Retail Mail Order Catalog Otes from the Farm Your Maine Source for Hardy Perennials! 2007 RETAIL MAIL ORDER CATALOG otes from the farm For most of us in the gardening industry the weather plays an important role in our success. Here at Fieldstone Garden’s we pride N ourselves on having a broad selection of perennial plants that fit every climate imaginable. Our customers continually communicate their successes using a vast array of healthy plants they received from us throughout the year. The mild weather we have been having this past fall and spring throughout the northeast region has given us the opportunity to catch up on some much needed upgrades to the farm. We’ve added a broad palette of plants to the birch corner at the entry to Quaker Lane as well as to our fire pond. These venues make the perfect backdrop for our Open House as well as the fund raiser we host for Hospice in June. Unlike most mail order nurseries, we welcome all visitors and patrons. It’s definitely a nice walk in the park and an opportunity to purchase a plant to take home with you for your own secret garden. We are proud to offer over 2,500 plant varieties. Those not includ- ed in this catalogue are available on our website. Check them out and while your there sign up for our specials and newsletter to keep you abreast of our activities. As usual, our field-grown perennials weather the changes in climate all in stride. They have evolved the ability to thrive in the good weather and endure the bad. We are continually increasing our production of plants and adding new ones each year. This year we would like to encourage you to adapt as well to the ever changing climate. Try some of our new plants offered throughout the catalog. Send us some pictures or just drop us a line and share your successes. For some additional inspiration check out the recent articles by Fine Gardening, The New York Times, Country Living Gardener and Garden Gate just to name a few. As you will see, Fieldstone Gardens is often mentioned as a reliable source for healthy perennial plants. We look forward to sharing another successful gardening season with you.

Its attractive tomentose Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder narrow leaves remain silver in color with distinctive green spots throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Diane Clare Lungwort is an herbaceous perennial with a mounded form. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in Diane Clare Lungwort favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder characteristics. Diane Clare Lungwort is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Mass Planting - Rock/Alpine Gardens - General Garden Use - Container Planting Planting & Growing Diane Clare Lungwort will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 15 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front.

Two years after the 2017 wildfire, changes between burned and unburned plots of beech forest were analyzed for plant communities (vascular plant and cover, bryophytes diversity, structural, chorological, and ecological variables) and soil features (main chemical properties, microbial biomass and activity, bacterial community composition, and diversity), through a synchronic study. Fire-induced changes in the micro-environmental conditions triggered a secondary succession process with colonization by many native pioneer plant species. Indeed, higher frequency (e.g., Scrophularia vernalis L., Rubus hirtus Waldst. and Kit. group, and Funaria hygrometrica Hedw.) or coverage (e.g., Verbascum thapsus L.

Our work is focused both in the internal relationships among representatives of Omphalodes main subgroups (and including Omphalodes verna, the type species), and their relationships with other Cynoglosseae genera that have been related to the Omphalodes group. Our phylogenetic analysis of ITS and trnL-trnF molecular markers establish close relationships of the American Omphalodes with the genus Mimophytum, and also with Cynoglossum paniculatum and Myosotidium hortensia. The southwestern European annual Omphalodes species form a discrete group deserving taxonomic recognition. We describe two new genera to reduce the paraphyly in the genus Omphalodes, accommodating the European annual species in Iberodes and Cynoglossum paniculatum in Mapuchea. The pollen of the former taxon is described in detail for the first time. Keywords: Madrean-Tethyan, phylogeny, pollen, systematics, taxonomy Resumo Neste estudo analisamos as relacións filoxenéticas deOmphalodes (Boraginaceae, Cynoglosseae) no contexto da tribo Cynoglosseae, confirmándose como parafilético o xéneroOmphalodes .

  • Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic
    Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic Technical Report No. 3 About CAFF Theprogram for the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) of the Arctic Council was established lo address the special needs of Arctic ecosystems, species and thcir habitats in the rapid ly developing Arctic region. Itwas initiated as one of'four programs of the Arctic Environmental Protcction Strategy (AEPS) which was adopted by Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, lceland, Norway, Russia, Swcdcn and the United States through a Ministeria! Declaration at Rovaniemi, Finland in 1991. Other programs initi­ ated under the AEPS and overlaken hy the Are.tie Council are the ArcticMonitoring and assessment Programme (AMAP), the program for Emergency Prevention, Preparcd­ ness and Response (EPPR) and the program for Protection of the Arctic Marine Envi­ ronment (PAME). Sinceits inaugural mccti.ng in Ottawa, Canada in 1992, the CAFF program has provided scientists, conscrvation managers and groups, and indigenous people of the north with a distinct forum in which lo tackle a wide range of Arctic conservation issues at the cir­ cumpolar level. CAFF's main goals, which are achieved in keeping with the concepts of sustainable developrnertt and utilisation, are: • to conserve Arctic Jlora and fauna, thcir diversity and thcir habitats; • to protect the Arctic ecosystems from threats; • to improve conservation management laws, reg ulations and practices for the Arclic; • to integrale Arctic interests into global conservation fora. CAFF operates rhrough a system of Designated Agencies and National Representatives responsible for CAFF in thcir rcspcctivc countries. CAFF also has an International Work­ ing Group wh.ith has met annually to assess progrcss and to develop Annual WorkPlans.

  • Accd Nuclear Transfer of Platycodon Grandiflorum and the Plastid of Early
    Hong et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:607 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-4014-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access accD nuclear transfer of Platycodon grandiflorum and the plastid of early Campanulaceae Chang Pyo Hong1, Jihye Park2, Yi Lee3, Minjee Lee2, Sin Gi Park1, Yurry Uhm4, Jungho Lee2* and Chang-Kug Kim5* Abstract Background: Campanulaceae species are known to have highly rearranged plastid genomes lacking the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) subunit D gene (accD), and instead have a nuclear (nr)-accD. Plastid genome information has been thought to depend on studies concerning Trachelium caeruleum and genome announcements for Adenophora remotiflora, Campanula takesimana, and Hanabusaya asiatica. RNA editing information for plastid genes is currently unavailable for Campanulaceae. To understand plastid genome evolution in Campanulaceae, we have sequenced and characterized the chloroplast (cp) genome and nr-accD of Platycodon grandiflorum, a basal member of Campanulaceae. Results: We sequenced the 171,818 bp cp genome containing a 79,061 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, a 42,433 bp inverted repeat (IR) and a 7840 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, which represents the cp genome with the largest IR among species of Campanulaceae. The genome contains 110 genes and 18 introns, comprising 77 protein-coding genes, four RNA genes, 29 tRNA genes, 17 group II introns, and one group I intron. RNA editing of genes was detected in 18 sites of 14 protein-coding genes. Platycodon has an IR containing a 3′ rps12 operon, which occurs in the middle of the LSC region in four other species of Campanulaceae (T. caeruleum, A. remotiflora, C.
