline now is NOT to send you out to localities to view wild flowers, but to post photos that assure you—virtually—that California’s wild spaces are still open for business for flowers and their pollinators. This week Mother Nature turned on the furnace and with the hot temperatures, our spring love fest with the beloved California poppy will soon come to an end. Throughout the state, poppies are setting both seed and promise for a glorious Spring 2021. Antelope Valley and the surrounding area has a great display of luminous orange California poppies (Eschscholzia californica), electric yellow monolopia (Monolopia lanceolata) and patches of goldfields (Lasthenia sp.). Spotted among the overwhelming yellow-orange color, are lupine (Lupinus spp.), tansy leafed phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) and popcorn flower (Cryptantha spp.). You do not need to leave your home to see the poppies at the Antelope Valley State Poppy Reserve. Just view the live stream online at the preserve via the PoppyCam.

  • Thesis Draft Rough
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Plant-pollinator interactions across California grassland and coastal scrub vegetation types on San Bruno Mountain, San Mateo County by Miles Gordon Brooks Class of 2020 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors from the College of the Environment Middletown, Connecticut April, 2020 1 2 Abstract Animal pollination of plants is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function, worldwide. High pollinator abundance and diversity can likewise improve the reproductive success of the plant community. Plant-pollinator interaction networks have the potential to identify dominant, specialist, and generalist pollinator species within a system, and their host plant counterparts. Understanding these relationships is paramount for buffering natural systems from biodiversity loss in a world where pollinator abundance continues to decline rapidly. San Bruno Mountain (SBM) in San Mateo County, California, is one of the last natural, open spaces in the urban landscape in the northern San Francisco Peninsula. I conducted a series of timed meanders and vegetation surveys at eight sample sites within SBM (four grassland and four coastal scrub sites) to identify plant species prevalence and pollinator species visitation of flowering plants. I employed a multivariate approach for investigating plant and pollinator species richness, plant and pollinator community composition, and trophic-level interactions across the SBM landscape, and I evaluated differences in these relationships between grassland and coastal scrub habitats. A total of 59 pollinator species and 135 plant species were inventoried over the course of the study.

  • 44 * Papaveraceae 1
    44 * PAPAVERACEAE 1 Dennis I Morris 2 Annual or perennial herbs, rarely shrubs, with latex generally present in tubes or sacs throughout the plants. Leaves alternate, exstipulate, entire or more often deeply lobed. Flowers often showy, solitary at the ends of the main and lateral branches, bisexual, actinomorphic, receptacle hypogynous or perigynous. Sepals 2–3(4), free or joined, caducous. Petals (0–)4–6(–12), free, imbricate and often crumpled in the bud. Stamens usually numerous, whorled. Carpels 2-many, joined, usually unilocular, with parietal placentae which project towards the centre and sometimes divide the ovary into several chambers, ovules numerous. Fruit usually a capsule opening by valves or pores. Seeds small with crested or small raphe or with aril, with endosperm. A family of about 25 genera and 200 species; cosmopolitan with the majority of species found in the temperate and subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. 6 genera and 15 species naturalized in Australia; 4 genera and 9 species in Tasmania. Papaveraceae are placed in the Ranunculales. Fumariaceae (mostly temperate N Hemisphere, S Africa) and Pteridophyllaceae (Japan) are included in Papaveraceae by some authors: here they are retained as separate families (see Walsh & Norton 2007; Stevens 2007; & references cited therein). Synonymy: Eschscholziaceae. Key reference: Kiger (2007). External resources: accepted names with synonymy & distribution in Australia (APC); author & publication abbre- viations (IPNI); mapping (AVH, NVA); nomenclature (APNI, IPNI). 1. Fruit a globular or oblong capsule opening by pores just below the stigmas 2 1: Fruit a linear capsule opening lengthwise by valves 3 2. Stigmas joined to form a disk at the top of the ovary; style absent 1 Papaver 2: Stigmas on spreading branches borne on a short style 2 Argemone 3.

    gardening by subtraction with ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHS Self-Sowers BY KAREN BUSSOLINI Whether they bloom briefly or look good year-round, easily removed self-sowing plants play many roles in the garden and can be a boon for the busy gardener. VEN AS A kid I never understood why Grumple Eddy, my crabby Eold uncle, cursed the Johnny jump-ups (Viola tricolor) that popped up in his garden each spring, going after them with a hoe and a scowl. Not only did I love their cheerful purple-and-yel- low faces, but because they self-seeded with abandon, they had a delightful pen- chant for appearing in unexpected places. Unlike my uncle, I welcome plants that sow themselves in my garden, where they create random jazzy combinations and make themselves at home in places I would never have considered. Self-sown plants also save me from having to buy and re- plant my tried-and-true garden favorites each year. Instead, I practice gardening by subtraction—that is, I simply remove the plants where they are not wanted.
