Roger Mercer: Some plants have wings to help imaginations fly

I found these Dutch elm disease-resistant, elegant trees in a grove of resistant elms 35 years ago about 100 yards from Lake Brandt in Greensboro.All of the Greensboro trees have continued to exhibit disease resistance here in Fayetteville.As a youth, I used to marvel at the intricate patterns winged elm branches made. And in spring, I'd wait with eager anticipation for the remarkable number of seeds to drop. When they fell, I knew the goldfinches would soon arrive in flocks to eat them.For many years I've grown the compact form of winged euonymus, Euonymus alata. It is the showiest of all winged plants when it turns brilliant crimson in autumn. The foliage is so brightly colored that people have given it the common name of burning bush. Some people believe the shrub is covered with flowers when they first see it from a distance.Another plant that first delighted me when I was 8 or 10 years old is the sweet gum. I liked its sharp-pointed, 1-inch seed pods that people call gum balls. But I didn't like the way it felt when a barefoot boy stepped on them.The star-like leaves of sweet gum, Liquidambar styraciflua, are lovely anytime, but are showiest in fall when they turn shades of burgundy, copper, rose, yellow, chestnut and orange.The sweet gum has become exceedingly popular as a lawn tree in southern California, where it is not native and is appreciated for its rarity and fall color.The problem with the tree is that it drops so many seed heads. They are too tough to be chopped up by mowing and must be raked. There is reportedly one cultivar that is sterile and produces no seed balls.I grow several small sweet gum trees and intend to start a bonsai of one someday when I have the time.The sweet gum also is found in the regional Cape Fear Botanical Garden.Dear Roger: Please help me find a source of rugosa rose, a spreading, pink rose which thrives in coastal North Carolina conditions. I have been to some local garden centers but have not had success. — Katie Marshall in Orrum.Dear Katie: Eighteen excellent varieties of Rosa rugosa and its hybrids are offered by Heirloom Roses.

Pam Hall  (Photo: Custom)GREENSBORO, N.C. – For 6-year-old, Brynlee, of Winston-Salem a trip to visit a loved one buried at a cemetery turned into something more.Brynlee took a trip to the graveyard at Lakeview Memorial Park in Greensboro with her grandmother, Pam Hall. She noticed something was missing from a lot of the graves – flowers.She knew in her heart that all the graves should have flowers. They needed something bright to remember loved ones. That’s when she asked her grandmother if they could bring extra flowers for their next visit.The next visit turned out to be on Easter weekend. Brynlee took flowers out of a basket and covered as many of the graves that didn’t have flowers. She also visited the children’s section and placed flowers on the graves and also Easter eggs.Hall said, “Sharing this time with her makes a difficult time - Blessed.” Brynlee has just taught us all a lesson in love and that a random act of kindness goes a long way.© 2017 WFMY-TV...

Field day: After a winter that was like spring, local crops ripen early ...

GREENSBORO —Phil Queen grasped the handles of the last two pails of strawberries for sale at Rudd Farm’s produce stand, which opened for a few hours Wednesday because of an early crop nudged on by the warmer-than-usual winter.Other shoppers swarmed around him, hoping to take home some of the limited offering.“My dear neighbor is well up in her 80s,” Queen said. “I’m going to stagger in there and give her one of these and get a pound cake out of it.”Just a few weeks ago, the Rudds and other local farmers wondered just what would survive in their fields after a winter that felt like a long spring, which pushed crops to ripen early.While farmers expect and try planning around temperature swings in the state’s often unpredictable weather, the back and forth has been longer this year.“We had three nights of 20-degree weather, and it’s a lot better than I expected,” Rick Langhorne of Blueberry Thrill said.His peach trees have dropped damaged fruit, but there’s a good amount that’s still ripe...

Warm weather favors blooming flowers, trees, shrubs and bugs

Louis Jackai, an entomologist and the chairman of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design at N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro.Mosquitoes breed around sources of water such as rivers and streams, Jackai said.However, mosquitoes and other biting insects likely will remain dormant during these final days of winter, he said.“Once it starts getting warm, they (mosquitoes) will be active,” Jackai said. “They could get their butts frozen if the temperatures drops below freezing at night.”Low temperatures at night in the low to high 30s or cooler likely will minimize activity among the mosquitoes and other insects, he said.“When it’s real good and cold, no self-respecting mosquito would be out,” Jackai said.#ndn-video-player-3.ndn_embedded .ndn_floatContainer { margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; }...
