A Flower For Every Day September


Although Etyngium giganteam flowers earlier in the summer, it is in September when it loses its colour substance and becomes a whitened ghost. The great gardeners of the beginning of the century appreciated this prickly subject, which has all the soft colour and good contour of an eryngitim when it first comes out but becomes white and papery instead of fading. The famous Miss Willmott of Warley loved it so much that it is sometimes known as "Miss Willmott's Ghost" and the late Gertrude Jekyll loved it too. It is a biennial and sows itself generously, but with its long tap-roots it must be moved before it gets too big.

A clean, weed-free greenhouse and a pest control program reduce insect problems. Botrytis is a problem in the propagation area. Poinsettias are also very susceptible to three major root rot diseases, Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Thielaviopsis. Well-timed fungicide applications reduce losses caused by fungi.

The French Period Or Grand Era Floral


The French period or the Grand era was influenced by the French monarchy beginning with Louis XIV. The emphasis during this period was on classic form. Floral designs were refined and elegant compared to the often overdone flamboyance of the earlier Dutch Flemish arrangements. Fan-shaped, round, and crescent-shaped designs were favored. Other designs featured in the Grand era were tall designs as well as small casual bouquets. Roses were very popular along with all the spring bulb flowers—lilacs, lilies, and the newly introduced gladiolus.
Containers, including vases, urns, and flasks, were very ornate and made of porcelain, metal, or glass. Shell and leaf-shaped dishes and baskets or bowls were also characteristic of this period.

The Guide Lxia Flower


A genus comprising about thirty species of small non-hardy South African bulbous plants. They are not spectacular, but they do possess great elegance and charm, with their small, inch-wide, star-like flowers borne on thin wiry stems. They are much appreciated for cutting and will last long in vases. Above all, they are interesting for their remarkable range of colours, which includes many tints not usually found among other flowers, particularly in the colours such as orange, pink, scarlet, crimson, yellow, and even green and black. They are warm-climate plants, and while the corms may tolerate slight frost they will not survive outside in areas where the ground becomes deeply frozen for long periods. They also make excellent pot plants. The corms are small and should be planted in October–November, mulching the soil surface with a good layer of straw, salt hay, leaves, ashes, or peat if it is likely to freeze during the winter, but removing the protective layer when surface growth appears. Flowering begins about mid-summer and is long-lasting; the small star-like blooms are closely arranged on erect spikes. The foliage is linear, graceful, and grass-like. All the species given here are attractive, especially the so-called green-flowered species, Ixia viridiflora. Corms offered for sale are generally a mixture of hybrid origin, with a very wide selection of colours. Named varieties in separate, distinct colours are, however, also available commercially. Propagation is easily effected by dividing the dormant corms, which should be treated in the same manner as tulips—removed from the soil after flowering, dried, stored, and replanted the following autumn. Ixias can also be raised from seed sown in a warm greenhouse in spring, but several years are necessary to produce flowering-sized corms.
