  • Solomon's Seal Cultivation
    SOLOMON’S SEAL: CULTIVATION & FOLKLORE Edited by C. F. McDowell, PhD Cortesia Herbal Products • www.solomonsseal.net Solomon's Seal (polygonatum biflorum, multiflorum, odoratum, etc.) is a medicinal herb that has diverse health restorative properties. It can be used as a herbal tincture, salve, tea or supplement. As an alternative remedy, it may offer relief, healing or mending to sports injuries and other conditions related to tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, bruises, connecting tissues, cartilage, etc. It also soothes and repairs gastrointestinal inflammation and injuries. It is effective for feminine issues, such as menstrual cramps, PMS, bleeding, and the like. Additionally, it is known to lower blood pressure and relieve dry coughs. Solomon's Seal has a rich history that goes back many thousands of years. Herbalists and healers, both in Europe and North America and the Far East, have written about its diverse effects on numerous conditions. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Natural Resources Conservation Service) identified Solomon's Seal as a Culturally Significant Plant, noting its medicinal and restorative value among North American Tribal (Original Nation) peoples. It is our understanding that the National Institutes of Health is presently researching the benefits of Solomon's Seal for heart health. Western documentation is largely anecdotal. Gardener's and nature lovers know the plant well, for it is easily identifiable and can be cultivated. Wellness practitioners using alternative healing methods are somewhat familiar with the plant and praise it; however, their number is still small and documentation is limited. Herbalists, chiropractors, among others are increasingly validating Solomon's Seal's effectiveness.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Fragrant White Lily of the Valley FREQUENTLY ASKED
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY DO WE LOVE LILY OF THE VALLEY? Lily of the Valley is an iconic plant that has been referenced for thousands of years. To us, that means it must be easy to grow! Another thing we love about Lily of the Valley is that it is one of the first fragrant flowers of springtime, offering up a delicate, clean sweet fragrance that just about everyone loves. WHERE ARE THEY BEST PLANTED? Not many plants flower in the shade. Lily of the Valley is one of them. It will flower in the part shade to part sun. It is also highly adaptable and can thrive in both moist shade and dry shade. You can expect wonderful lushness from these plants. DO THEY MULTIPLY? Yes. Lily of the Valley can be a wonderfully aggressive grower filling a little bit more of the shady garden with each passing season. They will self-seed and naturalize in your garden, producing more and more of their fragrant flowers every year. WHAT ABOUT IN THE WINTER? During the wintertime your plants will go dormant. However, in the garden, this winter hardy herbaceous perennial can handle temperatures down to minus -40F and will come back fuller and stronger each season. In containers they can handle temperatures down to about minus -30F. CAN THEY GROW IN CONTAINERS? Of course. Planting Lily of the Valley in containers is a great way to enjoy their fragrance on your porch or patio. Simply transplant them into an 8-12” pot. You can even bring them indoors in the winter and enjoy them as a green houseplant that may or may not produce a few beautiful bell flowers in the home.
