Aspects Regarding the Ornamental Value of Plants from Eryngium Genus
LUCRĂRI ŞTIINŢIFICE SERIA HORTICULTURĂ, 60 (2) / 2017, USAMV IAŞI ASPECTS REGARDING THE ORNAMENTAL VALUE OF PLANTS FROM ERYNGIUM GENUS ASPECTE PRIVIND VALOAREA DECORATIVĂ A PLANTELOR DIN GENUL ERYNGIUM MORARU Mihaela1, CHELARIU Elena Liliana1, BRÎNZĂ Maria1, GOANŢĂ Mirela2, DRAGHIA Lucia1 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The Eryngium genus, of the Apiaceae family, includes plants characterized by morphological attributes that give them, in many situations, the status of decorative plants. Relatively modest ecological requirements and fairly good resistance to less favourable crop conditions (sunstroke, water deficit, poor soils and salinity etc.) contribute to the interest in these plants. This paper aims to highlight the possibilities of using for five Eryngium taxa (E. alpinum 'Superbum', E. planum 'Blue Sea Holly', E. planum 'Blue Hobbit', E. leavenworthii) with ornamental qualities, cultivated in the conditions of Iaşi, with a view to their promotion and superior exploitation in floral art and landscaping. Key words: Eryngium, morphology, ecology, ornamental value Rezumat. Genul Eryngium, din familia Apiaceae, cuprinde plante caracterizate prin însuşiri morfologice care le conferă, în multe situaţii, şi statutul de plante decorative. Cerinţele ecologice relativ modeste şi rezistenţa destul de bună la condiţii de cultură mai puţin favorabile altor specii (insolaţie, deficit de apă, soluri sărace şi cu salinitate crescută etc.) contribuie la creşterea interesului pentru aceste plante. Lucrarea de faţă îşi propune să evidenţieze posibilităţile de utilizare a cinci taxoni de Eryngium (E. alpinum ‘Superbum’, E. planum ‘Blue Sea Holly’, E. planum 'Blue Hobbit', E. leavenworthii) cu calităţi ornamentale, cultivaţi în condiţiile de la Iaşi, în vederea promovării şi valorificării superioare a acestora în arta florală şi în amenajări peisagistice. -

Colorado's noxious weed list is divided into A, B and C categories which require specifi c levels of man- agement. These plants are no longer allowed to be sold in our state and should not be planted. Specifi c information is available from the Colorado We Wish to Thank ... State Noxious Weed Program or from your local county weed manager. Included for each invasive are alternatives that may be planted instead. We Irene Shonle, CSU Extension, for her project leadership have divided the choices by native and cultivated options and regionally by mountain and lower elevations. -
Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)
Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The decline of British bumble bees has been attributed to the loss of their habitat through the intensification of agricultural practices. In the quest for information of use to bumble bee conservation the potential of our flower-rich cities has been overlooked. The overall aim of this study was to determine the status and foraging requirements of bumble bees in the urban environment provided by the city of London, U.K. My principal findings are as follows. Six common species and three rare species were identified. The greatest diversity of Bombus species was found in the east of London. Garden and wasteland habitats attracted the greatest abundance of workers and diversity of Bombus species. -

It has been a revelation to me that botanists had spent many years finding plants and then many more writing a book about it. After poring over the text, it became very evident to me that it was just like a giant treasure map. The anecdotes, comments and locations it contained drove me on to investigate over the following years, and in many cases refind the records that had been reported decades before and sometimes even in the previous century. I continue to be fascinated by these books and historic records and still investigate the past accounts that they hold but I was beginning to wonder how on earth were all the locations of plants and of the sites, pre-computer database, passed on? Word-of-mouth obviously, but many of the botanists lived far apart and so letters – many, many letters – were written. When I inherited the vice-county recordership for North Wiltshire (v.c. 7) in 1981, I also inherited a card index box. -
BRENTWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL WARLEY PLACE GREAT WARLEY Historic England Registered Site: Grade II
BRENTWOOD BOROUGH COUNCIL WARLEY PLACE GREAT WARLEY Historic England Registered Site: Grade II Grid Ref: TQ 583 909 Warley Place was the garden of Ellen Willmott (1858 – 1934) who gardened intensively in a natural style from 1875 until her death. It is now leased to the Essex Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve which respects the garden’s history. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT In the sixteenth century the site of Warley Place formed part of a much bigger estate which, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, came into the ownership of the Gonson family. The estate passed through several generations of the family until, in 1627, it was split between four sisters. The title of the manor of Warley and some land went to Sir Richard Browne, the son of Thomasine Fenton, who was one of the sisters. In 1647 Sir Richard's daughter Mary married John Evelyn (1620-1706) who purchased from his father- in-law the lordship of the manor of Warley. There are unsubstantiated beliefs that Evelyn wrote Sylva while he was living at Warley Place. At the time that Evelyn presented Sylva in February 1664 to the restored king, Charles II, he was living at Sayes Court, Deptford. Warley Place, however, was left to the heirs of Anne Fleming (another sister)’s family. After being held by the Fleming family, the Warley Place estate passed through several ownerships. In 1728 Thomas Jackson of Gray's Inn was the occupier (Victoria County History) and on his death in that year he left the estate to his son George Jackson and his sister Winifred Jackson. -
