Flower Varities
Flower Varities
Sometimes sitting on the porch, summer breeze wafting through, lazy sunshine bringing blessed sleep, the scent of perfume finds me. And often times with eyes still shut, I play a game of guessing–whose fragrance might this be? The lacecap, the rose, the summer magnolia? Sometimes I guess correctly, sometimes I don’t, sometimes I just drift back to sleep.
The warmest days of the year are here, bringing a wealth of blooms. As gardeners, we capitalize on this weather, growing vegetables, cut flowers, roses, perennial beds, blooming trees and shrubs. It’s also the time of the year when we appreciate a day without chores. And there are certain annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees that seem to complement our lazy days. This is, of course, the summer garden.
Here are some old-time favorites that truly represent the warmest days of the year. Take a look–you may find several you grew up with. And if you’re not growing these summer favorites today, why wait? The time to enjoy the summer is now!
* ANNUALS
Impatiens and cleomes are two longtime favorites of the summer garden. Both are easy to grow and found as transplants or seeds in nearby garden centers. Impatiens have the reputation of being America’s #1 choice for shady to semi-shady sites. And with little wonder–transplants are available in color choices from white to pink, red to purple and shades of orange.
flower varities
Cleomes, known as old-fashioned spiderflower, are elegant country plants that can be directly sowed into the ground in the spring. Reaching between three to four feet, the foliage is deeply veined beneath enormous sprays of airy blossoms, available in pink, white and violet. Cleomes love the sun and look spectacular within the summer border.
Zinnias have always been a hot weather flower, but recent additions, such as `Zinnia Profusion,’ are making it one of the best choices to directly start from seed. Look for `Cherry’ or `Orange Profusion,’ winners of the 1999 All-American Selections Gold Medal Flower Awards. These small, bushy plants literally bloom nonstop with an extraordinary abundance of petite flowers. Great for the borders of your beds or within potted arrangements, this summertime annual takes heat, sun and humidity.
Lately I’ve noticed a generous selection of coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides) available in garden centers and being incorporated into public garden desigus. And why not? These annuals are beautiful foliage plants becoming fashionable again. Use in shaded to semi-shaded sites and in well-watered sunlit areas. The foliage ranges from unusual variegation to intense red to a favorite chartreuse-green that can liven up and complement so many garden settings.
* PERENNIALS
There’s a legion of favorites here, but limited space permits me to name only a few. I will start with a darling that simply must be included–the lily. From Asiatic to Oriental lilies, from the tiger to the Easter lily, these stately, often perfumed flowers look best planted in abundance and mingled into the garden beds. I always buy the bulbs in bulk and immediately set into the ground during the spring or fall. Choose both early to late blooming varieties, and come summer, these old-timers will bring a lasting elegance to the garden.
Three long-blooming summer perennials–the shasta daisy, purple coneflower and yarrow–are reliable favorites that bring country charm to any setting. Mixed into beds that flow around the borders of the yard, the flat-topped flowers of each species attract butterflies and birds.
The perennial Dianthus (also sold in annual and biennial species) includes a wide army of easily-found choices. Ideal for borders and sunny gardens, these petite flowers ring in the early summer and last until frost. In my own gardens the rosy, spice-scented blooms are planted nearly everywhere, and I was particularly delighted the second year when its blooms presented a rainbow of color tumbling through the large rock garden.
And don’t forget to add Liatris, though it’s not often found in modern gardens–which is reason to include it. The stalks and flowers are strictly upright, which brings diversity among all the floppy summer flowers. The blooms of Liatris, either an intense purple-pink or glowing white, first open from the top and work their way down for long-lasting interest.
SHRUBS AND TREES
Nothing advertises summer like flowering shrubs and trees. My personal favorites are the many varied hydrangeas, and, of course, the silk tree (Albizia Julibrissin). Hydrangeas are attractive shrubs, with an expanse of foliage. Given good, well-drained soil and regular watering, hydrangeas grow rapidly and can be exposed to sun or shade, depending on the heat index of your zone. The flowers are often big, showy and perfectly summertime. H. macrophylla, maybe the most well-known variety, can sport green or variegated foliage with white, blush, cherry, blue or purple flowers. Nearly all of us can remember a conversation in which these flowering shrubs’ color is determined by the chemistry of the soil–acid soil produces the blues, while neutral to alkaline brings the pinks.
Two other worthy hydrangeas, H. paniculata `PeeGee’ and H. quercifolia `Oakleaf’ belong in the summer garden. The `PeeGee’ overflows with flower clusters, opening in a lime-white, aging to pinkish-purple and finally taming bronze by late summer. The `Oakleaf’ hydrangea is simply elegant in shady sites with its elongated pinnacles of white flowers set against deeply-lobed foliage resembling the oaks.
The silk tree, also called Mimosa, loves the summer heat. In my landscape there’s not one, but four silk trees. Affectionately dubbed the “umbrella tree,” the limbs fan out like huge feathers on a hot day. Walk beneath its graceful, airy limbs and fluffy pink flowers, and you’ll probably agree the temps sway a bit to the cooler side. Very easy to grow (water it well in the hottest weather and watch it go), the silk tree ultimately reaches a height of about 40 feet and can be sized into a variety of landscape plans.
The common butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii) is a summer treat. A sunny day often finds me on the front screen porch overlooking the cottage garden watching throngs of butterflies, moths. bees and the occasional hummingbird sipping nectar from the bright purple flower of these upright, arching shrubs. Towards evening, I’ll catch a visiting bird hopping among the inner branches slip towards the birdbaths below. Look for named butterfly bushes, such as `Royal Red,’ `Black Knight’ and `Nanho Purple.’
The southern magnolia, with its intoxicating perfume and stately blossoms, is a staple of the summer landscape. Seedlings, however, can take up to ten years to mature and bloom. Opt for newer varieties that offer smaller size, faster growth and flowering within four years. Some favorites include `Edith Bogue,’ which is extremely hardy; `Majestic Beauty,’ with especially large leaves; and `Little Gem,’ which can be trained to a shrub or small tree.
* VINES
I would be amiss if I failed to include a category for these warm weather lovers. Tumbling vines romance the summer garden and make it a playful ground. While perennial vines return for yet another year, annual vines often win us over with lush, late summer blooms.
Of the perennial vines, one of the prettiest in my gardens is the silver lace vine (Polygonum aubertii), known in olden days as the mile-a-day vine. That’s because once established this perennial vine literally sprints off. Its foliage is divine–tiny spirals of pearly blossoms with a heavenly scent. And don’t omit a perennial choice from the clematis variety. I particular like `Jackamanni,’ often seen trailing up mail-boxes nearly all summer with its rich purple blooms.
When it comes to annual vines, there is one sure favorite that I reseed every year. The hyacinth bean vine (Dolichos) is a true wonder. The seeds are large and can be pushed directly into the soil. Expect the hottest days to send this vine upward, but watch out–it loves to literally cover a trellis, a fence or an arbor! When the jewel pea-blossoms of lilac and purple arrive to change over to royal pods, you’ll particularly enjoy the ongoing combination of its purple-vein foliage, flowers and seedpods.
Now that all’s been said and done, put up the trowel and find your shady spot. Kick back your feet–waste no more time! Close your eyes and let the summertime sway.

Plant Care Orchid
At this time of year, many people start hungering for the fresh colours and scents of the great outdoors. If you’re tired of the usual narcissus that you’ve had blooming since Christmas, it may be time to try your hand at growing orchids indoors. Follow our advice for successful orchid growing.
plant care orchid
Orchids have a reputation for being difficult to cultivate, but with a little knowledge and by following our care advice tips, you’ll find you can keep one alive fairly easily, as long as you give the plant what it wants and needs. And you don’t need a privately-endowed trust fund for the plants, either. Today, you can buy orchids at many discount home or gardening stores for not much more than other flowering houseplants.
Not only are these flowers beautiful, coming in a great variety of colours, shapes and scents, but the plants themselves seem otherworldly. Most people wonder, “How can I possibly care and grow this plant in a pot, when in nature it grows hanging off a tree branch?”
plant care orchid
The reason you can, is that most popular cultivated orchids are epiphytes, or air plants, which most often grow on trees or the surfaces of rocks. Their roots are usually exposed to air and get nutrients chiefly when it rains. As a result, these varieties are not grown in soil: they should be grown in pots full of tree bark, crumbled charcoal, or even pebbles. (If you have a humid greenhouse, you can grow them attached to wood or cork plaques, but don’t try this in your windowsill just yet!).
While phalaenopsis don’t need lots of heat, they do need a level of humidity that isn’t found in most homes outside of a rainforest. To supplement the humidity in your home, you can use a room humidifier, or a smaller humidifier that will just keep the area around the plants moist. Also, many indoor growers keep their orchids above a “humidity tray” instead of using saucers under the pots. The runoff from watering your plants goes into the tray and evaporates, providing extra humidity.
Try to keep your phalaenopsis watered. Don’t let the potting medium dry out completely, but water the plant whenever the medium gets to the point of being only slightly damp. That said, one of the most common ways of killing an orchid is by overwatering. To prevent this, check the weight of the pot every day. Right after you water, the pot should be heavy; when dry, the pot will be light. Note how long it takes for the pot to become dry and then water every few days as necessary. Small pots will dry out faster than larger ones. Since most home windowsills are not very humid, you should use plastic pots, which help retain moisture.
Most commercial orchid potting medium is made of tree bark mixed with charcoal and perlite chunks. If it turns out you suffer from the common inclination to overwater, you should use a coarser grade of mix when you re-pot. Overwatering will eventually kill your plant, since the roots will be robbed of the air they need.
Use houseplant food with a “balanced” ratio of 18 nitrogen, 18 phosphorous and 18 potassium, or any similar formula. Only use about ½ to ¼ the amount per gallon that is recommended on the package, since orchids don’t need as much of this food as other plants who are fed with this 18-18-18 mix.
If just a lone orchid sitting in the window isn’t decorative enough for you, put the pot in a pretty cachepot or jardinière to add visual interest. Always use a waterproof container! And make sure to put at least an inch of pebbles in the bottom so the plant won’t sit in water. (Better yet, take the plant and pot out of the decorative container when you water, and put it back after it has drained.)
Orchids grow well with other houseplants. Also, grouping plants attractively in the window has an unexpected benefit: extra humidity for the orchids!
Since orchids flower in a variety of colours, you’re sure to find a variety you can grow with a bloom that can complement the other accessories in your home.
Not only are orchids a lovely way to add colour to your home, but they also have a fascinating history. Starting about 4,000 years ago, the Chinese word for orchids–“lan”– appeared in written texts about herbal medicine. Confucius wrote about orchids, comparing the pleasure of seeing good friends to entering a room full of fragrant orchids. Meanwhile, in
Europe native terrestrial orchids were used as aphrodisiacs.
The 19th century European frenzy of exploration, combined with the growing Western interest in tropical orchids, drove orchid prices up and drove many people to explore the tropics to collect more of the exotic plants. Unfortunately, this collecting spree led to considerable orchid habitat destruction, and many species were probably lost forever as a result. Today, many orchidists – including the American Orchid Society – advocate the purchase of artificially propagated orchids, either meristem clones or seedlings, which will help discourage the collecting of orchid species at home and abroad.
The family of orchids is the largest plant family, with a great deal of variety as well, from miniatures such as Mystacidium caffrum to the 20-foot-tall Renanthera storei. Some orchids have tiny blooms smaller than a pinhead; others are bigger than an Easter lily. Some orchids bloom continuously, others bloom just once a year. Orchids are beautiful, interesting plants that are sure to enrich your life and bring a little tropical warmth into your winter home.
When Europeans first began cultivating orchids, they thought that because orchids were native to hot, humid climates, they had to have round-the-clock heat and humidity. In reality, like many other popular orchids, phalaenopsis are rather ideally suited to a bright window in a home in a temperate climate; they like daytime temperatures of about 80 degrees F, and night time temperatures of about 60 degrees. It’s the change in temperature that’s crucial for successfully growing most orchids; if there isn’t enough of a temperature drop at night, the orchids may not bloom.

Exotic Flower Guide
Exotic Flower Guide
Using indoor artificial light allows the home gardener to extend the gardening zone to a much higher one than might be possible in their particular outdoor growing situation. There has been a big trend in gardening circles to push the envelope of gardening zones by introducing tropical plants into outdoor gardening situations. It is also easy to grow exotic flowers indoors, when you have the help of great lighting that is available through the use of grow lights using a hydroponic digital ballast.
exotic flower guide
One type of exotic flower that is readily available for purchase is the orchid. This is a plant that loves the warm weather that is typically found in its native Philippines, India and southeast Asia. Orchids do not like direct sun, but instead prefer bright and indirect lighting. It performs well under fluorescent light. Consistent watering and appropriate air circulation, along with proper lighting, is needed to succeed with indoor orchids.
Another beautiful tropical plant you might wish to try growing indoors is the tropical hibiscus. This plant will get fairly tall, around five feet, and will have lovely three to six-inch diameter blooms. However, the only way this plant is going to thrive indoors is with a proper grow light. The light should be placed at five feet above the floor, and then you set your plants underneath. Fluorescent grow lamps work very well and provide the correct light spectrums required by indoor hibiscus.
Ginger is a super plant to try growing indoors. If given good lighting and protection from the cold it will thrive very nicely indoors. The spiky, vibrant flowers come in pink and red.
A Hawaiian plant that is lovely when grown indoors in a container is the Zebra Costus. The zebra’ name comes from the striped black and white two to four-foot canes that the plant produces, and it has a beautiful orange-hued flower.
You might want to try a flowering vine indoors. A Passion Flower could be just the plant you were looking for. It likes indoor temperatures ranging from the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties, and it enjoys a good quantity of indirect light. It also needs good air circulation to thrive indoors. The flowers are a purple/blue shade, and the vine also produces edible fruit after it flowers.
If you are looking for a bright spot of floral color indoors, then you might enjoy growing a bromeliad. Because they do not have an extensive root system, they can thrive in a fairly small pot, and prefer plenty of water but good drainage so the roots don’t sit in water.
All of these plants require appropriate lighting, such as would be found with HID lights used with either electronic ballasts or digital ballasts of the galaxy digital ballast variety .

Strawberry plants make an excellent addition to the home garden. 30 plants will provide enough strawberries for a family of four. The attractive plants can be grown as a groundcover or landscape ornamental, or in a traditional bed.
Choosing Strawberry Cultivars
Choose vigorous, “virus free” plants from an established nursery. Buying from a local nursery ensures that the cultivar you have chosen will do well in your area, but mail-order nurseries will offer the widest selection.
Three types of strawberries are readily available to the home gardener:
- June Bearing strawberries produce a large, concentrated crop in late spring. You’ll get more berries per season from June bearing strawberries, and the entire crop will ripen over a three week period.
- Ever Bearing strawberries produce one crop in spring and another in fall.
- Day Neutral plants are capable of producing fruit throughout most of the growing season.
Site Selection and Preparation
Strawberries need full sun to produce the best crop, but you can get a harvestable crop with as little as 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Increasing the amount of sunlight that your strawberries receive will result in more and better quality berries.
Strawberries will not tolerate drought or standing water. Be sure that the site you select is well-drained. Add organic material if the soil does not retain moisture well. Beds should be placed beyond the root zone of large trees so that the tree will not compete with the strawberries for moisture. Choose a location that will be easy to water during dry spells.
A pH of 5.3 to 6.5 is optimal, but strawberries will grow in soils with a pH between 5.0 and 7.0. Test kits are available in most garden supply stores, but if you plan to do a lot of gardening, a professional soil test is highly recommended. Soil tests are available through most county agricultural extension agents.
The site selected should be free from weeds, grubs and soil-borne diseases. Areas where sod has grown should be tilled and cultivated the year before planting to eliminate grass that will compete with the strawberries. Perennial weeds also compete with the plants and cause a marked reduction in production. Strawberries are susceptible to Verticillium Wilt, and should not be planted where tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and potatoes have grown in the past three years since these vegetables often carry the disease. If you must plant where these vegetables have grown, choose resistant varieties of strawberries such as Allstar, Earliglow, Settler, Tribute or Tristar.

Growing Strawberry Plants in Pots

growing strawberry plants in pots
Strawberries are one of the best plants to grow in containers and even do well indoors. All they need is a sunny spot where they can get at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day. If you don’t have a sunny enough window for them, they can be supplemented with artificial sunlight. To get the best results, you will need to choose the right type of strawberry and plant it correctly.
Types of Strawberries
There are many different varieties of strawberries; however, all fall into one of three categories: June-bearing, everbearing or day neutral. June-bearing strawberries produce a large, concentrated crop once a year during a three-week period, usually in June as their name suggests. Everbearing, also called ever bearing, strawberries produce two crops of strawberries, one in the spring and another in the late summer or fall. Day neutral are often considered new improved everbearers. They are capable of bearing fruit continuously from June through September. Day neutral strawberries prefer cooler temperatures, however, and will not flower or bear fruit during hot weather.
Within each of the categories are a number of different varieties. Which one you choose depends upon your climate, growing conditions, and when you want the fruit to ripen. For example, red alpine strawberries (an everbearer) are usually the best choice if you intend to grow your strawberries indoors because they are more tolerant to shady conditions. The Brighton variety, another everbearer, is known for doing well in hanging baskets. If you plan to keep your plants outdoors, check with your local greenhouse to see what varieties will grow best in your area.
How to Plant Strawberries
Strawberries should be planted in the early spring in areas with a cold winter (zones 1-5), while the temperature is still cold. In warmer areas, strawberries can be planted in the fall. Of course, strawberries can be planted at any time of the year if you plan to keep them inside.
Strawberries prefer a soil with a pH between 5.3 and 6.5, but will grow in soils that have a slightly higher or lower pH level. It is a good idea to add a controlled-release fertilizer to the soil before planting. You should also trim off any older leaves from the plant and remove all flowers and runners. Roots should be trimmed so they are about 4 to 5 inches in length and any damaged areas removed. Then, place the roots in water for an hour immediately before planting. The plant should be placed in the soil so the crown of the plant is even with the soil’s surface and the roots fan out.
For the first six weeks after planting, remove all blossoms on everbearing and day-neutral plants by either pinching or cutting them. This will give them time to be established before expending energy towards growing fruit. Water your plants every day until the growing season, and then reduce your watering to when the top inch of soil has become dry.
Strawberries should be fertilized at least once a month. However, once it is has begun flowering, fertilize it about every 10 days until harvest season is over. They prefer a fertilizer that is high in potassium like tomato feed.
No matter where you plant them, they will need at least six hours of sunlight a day to produce a harvestable crop, although full sun is better. Make sure hanging baskets are rotated to ensure that all plants get adequate light.
Strawberries are prone to both aphids and red spider mites. For either case, an appropriate insecticide will need to be used. Strawberries can also develop powdery mildew. If your strawberry plant has purple spots on the top surface of its leaves and white fungus on the bottom side, it has developed powdery fungus and needs to be treated with a fungicide.
Hanging Strawberry Baskets
Suspending strawberries off the ground is a great way to keep slugs, snails, and sow bugs off them. Five to six strawberry plants can grow in the top of a hanging basket in the spring. But if you want to make the ultimate hanging strawberry basket, gather 24 strawberry plants, a 16 inch wire basket, potting soil, and some sphagnum moss, coconut fiber or a specially designed basket liner. Line the wire basket with the damp sphagnum moss, coconut fiber or basket liner. Insert 18 of the plants into the basket sides through the sphagnum moss. After you have finished, fill the basket with potting soil and planting the remaining plants in the top of the basket. The basket will continue to produce fruit for about three years.
Strawberry Pots
Strawberry pots are designed to hold one to three plants at the top. The pockets in the sides would then be able to hold any runners that developed as the plant matured. However, many gardeners fill all the openings with strawberry right from the start. To plant your own strawberry pot, you will need a piece of PVC pipe that is capped at one end, a drill, potting soil, and a strawberry pot. Cut the pipe so that it will fit inside the strawberry pot with the uncapped end even with the pot’s rim. Drill 1/8″ diameter holes an inch apart down alternating sides of the pipe. In other words, on one side your first hole might be 1/2″ inch from the top, but on the other side your first hole would be one inch from the top.
Partially fill with the pot with soil and insert the tube, capped end down, into the center of the pot. Loosely add the rest of the potting mix. Plant each pocket. Add more soil around the roots if needed. Finish by planting two to three plants at the top and soaking the soil well. Water the pot by inserting a funnel into the pipe and pour water into it, ensuring that the water is distributed evenly through the pot.
Harvesting
Strawberries are ready to be picked as soon as the fruit has turned red. Of course, the exact shade of red that indicates ripeness depends on the variety of the strawberry. It is best to pick the fruit gently during dry weather making sure that the green calyx (stalk) of the plant remains with the fruit. Strawberries can be stored for about two days in shallow trays in the refrigerator. For longer periods, it is best to freeze them.

The life cycle of the bean plant starts with the seed. The seed is created after the successful reproduction of the specimen. If your plant has successfully bred, the seed will be viable and sprout upon addition of water. The time between exposure to water and growth is dependent on the breed of bean. However, many beans sprout within three or four days. There is a short frame of time where the sprouts can be eaten in salads. Bean sprouts are commonly used in salads, as well chinese dishes such as chow mein.
Tending to a bean in order to eat it as a sprout is done differently than tending to beans for consumption after they have turned to full beans. Bean sprouting is normally done in buckets or containers specifically assigned to that process. As you do not want contaminants on your sprouts, and sprouts do not require dirt to life, this is a much more clean method of growing your sprouts. This is why research on the life cycle of the bean plant is so key.
Without it, you will not knowledge of when your sprouts will be ready. Once they have grown into proper seedlings, the sprouts are no longer desired for food, and your effort will have been wasted. Growing beans for the complete plant requires an indoor or outdoor garden, space, and consistent access to water. Due to the height of bean plants, it is suggested that they are grown outdoors. Unlike sprouting which can be done year round indoors, you will be restrained to the natural growing seasons of beans. This makes having access to the life cycle of the bean plant invaluable, as a proper cycle will also include at what times of year beans are best grown.
While many plants can grow from bulbs, cuttings or divisions, the majority of them are grown from seeds. One of the best ways to help kids learn about growing plants is by introducing them to the basic plant life cycle. Bean plants are a great way to do this. By allowing kids to both examine and grow their own bean plant, they can develop an understanding of the plant’s seed life cycle.
General Life Cycle of a Plant
Learning about the life cycle of a flowering plant can be fascinating, especially for kids. Start by explaining what a seed is.
All seeds contain new plants, called embryos. Most seeds have an outer cover, or seed coat, which protects and nourishes the embryo. Show them examples of the various types of seeds, which come in many shapes and sizes.
Use handouts, which can be filled out and colored, to help kids with seed and plant anatomy. Go on to explain that seeds remain dormant, or sleep, until certain growing conditions are met. If kept cool and dry, this can sometimes take years.
Seed Life Cycle: Germination
Depending on the type of seed, it may or may not require soil or light to germinate. However, most all plants need water in order for this process to occur. As water is absorbed by the seed, it begins to expand or swell, eventually cracking or splitting the seed coat.
Once germination occurs, the new plant will gradually begin to emerge. The root, which anchors the plant to the soil, grows downward. This also enables the plant to take up water and nutrients required for growth.
// –>
The shoot then grows upward as it reaches for light. Once the shoot reaches the surface, it becomes a sprout. The sprout will eventually take on a green color (chlorophyll) upon developing its first leaves, at which time the plant becomes a seedling.
Basic Plant Life Cycle: Seedlings, Flowers, & Pollination
Once the seedling develops these first leaves, it is able to make its own food through photosynthesis. Light is important for this process to occur, as this is where the plant gets its energy. As it grows and becomes stronger, the seedling changes into a young adult plant, with many leaves.
Over time, the young plant will begin to produce buds at the growing tips. These will eventually open up into flowers, which is a good time to introduce kids to the different types.
In exchange for food, insects and birds often pollinate the flowers. Pollination must occur in order for fertilization to happen, which creates new seeds. Take this opportunity to explore the pollination process, including the various methods plants have for attracting pollinators.
Repeating the Life Cycle of a Flowering Plant
After pollination has occurred, the flowers transform into fruiting bodies, which protect the numerous seeds that are inside. As the seeds mature or ripen, the flowers will eventually fade away or drop.
Once the seeds have dried, they are ready to be planted (or stored), repeating the life cycle of a flowering plant all over again. During the seed life cycle, you may want to discuss various ways seeds are dispersed, or spread, as well. For example, many seeds are passed through animals after ingesting the seeds. Others are spread through water or air.

Lifecycle of a flowering Plant
This page introduces you to the basic steps in the lifecycle of flowering plants.
: sprouting of the seed. Timing is critical. Germinating too early, too late, or in the wrong place spells death. Plants use various germination cues. These include the ratio of daylight to darkness, temperature, moisture (timing and quantity), fire, abrasion, and even animal digestive enzymes. For example, passing through the digestive system of an animal usually indicates that the seed has been dispersed (moved away) from its parent (so won’t compete), that the seed might be deposited under a nurse tree if the animal is a bird that defecated while perched, and that there is some fertilizer.
life cycle of a flowering plant
Germination
Growth: development from seedling to mature plant.
Reproduction: production of offspring.
Egg/Sperm Production:
- eggs are produced in the ovary, along with two polar nuclei per egg
- sperm is produced and packaged in the anther (2 sperm cells per pollen grain)
- Double Fertilization: when pollen is accepted by the stigma, a pollen tube grows down the style and into the ovary. Both sperm cells from the pollen grain travel down the pollen tube to the ovary. One sperm cell fertilizes the egg to form the zygote which develops into the embryo and eventually the new plant. The other sperm cell fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the endosperm which provides food for the embryo. (Next time you eat a peanut, look for the small embryo, which has the leaves; the rest is endosperm (see picture).
- Seed Production: the embryo and endosperm are surrounded by a seed coat to form the seed.
- Seed Dispersal: movement of seeds away from parent. Seed dispersal is critical to avoid competition with the parent plant and to occupy new, maybe better, sites. Plants use various, ingenious methods to disperse their seeds (e.g., hooked seeds to stick on a passing animal, edible ovary to be eaten and dispersed by an animal, etc.).
Death: if plants die after less than a year, then they are called annuals (or ephemerals). If plants die after two years, then they are called biennials, and if they live for more than two years, then they are called perennials.
Sooner or later this vegetative stage will come to an end, and this plant will enter a stage of the plant life cycle called the flowering stage.

amapola flower
when it fades away. It fades away only to bloom again. Of all the beautiful flowers, a bed of golden poppies can be quite captivating.
History of Amapola Poppy: The scientific name for the Amapola poppy is Eschscholzia californica, named after Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz, a Russian ship’s doctor. In 1890, the California State Floral Society selected the California poppy as its state flower. April 6 is celebrated as the California Poppy Day. Spanish explorers named the poppy as ‘copa de oro‘, cup of gold. The Indians often told the tale of poppy blooms depositing gold in the earth. Owing to this ‘gold’ connection, the California poppy symbolizes wealth and success.
California Poppy Habitat: The California poppy is a spring flower that requires a sunny and open spot to grow. It can also grow in sandy places and rocky areas. These flowers are most common in California and also in Southern Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, and Northwest Baja. The poppy can now be grown in any garden, anywhere in the world. Seeds are easily available in shades of yellow and orange with dashes of red.
Growing Poppy Flowers: Seeds can be sowed bi-annually in autumn and spring, for continuous showing in early summer and late spring. Soil must be well prepared and the pH balance should be maintained at neutral. Seeds can be directly sowed or thinned later. Sow 0.25cm deep in the soil. Keep moist and cover. The cover should be removed as soon as the saplings sprout. Inadequate sunlight would result in either the death of the sapling or poor flower show. Transplant at a four-leaf stage. Feed it with liquid manure, when the buds first appear. They are mostly insect and pest-resistant.
Flower Description: The California poppies have a bright sun-kissed orange color, hence the name golden poppy. They are generally single-petaled. They bloom completely when it is sunny and close at night or on cloudy days. The flower stem is usually 5 to 20 inches tall. The seeds are found in the center of the flower. Insects are the main pollinators. American botanist, Richard Spellenberg says, “The fragrance attracts many beetles which serve as pollinators”.
Uses of California Poppies: The plant, root, flower and seeds of the California poppy are used for therapeutic medicinal purposes. Unlike the red poppy, the California poppy is milder in sedating, is analgesic and has antispasmodic properties. It is dried and used to prepare diffusions, tincture and powder. Following is the list of its uses.
- It helps to normalize psychological function without depressing the central nervous system.
- It treats insomnia, anxiety and bed wetting in children.
- It helps in treating behavioral disorders such as ADD and ADHD in children and young adults.
- The California flowers treatment method that uses the flower essence to treat learning disabilities like dyslexia in children, is a widely accepted treatment.
- California poppies help relieve toothache.
- They are a remedy for high fever, rapid pulse and persistent spasmodic cough.
- They help to contain head lice.
- The tincture is used to treats cuts and scrapes.
Flower Arrangements: California poppy flower arrangement can liven up the dullest corner with its golden hues. A mix of other colors and varieties can also be added, as per the requirement
