Gardening: The days and nights of blooming chrysanthemums - OCRegister

Roots, leaves, and flowers have medicinal properties. Carol Proctor, who holds a degree in ornamental horticulture from Cal Poly Pomona, had some words of wisdom following comments I made on the glorious weeping peppermint tree (Agonis flexuosa), which can live for more than a century. “This tree grows best in well-draining, sandy soil,” she wrote, “Otherwise it can be subject to root rot. Agonis flexuosa cv. After Dark is a great-looking, purple-leafed variety but struggles to thrive over time.” I would add here that Cercis canadensis cv. Forest Pansy, a redbud, is another seductive tree with purple leaves that has no business being planted in the Los Angeles area, where it invariably dies after two or three years in the ground. Bea Drake, who gardens in Mission Viejo, inquired about pruning her Leucodendron. Individual Leucodenron stems should be cut back by half to encourage new growth from below. You can place the cut pieces in a vase, making sure to remove leaves that would otherwise be submerged and then change the water every other day. You can also dry the stems, which can be used for everlasting arrangements, by hanging them upside down or standing them up in an empty bucket for three weeks. The best time to prune a Leucodendron is after it flowers in the spring. Tip of the Week: Jacqueline Franklin, who gardens in Banning, was wondering if she could grow a cherimoya tree from seeds in a store-bought fruit, realizing she would need to wait three to five years before her tree produced. Yes, you can. Soak your seeds in a bowl of water for four days. Seeds that float should be discarded. Seeds that sink should be placed in 6 inch deep pots no more than an inch below the soil surface. Soil mixture should be half peat moss and half sand. Keep seeds indoors in a room where temperatures stay between 64 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Water only to prevent desiccation of soil mix. Germination should occur in three to five weeks.

Rose Parade 2020: 20-year-old from Redding will use 23K flowers to bring a float to life - Record Searchlight

Toney's been a part of float club since her freshman year, and her team partners with the San Luis Obispo school's sister campus in Pomona. It's over a year-long process to design a float and then bring it to life for the parade. The final leg — decorating week — starts the day after Christmas, complete with a judging at the end. "It's kind of two different ways you can take it: more of a realistic, elegant way or more of a fun and cartoon-y way," Toney said. This year's theme is "The Power of Hope," and Toney and her team are creating an undersea landscape with a submarine floating above. How does their "Aquatic Aspirations" design tie into that? The idea is that seafarers are out hoping to spot some treasure, but end up finding the wonders of the natural world even more rewarding. More: Readers: Here's what you funded this year. How to help us bring you more journalism in 2020 To make that concept believable, Toney said her team has been in constant contact with farmers throughout California as they choose the right flowers for the job — color, shape and seasonality all factor in.

Redding woman will use 23,000 flowers to bring Rose Bowl float to life - Chico Enterprise-Record

Toney’s been a part of float club since her freshman year, and her team partners with the San Luis Obispo school’s sister campus in Pomona. It’s over a year-long process to design a float and then bring it to life for the parade. The final leg — decorating week — starts the day after Christmas, complete with a judging at the end.

While Toney initially signed up for float club as a creative and social outlet, she’s also a business administration major who’s learning lessons that would play out in her future career — from working to secure the right flowers to ironing out any disputes that might come up. It all takes a lot of ingenuity — and, at least this year, a lot of cleanup. Toney’s team is using tiny p...

Flower-covered Floats Blossom at the Annual Rose Parade - HowStuffWorks

Crowd Favorites for 2020 The California Polytechnic State University's float — a joint entry by both Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo universities — has been a crowd favorite for 70-plus years. Designed and built entirely by students, the Cal Poly floats have led in introducing technology to the parade throughout the decades, from the first use of hydraulics for animation in 1968 to the first color-changing floral effect in 2017.

Cal Poly's 2020 Rose Parade float among the first in the lineup - KEYT

Pasadena as part of the 2020 Rose Parade. The float, made by both Cal Poly and Cal Poly Pomona students, features a submarine navigating around a sunken shipwreck. It will be the fourth overall participant in the 131st Rose Parade and just the second float in the lineup. The parade has 44 floats in total, along with 23 marching bands and 16 equestrian groups. 700,000 people are expected to see the parade in person, with about 37 million Americans watching from home. "It is very exciting," said Sydney Strong, president of the team at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. "We've never been so close to the beginning of the route. The entire team is very excited to have this opportunity, and we hope that we get to share our float with all those watching the parade. There are a few nerves with being so close to the front of the parade, but I think that this doesn't necessarily place more pressure on us — just gets us a bit more excited!" Cal Poly has played a large role in the Rose Parade. It has the sixth highest number of appearances, behind only the cities of Los Angeles, South Pasadena, Alhambra, Burbank, and Sierra Madre.

A Rose Float tale that went swimmingly - Mustang News

Every year Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona come together to create a float for the Rose Parade in Pasadena. This year the rose float teams are diving in with the theme “Aquatic Aspirations.” Industrial engineering senior and president of the Rose Float program Sydney Strong said she hopes to carry last year’s momentum and bring out another innovative float. In the 130th anniversary of the parade last year, the two schools took home the Extraordinaire Award with the space-themed float “Far Out Frequencies.” “With ‘Aquatic Aspirations’ we are leaning towards a more elegant style than what Cal Poly is typically known for, which is fun and different,” Strong wrote in an email to Mustang News. This year will mark Strong’s fourth year as a part of the Rose Float Program and her first year as its president after acting as decorations chairman last year. “I am really hoping to facilitate a smooth year with a lot of fun for our team in addition to having a wonderful float,” Strong wrote. From designing the structure to putting t...
