The New England Wild Flower Society Guide to Growing and Propagating Wildflowers of the United States and Canada
This most complete and authoritative guide to North American wildflowers offers clear and detailed information on growing and propagating 200 genera and 1,000 species of these precious plants. No matter what your level of interest — whether it is to introduce a few plants into your garden or to learn how to propagate them for yourself or for sales, this book will inspire as well as inform you. With Cullina’s guidance, you’ll learn in which parts of the continent the plants are found in the wild, and — even greater helpful — where and how to succeed with them in your own garden wherever you live. As open land disappears, so too do many of the native plants that once flourished on this continent. Gardeners may be their last resort. It is the author’s philosophy that a garden is not just an extension of our houses but a habitat we share with plants and the animals that depend on them for food and shelter. He writes: “There is value in preserving wilderness, but there is equal value in restoring the suburbs and cities where most of us live to something closer to balance — for our children’s sake and the sake of all the other species around us. Growing wildflowers is not only fun and easy, it fosters a genuine connection with the region you live in.” William Cullina is the nursery manager and propagator for the New England Wild Flower Society, the oldest and one of the most widely known plant conservation organizations in North America. In 2000, the Society celebrated its 100th birthday. In spite of its regional name, their commitment is to the study and protection of all temperate North American native flowers. The Garden in the Woods, in Framingham, Massachusetts, is the popular showcase for the NEWFS. It features naturalistic displays of native plants organized by habitat and includes woodland, bog, meadow, pine barren, western/alpine, and pond side plantings.

Common plant and flower diseases

Filed under: Flowers — Administrator @ 11:07 pm

Everyone who gardens will sooner or later have to deal with
common diseases of plants and flowers. While some gardeners are
luckier than others in this regard, everyone, from the smallest
casual gardener to the largest commercial growing operation, has
had to grapple with this serious issue.

Both flowering and non-flowering plants are prone to a number of
pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Fungi are able
to survive in the soil, independent of the plants, while both
bacteria and viruses require a plant host for their survival.

Fungi Fungi are among the most primitive of all organisms, and
they are able to reproduce through the use of spores. These
spores can be extremely difficult to kill, and the spores are
designed to spread rapidly. Fungi produce spores in large
numbers, and some of the spores are able to enter plants through
their roots, while other spores attach themselves to the leaves
of the plant. A single infected plant can release up to 100
million spores, so it is important to completely eradicate any
fungal infection.

Bacteria Unlike fungi, which can lie dormant for years or even
decades in the soil, bacteria need both warmth and water to
multiply and grow. Therefore, the majority of bacterial diseases
are farther of a problem in climates that are both warm and wet.
Bacterial infections are easily spread through rain, splashing
water, and even unknowingly by gardeners as they move between
their plants. Most bacteria enter plants through a natural
opening like a flower, or through a wound or cut in a stem or
leaf.

Viruses Viruses are even smaller life forms than bacteria, and
they are able to reproduce only from within the cells of the
plant or animal they infect. Certain viruses can be transmitted
from plant to plant by insects such as aphids, thrips and
leafhoppers, while still others can be carried by infected seeds
or pollen spores. Like bacteria, viruses often enter plants
through cuts or wounds in the stems, leaves or other parts of
the plant.

As with all other disease treatment, the first step to
capablely treating a viral, bacterial or fungal infection in
the garden is to diagnose it properly. Every gardener should
keep a book or guide on hand which shows the effects of common
plant diseases. This guide will prove inappreciated when trying to
figure out what is bothering your plants. If you are still
stumped for a diagnosis, be sure to seek the assistance of the
staff at your local garden center, or the help of a in addition
experienced gardener.

When treating bacterial, fungal and viral infections, the highest
approach is to try the most natural, least invasive methods
first, and to move on only if those natural cures do not produce
results. It is always a good idea to keep the use of harsh
chemical pesticides and fungicides to a minimum, both for the
health of your garden and the health of the wider environment.
