Palazzo Rospo: Saving Marigold Seeds. When I planted garlic a couple of days ago, one of the plants I had to tear out was a dead marigold.
This photo shows the blossoms all dried out and withered; some still have the remnants of petals clinging darkly to them. Saving marigold seeds is easy! Just pick a flower head and open it up. It's full of seeds. This photo shows the flower head split open with three seeds lying beside it: the petals are still present and even have a bit of orange color to them, though the flowers were bright yellow.

Haemanthus. Description[edit] Most of the species have brush-like flowerheads enclosed in four or more membranous to fleshy spathe bracts which usually match the flower colour and, like sepals, protect the flowerheads from damage and desiccation.
The flowers produce abundant nectar and pollen and a faint smell unattractive to humans. Fruits are mostly globose and when ripe, range through bright red, to pink, orange and white, and are usually aromatic. Three of the species, H. albiflos, H. deformis and H. pauculifolius are evergreen; these three species have bulbs that are only partly buried, the exposed section often turning bright green. The winter rainfall region's bulbs on the other hand are mostly from arid habitats and are found fairly deep below the surface, usually flowering before producing leaves.
Botanical history[edit] The genus Haemanthus was created in 1753 by Linnaeus. Species[edit] Cultivation[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Peony Flowers and Plants for Sale - Nurseries Online. Peony Season The best time to plant is in autumn, the soil is still warm, yet the plants seem dormant.
For flowering, October to November is the best season for seeing peonies in full flower in Australia. However different varieties flower early, mid season and late and of course warmer and cooler climates cn influence flowering time. So you can extend the flowering season by carefully selecting the right types. Late season varieties can sometimes be problematical especially in warmer areas (Sydney and Brisbane) where they may not flower in hot years. Peony have deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. Remember that tree peony do not like wet feet, in fact once they are established they are reasonably drought tolerant. Peony roses remind us of cottage gardens as well as more formal plantings. An excellent feature in the garden border, a cottage garden planting or in a pot or container as a feature plant.
