MYSTERY PLANT: Mystery Plant closely resembles holly | Features - Aiken Standard

This is one of the most common woodland understory shrubs in Eastern North America, occurring from Quebec and Ontario down to Texas. It is present in a wide array of habitats, on both low ground and in the mountains, and it seems to prefer damp places. It is a shrub that does very well indeed in considerable shade.Sometimes it's hard to distinguish a large "shrub" from a small "tree," and this plant is sometimes in between. Normally, though, it gets to about 6-7 feet tall. Its leaves are smooth and dark green and shape-wise are fairly boring. In the autumn, though, the leaves put on a terrific show, becoming bright yellow. Its flowers appear early in the spring, before the leaves. The flowers are quite small and yellowish, crowded into small clusters up and down the stems. This species is dioecious. That is, individual plants are either male or female, as the flowers are unisexual. The flowers of "male" plants produce only pollen; "female" plants produce ovules, and, ultimately, a one-seeded, fleshy fruit. The fruits are brilliant red and quite conspicuous. Various birds like to eat the fruits and so scatter the plants throughout the habitat they are in. There's more natural history...

Mystery Plant: The genus Hypericum | Community News - South Strand news

Its small-flowered cousin, on the right, is an herb, mostly at home in damp places, and is fairly common from Quebec to Florida, often in ditches or floodplain forests, or even in floating mats of vegetation on quiet lakes. Its comparatively humble flower features 5 tiny petals, these somewhat copper-colored, with only about a dozen stamens present. Several differences exist between the two species, but they still have a lot in common.John Nelson is the curator of the A. C. Moore Herbarium at the University of South Carolina, in the Department of Biological Sciences. As a public service, the Herbarium offers free plant identifications.

Grieving families protest 'duplicitous' website that reposts death notices to sell flower deliveries

He has now put a sign on her front door directing any flower deliveries to a neighbour's house. Quebec-based Everhere.com, founded last year with the slogan "Where loved ones are Eternal," says its aim is to create an "online database" of publicly posted obituaries, and to arrange them geographically by city. It also offers access to genealogical data. "We are trying to connect society by providing a free extension of what funeral homes provide for families," the website says. Its CEO is Paco Leclerc of Montreal, according to his LinkedIn page. Earlier this year, the parents of an Ontario child who died of cancer said they were "absolutely gutted" to see their son's obituary used in this way. Similar complaints in Newfoundland led to suggestions from a lawyer that the practice of copying text from published obituaries violates intellectual property law, just as much as if Everhere had cut and pasted a literary short story. The site offers the chance to post free messages of condolence, and it advertises flower deliveries through Bloomstoday, a florist based in Virginia that coordinates with local flower delivery services. In the new Alberta case, Rick Laursen, who works in health and safety in the oil industry, moved into his parents' house in Calgary recently to help when his father Erik, 83, was diagnosed with cancer. Erik's wife and Rick's mother Margaret, 92, has vascular related dementia, and would often ask about her husband. Rick would explain that he was very sick, but then she would forget and ask again. He found he was causing her fresh grief over and over again, multiple times a day. After consulting with her physician a...

Gardens run the gamut: 2018 tour features exotics and natives, commercial displays and private retreats

Perry uses his cutting garden to create floral bouquets that he shares with others. He added a Montreal rose and a Quebec rose to his rose garden this year. One of his favorite flowers, the Mexican petunia, is flanked by Mexican heather and Mexican hat flowers. Beyond the cutting garden is a deck and terraced steps. The fast-growing "sem" spirea line the steps going to the lower yard and lakeshore. Watch for these potted plants: bougainvillea, gardenia, trumpet flower and voodoo lilies.Bill and Jessie Blanchard1016 Fillmore St.AlexandriaNestled behind a white picket fence, Bill and Jessie have created a retreat filled with native perennials to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Benary giant zinnias greet visitors on the right as they enter the yard. Some plants are seedlings and may not be blooming yet. Bill and Jessie are participating in the Great Sunflower Project by planting Lemon Queen sunflowers; they then track the number of bees that visit to shed light on the effects of pesticides on pollinators.A new garden area in the backyard includes many pollinator-friendly plants, such as compass plants, royal catchfly, late figwort, sweet black-eyed Susan and giant purple hyssop, as well as coneflowers, lobelia, lupines and several types of native liatris that rabbits and deer won't touch. They have a bee balm garden, a surprise garden and whimsical yard art.Alexandria Golf Club2300 N. Nokomis NEAlexandriaThe Alexandria Golf Club welcomes the public to view its golf course. The club takes great pride in its well-maintained greens, bentgrass fairways, colorful flower beds and lake views. Club members will take visitors out in golf carts to share the beauty of the grounds. The terraced landscaping and flowers by the clubhouse, patio and first tee-box are a "must-see." The clubhouse will be open to anyone interested in buying refreshments or food during the tour.

The Outside Story: Mountain Laurel Is Special, In Bloom or Not

Ericaceae, the heath family. It is common in the eastern United States, and even southern Quebec, although uncommon or rare in the northern part of its range. It is a well-loved species, for its exquisite flowers and the elongated leaves that give winter color to the woods as well as cover for wildlife. The mountain laurels I remember sprawled and forked because they grew in a shaded spot. Their flowers were sparse for the same reason. But, although they are shade-tolerant, laurels like sun. Spectacular stands grow along roadsides and power lines. Their snowball-sized terminal flower clusters typically appear in late May and early June; in the northern edge of their range, they may bloom as late as July. At first they're two-tone, with the sealed buds darker than open flowers. Each cluster contains a crowd of five-sided cups ranging from white to pink, with contrasting dots and streaks of darker pink and purple.It turns out my brother and I were right - the mountain laurel's sticky flowers are special. The plant has a fancy system of dispersing pollen. Before opening, the anthers - the pollen-carrying parts of the flower - are protected from rain and wind inside 10 little knobs. When the flower opens, the anthers are exposed. When a bumble bee enters looking for nectar, an anther springs up and slaps it on its hairy little back, dusting it with pollen. It's efficient: most of the plant's pollen ends up on a pollinator.Some mountain laurel lovers transplant wild specimens, but they can be difficult to establish. Nursery stock is a more reliable option. About 80 named cultivars exist, according to Dr. Richard A. Jaynes, a horticulturist and plant breeder widely considered the mountain laurel maestro. He developed at least 25 during his career at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and at his Broken Arrow Nursery. The flowers of cultivars offer varied coloration, includin...
