Acacia dealbata

yellow
acaciacflosdealbatawikimediacommons1

Jan-Apr

In spring the scented, nectar-rich blooms provide a valuable source of food for bees and other insects.

600-1200 x 240-360
(1500-3000 x 600-1000)

Evergreen fern-like 2-pinnate, hairy leaves, 12cm (5in) long, each with 40-80 linear, glaucous to silvery leaflets.

Use in 36-120 inches (90-300 cms) in height - The Prime Site of a house wall or high wall

Silver Wattle, mimosa. Spikes of small, golden-yellow, globular flowers from Jan-Mar

Culture

The above shrub requires rather hard pruning in spring, immediately after flowering, in order to keep the shrub shapely. The best soil is a fibrous, sandy loam and peat free from lime. Plant outside from pots early in May (preferably in the shelter of a large building).

Acacia baileyana

Fluffy bright yellow globose mimosa flowers.

Dec-Apr

180-300 x 120-240
(500-800 x 300-600)

Fine silvery-grey foliage

As a freestanding, upright or fan-trained tree against very sheltered large wall, where they gain from the protection.

In most districts this is in a cool greenhouse in the UK, except Isle of Wight

Acacia longifolia

Yellow

Jan-Mar

360 x 240
(900 x 600)

Dark Green

Secures uninhabitated sand in coastal areas and steep banks in subtropical regions of the world where there are not too many hard frosts. Use as hedge.

Evergreen tree. Long-leaved wattle. Invasive in Portugal and South Africa and weed in Australia. In most districts this is in a cool greenhouse.
Cannot grow in shade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adonis

 

 

 

 

 

Herbaceous Perennial. Pheasant's Eye. Rock garden plants

Culture

These plants do well in almost any moist but well-drained garden soil, though sandy peat is perhaps most suitable. They require all the sun they can get during the winter months and a certain amount of shade during the summer, thriving in the shelter of deciduous trees.

Adonis amurensis

Golden

Mar

9 x 9
(22.5 x 22.5)

Rigid stems rise from the ground from February onwards and carry both flowers and leaves, although the leaves usually do not unfold until flowering has almost finished.

Can be grown in sinks, trough, pans or scree beds. Also in deciduous woodland

Yellow flowers from February to April.

Adonis vernalis

Golden-Yellow

Apr

9 x 9
(22.5 x 22.5)

Fern-like foliage

Can be grown in sinks, trough, pans or scree beds.

Buttercup-like flowers. The plant is poisonous, containing cardiostimulant compounds, such as adonidin and aconitic acid.

Culture

Equal parts of loam, leafmould and sand. This is a suitable mixture for plants which require a light, open, porous soil with good drainage. A good mixture for troughs in a sheltered position in part shade. All bulbs and conifers do well in this medium. A limey pH medum is also required.
Full Sun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alnus

 

 

 

 

 

Bearing attractive catkins in late winter and early spring.

Tall-growing deciduous trees, which grow well in moist soil in sunny, open positions and will thrive even in swampy ground. Plant in autumn in suitable weather in moist ground. Prune when required to keep the trees shapely and to form a good leading shoot. Use as trees for the second line of wind reduction in coastal conditions, or a garden in windswept conditions.

Anemones

 

 

 

 

 

Several anemones, which given a certain amount of protection and a fairly rich soil, will usually produce a number of flowers during the winter months.

Culture

Plant in September or October 2 inches (5 cm) deep and 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) apart in a warm, sheltered position in deep, light loam with well-rotted leaf-mould. Some grit or sand should be added to afford good drainage, and when growth appears, sprinkle the surface of the ground every 3 weeks with weathered soot. If not planted in the shade of deciduous trees, protect as advised for Anemone apennina.

Anemone apennina

Greek Anemone - a native of the Greek hills. It will grow quite well on a grassy bank.

Culture

Plant from August to October, 2 inches (5 cm) deep and from 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cms) apart in a sheltered position in partial shade under deciduous trees or shrubs. It likes a light, sandy loam or well-drained leaf-mould, and if not planted in the shade of deciduous trees or shrubs, cover the plants with cut bracken in hot weather and also at the beginning of frosts.

Anemone fulgens

9-12 x
(22.5-30 x )

 

 

Flowers useful for cutting

Culture

Plant from August to October, 2 inches (5 cm) deep and 5 inches (12.5 cm) apart, in a spot facing south-west or north, and well-sheltered from ground winds. The loam should be light and sandy, both moist and well-drained. Give plenty of water when in full growth and cover the decaying leaves with a sheet of glass.

The Daily Telegraph Best Flowers to Grow and Cut by David Joyce (ISBN 0 7112 2366 1) groups plants according to defined characteristics of flower simple shape, elaborated shape, flower details and flower textures. Using that system, this plant gallery has thumbnail pictures in:-

  • Number of Flower Petals
  • Flower Simple Shape, Flower Elaborated Shape and
  • Flower Natural Arrangement Pages

A thumbnail of a plant can be in each of the above 3.
The text menu above links to those pages and the thumbnails in the menu link to the Plant Description Page of that flower.
Explaination of each page is at its bottom.

The following details come from Cactus Art:-

"A flower is the the complex sexual reproductive structure of Angiosperms, typically consisting of an axis bearing perianth parts, androecium (male) and gynoecium (female).    

Bisexual flower show four distinctive parts arranged in rings inside each other which are technically modified leaves: Sepal, petal, stamen & pistil. This flower is referred to as complete (with all four parts) and perfect (with "male" stamens and "female" pistil). The ovary ripens into a fruit and the ovules inside develop into seeds.

Incomplete flowers are lacking one or more of the four main parts. Imperfect (unisexual) flowers contain a pistil or stamens, but not both. The colourful parts of a flower and its scent attract pollinators and guide them to the nectary, usually at the base of the flower tube.

Androecium (male Parts or stamens)
It is made up of the filament and anther, it is the pollen producing part of the plant.
Anther This is the part of the stamen that produces and contains pollen. 
Filament This is the fine hair-like stalk that the anther sits on top of.
Pollen This is the dust-like male reproductive cell of flowering plants.

Gynoecium (female Parts or carpels or pistil)
 It is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. Each pistil is constructed of one to many rolled leaflike structures.
Stigma
This is the part of the pistil  which receives the pollen grains and on which they germinate. 
Style
This is the long stalk that the stigma sits on top of ovary. 
Ovary
The part of the plant that contains the ovules. 
Ovule
The part of the ovary that becomes the seeds. 

Petal 
The colorful, often bright part of the flower (corolla). 
Sepal 
The parts that look like little green leaves that cover the outside of a flower bud (calix). 
(Undifferentiated "Perianth segment" that are not clearly differentiated into sepals and petals, take the names of tepals.)"

 

 

 

The following details come from Nectary Genomics:-

"NECTAR. Many flowering plants attract potential pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. The primary solutes found in most nectars are varying ratios of sucrose, glucose and fructose, which can range from as little a 8% (w/w) in some species to as high as 80% in others. This abundance of simple sugars has resulted in the general perception that nectar consists of little more than sugar-water; however, numerous studies indicate that it is actually a complex mixture of components. Additional compounds found in a variety of nectars include other sugars, all 20 standard amino acids, phenolics, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, organic acids, oils, free fatty acids, metal ions and proteins.

NECTARIES. An organ known as the floral nectary is responsible for producing the complex mixture of compounds found in nectar. Nectaries can occur in different areas of flowers, and often take on diverse forms in different species, even to the point of being used for taxonomic purposes. Nectaries undergo remarkable morphological and metabolic changes during the course of floral development. For example, it is known that pre-secretory nectaries in a number of species accumulate large amounts of starch, which is followed by a rapid degradation of amyloplast granules just prior to anthesis and nectar secretion. These sugars presumably serve as a source of nectar carbohydrate.

WHY STUDY NECTAR? Nearly one-third of all worldwide crops are dependent on animals to achieve efficient pollination. In addition, U.S. pollinator-dependent crops have been estimated to have an annual value of up to $15 billion. Many crop species are largely self-incompatible (not self-fertile) and almost entirely on animal pollinators to achieve full fecundity; poor pollinator visitation has been reported to reduce yields of certain species by up to 50%."

 

The following details about DOUBLE FLOWERS comes from Wikipedia:-

"Double-flowered" describes varieties of flowers with extra petals, often containing flowers within flowers. The double-flowered trait is often noted alongside the scientific name with the abbreviation fl. pl. (flore pleno, a Latin ablative form meaning "with full flower"). The first abnormality to be documented in flowers, double flowers are popular varieties of many commercial flower types, including roses, camellias and carnations. In some double-flowered varieties all of the reproductive organs are converted to petals — as a result, they are sexually sterile and must be propagated through cuttings. Many double-flowered plants have little wildlife value as access to the nectaries is typically blocked by the mutation.

 

There is further photographic, diagramatic and text about Double Flowers from an education department - dept.ca.uky.edu - in the University of Kentucky in America.
