Fraser's Thimble Farms Fraser’s Thimble Farm 175 Arbutus Rd. Salt Spring Island, B.C. V8K 1A3 Canada Ph/ Fax(250) 537-5788 Specializing in Native, Rare and Unusual Plants at www.thimblefarms.com Hours of Operation: Open 9am-4:30pm daily February 9 th through August September through January open Tuesday through Saturday 9am-4:30pm Welcome to our 2016 catalogue. We have made many new and exciting additions to our plant offerings this year, arisaemas, disporums, polygonatums, primulas, dwarf hostas and hepaticas to name a few. We will have an ever increasing selection of hepaticas available at the nursery, both European and Japanese forms. We’ll have a good selection of hepaticas that can be chosen in bloom at the nursery this year. We are also developing hundreds of new cultivars that you will soon be able to order or pick in bloom for future availability. At this point it looks like spring is going to come early. We have hellebores, the first hepaticas, cyclamen, scoliopus, witch hazels and sarcococca all starting to bloom the first week in January as well as adonis, edgeworthia and many others starting to push their flower buds. This year we will have four events: Helleborganza, our Yukiwariso (hepatica) festival, Growing Native and Orchidmania. Watch the website (events page) or go to our facebook page for details, including the best bloom timing especially for the Yukiwariso festival. The website lists only a small portion of what is available at the Nursery. Our first major event in 2016 will be ‘Helleborganza’(Hellebores), February 12th-March 31st . Helleborganza is our celebration of hellebores and other early blooming perennials including species snowdrops, winter aconites, adonis, double hepaticas and bulbocodium to name a few. We are absolutely hellebore crazy and love to see the reaction of people (especially those new to hellebores) when they see the incredible diversity in both blooms and foliage at a time of year when we can all use more colour in our gardens. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the dedicated hellebore breeders around the world who have toiled over the last twenty odd years to bring us so many fine plants. The event will run over a month this year as every day more and more plants come into bloom. As we did last year, we will also offer an assortment of smaller and larger plant sizes. Please see our website, www.thimblefarms.com for mouth watering pictures. This year we have increased our numbers in the varieties and strains we believe have the best flower colour and put on the best show, like the Winter Jewels strains. Discounts and specials will be offered at the nursery at this time. Our next event, March 15th (?) – April 14th will be our Yukiwariso festival, a celebration of hepaticas. We would really like to encourage people to look at some of the images on our facebook page that show the incredible diversity in this group. Timing of this event is hard so in mid-march we will post an update on the events pages as to the best time to visit. I encourage those interested to look at our events page and our Japanese hepatica page. Our third event will be ‘Growing Native’ (Native Plants), May 1 st-7th and we will offer 20% off native plants during this week. This event is designed to feature and promote the use of native plants. We grow a vast array of Pacific Northwest and North American native plants. This year we’ll be hosting the event in our growing area and hopefully we’ve timed it to catch the peak of the blooming season for many of our favourite wildflowers. Check the events page on our website. Our fourth event held in conjunction with ‘Growing Native’ is ‘Orchidmania’. The number of hardy ground orchids has exploded and we would like gardeners to become more familiar with these beauties. The hybrids are very easy to grow and make a valuable and unique addition to the garden. We also have many species for the purist, some of which are easy to grow and some are not. All ground orchids will be 10% off during this week. We will also be holding classes during Orchidmania on how to grow and care for your hardy orchids. The Fee will be $50.00 for the class and at the end of the class you will receive a $50.00 voucher for use on the purchase of Hardy Orchids. Find out all you need to know on how to grow these hardy garden orchids and ask as many question as you like. We would like to offer a PDF version of the catalogue via email as well as occasional emails about new offerings. If you would like to receive these emails please see the instructions on page two. New plants will be posted on our Facebook page as well as a new page on our web site called ‘New Plants’ before being posted in the main listing of the website. This way we will be able to post new plants throughout the year. There are new plant introductions scattered throughout the catalogue in almost every group of plants we grow. Please keep in mind we have thousands more plants available at the nursery. We would like to thank our customers, staff and suppliers for a great year and we’re looking forward to a fantastic 2016, 1 Thank you, Richard and Nancy Fraser Fraser’s Thimble Farm 175 Arbutus Rd.

It has been officially classed in the past as Orchis as well as Gymnadenia. But ever since Maekawa in 1971 with the publication of his beautifully illustrated Wild Orchids of Japan in Colour, the name Ponerorchis has held sway and continues to do so to this day.

Orchids need to select an appropriate fungus among diverse soil fungi at the germination stage. However, there is limited understanding of the process by which orchids recruit fungal associates and initiate the symbiotic interaction. This study aimed to better understand this process by focusing on the seed coat, the first point of fungal attachment. Bletilla striata seeds, some with the seed coat removed, were prepared and sown with symbiotic fungi or with pathogenic fungi. The seed coat-stripped seeds inoculated with the symbiotic fungi showed a lower germination rate than the intact seeds, and proliferated fungal hyphae were observed inside and around the stripped seeds. Inoculation with the pathogenic fungi increased the infection rate in the seed coat-stripped seeds. The pathogenic fungal hyphae were arrested at the suspensor side of the intact seeds, whereas the seed coat-stripped seeds were subjected to severe infestation.

  • The Peony Group Newsletter Autumn 2015
    The Peony Group of the Hardy Plant Society Newsletter Autumn 2015 !1 Paeonia decomposita Paeonia peregrina Paeonia tenuifolia In Tom Mitchell’s poly tunnel !2 Editorial John Hudson In this issue we have, as well as reports from the of5icers and an account of the 2015 Peony Day, two welcome articles from new members. Sue Hough and Sue Lander are both active in the Ranunculaceae group of the HPS. There is quite a strong common membership with our group; several of us attended both group meetings, which were on successive days, this year. The peonies were in the Ranunculaceae once (indeed, still are in one well-known catalogue) : to many of us peonies looK more liKe hellebores than aquilegias do. Sue Hough's article also promoted interest in the P. obovata group as the succeeding article shows. We also have the latest of Judy Templar's reports on peonies in the wild. At the other end of the peony spectrum, Itoh hybrids are becoming well Known, as many of us saw on the Peony Day and as we shall see at Claire Austin's nursery in 2016. Irene Tibbenham drew my attention to the promotion of a new race of "Patio Peonies" for growing in pots in small gardens; see https://www.rhs.org.uK/plants/plants-blogs/plants/november-2014/patio-peonies. It remains to be seen if these catch on. They are unliKely to usurp the place of Lacti5lora peonies, those most sumptuous of early summer 5lowers, which are the theme of our next Peony Day. ThanKs to Sandra Hartley for her account of this year’s peony day.

By Wilhelm (Bill) Bischoff / member BC Council of Garden Clubs If you can accept that the island called Santorini in the central Mediterranean, also known as Thira / Tera, is the original Island of Atlantis; if you also can agree that this Island had a terrific volcanic explosion more than 3,000 years ago, than I can share with you an equally fantastic botanical story with you. That today’s Thira is the remnant of an exploded volcano is quite evident when one looks at a map of this region of the Mediterranean. Located as part of the Aegean Islands, just north of Crete, it shows the unmistakable shape of a water filled volcanic caldera with a center-cone island. Scientists have identified volcanic ash taken from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, close to the Lebanese coast, as originating from Thira. The time frame of some 3300 years ago also coincides with the beginning of a rather tumultuous time in this part of the ancient world, the end of the “Bronze Age”. The possible cause of that could well have been a natural disaster, in the very heart of the ancient world as we know it. Now that I have your attention and possibly have whetted your curiosity, let me introduce you to one of the small wonders of this very ancient world, the beautiful Cyclamen, all 22 species of them.

  • A History of Orchids. a History of Discovery, Lust and Wealth
    Scientific Papers. Series B, Horticulture. Vol. LXIV, No. 1, 2020 Print ISSN 2285-5653, CD-ROM ISSN 2285-5661, Online ISSN 2286-1580, ISSN-L 2285-5653 A HISTORY OF ORCHIDS. A HISTORY OF DISCOVERY, LUST AND WEALTH Nora Eugenia D. G. ANGHELESCU1, Annie BYGRAVE2, Mihaela I. GEORGESCU1, Sorina A. PETRA1, Florin TOMA1 1University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 59 Mărăști Blvd, District 1, Bucharest, Romania 2Self-employed, London, UK Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract Orchidaceae is the second largest families of flowering plants. There are approximately 900 orchid genera comprising between 28,000-32,000 species of orchids. The relationship between orchids and mankind is complex. The history of orchids’ discovery goes hand in hand with the history of humanity, encompassing discovery and adventure, witchcraft and magic, symbolism and occultism, addiction and sacrifice, lust and wealth. Historically, the Chinese were the first to cultivate orchids as medicinal plants, more than 4000 years ago. Gradually, records about orchids spread, reaching the Middle East and Europe. Around 300 B.C., Theophrastus named them for the first time orkhis. In 1737, Carl Linnaeus first used the word Orchidaceae to designate plants with similar features. The family name, Orchidaceae was fully established in 1789, by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. In 1862, Charles Darwin published the first edition of his book, Fertilisation of Orchids. Darwin considered the adaptations of orchid flowers to their animal pollinators as being among the best examples of his idea of evolution through natural selection. Orchidology was on its way. During the 18th and the 19th centuries, orchids generated the notorious Orchid Fever where orchid-hunters turned the search for orchids into a frantic and obsessive hunt.
