Discs and Florets Flower Elaborated Shape

Disc - Many daisies are easy to grow and very free-flowering. The typical colour contrast between the disc and the surrounding rays creates a lively effect (Argyranthemum 'Maderia Santana'). Many daisies are excellent cut flowers.

Floret - Floret is a small or reduced flower, especially 1 of a cluster in a composite flower - such as the florets of a sunflower (The very small flowers in a ring inside the yellow petals of Helianthus annuus). It is also any of the tight, branched clusters of flower buds that together form a head of cauliflower or broccoli.

7. When I do not have my own or ones from mail-order nursery photos , then from March 2016, if you want to start from the uppermost design levels through to your choice of cultivated and wildflower plants to change your Plant Selection Process then use the following galleries:-

• Create and input all plants known by Amateur Gardening inserted into their Sanders' Encyclopaedia from their edition published in 1960 (originally published by them in 1895) into these
  • Stage 1 - Garden Style Index Gallery,
    then
  • Stage 2 - Infill Plants Index Gallery being the only gallery from these 7 with photos (from Wikimedia Commons) ,
    then
  • Stage 3 - All Plants Index Gallery with each plant species in its own Plant Type Page followed by choice from Stage 4a, 4b, 4c and/or 4d REMEMBERING THE CONSTRAINTS ON THE SELECTION FROM THE CHOICES MADE IN STAGES 1 AND 2
  • Stage 4a - 12 Bloom Colours per Month Index Gallery,
  • Stage 4b - 12 Foliage Colours per Month Index Gallery with
  • Stage 4c - Cultivation, Position, Use Index Gallery and
  • Stage 4d - Shape, Form Index Gallery
  • Unfortunately, if you want to have 100's of choices on selection of plants from 1000's of 1200 pixels wide by up to 16,300 pixels in length webpages, which you can jump to from almost any of the pages in these 7 galleries above, you have to put up with those links to those choices being on
    • the left topic menu table,
    • the header of the middle data table and on
    • the page/index menu table on the right of every page of those galleries.

I like reading and that is shown by the index in my Library, where I provide lists of books to take you between designing, maintaining or building a garden and the hierarchy of books on plants taking you from

• the coffee-table book where different blue primrose cultivars occur in the prose on pages 17, 90 and 202,
• to ones where there is a table of primrose cultivars with blue flowers on a single page,
• to what plants to associate with those blue primroses and
• companion plants for them.

Functional combinations in the border from the International Flower Bulb Centre in Holland:-

"Here is a list of the perennials shown by research to be the best plants to accompany various flower bulbs. The flower bulbs were tested over a period of years in several perennial borders that had been established for at least three years.

In combination with hyacinths:

• Alchemilla plants or seeds with book and Plant Crib
• Campanula lactiflora seeds
• Campanula poscharskyana
• Geranium (diverse soorten en cultivars zoals psilostemon, sanguineum) plants or seeds
• Hosta plants or seeds
• Nepeta faassenii plants or seeds
• Ophiopogon plants or seeds
• Salvia nemorosa plants or seeds
• Solidago plants or seeds (not to be confused with Solidago Riders)
• Teucrium plants or seeds

In combination with tulips:

• Anemone hybrids
• Agastache perennial herbs
• Aster hybrid seeds or plants (could make the train to see them using one from Aster Hobbies - Gauge One Live Steam models!)
• Astrantia plants or seeds
• Centranthus plants or seeds
• Dicentra plants or seeds
• Geranium (many cultivars such as versicolor, macrorrhizum, psilostemon, ‘Philippe Vapelle’) plants or seeds
• Helianthus ‘Lemon Queen’
• Helleborus plants or seeds
• Hemerocallis plants or seeds with British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society
• Heuchera plants or seeds
• Kalimeris plants or seeds
• Lavandula - as seeds for shrubs, as hedges
• Monarda plants or seeds
• Origanum hybrid plants or seeds
• Sidalcea hybrid plants or seeds
• Stachys grandiflora ‘Superba’
• Thalictrum plant or seed
• Veronica longifolia plant or seed
• Veronicastrum plants or seeds

In combination with narcissi:

• Alchemilla plants or seeds with book and Plant Crib
• Astilbe plants or seeds
• Brunnera plants or seeds
• Carex plants or seeds
• Chelone plants or seeds
• Darmera plants or seeds
• Epimedium plants or seeds
• Geranium (many species and cultivars such as magnificum, endressii, macrorrhizum) plants or seeds
• Gillenia plants or seeds
• Hemerocallis plants or seeds with British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society
• Hosta plants or seeds
• Kirengeshoma palmata
• Lamium plants or seeds
• Ligularia dentata
• Lysimachia punctata
• Lysimachia clethroides
• Omphalodes plants or seeds
• Pulmonaria plants or seeds
• Tellima plants or seeds
• Waldsteinia plants or seeds

For narcissi, the choice was difficult to make. The list contains only some of the perennials that are very suitable for combining with narcissi. In other words, narcissi can easily compete with perennials.

In combination with specialty bulbs:

• Aquilegia plants or seeds with DVD on 'A Guide to Aquilegias: sowing growing and breeding'
• Astilbe plants or seeds
• Bergenia plants or seeds
• Campanula ‘Birch Hybrid’ plants or seeds
• Campanula portenschlagiana plants or seeds
• Geranium (diverse soorten en cultivars zoals sanguineum, wlassovianum) plants or seeds
• Hemerocallis plants or seeds with British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society
