Walk into any nursery, florist, or supermarket, and you'll encounter displays of dozens of gorgeous flowers, from chrysanthemums to orchids. At one time these fanciful blooms were the rare trophies of the rich and influential-even the carnation, today thought of as one of the humblest cut flowers. Every blossom we take for granted now is the product of painstaking and imaginative planning, breeding, horticultural ingenuity, and sometimes chance. The personalities of the breeders, from an Indiana farmer to Admiral Lord Gambier's gardener, were as various and compelling as the beauty they conjured from skilled hybridization. In Visions of Loveliness: Great Flower Breeders of the Past, Judith Taylor wrote engagingly about the vivid history and characters behind eighteen types of popular flowers. In this companion volume she uncovers information about another eight familiar flowers: poinsettias, chrysanthemums, gladioli, pansies, carnations, water lilies, clematis, and penstemons. Taylor has tapped into an enormous trove of stories about extraordinary people with vision and skill who added to our enjoyment piece by piece, starting about 150 years ago. This beautifully illustrated book will please flower enthusiasts, gardeners, and history buffs alike.

Orquideas, Historias y Personajes Desde el inicio, la busqueda de la belleza ha sido una de las prioridades del ser humano, y con respecto a la belleza de las orquideas, no fue secundario para nadie. Desde siempre el ser humano ha cultivado plantas para usarlas como alimento u otras utilizaciones materiales, pero junto a las plantas "utiles" ha cultivado tambien flores que, no teniendo un uso material, satisfacian una necesidad espiritual. Fascinantes y misteriosas, las orquideas son las reinas de las flores. Este libro es como un relato que guia al lector en la exploracion del maravilloso e infinito mundo de las orquideas, para conocer todos los aspectos: que son, que las distingue de las otras flores, donde viven, como viven, como se reproducen, etc. Y despues la historia, las anecdotas, las leyendas, los personajes que las hacen aun mas apreciadas, porque las orquideas con una historia, tienen algo mas. Y finalmente, como cultivarlas en casa, luz, agua, temperatura, fertilizacion, como se corta la vara despues de la floracion, como se trasplanta, principales problemas, enfermedades y parasitos, como hacerlas florecer, etc. Las Phalaenopsis, por mas que sean las orquideas mas vendidas, no son mas que una pequenisima parte del mundo de las orquideas, un mundo maravilloso que no espera otra cosa que ser descubierto para mostrar a los amantes del verde sus tesoros, este libro quiere acompanar de la mano a aquellos que, despues de algunas Phalaenopsis, quieren explorar este infinito y fantastico mundo."

Once upon a time--before the 1860s--people loved old roses like "Pearl of Gold," "Marchionesse of Lorne," or "Autumn Damask." Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses--how they were created and made their way to America--and the unforgettable people who "rustle" them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an "unknown yellow."
Die kuns om spesifieke plante naby mekaar te plant sodat hulle mekaar op een of ander manier bevoordeel, word al honderde jare beoefen. Plantpasmaats is plante wat mekar help deurdat hulle 'n reuk of chemikalee afskei wat peste en plae afweer, of deurdat hulle voordelige insekte aanlok wat die omliggende plante bestuif of jag maak op skadelike insekte. Sommige plante stel weer voedingstowwe in die grond vry wat deur ander plante gebruik kan word. Het jy geweet ...Kappertjies wat saam met pampoene, skorsies en komkommers geplant word, versryf kewers, plantluise en ander insekte wat die groente beskadig. En boonop is kappertjies eetbaar! Wortels en preie is uitstekende plantmaats. Preie verjaag die wortelvlieg en die wortels jaag weer die vliee en motte wat uie en preie beskadig. Die verskillende reuke verwar die insekte en ontmoedig hulle so. Aspersies keer dat aalwurms tamatieplante se wortels aanval. Koljaner verjaag inskete en word in 'n natuurlike spuitstof teen die rooispinnekopmyt gebruik. Knoffel verjaag plantluise en is veral 'n goeie plantpasmaat vir rose. Hierdie titel beskryf meer as 100 kruie, voedsel- en medisinale plante en hulle plantpasmaats, met raad oor hoe, wanneer en waar om hulle te plant, te oes en te gebruik. Verweef in die teks is resepte vir natuurlike bemestingstowwe en spuitmiddels en inligting oor die medisinale en huishoudelike gebruike van plante. Afsonderlike afdelings dek nuttige onkruid, natuurlike spuitstowwe, deklae, bemestingstowwe en ander metodes om die grond te versterk.

A detailed look at early American flowers and herbs, with expert advice on creating a garden with historically accurate plants Hounds-tongue. Ragged robin. Costmary. Pennyroyal. All-heal. These plants, whose very names conjure up a bygone world, were among the great variety of flowers and herbs grown in America's colonial and early Federal gardens. In this sumptuously illustrated book, a leading historic plant expert brings this botanical heritage back to life. Drawing on years of archival research and field trials in Colonial Williamsburg's gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, Lawrence Griffith documents fifty-six species of flowers and herbs and provides details on how they were cultivated and used. For each plant, an elegant period hand-colored engraving, watercolor, or woodcut is presented along with glorious new photographs by Barbara Temple Lombardi. This book is a dazzling treat for armchair gardeners and for those who have visited and admired the famous gardens of Colonial Williamsburg. It is also an invaluable companion for twenty-first-century gardeners who will appreciate the specific advice of a master gardener on how to plan, choose appropriate species for, and maintain a beautiful, historic flower and herb garden. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is a not-for-profit educational institution that operates the world's largest living history museum. Published in association with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
