Feb 1, 2021San Rafael woman’s garden goes to pots - Marin Independent Journal
Red Ice’ and ‘Raspberry Sizzle’ have been blooming nonstop all summer, but she’s also pleased with her most recent, and unusual, purchase, the Pelargonium x hortorum ‘First Yellow,’ with unusual leaves and yellow blooms.
Two other unusual finds were from Filoli. One was Pelargonium sidoides, which is a silvery-leafed plant with tiny deep purple flowers, and a smaller ivy called ‘Cascade Appleblossom.’ “This baby pink charmer is finally picking up speed and growing,” she says. “I really enjoy caring for them, although I find geraniums a most forgiving plant. If they dry out in the potting medium, I soak them in plain water to rehydrate. They actually bloom better when pot bound, so there’s no need to keep repotting unless you want to.”
Photo by Anna P. PetersonAnna Price Peterson relies on geraniums and containers to keep her Spinnaker Point garden in full bloom.
She insists on good drainage, often drilling extra holes in plastic pots, which she says are lighter to move around.
Every 10 days or when a pot is feeling dry or light, she removes the potted plant from the decorative pot and soaks it into a basin of Miracle Go solution, using that time to talk to them, remove dead leaves and inspect for pests.
“I call it the plants’ spa day and I know that’s why I’m rewarded with abundant blooms,” she says. “I do this regularly to encourage repeat blooms.”
She watches for budworm, reaching for Bt spray as a last resort.
“I’ve had to remove pitted blooms to remove the budworm from plants,” she says. “Otherwise, I usually remove any yellow leaves and water well, and the plant cheers itself up.”
When the plants get leggy, she shapes them and takes cuttings.
“I remove anything growing from a joint section and place six to eight pieces of similar lengths in a 4- to 6-inch pot with regular potting soil,” she says.
She places them on her ledge with morning sun, alongside cuttings she roots in water, and she says they bloom in a few weeks. While both methods work, she finds that planting them in soil works faster.
“They have been so easy to propagate that they make quick gifts to other gardener friends,” she says. “I usually give a growing rooted plant but sometimes, they want to root it themselves.”
Gardening has been a wonderful conversation starter in her work in senior care and she immerses herself in her garden once she returns home.
“I literally feel myself relaxing when I step out and tend to my plants,” she says. “Staying at home these few months has really made me appreciate my garden and the many lessons I’ve learned from growing one.”
Her lessons are universal ones.
“You have to grow the right plant in the right light,” she says. “You can’t rush things. Everything will grow at their own time. And that adage, ‘bloom where you are planted,’ is right, especially if your own self is in its own happy pot. I have moved 18 times in my life, and I’m happy to plant myself and my hundreds of pots in the sunshine of San Rafael.”

Jan 4, 2020Marilyn Schott Obituary - St. Petersburg, FL | Tampa Bay Times - Legacy.com
Shipwatch Yacht and Tennis Club in Largo, FL, passed into eternal life at her son's home in Belleair Beach, FL on December 13, 2019. After a twelve-year battle with dementia, which she faced with grace and dignity, Marilyn has been reunited with her husband, Frank E. Schott Jr., the love of her life for 64 beautiful years. Marilyn was born in Manhattan, NY on April 27, 1930. Her beauty even then was proven as she was a finalist in a Gerber Baby contest. She graduated from Newtown High School in Elmhurst, NY and married Frank in June 1949 at the historic St. James Episcopal Church in Elmhurst. In 1956, they moved into the comfortable Cape Cod style home that Frank built in Flushing, Queens. Marilyn's greatest joy was raising her children. She loved being a mother, teaching Sunday School at the First Presbyterian Church of Flushing as well as being a Teacher's Assistant in the New York school system. In 1984, Marilyn and Frank retired and moved to Dunedin, FL. They were avid travelers and took 35 ocean cruises and excursi...
Jun 22, 2019Royal Wedding Flowers: Queen Silvia and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden - Royal Central
They were mixed with cosmos, azaleas, the wax flower and bleeding heart while dicentra formosa, lilies and Marbacka pelargonium were also used. They were all arranged into a medium sized bouquet which fell into a scattered cascade.
Both bouquets had all the airs of a traditional bridal selection about them while making their own individual mark. They remain royal wedding classics to this day.

Aug 25, 2017This common herb will keep bee pollinators buzzing in your garden
These two had 100 times as many insects as the least popular, the pelargonium, which belongs to a large group of frost-sensitive plants used for summer bedding.[embedded content]Making a differenceIt is a simple lesson. By choosing suitable varieties to provide nectar and pollen, gardeners can make a big difference. Our research show that helping bees and flower-visiting insects need not come at a cost. In a 2012 survey of over 200 varieties of asters, also known as Michaelmas daisies, at the British National Collection in Picton Gardens, Herefordshire, the varieties that attracted more insects were just as easy to obtain, easy to grow, and attractive to the human eye. Prices are similar, although that depends mainly on the size of the plant when you buy it.Many of the plants of the family lamiaceae, the mint family, are great for pollinators.So, how good for insects are the flowers grown in parks and gardens? In the East Sussex town of Lewes there is a beautiful park, Southover Grange Garden, which is carefully managed to provide magnificent floral displays in spring and summer. We counted the insects on 79 varieties in full bloom in August 2012.The results were surprising. The park appeared to be a bee paradise, but only three of the varieties were highly attractive to flower-visiting insects. On 24 varieties we saw no insects in any of the 15 counts made, and on a further 37 there were very few. Clearly, there is room for improvement. Many garden flowers are more show than go: bred for many bright petals instead of food for the bees.Southover Grange Gardens in Lewes. Photo by Leonora (Ellie) Enking/via FlickrTurning over a new leafMany gardeners in the UK get their plants from one of more than 2,000 garden centres and retail nurseries. They are popular destinations for plants and equipment (and for a cup of tea and a slice of cake). They play an important role in what British gardeners end up growing and what insects will be able to visit.Garden centers normally sell plants in bloom with each variety in a distinct patch. This makes it easy to monitor the insects. In 2015, we counted the insects on the 59-74 plant varieties in full bloom on sale in five garden centres and one nursery in Sussex. We made 12 counts over one day in each. We even brought in our own marjoram plants to set up two comparison patches of a variety we knew to be very attractive.We found a similar pattern to that seen in the other two studies...
