Gardeners' calendar - Year planner. Flower Anatomy Printout. EnchantedLearning.comFlower Anatomy The Flower: The flower is the reproductive unit of some plants (angiosperms). Parts of the flower include petals, sepals, one or more carpels (the female reproductive organs), and stamens (the male reproductive organs). The Female Reproductive Organs: The pistil is the collective term for the carpel(s). Each carpel includes an ovary (where the ovules are produced; ovules are the female reproductive cells, the eggs), a style (a tube on top of the ovary), and a stigma (which receives the pollen during fertilization).
The Male Reproductive Organs:Stamens are the male reproductive parts of flowers. A stamen consists of an anther (which produces pollen) and a filament. Fertilization: Pollen must fertilize an ovule to produce a viable seed. Types of Flowers: Some flowers (called perfect flowers) have both male and female reproductive organs; some flowers (called imperfect flowers) have only male reproductive organs or only female reproductive organs. Plant Glossary. Future Gardens (Part 2) Permanent and Designer Gardens | Greenforks. My previous post showed the setting for these gardens which are part of a Butterfly World Project which is presently being built near St Albans. There are 3 permanent gardens, a charity garden and 12 designer gardens. The designer gardens are open until 4th October 2009. Afterwards they will presumably be demolished but I don’t know if new ones will replace them.
I hope so. First let’s look at the 3 permanent gardens which are designed by landscape designer Ivan Hicks. 'Through The Flowerpot' Garden The Second garden shows how a wildlife habitat can be made from the most unusual objects including toys, books and household items. 'Theatre of Insects' Garden The Third is a fantasy garden with small circular gardens designed to reflect wasp galls inside a leaf. 'Spangle Gall' Garden The charity garden is in part a memorial to a 12 year old boy called Harry who died of meningitis in 2007. 'Harry's Garden' Then we have the Designer gardens. 'Nest' 'Nature's Artistry, Autumn's Edge' 'Welcome' How to Create a Natural Log Pathway + Video. This is a sponsored post for Homes.com. As always all opinions are our own.
We like (what we like to call) “free projects” or in this case very inexpensive projects that make a HUGE impact on our living space. It all started with quite a few collected logs that Mr. Woodsy had been hoarding collecting over the past month. Watch our video to learn just how we created this natural log pathway for $20! From the video you saw we needed a lot of logs to make this pathway.
Wheel barrels full of logs… He spent a good 2-3 hours cutting logs with the chain saw. I spent an hour one evening sealing wood logs. And I had to share this photo since this is how we tend to get towards the middle-to-end-of filming… a little goofy. And then he proceeded to do the rain dance on video… did anyone catch that? As Jon noted in the video he used 5 bags of Sand Paver Base (its not really sand its like little stones).
It didn’t take us too long to actually lay down the logs. Share and Enjoy. HO-37: New Plants from Cuttings. Plant Propagation by Stem Cuttings: Instructions for the Home Gardener. Search plantillustrations. Garden tour | Stupid Garden Plants. Hello Plant People I’ve been absent from the blogosphere, lost in the beauty of the sunny backyard garden. Too much work, a whole lot of plants, and life goes on. Funny how an absent of writing seems to come off as missing an old friend, I love sharing stories of my plant insanity, and hope some of you are still stopping by. While June certainly had more rain clouds then sun rays, it’s moisture was well received by my water hungry garden. Let’s take a closer look.
The tropical border is looking lush and exotic. Let’s look at what’s been blooming the last couple weeks. An old standby, Echeveria glauca is blooming early this year. Aloe aristata is the first Aloe in my collection to yield blooms. Eccremocarpus scaber (Chilean Glory Vine) overwintered just fine in a pot placed outdoors, it’s rate of growth is almost scary. What I suspect to be Phytolacca polyandra otherwise known as Chinese Poke Weed. You’ve got to love the intricacy of it’s flowers. Close up strangeness. Lovely lupin flowers.
Australian Dung Beetle Project. The Australian Dung Beetle Project (1965–1985), conceived and led by Dr. George Bornemissza, of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), was an international scientific research and biological control project with the primary goal to introduce foreign species of dung beetle to Australia in order to control the polluting effects of cattle dung. Background and inception[edit] Upon his arrival to Australia from Hungary in 1951, Dr. Bornemissza, an entomologist and ecologist, noted that Australian farmland was covered in a large number of cattle dung pads.[1] This was in contrast to the fields of Europe where the dung was removed and recycled back into the soil by various species of dung beetle (coprids).
Aims of the project[edit] Soil quality Experiments were carried out in South Africa[4] to assess the rate at which dung beetles returned dung to the soil to aid nutrient recycling.
