Wallace Endowed Plant Propagation Intern Date: January 2020 Abstract: In this gap analysis of the Morris Arboretum’s Hydrangea collection, I will assess the hydrangea collection with a focus on the “fuzzy leaf” varieties that fall under two classifications: Section Asperae and Section Chinenses. Within these fuzzy leaf groupings, this project will include an analysis of the collection at the species and cultivar level and will outline which hydrangeas are missing from or underrepresented in our collection, as well as recommendations for suitable additions. These recommendations favor wild collected species and species available from the collections at regional arboreta. Discussion of the controversy over nomenclature verification methods, phylogenic treatments, and theories of biological classification systems are explored in the body of this paper. This project also entails seed propagation of target species growing at the Arboretum, and cutting propagation of desired species from local institutions to diversify this growing collection.

  • French Hydrangea for Gardens in North and Central Florida1 Gary W
    ENH1069 French Hydrangea for Gardens in North and Central Florida1 Gary W. Knox2 French hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is a shade- preferring shrub producing ball-shaped or flat clusters of white, pink, blue or purple flowers, depending on soil conditions and cultivar. “Mophead” or “hortensia” hydran- geas (Figure 1) have ball-shaped flower clusters, whereas “lacecap” hydrangeas have flat clusters of tiny, spidery flowers surrounded by a ring of prominent flowers (Figure 2). French hydrangea, also known as bigleaf hydrangea, is the most widely grown species of Hydrangea. Figure 2. The lacecap flower of ‘Mowe’ in its pink form. Origin and Development of French Hydrangea Two forms of Hydrangea macrophylla are native to eastern Asia. Bigleaf hydrangea, Hydrangea macrophylla var. macrophylla, is native to China and coastal areas of Japan. Mountain hydrangea, H. macrophylla var. serrata, is native to China and upland areas of Japan and Korea. Mountain Figure 1. The mophead flower of ‘Decatur Blue’ in its blue form. hydrangea is generally smaller in size and flowers earlier. Some experts consider it more cold-hardy than bigleaf hydrangea. The two natural varieties are otherwise very similar, and both types may produce mophead or lacecap flowers, depending on the selection. 1.

  • Hydrangeas, Garden Tours, Plant Sale and Autumn in the Country
    Page 1 of 6 Lael's Moon Garden Nursery From: "Lael's Moon Garden Nursery" <[email protected]> To: "Bethany Lael" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 7:10 PM Subject: Hydrangeas, Garden Tours, Plant Sale and Autumn in the Country Lael's Moon Garden Greetings Fellow Gardeners: Finally some cooler weather so we can play in our gardens again! I am in awe of people like Dan Hinkley who have the time, energy and knowledge (not to mention money) to travel to the four corners of the world observing rare plants in their native habitats and introducing them to horticulture. My admiration is not diminished by the fact that he writes a little like Frazier Crane talks. My own study of horticulture has consisted of going on "kicks" where I try to learn as much as I can about a particular genus that piques my interest until I get jaded with it and move on to another. Over time, this has given me knowledge of lots of groups of plants with vast chasms of ignorance in between. When I first got interested in hydrangeas, I have to admit I considered the ones I had seen to be kind of "grandma plants" not worth a place in my garden. Then one day at the Washington Park Arboretum I ran into a magnificent hydrangea aspera in peak flower and a new "kick" was born. Maybe it was the hydrangea and maybe it was the fact that I am now a grandpa, but I fell in love. Since then, Bethany and I have scoured wholesale nurseries and botanical gardens to find beautiful hydrangeas for Lael's Moon Garden and some of our favorites are described below.

    Big-picture, evolutionary view of trees and shrubs (and a few of my favorite herbaceous perennials), ver. 2007-11-04 Descriptions of the trees and shrubs taken (stolen!!!) from online sources, from my own observations in and around Greenwood Lake, NY, and from these books: • Dirr’s Hardy Trees and Shrubs, Michael A. Dirr, Timber Press, © 1997 • Trees of North America (Golden field guide), C. Frank Brockman, St. Martin’s Press, © 2001 • Smithsonian Handbooks, Trees, Allen J.

(I’m not sure if this is true for the rosids and asterids, starting on page 30. I just listed them in the same order as Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II.) This document started out as my personal landscaping plan and morphed into something almost unwieldy and phantasmagorical. Key to symbols and colored text: Checkboxes indicate species and/or cultivars that I want. Checkmarks indicate those that I have (or that one of my neighbors has). Text in blue indicates shrub or hedge. (Unfinished task – there is no text in blue other than this text right here.) Text in red indicates that the species or cultivar is undesirable: • Out of range climatically (either wrong zone, or won’t do well because of differences in moisture or seasons, even though it is in the “right” zone). • Will grow too tall or wide and simply won’t fit well on my property.

The phylogeny of asterids is here explored with jackknife parsimony analysis of chloroplast DNA from 132 genera representing 103 families and all higher groups of asterids. Six different markers were used, three of the markers represent protein coding genes, rbcL, ndhF, and matK, and three other represent non-coding DNA; a region including trnL exons and the intron and intergenic spacers between trnT (UGU) to trnF (GAA); another region including trnV exons and intron, trnM and intergenic spacers between trnV (UAC) and atpE, and the rps16 intron.
