This easy-to-grow perennial produces colorful globes of blue or white trumpet-shaped flowers in summer and fall. Evergreen strap-like leaves add texture to beds, borders and containers. Plant in full sun, well-drained soil and water regularly to keep plant moist. Spreads to 3’ wide in clumps and should be divided. Airplane Plant, variegated or green (Chlorophytum comosum) – This plant is grown for its variegated foliage. Blooms in late winter and early spring with small, inconspicuous white flowers. It likes part sun in moist, well-draining soil and is gorgeous in hanging baskets. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested. Barleria (Barleria sp.) - Beautiful purple flowers blooming late spring through the summer. Plant in sun to partial shade and provide moderate water. Grows from 4-6 feet tall. This plant can become aggressive and best to separate from other plantings. Bleeding Heart, red and white (Dicentra spectabilis) – Twining climber with heart- shaped leaves and panicles of solid red or white “hearts” with a drop of red at the tip of each flower. Blooms all summer in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade. May go dormant and return in the spring. Bottlebrush (Calistemon sp.) – Named for its distinctive flowers, evergreen with bright red flower spikes that are reminiscent of a bottle washer. Often sold as a shrub, and can grow as a tree up to 25 feet in height. When in flower, attracts hummingbirds. Mexican Butterfly Vine (Mascagnia macroptera) - Clusters of dainty flowers on this frost tender perennial vine from spring to fall. The seedpods form chartreuse ‘wings’, 3 | P a g e unfolding to resemble butterflies. In mild winters, the vine will retain its gloss green foliage. It will die back and re-sprout in spring after a cold winter. Calibrachoa, magenta, terracotta (Petunia sp.) - Tender perennial producing flowers that look like small petunias. Compact, mounded plants growing 3 to 9-inches tall on mostly trailing stems. Also called million bells, prolific bloomers producing hundreds of 1-inch wide flowers from spring to frost. Flower colors of different varieties can include shades of magenta and terracotta. Confederate Rose (Hibiscus mutabilis) – Old-fashioned perennial or shrub. Flowers are double and are to 6-inches in diameter; open white or pink and change to deep red by evening. Full sun or partial shade, prefers rich, well-drained soil. May freeze in winter and will grow back in spring. Coral Vine (Antigonon leptopus) – A popular pass-along plant, fast growing deciduous vine with dark green foliage and bright pink flowers from late summer through fall. Prefers sun or light shade. Can reach 20-30-feet tall, 10-20-feet wide. Drought tolerant. Vigorous growth may warrant growing in containers. Dianthus, Amazon series: ‘Neon Duo’, ‘Neon Purple’ (Dianthus x barbatus) – All from the Amazon hybrid series, these annuals are taller than other dianthus, growing from 18 to 36-inches. Although relatively tall, full-grown plants are not leggy. The flowers form an almost-solid layer over the plants, and flowers stalks at the edge of a planting tend to bend over creating a full appearance. Space plants 12 to 16-inches apart for best show. Plant in the fall, and they will bloom through the fall and intermittently during the winter and then put on a traffic-stopping display of colorful flowers from late February or March though late May or early June. Excellent heat tolerance means they generally bloom reliably well into early summer. Dutchman’s Pipe (Aristolochia sp.) – Easily grown in average to medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers rich, moist soils. Intolerant of dry soils. Vining with hairy stems and leaves. Blooms in spring to early summer. Commonly called Dutchman's pipe from unusual, 2-inch long, yellowish-green, curved-trumpet flowers (each flaring at the calyx mouth to form three brownish-purple lobes) superficially resemble Dutch smoking pipes. Larval plant for the pipevine swallowtail butterfly. Firecracker Plant, red and yellow (Russelia equisetiformis) – Multi-branching evergreen with 4-5-foot long arching stems that have very small scale-like leaflets. Spring through fall branch tips produce bright red tubular flowers. Prefers morning sun, afternoon shade in well-drained soil with regular watering. It may freeze to the ground in harsh winters but returns in early spring. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Firespike, red, yellow (Odontonema tubaeforme) – Firespike are an evergreen perennial with large, glossy, dark green foliage

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

  • Alplains 2013 Seed Catalog P.O
    ALPLAINS 2013 SEED CATALOG P.O. BOX 489, KIOWA, CO 80117-0489, U.S.A. Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

  • Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
    Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales.

The triad all have floral venation similar to red, tubular-flowered species of Just icia, though they differ from most Justicia in their tricolporate pollen with distinct pseudocolpi. In pollen and anther characters they are similar to Anisacanthus and Carlowrightia, but they differ from these in corolla vascularization and anther presentation and from Carlowrightia in corolla size. As the three taxa do not appear to represent a monophyletic group, and as Stearn has placed taxa with similar pollen into what has become a holding genus, Justicia, we include these in Justicia by default until further studies can decipher relat ionships within the genus.

  • Colormap Set and Get the Current Colormap
    MATLAB Function Reference colormap Set and get the current colormap Syntax colormap(map) colormap(’default’) cmap = colormap Description A colormap is an m−by−3 matrix of real numbers between 0.0 and 1.0. Each row is an RGB vector that defines one color. Thek th row of the colormap defines the kth color, where map(k,:) = [r(k) g(k) b(k)]) specifies the intensity of red, green, and blue. colormap(map) sets the colormap to the matrix map. If any values in map are outside the interval [0 1], MATLAB returns the errorColormap must have values in [0,1]. colormap(’default’) sets the current colormap to the default colormap. cmap = colormap retrieves the current colormap. The values returned are in the interval [0 1]. Specifying Colormaps M−files in the color directory generate a number of colormaps. Each M−file accepts the colormap size as an argument. For example, colormap(hsv(128)) creates an hsv colormap with 128 colors. If you do not specify a size, MATLAB creates a colormap the same size as the current colormap. Supported Colormaps MATLAB supports a number of built−in colormaps, illustrated and described below. In addition to specifying built−in colormaps programmatically, you can use the Colormap menu in the Figure Properties pane of the Plot Tools GUI to select one interactively. The named built−in colormaps are the following: autumn varies smoothly from red, through orange, to yellow. bone is a grayscale colormap with a higher value for the blue component. This colormap is useful for adding an "electronic" look to grayscale images.

    From Medieval Park to Modern Arboretum: The Arnold Arboretum and its Historic Background In celebrating a hundred years of growth of an institution such as the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University primarily devoted to the cultivation and study of trees, it is natural even if trite to compare such an institution to a tree itself, above all to such an impressive sturdy long-lived tree as an oak, and then to seek analogies of development, elaborating the simile in a manner worthy of an old New England preacher somewhat like Father Mapple of Melville’s Moby Dick. Thus tree-like, one might say, the Arnold Arboretum thrusts its roots deep into good hard earth such as solid Boston and Cambridge banking accounts provide, pushes out its dollar-fed branches slowly but strongly in many directions to resist wind and tem- pest, i.e. depressions, slumps, inflations, lawsuits, hurricanes and the like, towers massively above other institutions of more recent sprouting and displays its abundant foliage, both actual and figurative, for all to admire. Such eloquent comparisons can, however, be carried too far. The Arnold Arboretum’s publi- cations appreciated by botanists the world over may indeed be likened to the fruit of our imagined tree but, unfortunately for this nice simile, the fruit of an oak is most appreciated by crows and swine! Nevertheless, the simile has its value. An individual oak, while possessing its own particular characteristics as an indi- vidual, grows mainly the way it does because of events which happened even before it started as an acorn, sometimes very long before that.
