As a consequence of relying on non-renewable energy sources and reckless encroachment on natural habitats a lot of plant and animal species have become extinct and more and more species are getting endangered. Thus celebrating biodiversity and solidarity for all life forms, from the tiniest one to the most complex eco-systems, has been in the centre of our attention and operational activities. Keywords: durable development, ecology, endangered species. 1. Introduction Within the massive destruction of forests and forest climate, we witness significant changes, Just as the man has passed from the stage of sometimes radical of the environment. For the animal hunter and collector up to animal raiser and farmer, and plants which have survived through a long period the natural vegetation has increasingly been subject of adaptation, a new difficult era starts again.

  • Ceratostigma
    Ceratostigma Ceratostigma (/ˌsɛrətoʊˈstɪɡmə, sɪˌræ-/), or leadwort, plumbago, is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Common names are shared with the genus Plumbago. They are flowering herbaceous plants, subshrubs, or small shrubs growing to 0.3–1 m (0.98– 3.28 ft) tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 1–9 cm long, usually with a hairy margin. Some of the species are evergreen, others deciduous. The flowers are produced in a compact inflorescence, each flower with a five-lobed corolla; flower colour varies from pale to dark blue to red-purple. The fruit is a small bristly capsule containing a single seed. Selected species Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Bunge) Ceratostigma willmottianum Stapf Cultivation and uses Plants of this genus are valued in the garden for their late summer flower colour and their autumn leaf colour. The following varieties have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017): Ceratostigma has been listed as one of the 38 plants that are used to prepare Bach flower remedies, a kind of alternative medicine promoted for its effect on mental and emotional health. Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, commonly called plumbago or leadwort, is a wiry, mat-forming perennial which spreads by rhizomes to form an attractive ground cover. Typically grows 6-10" tall on generally erect stems rising from the rhizomes. Oval to obovate, shiny, medium green leaves (to 2" long) turn bronze-red in autumn. Terminal clusters of 5-petaled, gentian blue flowers (1/2 to 3/4" diameter) appear above the foliage over a long summer to frost bloom period.

  • Pruning Your Perennials
    PRUNING YOUR PERENNIALS Early season pruning: Shape or shear plants in early spring to about 6”. Remove any winter damaged foliage and avoid cutting into old wood. For early bloomers, shear back by ½ and shape after all flowering is complete. Do not prune after August. Cerastium Snow in Summer Origanum Ornamental Oregano Dianthus Pinks Salvia officinalis Garden Sage Helianthemum Sunrose Teucrium Germander Iberis Candytuft Thymus Thyme Lavendula Lavender Deadhead to encourage rebloom: Deadhead to a lateral bud. When lateral buds finish flowering, cut back to basal foliage. Let basal foliage remain through the winter. Remove winter damaged foliage in spring. Achillea Yarrow Hemerocallis Daylily Astrantia Masterwort Lythrum Purple Loosestrife Campanula Bellflower Penstemon Penstemon Catananche Cupids Dart Phlox Garden Phlox Chrysanthemum Shasta Daisy Salvia Perennial Salvia Digitalis Foxglove Stokesia Stokes Aster Echinacea Purple Coneflower Veronica Speedwell Echinops Globe Thistle Erigeron Fleabane Control size and shape after bloom: Snip off old flowering stems to improve the appearance. You can also shear back by 2/3 after flowering, or shape as desired. This often encourages fresh new growth that remains tidy for the remainder of the season. Amsonia Bluestar Willow Amsonia Geranium Perennial Geranium Baptisia Blue False Indigo Lysimachia punctata Yellow Loosestrife Euphorbia Cushion Spurge Nepeta Catmint Prune to stagger bloom or control height: Plants respond well to early season pruning which can produce shorter plants with smaller flowers.

Most are also well-adapted to other locations in the state. These drought-tolerant species can be used in naturalistic settings or in more for- mal gardens. Either way, you’ll end up with a landscape that uses less water, takes up less of your time, and looks great!

    Origins: A modern formula from Wu Hua Formula Wu Hua Tang Guandong Province. Wu Hua Formula has been used by the people of Guandong province for an indeterminable number of generations. Manufacture of Wu Hua Formula as a patent medicine began in the 20th century, around which time discussions of the formula began to appear in print. General SiGnS/SymptomS Patients will have obvious damp-heat or heat-toxin signs such as damp-heat diarrhea, gastroenteritis, intestinal parasites, blood in stools, intestinal abscess, and toxic swellings, such as carbuncles and furuncles anywhere in the body. This formula has a strong and fast action, yet is gentler on the body and more versatile than other formulas commonly used to treat damp-heat diarrhea or parasitic pathogens. Compared to other formulas that strongly resolve damp-heat and toxin, Wu Hua Formula is safer for children and the elderly.
