Dear All,
Why did http://www.seminaria.ru put Ошибка 403 - доступ запрещен on its main page? Is it temporary? The material offered there is precious beyond price, and it would be a tragedy if the site goes down.
Почему сделал http: // www.seminaria.ru помещали Ошибка 403 - доступ запрещен на его главной странице? Действительно ли это является временным? Материал, предлагаемый там драгоценн вне цены, и это была бы трагедия, если участок(сайт) понижается(терпит неудачу).
(That's thanks to Rustran.)
Best,

| Daffodils |
[Oct. 9th, 2008|10:17 pm] |
The box finally arrived yesterday. They're leftovers from a bulb sale in Ohio, from Phyllis Hess. Got some planted yesterday, then Dave Nice visited, got the rest done today. I got:
Narcissus ‘Brackenhurst’ 2 Y-O, Barbara Abel Smith
N ‘Cool Flame’ 2 W-P, Mitsch
N ‘Crater’ Y-GRR, de Navarro
N ‘Fire Flash’ 2 O-O, Richardson
N ‘Fire Raiser’ 2 O-O, Carncairn
N ‘Glencraig’ 2 Y-R, Ballydorn
N ‘Gunsynd’ 2 Y-ORR, Jackson
N ‘Happy Event’ 2 Y-ROO, Richardson
N ‘Heron’ 2 W-P, Mitsch
N ‘Icelandic Pink’ 2 W-P, Mitsch/Havens
N ‘Kimmeridge’ 3 W-YYO, Blanchard
N ‘Kindergarten’ 3 W-OOR, Bell
N ‘Kirklington’ 2 W-P, B Abel Smith
N ‘Merlin’ 3 W-YYR, Richardson
N ‘Molten Lava’ 3 Y-YYR, Mitsch
N ‘Radical’ 6 Y-Y, Rosewarne EHS
N ‘Royal Charger’ 2 Y-O, Richardson
N ‘Shining Light’ 2 Y-R, Board
N ‘Snowfire’ 4 W-R, Helen Richardson
N ‘Sobig’ 2 Y-O, Philips
N ‘Sparkling Jewel’ 3 W-YYR, Bloomer
N ‘State Express’ 2 Y-GOO, Duncan
N ‘Tangent’ 2 W-P, Mitsch
The number is the division, the letters are the colors, the name is the breeder. Dug a new bed behind the tool shed, planted three large Helleborus against the back wall, with Epimedium davidii between them. Have small pockets left to put Crocus banaticus in, plus a little space in front for Cyclamen coum. Couldn't fit all the Daffodils in, so around the roots of a departed Juniper I dug out a couple self sown Tradescantia, and put 'Sobig' and 'Tangent' there. Good soil, no improvement needed. But I had a few Narcissus 'Pink Paradise' and Snowdrops already there, and a small Paeonia mlokosewitschii in the middle of the area. For its sake it was good that I took out the Tradescantias. So, 'Sobig' is in front of N 'Pink Paradise' and behind the Peony, and 'Tangent' is in front of it. Look forward to seeing them next spring. |

| Lilium auratum hybrid seedlings |
[Jul. 28th, 2008|12:27 am] |
|
Three more Lilium auratum hybrid seedlings began to flower today: two white ones and a white with lots of pink spots. The two whites are not identical. One is in the front yard, the other in back. The one in back has more green in the throat reaching outward along the midribs, more papillae, and the fragrance is different. The one in front has a fragrance sort of like cinnamon and some Dianthus as a component, the one in back doesn't. |

| Iris tridentata |
[Jul. 26th, 2008|10:36 pm] |
Last night Dr Who had daleks, tonight I had garlic. Sometimes "exterminate!" is the right idea. Weeded in six sites today, one of which is infested with Pinellia pedatisecta. Many years ago I sowed a packet of Pinellia seeds from Beijing BG. It was a number of years until I regretted it; I even sold it from my nursery. After all, it is a stately and interesting plant. With a more focused dedication to the goal, I could be rid of it in a few years. It propagates from seed rather than bulbils as some other species. Every seed germinates.
Patrick McMillan took it for granted that Iris tridentata flowered in July; I thought it was amazing. Other populations elsewhere flower somewhat earlier. I am delighted to have an Iris now. It is a bog plant. I let cranberries surround it; perhaps I should restrain them.
Yesterday a white with pink spots Lilium auratum hybrid seedling began to flower. Today a deep rose one did, but it's spoiled by having the sixth petal eaten off.
And a plain orange Hemerocallis sp from Chen Yi bore its first flower. Small but tall. Tall relative to itself rather than to other Daylilies. It came labelled as "H nana", which it definitely isn't. Hang on, maybe I had better take back that "definitely". Well, it isn't aurantiaca, exaltata, or forrestii, so what is it? There are hordes of far showier Daylilies, but the plain ones complement them.
Melanthium hybridum begins with white flowers. They ultimately turn green, beginning with those at the bases and ending with those at the tips. Almost all have turned green now; just a few are still white. |

| collected Panax and Polygala |
[Jul. 15th, 2008|11:07 pm] |
The fourth Clematis crispa flower opened. Barry Glick's Phlox looks more and more like floridana. Lilium sargentiae has a beautiful fragrance. This evening while weeding nearby, I didn't capture it, it captured me. More Daylilies, including a dark red seedling.
Waded across the creek and walked in the woods this afternoon. I think in future those will be separate activities, partly because they call for different clothing, but also because the manner in which a large part of the area was logged renders the experience a lot less enjoyable. A lot of what was logged was wasted, and either piled up or left in site. Hope the Cucumber Magnolias aren't all gone. They occur(red) in a narrow belt just above the abandoned railway. Fell over a barbed wire fence lying on the ground. A couple small streams coming down the mountain were rerouted by bulldozer. The spot where I had naturalised Dicentra formosa in the early 1970s was worked over by a machine. The Platanthera psycodes population is gone. I'm going to do my walks in the woods elsewhere; my memories of what had been here are spoiled by present reality. But i did see some Rhododendron maximum in flower. And I collected a few Panax trifolius and Polygala paucifolia. Sent those plants to the UK about a half dozen times each; never got back a report of success, and they're not mentioned in the AGS Encyclopaedia of Alpines. |

| three Lilies |
[Jul. 14th, 2008|11:15 pm] |
Three Lilies began to flower today. Yesterday we had three rains. that may have moved them to do it. Lilium sargentiae I think, it has brown pollen, the trumpet is typically shaped (what does that mean? that it isn't long or short or wide or narrow.), the throat is green, the back has some brownish-purple, the stature is short; it has several offspring who will soon follow. L papilliferum ±, the orange runaround Lily from China; the brown spots are on papillae, but a lot of auratums have a lot more papillae; it looks somewhat like Norman Deno's L davidii, which is clump forming, but this is very stoloniferous. And L maximowiczii, which is a softer orange.
Rhexia virginica opened its first flower. Clematis crispa opened its third. Another will follow. It bears a few flowers over a long period.
And there are lots and lots of Daylilies, and they are glorious. |

| Melanthium, Cimicifuga, Prosaptia |
[Jul. 10th, 2008|10:58 pm] |
Melanthium hybridum is a species. Walter chose to name the species "hybridum" for reasons best known to himself. The flower looks like a tiny doily. One plant has many tiny doilies. Under the 10x, you will see the reproductive parts of different flowers positioned a little differently, perhaps reflecting different stages of development. It differs from M virginicum in habitat-- M virginicum grows in boggy or other wet sites, M hybridum in mesic sites. The population I know is partly on a shady, rocky slope above a small creek, partly on closer to level ground in an open woods with lots of seedling to sapling size trees, plus some Rubus. They also differ in appearance of flowers (M virginicum's petals are not as shovel shaped, and the stamens are positioned differently), flowering time (M virginicum is earlier, but not that much), and leaves (in M hybridum, only the leaves further up the stalk are narrow and linear, those at the base could just about pass for Helonias or Heloniopsis).
Cimicifuga racemosa is also stately, elegant, graceful and beautiful. It is known and grown by a lot more people than the Melanthium.
One of my Chinese ferns, labelled Prosaptia contigua (I say "labelled" based on past experience of the likelihood of a match between the label and the plant; that's what it MAY be), began its growing season earlier this month. Why? Well, maybe it expects a dry spring and a wet summer, but that's a guess. Will it get enough of a growing season to do well here? We'll know in a few years, or maybe we'll know next year.
One new seedling Hemerocallis flowered, a plain (no eye or other frills) medium lavender red, not distinguished in any way, not outstanding, but not bad. And I identified a yellow that had puzzled me, 'Modern Manners'. How? I found a label! And it's next to 'Star Spangled', as it is on the chart. It didn't get moved since I drew the chart. |

| Melanthium hybridum |
[Jul. 9th, 2008|10:54 pm] |
Had thought it was Heloniopsis orientalis until it flowered. After all, that's where I planted the Heloniopsis from B Yinger years ago. Looks like that plant croaked. What I have is Melanthium hybridum, which is beautiful and fascinating. The flowers are many, small, white with some green markings, each petal is shaped like a shovel, so there is open space beyond the center but before the outside. Suggest you look at it with a 10x magnifier, the structure is complex and different. I like it a lot. More anon.
Crocosmia began to flower.
Two Hemerocallis seedlings flowered. One is dark purple, similar to one that already flowered, but of better form. The other is dull rosy red, has five petals and five sepals, let's call it a semidouble, with pale midribs on the petals. Smallish, there's a certain charm to it. |

| good Daylily seedling |
[Jul. 8th, 2008|11:18 pm] |
Didn't write for several nights because I have some plants not correctly identified. Especially the reds, but others too. However, one of my seedlings flowered for the first time today: a red brown, or a brown red. It looks browner in the morning and evening; more red shows in full sun in the afternoon. It's a good, respectable plant. The flower is of good size and well shaped. It's not an astounding breakthrough, but it is of a color I don't have anything else like. It was made by blending two parents. My earlier seedling (a few more will follow), the very dark one, has smallish flowers, sometimes a petal is misplaced or misshaped, and the color is washed out to varying degrees over the middle ribs of the petals. It looks like an inferior version of a plant I already have. It will not be propagated. Today's seedling will be, but probably won't be given a cv name.
'Believe in Tomorrow' began to flower today, and I believe in today too. It's purplish red with a darker purplish red eye. Not certain whether the near white that began its season today is 'Queen Anne's Lace' or 'White Tie Affair', but I think it's the former. The soil one grows it in will affect how white it is. In this garden it was originally in a site that brought out the white, but now it's in a site where a bit of yellow shows. It grows better in the latter site, so that's where it will stay. 'Not absolutely certain that I have the 'Rayon de Miel' label on the right plant because of two internet photos. One is way off, with lots of brownish-purple overlay. The other is just slightly so, with a little more pinkish-purple than mine. Mine is deep cream (a little coffee in the cream)with a faint washy hint of pinkish-purple overlay. I think that its color too is affected by soil and site. 'Seminole Wind' is an especially good pink. There are lots of others, but my narrative would be a confused one. |

| Lilium 'Schellenbaum' |
[Jul. 3rd, 2008|10:18 pm] |
Lilium 'Schellenbaum' opened its first flower today. Deep red with some orange or yellow beneath, and lots of black spots. Bred by Karl Feldmaier. A triploid. That means I don't have anything to cross it with. Just found that 'Yellow Whoppers' is a tetraploid. Don't remember its having borne seed in past years. Assumed that Schellenbaum meant "nut tree", but in his book Edward Austin MacRae said it means "tower of bells". A distinct image from "bell tower". It is excellent; I treasure it more than any other Lily hybrid.
Another dark red Hemerocallis flowered today. It is very dark, but not as dark as my seedling yesterday. But the flower is larger. Don't know what it is, do know what it is not: it's not 'Silent Sentry', which is dark purple rather than red, and I doubt that I ever planted it in that spot. |

| the sound of silence |
[Jul. 2nd, 2008|11:12 pm] |
The locusts' lives have ended. All that remains are their mortal remains, and they are silent.
The noise of passing trucks has become more annoying. Saw overkill today. Several huge pieces of machinery to cut and scrape along the roadside. One truck driving backwards had a bloke on the front bumper holding a shovel. That part was hilarious. He could have done everything the entire crew did for thousands of dollars less.
Got it wrong last night; that's "Anakin" not "Anakim".
Tricyrtis latifolia opened its first flower. Yellow with lots of brown spots.
Today's Daylilies: one of my own seedlings flowered for the first time. Very, very dark ruby red, with green throat. Good looking. The flower is much smaller than most other cultivars. That may not be bad if it bears lots of them. On its first day, a peachy yellow bore nine flowers. It may be 'Corelli' (not); ie, a plant sent under the name 'Corelli', which it isn't. It's excellent. Hopes are slim that I'll ever know what its real name is. And there was an excellent orange with darker orange band. And 'Jedi Tequila Sunrise' again, 'Sunday Morning' (yellow), 'Cardinal Rule' (red), 'Harmony's Red', 'Ruby Laser', 'Vesuvian', 'Mendocino', aff 'Grape Arbor', 'Mico', 'Star Spangled', 'Sophar', 'Big City Eyes', 'Butterfly Weed', and the species and Stella. Dug out some fulva in back this evening. |

| Daylily identification |
[Jul. 1st, 2008|11:46 pm] |
Of the hemerocallis newly flowered today, got a positive identification for 'Jedi Tequila Sunrise', which is yellow with a red eye. (Where Anakim Skywalker went wrong was he said "Yes, Master!" a few times too often.) And a mostly positive ID for the ruby red with small green throat 'Vesuvian'. It's a real good match for an online photo, but doesn't look exactly like the photo in Peat & Petit, The Color Encyclopedia of Daylilies.
Last evening's visitors were Gary Gill and B C Condon, who travelled by bicycle. They liked both the garden and the ajvar. |

| more Daylilies |

Hemerocallis 'Big City Eyes' opened today. It has a green and yellow throat, then a thick dark purple band, then lighter purple (I think, but I may be misremembering the color) on the outer part. It is superb, but growing meekly because of surrounding competition. It had a large self sown Tradescantia growing in front of it. "Had" because I dug it out. H 'Coyote Moon' also flowered for the first time this year. Yellow. And so did yet another plant with lilac flowers somewhere in the 'Grape Arbor' range. |

| Life on the Planet Ajvaria |
[Jun. 29th, 2008|10:43 pm] |
A completely misleading subject line. Well maybe not completely. I'm eating ajvar on crackers now, and yellow hunter cheddar from Cabot's. Told you a couple days ago that Hemerocallis 'Star Spangled' had opened. Wrong. That was 'Mico'. 'Star Spangled' opened today. Lilium 'Yellow Whoppers' opened today. It's a pendant(turned downward but not straight down as a martagon) sort of bowl-shaped yellow flower with spots. And the aff regale opened its second flower. Would like to better describe the difference from regale in the trumpet's shape, but feel vocabularily challeneged. It's a longer trumpet. The point at which it flares open is a little further down the tube. The tube isn't tubular, but it's a little more in that direction than regale. L regale opens a bit more from the base forward. When I say "a little", I mean the difference is noticeable but not overwhelming.
And Spigelia marilandica opened today. Mine, from the south Carolina Coastal Plain, is substantially later than those from inland populations. By "open" I mean the yellow part that opens to five "petals" is showing on one flower. You just see the scarlet tube on the rest, and they've been developed for the past few days. Regret that the botanical description does not offer terms with which to make this description clearer.
This evening Magnolia virginica offered two open flowers on a low branch I could bend even lower so Mom could easily smell them. |

| Lilies and Daylilies |
[Jun. 28th, 2008|10:43 pm] |
My Lily that is pretty much like regale opened its first flower today.The purple back, and the yellow throat and anthers are typical. But the point where the trumpet flares open and the trumpet's shape in profile are just a little bit different. So is its having almost no fragrance, and to me most significantly, so is its habit of growth. Is it regale? Well, it's not leucanthum v centifolium, which has brown pollen for one thing. (Note that my answer is not the most direct, but it's the closest to the truth I can come.)
An upfacing Asiatic hybrid Lily with yellow flowers with orange flares and brown spots toward the base also began to flower.
The Daylily outside Mom's bedroom is 'Ruby Laser'. It's tall, it's red. A plant much like 'Paper Butterfly' began to flower, but my memory says it's different from the one by that name that flowered a few days ago. Is that a fact, or a flawed memory? The one like 'Grape Arbor', and 'Seductor' flowered, and there were six flowers on the sp from China with taller, smaller flowers.
Dug out a robust Tradescantia that was overcompeting with and blocking access to Daylilies. Had to use a spade; a fork would not lift it. And tackled another tough customer: a small patch of Vinca minor. |
|
|
| more Daylilies |
[Jun. 28th, 2008|12:10 am] |
|
Two more Daylilies flowered: 'Star Spangled', a tall plant with very large semi-spidery yellow flowers, and an average sized plant with lilac colored flowers, similar to 'Grape Arbor', but more spidery. And H 'Butterfly Weed' flowered again. I'd call it an orange popsicle orange. Not fulvous. A mean nasty rabbit bit two stalks from H "nana". Flowers lying on the ground flowered anyway. It looks very close to 'Stella d'Oro'. Am I overlooking or choosing to disbelieve the obvious? Hope not. The flower stalks are a little shorter. The leaves are definitely shorter and would not extend above the flowers if held upright, as Stella's would. I'd call it an improvement on Stella, but the improvement is by regress, not progress. But the question still haunts me, did I have Stella or a seedling from her sent to me from China? Surely not! Am I really sure? Well, I think "nana" started to flower earlier than Stella. And it's very close to the taller "nana", which is taller than both it and Stella. |
|
|
| Daylilies |
[Jun. 26th, 2008|11:14 pm] |
Two Daylilies from Maggie Harlan began to flower today: the very short orange 'Butterfly Weed', and the tall 'Harmony's Red'. 'Paper Butterfly' and 'Seductor' also flowered.
Yesterday's mail brought plants from Nina Lambert of
Epimedium koreanum
Arisaema candidissimum seedlings
Pinellia cordata with patterned leaves, which it turned out I already have one of and didn't know what it was. And it proved its Pinelliahood by having a bulbil at the base of the leaf and top of the leaf stalk. And seeds of Arisaema consanguineum in two forms.
Today's mail brought the Janis Ruksans catalogue from Hitch Lyman. The only Galanthus transcaucasicus is a winter flowering one for € 50 a bulb. It's not only not the price I want to pay, but not the plant I want. I want a normal, typical Galanthus transcaucasicus. He has lots of other great stuff.
Went to State College today, bought a new mouse-- a Logitech LX3. It works. After all, I'm writing this. Last night the old one, a MS Intellimouse, stopped moving vertically and only moved horizontally. It had plenty of dust inside, but cleaning it out didn't induce it to work. Alas, when I was almost home and turned into the driveway, the one ice chest slid to the front, and I think that's when one of the milk bottles borke. "Don't cry over spilled milk." Well, I didn't literally, but sure felt sad about it. Put it in a small tub of the sort taken home by hospital patients; maybe a critter will drink it tonight. (There was no glass in it.) The stuffed envelope that bottle was in had lost much of its stuffings. Also got ajvar (vegetable spread with red peppers and eggplant) and lekvar (plum butter) for the first time. Tried the ajvar on toast tonight, I like it. |
