Randomly Selected Botanical Terms: Phyllaries

Flowers in the aster family have one of the most recognizable shapes in botany – a circle with a series of petals surrounding it. If you were asked to draw a flower, there is a good chance your drawing would look something like a sunflower, a daisy, a cosmos, or an aster. It’s one of the most basic flower shapes, and yet it isn’t a single flower; it’s a pseudanthium – a false flower. This is…

Another Flower that is Still Making Colorful Blossoms

Fall Resplendence Although my primary reason (other than to see my friends) when I went out to Watermelon Pond to wander around was to look for birds, I try never to pass up a pretty flower, either. This Mexican sunflower bush (Tithonia diversifolia) was growing in my friend’s yard and still had a fair number of flowers on it. I tried to get a little artistic with this shot by using a very…

my first instinct when i saw this was aster (bc of the color mostly)

and while looking at it closer it isn’t exactly right, it could be maybe just their way to simplify it? because:

#enstars #seems appropriate here! and you cant expect me to look through thousands of different flowers in the asteraceae family #do lmk if you think im wrong / have a better answer for this

[hellsitegenetics]

this valentine’s day i would like to profess my undying, ardent love for the callistephus chinensis (china aster)! the flower that contributed to me giving myself my name!!

not only are they a part of the (superior in my opinion) family of asteraceae, but also the genus’ (callistephus) etymology is derived from the greek words “kalli-” meaning “beautiful” and “stephos” meaning crown. they have beautiful chrysanthemum-esque blooms and come in all sorts of colours (my favourites being purple and white).

straying away from taxonomy a bit, asters in general are one of the birth flowers for september (my birth month!). they symbolise hope, faith and wisdom. and according to greek mythology, astraea (“star maiden”: goddess of purity, justice and innocence) cried because there weren't enough stars in the sky and when her tears hit the earth, they caused asters to bloom! continuing to follow the greek myth, she was the last goddess to live amongst the humans after the golden age, symbolising the decline of hope for humanity along with the decline of the ages. she left and became the constellation virgo i believe!

some more fun fun facts, asters have a most frequently observed number of n = 9 haploid chromosomes (2n = 18 for diploid). the numerology of the word “aster” also happens to be nine and guess what! september is the 9th month of the year! is it obvious i really like the number 9? almost as much as i love asters <3

Mugwort

Artemisia Vulgaris

Known as: Artemis herb, artemisia, artemisia herb, cingulum sancti johannis, felon herb, muggons, naughty man, old man, old uncle Henry, sailor's tobacco & St.John plant

Related plants: A member of the daisy family Asteraceae that consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within it such as chamomile, coneflowers, dahlia, daisy, dandelion, goldenrod, lettuce, marigold & sunflower

Parts used: Leaves & flowers

Habitat & cultivation: Common mugwort is native to Europe and Eastern Asia. Mugwort was brought into North America as early as the 1600’s for medicinal purposes. It spread throughout the Northeastern U.S. as a contaminant on ships and nurseries.

Plant type: Perennial

Region: 3-8

Harvest: The flowering tops of mugwort should be collected once they bloom or right before the blooms open. The leaves of mugwort plants should be collected before the plant flowers. Older leaves & flowers are significantly more bitter

Planting tips: Mugwort seeds can benefit from a special 1 to 2 week treatment called cold moist stratification prior to planting them & need cold weather to break down germination inhibitors. The seeds require light to germinate, so be careful not to cover them when planting. Mugwort does not like to be overwatered & is very drought tolerant. It is also an invasive weed & best kept in a container.

Medicinal information: Historically mugwort has been used in traditional systems of medicine in different parts of the world. Today, mugwort taken orally is promoted for digestive problems, irregular menstruation, and high blood pressure. It is also promoted as a sedative, laxative, anti-inflammatory & liver tonic. Mugwort lotion applied topically can aid in itching caused by hypertrophic scars & When being smoked, it exhibits mild intoxicating properties & strong relaxing properties.

Cautions: Mugwort should not be taken by pregnant people because it may start menstruation and cause the uterus to contract. Little is known about whether it’s safe to use mugwort while chestfeeding. Mugwort might cause an allergic reaction in people with pollen sensitivities

Some more tiny Aster! This time outdoor adventure!!

This exchange is inspired by the Ukagaka (by @logicpng) talking about Aster flowers and me noticing the similarities between them and common daisies and googling if they're related. The family is Asteraceae btw, and they even share a sub-family and tribe!

I've had this scene rattling around in my brain for like a week now, now its finally out there, I'M FREE. Although tiny Aster is living rent free in my brain anyways, so I might have to draw more lol

Callistephus chinensis (China aster)

Asteraceae is a large plant family that contains asters, daisies and sunflowers but the genus Callistephus contains just a single species and this is it, the China aster. This plant is native to China, Japan and Korea but the original wildflower only came in purple. After 2000 years of cultivation, it now comes in a dazzling array of colors and forms.

The China aster was introduced to European gardens in 1731 and is now grown in temperate gardens around the world. Callistephus chinensis is a cool climate annual and is much loved by florists for its long-lasting, cut flowers. China asters start to bloom in late spring and, as you can see, they're still 'strutting their stuff' in early October.

Beautiful Carolina Desert Chicory Loves All Dry Sandy Habitats

Sandhill Chicory There isn’t much blooming yet here in north central Florida, but it won’t be long before it starts. In anticipation of that, I chose one of our common but always beautiful spring flowers. It called Carolina desert chicory (Pyrrhopappus carolinianus), which is really interesting because it’s most common in dry, sandy environments in Texas (hence some other common names; Texas…

Moth of the Week

Northern Giant Flag Moth

Dysschema howardi

Image Source

The northern giant flag moth is a part of the family Erebidae. It was first described in 1836 by Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug. This moth is known by two scientific names: Dysschema thetis and Dysschema howardi, which are considered to be synonymous. This moth’s scientific name may also be confused with Dysschema mariamne, which is the name of Mariamne’s giant flag moth.

Description Males and females have very similar patterned forewings that are black and white. They also both have red-orange abdomens, black heads, and black thoraxes with two yellow and white spots. However, both males and females have different hindwings, antennae, and sizes:

Females have orange hindwings while males have white ones.

A male’s antennae is fluffier than a female’s

Males are generally smaller than females

Males also tend to be more active.

Wingspan Range (Wikipedia): 85-95mm (≈3.35-3.74in)

Wingspan Range: (BreedingButterflies): 75-105mm (≈2.95-4.13in)

Diet and Habitat The larvae of this species eat on plants from the Asteraceae family such as Brickellia californica, Eupatorium rugosum, and Vernonia patens. Adults do feed, most likely nectar from flowers as when bred in captivity they are fed sugary liquids.

This species is found from south-western United States to north-western Mexico, specifically the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. They prefer habitats that are hot and dry.

Mating These moths can be seen flying from June to August and presumably mate during this time. When bred in captivity, if these moths are not fed Brickellia californica or other plants containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids they will not want to mate. This is possibly because some species in the Arctiidae subfamily use PAs to create mating pheromones and defend themselves from predators.

Predators Larvae of this species hide under objects during the day and are more active at night. Adults are known to show their hindwings to frighten off predators or play dead.

Fun Fact When the larvae of this moth is ready to pupate, it finds a place and spins a silk “hammock” to pupate in.
