Plant of the Day

Tuesday 26 March 2024

In my friend’s beautiful garden the Camellia 'Spring Festival' (cuspidata hybrid) is flowering. This evergreen shrub has a compact, upright habit and in early spring is covered with these delicate, small, semi-double, pale pink flowers.

Lion in a jungle. A terracotta lion placed within an arrangement of lush, tropical planting imitates the animal in its natural habitat. The grouping is intended to amuse and, in conjunction with the terrace, is highly effective and visually harmonious.

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 13 March 2024

In early spring the camellias start to flower and I noticed this one over a fence. It might be Camellia x williamsii 'E G Waterhouse' which is a vigorous, free blooming and extremely hardy and tolerant cultivar, but the flowers may be too pale in colour to be this cultivar.

In the winter in southern England, evergreen trees like the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) stand out. Ancient people saw the pine tree as a symbol of eternal life, which gave rise to our modern custom of Christmas trees.

The Scots Pine is the only native pine species in the British Isles. This species ranges from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia. The Scots Pine is only naturally found in Scotland in modern times, but in ancient times pine forests grew all over the British Isles. These forests died out due to climate change and human activity, but Scots Pine have been subsequently reintroduced as ornamentals and for forestry.

In these photos, we can see the two types of reproductive structures found on Scots Pine and other conifers. The classic pinecones are the female reproductive structures, known as ovulate cones, seed cones, or megastrobilus. These cones contain the ovules which will develop into seeds once fertilised by pollen. These cones open up their scales to allow wind blown pollen into the cones, after which the cones close up to allow the fertilised ovules to mature into seeds. After 6-8 months the cone opens again to let the winged seeds fly away on the wind to colonise new habitats. The second photo shows the male cones (microstrobilus or pollen cones) which contain pollen sacs under their scales. Scots Pine need to exchange pollen with another individual tree in order to reproduce.

Pine needles are also a delicious and healthy ingredient for herbal tea! Native Americans and East Asians have used pine needles from species in the Pinus genus for centuries as a healthy winter tonic. Pine needle tea is made by crushing and cutting the pine needles into small pieces and steeping them in boiling water. Medical research indicates pine needles are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and vitamin C. The taste is not like "pine scented air freshener" and more of a mellow citrusy flavour that combines exquisitely with cinnamon and gunpowder green tea. According to what I've read, all needles from Pinus genus species are safe for brewing unless you're pregnant.

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place #where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was #when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll #and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and #evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys #between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's #water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk #and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road #but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood #and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in #the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings #but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree #as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert #and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a #little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha #but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da #one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here #but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature #bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes #so it goes i suppose #unrelated #listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol
