Un-Priced 2021 Catalog in PDF Format c toll free: 800.438.7199 fax: 805.964.1329 local: 805.683.1561 text: 805.243.2611 acebook.com/SanMarcosGrowers email: [email protected] Our world certainly has changed since we celebrated 40 years in business with our October 2019 Field Day. Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

  • Avonia-News Newsletter Der Fachgesellschaft Andere Sukkulenten
    Avonia-News Newsletter der Fachgesellschaft andere Sukkulenten 08 : 2008 15.11.2008 Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Der Versand der umfangreichen Linkliste an die Mitglieder ist abgeschlossen. Nachdem ich mich durch die zahlreichen Links gearbeitet habe muss ich gestehen – ich kannte einige davon, aber dass es bereits ein solche Menge öffentlich zugänglicher Literatur zu unserem Hobby und den Pflanzen allgemein gibt, hat mich dann doch überrascht. Dies zeigt jedoch nur, wie schnelllebig unsere Zeit inzwischen geworden ist – bei sich ständig be- schleunigtem Voranschreiten! So wird man in Zukunft immer mehr Literatur erschließen können, die wichtig für ein um- fassendes Studium unserer Pflanzen sein könnte. Dank gilt dem unermüdlichen Sucher im Netz nach entsprechenden Stellen und auch dafür, dass diese mühevolle Arbeit so einfach einmal allen Mitgliedern unseres Vereins zugute kommen kann. Solch uneigennütziges Vor- gehen findet man leider nicht oft – um so größer mein Dank! Und ich kann nur hoffen, dass es weitere solche Personen gibt, die in konstanter Arbeit alles zusammentragen und mit anderen tauschen, was unser Hobby spannend macht und bereichert. Die Avonia und natürlich auch dieses Medium der Avonia-News leben von Autoren, die bereit sind, ihre Erfahrungen und Beobachtungen mit anderen zu tauschen – auch hier suchen wir immer wieder nach Mitstreitern, die durch ihre Beiträge, Fotos und Mitarbeit an der Gestaltung der Ausgaben mitwirken. Diese Basis könnte immer noch breiter sein! Scheuen Sie sich nicht, diese Chance zu nutzen. Man erhält Kontakte und Möglichkeiten über solch eine Arbeit, die vorher vielleicht undenkbar waren – man erhält sozusagen für seine Mühen Lohn zurück. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen Lesern viel Spaß beim Studieren dieser nunmehr bereits achten Ausgabe der Avonia-News und hoffe, Sie finden wieder zahlreiche Anregungen und Neuigkeiten.

  • Fall 2018 Vol 28. No. 4
    Vol. 28, No. 4 Fall 2018 From the President’s Keyboard This time of year, I’m noticing more and more offspring off on their own. From a young bobcat making its way past my office last month, to the fall harvest, the young are making their own way in the world. I find the different life strategies fascinating—thousands of thistle seeds float by from an annual plant; a pair of young sister does bound across the road; a juvenile raccoon pops up from a culvert to check his surroundings; a coworker sends his daughter off to college; pale bentgrass shoots sprout from the edge of a patch. Some species invest their Mission Statement reproductive energy in making many offspring; others invest a great deal of energy in The mission of the California Native just a few offspring. Some plants can do both, like certain grasses: a single plant Grasslands Association is to promote, produces hundreds of thousands of tiny seeds from diminutive flowers throughout its preserve, and restore the diversity of life, but generally the successful stalks are daughter clones which sprout from the California’s native grasses and grassland rhizomes of a parent plant and take nourishment through the difficult juvenile time of ecosystems through education, advocacy, establishment. research, and stewardship. Being a species which invests a great deal in its offspring, we tend to value that strategy ________________________________ more, thinking it superior at least morally. What kind of parent would toss thousands of copies of itself into the harsh world with no guidance or care? But then, look at how P.O.

Cenchrus orientalis, Manihot grahamii, Melica chilensis and Panicum capillare subsp. hillmanii are probably reported for the first time from Spain, while Aloe ferox, Canna ×generalis, Cenchrus setaceus, Convolvulus farinosus, Ficus rubiginosa, Jarava plumosa, Koelreu- teria paniculata, Lycianthes rantonnetii, Nassella tenuissima, Paraserianthes lophantha, Plumbago auriculata, Podranea ricasoliana, Proboscidea louisianica, Sedum palmeri, Solanum bonariense, Tipuana tipu, Tradescantia pallida and Vitis ×ruggerii are reported for the first time from the province of Tarragona. Several of these are potential or genuine invasive species and/or agricultural weeds. Miscellane- ous additional records are presented for some further alien taxa with only few earlier records in the study area.

  • Chapter 5 Phylogeny of Poaceae Based on Matk Gene Sequences
    Chapter 5 Phylogeny of Poaceae Based on matK Gene Sequences 5.1 Introduction Phylogenetic reconstruction in the Poaceae began early in this century with proposed evolutionary hypotheses based on assessment of existing knowledge of grasses (e.g., Bew, 1929; Hubbard 1948; Prat, 1960; Stebbins, 1956, 1982; Clayton, 1981; Tsvelev, 1983). Imperical approaches to phylogenetic reconstruction of the Poaceae followed those initial hypotheses, starting with cladistic analyses of morphological and anatomical characters (Kellogg and Campbell, 1987; Baum, 1987; Kellogg and Watson, 1993). More recently, molecular information has provided the basis for phylogenetic hypotheses in grasses at the subfamily and tribe levels (Table 5.1). These molecular studies were based on information from chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction sites and DNA sequencing of the rbcL, ndhF, rps4, 18S and 26S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), phytochrome genes, and the ITS region (Hamby and Zimmer, 1988; Doebley et al., 1990; Davis and Soreng, 1993; Cummings, King, and Kellogg, 1994; Hsiao et al., 1994; Nadot, Bajon, and Lejeune, 1994; Barker, Linder, and Harley, 1995; Clark, Zhang, and Wendel, 1995; Duvall and Morton, 1996; Liang and Hilu, 1996; Mathews and Sharrock, 1996). Although these studies have refined our concept of grass evolution at the subfamily level and, to a certain degree, at the tribal level, major disagreements and questions remain to be addressed. Outstanding discrepancies at the subfamily level include: 1) Are the pooids, bambusoids senso lato, or herbaceous bamboos the
