Plant of the Day

Tuesday 30 April 2024

In this front garden the variegated foliage and flowers of Euphorbia characias 'Silver Swan' (variegated spurge) were creating a display. This shrubby, evergreen perennial plant, has maroon-flushed dark stems that are clothed in grey-green leaves.

Euphorbia characias (var. wulfenii) (Mediterranean spurge)

Green flowers

Flowering plants evolved about 140 million years ago but for the first forty million, they weren’t particularly colorful. Their basic contract with insects was the same, you help us with seed production and we’ll give you food (pollen and nectar) in return. But then the bees evolved and, all of sudden, flowering plants became a lot more beautiful. This is because bees have much better color vision than most insects. Bees are sometimes described as wasps that became strictly vegetarian.

Maybe, the Mediterranean spurge didn’t get the memo - it has green flowers! All true petals developed from conventional leaves anyway but this spurge seems to have got stuck, half way through the process. What appear to be green, cuplike petals are just highly specialized leaves (bracts) but bees are still attracted to it’s flowers. In addition to almost full-color vision, bees are very good with edges, and they can see this flower’s shape just fine.

{Euphorbia characias} Mediterranean spurge, injuriously poisonous plant, its sap can burn your skin off. Used from ancient time as medicine for removal of warts, growths and other tumors on skin by sheer power to burn them off painfully, IT IS VERY MUCH NOT RECOMENDED TO DO THAT!!!!

Basic plant research

I decided to start by searching up plants that can survive in intense weather conditions (https://www.housebeautiful.com/uk/garden/plants/a28548574/garden-plants-types-of-weather/)

This is what i found :

1. Euphorbia Characias

Commonly known as the Mediterranean Spurge, this green plant can grow up to 1.2 meters in height. Perfect to add into your garden if you want your outdoor space to look fuller all year round.

2. Hydrangea Arborecens ‘Annabelle’

Plant this striking flower in boarders around your garden for a beautiful splash of white. Its flower heads can grow as large as 30cm in width and make a statement wherever they are planted. It's worth noting that they can be toxic to dogs and cats, so take care if you're a pet owner.

3. Rosa ‘Wedding Day’

These beautiful lemon-white roses bare large clusters of scented flowers that are sure to brighten up your outdoor space the moment they bloom. For best results, grow this flower in well-soiled, moist ground and ensure it gets plenty of sunlight.

4. Iris Pseudacorus

Ideal for wildlife gardens, the rich nectar of this plant will attract bees, hoverflies and other insects. This is perfect to plant near a pond if you have one.

5. Geranium Phaeum

This plant is prone to self-seed so can be useful to fill large spaces in the garden. Commonly called dusky crane's-bill, mourning widow or black widow, the dark violet flower is a beautiful addition to any garden.

6. Primula Vulgaris

Known for its long flowering period, this plant can flower as early as December. Wonderfully, too, the primrose provides a place for butterflies to come and rest.

7. Hemerocallis ‘Burning Daylight’

This glowing orange plant has large ruffled flowers that open most mornings and wither at night. A flower on the same stem can replace them the next day, so you'll be sure to see it constantly blooming.

I like these plants, but one problem is that they all seems to be a similar style of plants, all flower-like (besides the first one). I was hoping to find a larger variety of plants maybe some that were more alien-like, some vines, some fungi possibly. From this, i decided to search "alien-like plants" and came across things that were more my original thoughts

These plants i really enjoy the look of. They all give off that alien-like post apocalyptic world type plant i will defiantly aim to try and make something similar to one of these but maybe with a twist on it.

Tina’s Garden

A quick update on Tina’s garden. I have planted a mix of grasses in this bed. Some are evergreen, others return year on year. The euphorbia is oblongata and charasias. The euphorbia characias grow to quite a height. This produces sap when cut. Be careful as the sap can cause skin and eye irritation. (Best left alone.) This patch needs little maintenance. In the foreground is Rudbekia and…

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 30 November 2022

Great for a winter container or border is this evergreen spurge probably Euphorbia characias ‘Tasmanian Tiger’. This hardy sub-shrub needs a sunny location. Remember when working with the plant that all parts are highly toxic by ingestion and that the sap may irritate skin and eyes so wear gloves and other protective equipment as needed.

Euphorbia characias (subsp. wulfenii)

Something a little green (and a little weird) for St. Patrick’s Day.
