Sarah Price's 100 GREAT PLANTS SARAH PRICE’S 10 0 most beautiful and useful plants WORDS SARAH PRICE Some plants in my garden are familiar and beloved companions whose appearance marks the year. Other plants are exciting prospects that I’m still trialling to discover their full potential. I prefer varieties that possess the elegance and poise of their relatives in nature.

  • Writes of Spring
    On 20 March 2019 we asked people across the UK to capture the arrival of the first official day of spring and help create a crowd-sourced nature diary. More than 400 people did just that from across the four corners of the UK – celebrating this season of colour and the natural world coming to life. The following pages are a selection of the entries curated by the writer Abi Andrews. Introduction n 2018, my spring was spent in a caravan, in a glade in view of Carningli mountain, Itopped by a rocky grey outcrop with purple heathers, confettied below with vivid yellow gorse. The caravan sat within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, in an area that saw an influx of ‘back-to-the-landers’ during the seventies. In it you will find covert, sympathetically built dwellings and cooperative human communities in repurposed farmhouses, lying between woods of bent, blackened oaks, their flamboyant colonies of lichens, and boulders covered with soft and ecstatic mosses. On the moors are strange, stunted Welsh horses, their silhouettes hunched like the simplified animals of Neolithic rock art. Clear spring water gurgles up and silvers everything, running brown through the taps after a heavy rain. At night, owls call to each other. In spring 2019, I was the most attentive to the living world that I have ever been, for the transition of a season. I grew up in suburbia, and moved soon after to a city. Living closer to the land has offered me an anchoring, in noticing the seasons more: the fatigue that comes with winter darkness, the processing of firewood for next year, the harvesting of food — being reminded all the time of the future by preparing for it.

  • SRGC BULB LOG DIARY---Pictures and Text © Ian Young
    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- ISSN 2514-6114 Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 24.....................13th June 2018 Meconopsis baileyi Gardeners are always talking about the plants we “grow” however the plants grow themselves, we have to either choose those that will grow in our conditions or make such adaptions to the habitat to allow them to grow. All the Meconopsis baileyi in these pictures seeded themselves and so choose where they would grow just as they would in nature. Most plants produce large numbers of seeds that when ripe are scattered randomly; many will fall on ‘stony ground’ but some will drop onto favourable growing conditions where they will thrive. A valuable lesson I learned early on was that a good gardener is a gardener who discovers which plants grow well for them. Of course we all want to extend the number of plants we grow and take on some of the challenging ones but you will make life easier and your garden better if the core of your planting has plants that are easy in your conditions. Now many of you in hotter drier areas will be looking with envy at the way these Meconopsis seed around and grow so well here but I can assure you that I look back with equal envy at some of the plants that prefer your hotter drier conditions and that we cannot grow. Papaver cambricum (syn. Meconopsis cambrica) Some plants seem able to adapt to most growing conditions and Papaver cambricum is among those in fact it grows so well that many a gardener designates it a weed and tries to eradicate it.

    Pleione 14(2): 323 - 329. 2020. ISSN: 0973-9467 © East Himalayan Society for Spermatophyte Taxonomy doi:10.26679/Pleione.14.2.2020.323-329 Diversity and distribution of the genus Meconopsis Vig . (Papaveraceae) in the Indian Himalayan region K.S. Kanwal G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment (NIHE), Himachal Regional Centre, Mohal Kullu, Himachal Pradesh – 175 126, India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present work provides a comprehensive overview of status and distribution of genus Meconopsis Vig .( Papaveraceae) in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). Critical assessment of published literature and herbarium records on the diversity, distribution and endemism of the genus Meconopsis Vig. have been carried for the review. A total 22 taxa of Meconopsis is recorded from the IHR, out of which only 7 are reported to the Western Himalayan region (Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir & Ladakh UT), whereas Eastern Himalaya (Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, West Bengal (Darjeeling Hills) is enriched with 19 taxa and 5 taxa are observed common for Western and Eastern Himalayan region. Highest Meconopsis diversity was observed in Arucnhal Pradesh (13 taxa) followed by Sikkim (11 taxa). Several new taxa viz. Meconopsis gakyidiana, M. prainiana var. prainiana, M. prainiana var. lutea, M. merakensis var. merakensis, M. merakensis var. albolutea and M. baileyi subsp. Pratensis are recently recorded from Arunchal Pradesh. The Meconopsis taxa are mainly distributed in the alpine ecosystem ranging from 3000-4200 masl. Conservation strategy is also proposed for protection of Meconopsis taxa in the IHR. Key words Meconopsis, Papaveraceae, Distribution, Indian Himalayan Region, Conservation INTRODUCTION European species, Papaver cambricum L.

  • Un Hommage À Thomas Pynchon's Rainbow
    Un Hommage à Thomas Pynchon’s Rainbow Peter Bamfield Editions Eclipse, 2012 One of the great novels of the 20th century is Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. For those interested in the use of color as a code in literature it is a positive goldmine. Consequently, many erudite essays have been written about this aspect of the work. My activity in this area has involved an examination and compilation of the phrases in which these color codes appear. Using this database I have constructed a reading of the novel based on these phrases. In carrying out this process I set myself the following constraints; . Each phrase abstracted from the novel must contain at least one color term. The words in each phrase must be in the order used by Pynchon. The phrases subsequently used to construct sentences to be in the order in which they occur in the novel. The only freedom to be in the selection of appropriate punctuation. Arguably, the four parts of the novel can be divided into a total of eighty-one episodes. I have followed this convention and hence produced eighty-one sentences covering the four parts. All the words used in this Hommage are Thomas Pynchon’s. Editions Eclipse: http://english.utah.edu/eclipse Part 1 Beyond the Zero Episode 1 With blue shadows, cockades the color of lead, globular lights painted a dark green, velvet black surfaces. At each brown floor, a tartan of orange, rust and scarlet. Giant bananas cluster, radiant yellow, humid green. A short vertical white line begins to vanish in red daybreak.
