AREA � Native plants are species that existed in Virginia before Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. They are uniquely adapted to local conditions. Native plants provide food and shelter for a myriad of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Best of all, gardeners can feel the satisfaction of preserving a part of our natural heritage while enjoying the beauty of native plants in the garden. Hardy herbaceous perennials form little or no woody tissue and live for several years. Some of these plants are short-lived and may live only three years, such as wild columbine, while others can live for decades. They are a group of plants that gardeners are very passionate about because of their lovely foliage and flowers, as well as their wide variety of textures, forms, and heights. Most of these plants are deciduous and die back to the ground in the winter. Ferns, in contrast, have no flowers but grace our gardens with their beautiful foliage. Herbaceous perennials and ferns are a joy to garden with because they are easily moved to create new design combinations and provide an ever-changing scene in the garden. They are appropriate for a wide range of shade gardens, from more formal gardens to naturalistic woodland gardens. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) – a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Bride’.

  • Native Plants of East Central Illinois and Their Preferred Locations”
    OCTOBER 2007 Native Plants at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Campus: A Sourcebook for Landscape Architects and Contractors James Wescoat and Florrie Wescoat with Yung-Ching Lin Champaign, IL October 2007 Based on “Native Plants of East Central Illinois and their Preferred Locations” An Inventory Prepared by Dr. John Taft, Illinois Natural History Survey, for the UIUC Sustainable Campus Landscape Subcommittee - 1- 1. Native Plants and Plantings on the UIUC Campus This sourcebook was compiled for landscape architects working on projects at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus and the greater headwaters area of east central Illinois.1 It is written as a document that can be distributed to persons who may be unfamiliar with the local flora and vegetation, but its detailed species lists and hotlinks should be useful for seasoned Illinois campus designers as well. Landscape architects increasingly seek to incorporate native plants and plantings in campus designs, along with plantings that include adapted and acclimatized species from other regions. The term “native plants” raises a host of fascinating scientific, aesthetic, and practical questions. What plants are native to East Central Illinois? What habitats do they occupy? What communities do they form? What are their ecological relationships, aesthetic characteristics, and practical limitations? As university campuses begin to incorporate increasing numbers of native species and areas of native planting, these questions will become increasingly important. We offer preliminary answers to these questions, and a suite of electronic linkages to databases that provide a wealth of information for addressing more detailed issues. We begin with a brief introduction to the importance of native plants in the campus environment, and the challenges of using them effectively, followed by a description of the database, online resources, and references included below.

  • Toronto Master Gardeners Ask Plant Id Questions
    TORONTO MASTER GARDENERS ASK PLANT ID QUESTIONS Image Question Answer Growing in ditches beside a gravel road It is challenging to identify a plant from a single leaf, and I consulted our team in Township of Perry 25 minutes north of Master Gardeners, several of whom feel that the plant is likely some sort of Huntsville. Cant find it in any of our of dock. Consider the following: reference books. Leaves are emerging from ground singly and veins are deep ñ Rumex sanguineus var.sanguineus (red-veined or bloody red. dock). See the Missouri Botanical Garden monograph ñ Rumex obtusifolius (broadleaved dock/ bitter dock). See Illinois Wildflowers – Bitter Dock ñ Rumex aquaticus (Scottish dock). See Nature Gate’s Scottish Dock Another suggestion was this might be pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana). See Ohio State University’s Ohio Perennial and Biennial Weed May 2019 Guide – Common PokeweedClick on the above links and you'll see photos that show that these plants have leaves that resemble those of your mystery plant, in many respects. However, with docks and the common pokeweed, leaves generally emerge from the same clump, not singly. As well, these plants have lance-shaped leaves, which seem to differ quite a bit from the oblong-shaped leaf of shown in the photo you submitted.Finally, it is possible that the plant is related to dock, but is a sorrel (Rumex acetosa) - some sorrels have leaves that are shaped more like the leaf in your photo. For example, see Nature Gate's Common sorrel My neighbour gave me this plant, that I Your neighbour gave you a Bergenia cordifolia, commonly called Bergenia or planted las year.

  • Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster
    Bee-Friendly Flowers: Aster Like fireworks to celebrate the coming of fall, the vibrant pinks, purples, and whites of the star flowers burst into bloom just as summer flowers fade. They are ubiquitous, lighting up meadows, woodlands, river bottoms, salt marshes, sand dunes, roadsides, and waste places. There are many native species of asters in North America, but it’s hard to put a precise number on them. The problem is that asters used to be classified with their own genus, but recent strides in DNA analysis have made scientists rethink where to put them. Plants that used to be lumped into the genus Aster are now split into Symphiotrichum, Eurybia, Solidago, and Machaeranthera just to name a few. Not all taxonomists are onboard with the change, so many botanical New England aster sources list more than one name for the same plant. Despite the confusion about what to call them, the variety of asters is enormous. Hybridization between species frequently occurs in the wild and there are a plethora of human-created hybrids and cultivars. Some have clouds of tiny flowers and some have blossoms as large as daisies. What they all have in common is that each aster flower is a composite of numerous disc and ray florets, which collectively give the appearance of a single large flower. The center holds the disc florets, which are tubular, house the nectar, and are usually yellow, orange, or brownish in color. Those near the bullseye location have both stamens and pistils and can provide pollen to visiting insects. The outer discs are all females and only have pistils to receive pollen.

  • Streamhead Canebrakes Are Treeless Or Sparsely Treed Vegetation Dominated by Arundinaria Tecta in Seepage-Fed Drainages
    STREAMHEAD CANEBRAKE Concept: Streamhead Canebrakes are treeless or sparsely treed vegetation dominated by Arundinaria tecta in seepage-fed drainages. Tree plus broadleaf shrub cover is generally less than 25 percent in good examples but may be higher if fire frequency has been reduced. Most of this rare community type is in the Sandhills Region, but it might occur in sand dune areas elsewhere in the Coastal Plain. Distinguishing Features: Streamhead Canebrakes are distinguished from other communities of seepage-fed streamheads by the dominance of Arundinaria tecta combined with low cover of trees and other shrubs (less than 25 percent). They are distinguished from Peatland Canebrakes by occurring in streamheads rather than in flat or domed peatlands, Carolina bays, or shallow outer Coastal Plain swales. Synonyms: Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta Shrubland (CEGL003843) (not distinguished from Peatland Canebrake in NVC). Atlantic Coastal Plain Streamhead Seepage Swamp, Pocosin and Baygall (CES203.252). Sites: Streamhead Canebrakes occur along mucky headwater and small stream bottoms in dissected sandhill areas, where soils are kept saturated by seepage. Soils: Soils are mucky mineral soils, most often mapped as Johnston (Cumulic Humaquept). Hydrology: Hydrology is typical of the theme as a whole, with long-term saturation by nutrient- poor water but with little or no stream flooding or standing water. Vegetation: Vegetation consists of a dense thicket of Arundinaria tecta and limited cover of broadleaf shrubs. Pinus serotina, Liriodendron tulipifera, Pinus taeda, Nyssa biflora, and Magnolia virginiana may form a sparse canopy. Any of the species of Streamhead Pocosin may be present in moderate numbers. Lyonia lucida is the most abundant other shrub in CVS plot data.

  • White Wood Aster
    Northeast Temperate Network National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring Program U.S. Department of the Interior ecies White Wood Aster SPotlight Eurybia divaricata August 2016 Spring is no doubt the showiest time of year for woodland wildflowers, especially contrasted with the recently departed monochrome blanket of snow. Bloodroot, trout lilies, trillium and many other colorful beauties steal the show. As summer progresses cohosh, jack-in-the-pulpit, and ferns take center stage. It is not until late summer, when most other wildflowers have dropped their petals and are preparing for a long winter under snow and ice, that the wood asters finally get to have their chance. Though there all along, they bide their time until their understated white blooms can take advantage of mature insects for pollination and of cooler temperatures for setting seed. What is it?

The landscape character of the Badger Mountain South community as identified in these standards borrows heavily from the precedent of the original shrub-steppe landscape found here. However that historical character is joined with other opportunities for a more refined and urban landscape pattern that relates to edges of uses and defines spaces into activity areas. This section is divided into the following sub-sections: Guiding Principles, which suggest the overall orientation for all landscape applications; Common Standards, which apply to all Districts; District-specific landscape standards; and finally extensive plant lists of materials suitable in a variety of situations. 1.
