Taylor's Guide to Annuals: How to Select and Grow more than 400 Annuals, Biennials, and Tender Perennials- Flexible Binding (Taylor's Guides) Several concurrent trends have created the need for a new book on annual plants. One is the increasing popularity of container gardening, for which these plants are particularly suited. Another is the hottest trend in landscaping -- creating a bold, even jungly look through the use of tropical plants and other dramatic specimens, most grown as annuals in temperate zones. To meet the demand, growers have developed hundreds of new plants and improved cultivars of old favorites. In this Taylor's Guide, buyers will find more than five hundred of the latest, trendiest plants and the best cultivars of the beloved old standbys. (19) Gumweed blossom Gumweed is a plant with bright yellow flowers indigenous to much of the United States, is commonly called curlycup gumweed. Grindelia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera butterfly species. Gumweeds are known for their copious amount of gummy resin (exudates) found on their flower heads. It may be an annual, biennial or perennial plant. The grindelias have been used for many medicinal purposes by Native Americans, including as a wash for poison oak rashes and burns and for pulmonary troubles. The resinous sap that covers the leaves has been used as a substitute for chewing gum. Green and yellow dyes can be obtained from the yellow flowering heads and pods. Grindelias are still used for asthma and bronchitis, and in common cough remedies in homeopathic medicine. Photographed at Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas, CA Inside a Jimson Weed - Datura stramonium Flower - My Sink This plant was in the bed of red, white and blue petunias under the flagpole at the West Cambridge Playground. When we weeded the bed I said to leave this one as I wanted to take a picture of it. Forgot to go back next day, following day did but bud had fallen off. Went back next day and dug it up, potted in 5 inch container and watered liberally. Started wilting immediately so kept in my sink in air conditioned house all day to recover. Now it is in a big nursery pot on patio so I can watch it grow. Won't let any seed pods develop as it is a bad weed that should be destroyed whenever it appears. Tropical but is now a widely naturalized weed in North America. Plant parts are poisonous. 4 inch long white to violet trumpet-shaped flowers See also: rogers park florist conroys flowers how do you keep cut flowers fresh in bloom florist dallas fake silk flowers modern floral centerpieces flowers in dallas the life cycle of flowering plants |
