FRITILLARIA	"This genus is widely distributed yet limited to the Northern Hemisphere. There are over 80 species. Many are found in Europe, especially round the Mediterranean, eastward to China and Japan, while others are found in North America, particularly along the western coastal states of the United States. Fritillaria are related to the genera Lilium, Notholiron and Tulipa, with their bell-shaped flowers, but the flowers are not so brilliantly colored. The plants are very graceful, however, and the checkering found on many of the flowers is most attractive. The stems are unbranched and leafy. Depending on the species, the leaves are arranged sometimes in whorls and sometimes in pairs. Not infrequently basal leaves are produced, which are broader and longer than the stem leaves. These are seen most often in younger bulbs, prior to sending up the flower spike. The flowers are made up of 6 segments, which are equal or nearly so. Each petal has a nectary at the base, which often is very conspicuous. The 'Crown Imperial' is the only one of the genus with the flowers grouped on top of a strong stem, topped by a tuft of leaves. All others have flowers up the stem, in a variety of sizes. Some even have been mistaken for dwarf lilies. The fruit is a capsule with numerous seeds. The bulbs of all fritillaria are very fragile and must be handled with care. The fleshy bulbs will dry out in a short space of time. It is therefore, important that they be protected and, if shipped, wrapped so that little or no moisture is lost. USES Excellent for both woodland and container. Can be grown in protection of cold frame, getting them into flower a little earlier and so brought indoors to be enjoyed longer." from Bulbs Volume I, A-H by John E. Bryan (ISBN 0-7470-0231-2). The Fritillaria Group is a special interest group within the Alpine Garden Society:- Fritillaria picture galleries . Articles on Fritillaria . Fritillaria Group membership details. "Who are the Alpine Garden Society? The Alpine Garden Society was founded in 1929 with the aim of promoting an interest in all aspects of alpine plants, rock gardening and rock garden plants, in fact any small hardy plants and bulbs, their cultivation in rock gardens and plant conservation in their natural habitats. We are one of the largest specialist garden societies in the world. Our membership includes amateur gardeners, plant enthusiasts, professional growers, botanists, naturalists, photographers and artists, as well as those who are just beginning to discover the fascination of alpines. Whatever your interest in alpine and rock garden plants we believe our Society has something to offer everyone." from the Alpine Garden Society.

"THE VARIOUS USES OF BULBS OUT OF DOORS Bulbs may be used to make a brilliant show in beds containing 1 colour only, or devoted to special colour schemes. They may be grown in borders, again by themselves, or intermingled with other flowering plants. They may be used as a carpet for taller growing herbaceous plants, as an embellishment to rock gardens, and lastly they may be naturalised in parks and meadows. IN BEDS Many people who love their gardens and are particularly fond of spring flowering bulbs, are deterred from growing them in a conspicuous part of their grounds by the fear that the necessity for their early removal before the plants are fully ripened will result in permanent detriment to the constitution of the bulbs, and a consequent loss of perhaps a considerable sum of money. As a matter of fact, this fear is quite unfounded, provided the bulbs are carefully lifted from their flowering quarters, and at once removed to reserve beds, where they are laid along the sides of narrow trenches and quickly covered again with soil, growth will hardly be checked, and the bulbs may be allowed to ripen at leisure, their place in the beds being at once taken by material to give a continuance of bloom. Every kind of bulb or bulbous plant may, of course, be grown in beds either by themselves or in conjunction with other plants. Here of course, I am confining myself to spring flowering bulbs of the well-known varieties such as Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocus, etc. Colour schemes of every design can, of course, be worked out by the skilled gardener, but the amateur would, I think, do well to confine himself to bulbs of 1 particular species of Daffodil or Hyacinth, at any rate, when planning his beds. An exception may be made to this rule in the case of Tulips. Provided the bed is planted entirely with Cottage, May Flowering, or Darwin Tulips, whether the colours be mixed or not, the result will be sure to be a perfect harmony. Nature has been especially kind to the Tulip in this respect; no matter how many hundreds or thousands of these flowers are planted together, their colours never seem to clash. I once grew a border of mixed May Flowering Tulips containing 80,000 bulbs. People came for miles to see the spectacle these presented when in bloom. One form of spring bulb, which is popular for bedding purposes, but against which which I am inclined to warn the beginner, is the Hyacinth. True its perfume is delightful, and when planted in close masses it produces a very fine effect, but it is a bulb which is liable to cause many disappointments. Should the situation be in the least exposed, the very slightest breeze will, with the assistance of the heavy trusses, cause the stems to break, leaving many unsightly gaps in the bed or border. Again, the Hyacinth, unlike nearly every other bulb grown in this country (UK), instead of improving with kind treatment, deteriates year by year until, in a very short time, there is nothing left except a sort of attenuated blue-bell. For these reasons I would recommend the amateur if he feels that he must grow Hyacinths as bedding plants, to cofine himself to the unnamed bedding varieties, which give an excellent effect. Very beautiful bedding effects can be easily and cheaply achieved by the carpeting of the beds with some low-growing flowering plant and planting bulbs to show themselves between:- A ground work of low growing Forget-Me-Not, pierced at intervals of 12 inches (30 cms) by tall yellow Tulips gives a lovely effect. Again, a carpet of White Arabis with scarlet Tulips peeping through is a sight which will be remembered. Coming to a later period of the year, Gladioli are especially benefited by this "carpeting" treatment. I experimented very largely in this direction a few years ago with huge beds entirely composed of medium-sized Antirrhinums of 1 colour, with Gladioli of a complementary colour planted throughout the bed 18 inches (45 cms) apart. For example, I had a bed of Antirrhunum Primrose Queen, a bright Yellow, with that deep blue Gladiolus Baron Joseph Hulot, at intervals throughout. Picture it. Again a ground work of white Antirrhinums with scarlet Gladioli, scarlet Antirrhinums and white Gladioli, and so on. Both Gladioli and Antirrhinums were vastly improved by this system; the Gladioli by having their long uninteresting stems hidden, and by the Antirrhinums by having the level monotony broken by the flower spikes towering above them. BULBS IN BORDERS Borders composed entirely of bulbs, either in mixed varieties, 1 variety, or interspersed with other spring flowering plants such as the Polyanthus, Violas, etc, provide a beautiful feature in any garden. I think one of the finest bulb borders I have ever seen was some years ago in a place on the outskirts of Dublin. This border, which was quite half a mile long and some ten feet - 120 inches (300 cms) wide, was composed entirely of Tulips, so carefully arranged with early flowering, mid, and late flowering varieties, that it presented a blaze of colour from the beginning of spring until the commencement of June. Of course, a border such as this would cost a very large sum indeed to start going; but there is no reason why it should not be carried out in a more modified manner. Clumps of bulbs again of any kind, whether Tulips, Daffodils, Narcissi, or corms such as Gladioli or Monbretia, used with discretion in the herbaceous border, give a cheery, aspect to this part of the garden at a period when it would otherwise be very dull. Some people object to the mixing of bulbs in the herbaceous border on the ground that their decaying foliage is unsightly in that position at a time of the year when everything else is in full glory. This is where discretion comes in. If they are planted near some broad-leaved or heavy "foliaged" subject, they will fulfill their object at the proper period without disclosing their presence later. ON ROCK GARDENS Many people who possess a rock garden consider that the addition of certain low growing bulbs, tubers, and bulbous plants are a great addition to the real inhabitants. Personally I hated to grow anything on my rock gardens except what were strictly speaking rock plants. I always felt that a rock garden should be retained for the cultivation of Alpine and other mountain plants alone. However, I will admit having seen very attractive effects on the rock gardens of those who do not hold the same views as myself. For the benefit of such I will mention here a few bulbous plants which are particlarly suitable for this purpose. The Chionodoxas, Puschkinias, Alliums, Bravoas, Brodaeas, Calochorti, Colchicums, Crocuses, Erythroniums, Fritillarias, Galanthuses, some of the smaller Irises, Muscaris, some of the smaller Daffodils and Narcissi, such as Minimus, Bulbocodium, Hymenocallis, etc., and lastly the Cyclamen, some varieties of which are really rock or bog plants in every sense of the word. NATURALISING BULBS Nowhere, I think, do bulbs and tubers look better than growing in the grass of parks and woodlands, and I fancy that this fact is gradually coming to be recognised. The chief thing to remember in the planting of bulbs in grass land is that under no circumstances must the grass be mown until the foliage has completely died down. If this rule is neglected, there will be precious little flowering the second year after planting, and none at all in a couple of seasons. Bulbs will do just as well under trees as in the open. At the time of the year when they are in bloom, the trees have not yet put forth their foliage, and later on the shade is, if anything, a benefit. The following varieties will do well cultivated in this manner: Crocuses, Frittillarias, Colchicums, chionodoxas, Muscari (Heavenly blue). All Daffodils and Narcissi, Ornithogalums (Star of Bethlehem), Tulips, and even Paeonies, at any rate of the old-fashioned rubust cottage sort. I grew these year after year in this manner with complete success, though I have never tried it with the more modern and delicate varieties. Once the initial expense of the purchase of the bulbs and the planting has been undertaken, they will require no further attention when naturalised in grass for many years. Then, should they become so crowded that the flowering deteriorates, it will be necessary to lift them, divide, and replant again. Do not forget that bulbs grown in this manner are greatly benefited by an autumn application of well-rotted farmyard manure or artificials. In fact it is, I consider, more necessary for them than for bulbs grown in cultivated ground, for in the case of the former the soil has not only to find sustenance for the bulbs themselves, but for the plants which Nature has already bestowed on it.

Naturalize -
The practice of growing certain plants under as natural conditions as possible.
For example; daffodils are said to be naturalized when they are planted in grass and left to look after themselves.
The term is also used to describe plants from foreign countries which have established themselves so well in the country into which they have been introduced that they behave like native plants; and are able to maintain themselves without the aid of the gardener.

Fragrant Plants as a Plant Selection Process for your sense of smell:- Sense of Fragrance from Roy Genders Fragrant Plants:- Trees and Shrubs with Scented Flowers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Shrubs bearing Scented Flowers for an Acid Soil 1, 2, 3, 4 Shrubs bearing Scented Flowers for a Chalky or Limestone Soil 1, 2, 3, 4 Shrubs bearing Scented leaves for a Sandy Soil 1, 2, 3 Herbaceous Plants with Scented Flowers 1, 2, 3 Annual and Biennial Plants with Scented Flowers or Leaves 1, 2 Bulbs and Corms with Scented Flowers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Scented Plants of Climbing and Trailing Habit 1, 2, 3 Winter-flowering Plants with Scented Flowers 1, 2 Night-scented Flowering Plants 1, 2		Fragrant Plants Scented Flora of the World by Roy Genders - was first published in 1977 and this paperback edition was published on 1 August 1994 ISBN 0 7090 5440 8:- This comprehensive book looks at scented flowers and leaves of plants from all over the world. The work has been prepared to the standards of the Index Kewensis, and is filled with the most interesting facts about the scented flora of the world. I am using the above book from someone who took 30 years to compile it from notes made of his detailed observations of growing plants.
Form of Perennials, Annuals, Bulbs, Climbers:- Mat-forming. Stems densely cover the ground and the flowers extend above. Prostrate or Trailing. Stems spread out on the ground and the flowers are borne close to the foliage. Cushion or Mound-forming. Tightly packed stems form a low clump and the flowers are close to the foliage. Spreading or Creeping. Stems extend horizontally then ascend, forming a densely packed mass. Clump-forming. Leaf-stalks and flower stems arise at ground level to form a dense mass. Stemless. Leaf-stalks and flower stems arise at ground level. Erect or Upright. Upright stems stand vertical, supporting leaves and the flowers. Climbing and Scandent. Long flexible stems are supported by other plants or structures. Arching. Long upright stems arch over from the upright towards the ground. ------ What to do about Subsidence caused by Clay? Page explains what to do about trees/shrubs/hedges that may damage the foundations of your property. What happened to a new building, which was caused by the builder, 6 years after it was built. The new owner was then landed with a large bill. The Builder warranty is first 2 years, then years 3-10 can be covered by NHBC Buildmark. Most modern houses cannot afford large shrubs, trees or hedges within 10 feet = 120 inches = 300cms of a house wall or a garden wall, so it is best to use:- Growing Edibles in Containers inside your home, and Soft Fruit List with soft fruit bush (Blueberry, Gooseberry, Blackcurrant, Redcurrant, Whitecurrant or Jostaberry) instead of a shrub from the shrub lists provides you with the size of shrub suitable for most current gardens. The Raspberry may be used as a mini-hedge in the garden to separate areas or against your boundary fences/walls. The Blackberry, Boysenberry and Tayberry cane climbers can also be used as mini-hedges or to clothe walls/fences/pergolas. They all provide you with edible fruit. The Soft Fruit Gallery compares colour photographs of some soft fruits, and Choosing a top fruit tree or remaining top fruit instead of a tree from the tree list provides you with a plant of a size that is suitable for most current gardens. These trees also produce edible fruit. Further details in these galleries - Top Fruit Apple, Cherry, Pear or You could use 1 of the trees from the Deciduous and Evergreen Trees suitable for Small Gardens. ------ The overall amount of sunlight received depends on aspect, the direction your garden faces:- North-facing gardens get the least light and can be damp. South-facing gardens get the most light. East-facing gardens get morning light. West-facing gardens get afternoon and evening light. ----- Acid Site - An acid soil has a pH value below 7.0. Clay soils are usually acid and retentive of moisture, requiring drainage. The addition of grit or coarse sand makes them more manageable. Peaty soil is acidic with fewer nutrients and also requires drainage. Alkaline Soil - An alkaline soil has a pH value above 7.0. Soils that form a thin layer over chalk restrict plant selection to those tolerant of drought. Bank / Slope problems include soil erosion, surface water, summer drought and poor access (create path using mattock to pull an earth section 180 degrees over down the slope). Then, stabilise the earth with 4 inches (10cms) depth of spent mushroom compost under the chicken wire; before planting climbers/plants through it. Cold Exposed Inland Site is an area that is open to the elements and that includes cold, biting winds, the glare of full sun, frost and snow - These plants are able to withstand very low temperatures and those winds in the South of England.	Tree/Shrub Shape:- Columnar Tree/Shrub Form A tree shape designed by nature to be a haven for nesting birds. Oval Tree/Shrub Form Rounded or Spherical Tree/Shrub Form Flattened Spherical Tree/Shrub Form Narrow Conical/ Narrow Pyramidal Tree/Shrub Form. These are neat and shapely, thus being trees for the tidy gardener. The narrowness of the tree means that bands of dense shade sweep across the garden - never creating dense shade in one area all day. Broad Conical/ Broad Pyramidal Tree/Shrub Form. These are neat and shapely, thus being trees for the tidy gardener. Ovoid/ Egg-Shaped Tree/Shrub Shape Broad Ovoid Tree/Shrub Shape Broad-headed trees usually cast a large area of light dappled shade and have broad spreading branches so loved by birds and animals. ----- Surface soil moisture is the water that is in the upper 10 cm (4 inches) of soil, whereas root zone soil moisture is the water that is available to plants, which is generally considered to be in the upper 200 cm (80 inches) of soil:- Wet Soil has Saturated water content of 20-50% water/soil and is Fully saturated soil. Moist Soil has Field capacity of 10-35% water/soil and is Soil moisture 2–3 days after a rain or irrigation. Dry Soil has Permanent wilting point of 1-25% water/soil and is Minimum soil moisture at which a plant wilts. Residual water content of 0.1-10% water/soil and is Remaining water at high tension. Available Water Capacity for plants is the difference between water content at field capacity and permanent wilting point. ----- Dust and Pollution Barrier - Plants with large horizontal leaves are particularly effective in filtering dust from the environment, with mature trees being capable of filtering up to 70% of dust particles caused by traffic. Plants can also help offset the pollution effects of traffic. 20 trees are needed to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by 1 car driven for 60 miles. Front of Border / Path Edges - Soften edges for large masses of paving or lawn with groundcover plants. Random areas Within Paths can be planted with flat-growing plants. Other groundcover plants are planted in the Rest of Border.	Tree/Shrub Shape:- Narrow Vase-Shaped/ Inverted Ovoid Tree/Shrub Shape Fan-Shaped/ Vase-Shaped Tree/Shrub Shape Broad Fan-Shaped/ Broad Vase-Shaped Tree/Shrub Shape Broad-headed trees usually cast a large area of light dappled shade and have broad spreading branches so loved by birds and animals. Narrow Weeping Tree/Shrub Shape Very useful for children to use as a secret den. The narrowness of the tree means that bands of dense shade sweep across the garden - never creating dense shade in one area all day. Broad Weeping Tree/Shrub Shape Single-stemmed Palm, Cycad, or similar tree Tree/Shrub Shape Multi-stemmed Palm, Cycad, or similar Tree Tree/Shrub Shape ----- Other uses of plants:- Crevices Garden Use Hanging Basket Use Large Leaves Use Pollution Barrier 1, 2 Use Rock Garden Use Thorny Hedge Use Trees for Lawns Use Windbreak Use Non-Tree Plants in Woodland Use Gardens by the Bay is the place to find perfect companions for all your bulbs, perennials and ornamental grasses. ----- Sun Aspect:- Full Sun: At least 6 full hours of direct sunlight. Many sun lovers enjoy more than 6 hours per day, but need regular water to endure the heat. Part Shade: 3 - 6 hours of sun each day, preferably in the morning and early afternoon. The plant will need some relief from the intense late afternoon sun, either from shade provided by a nearby tree or planting it on the east side of a building. Dappled Sun - DS in Part Shade Column: Dappled sunlight is similar to partial shade. It is the sun that makes its way through the branches of a deciduous tree. Woodland plants and underplantings prefer this type of sunlight over even the limited direct exposure they would get from partial shade. Full Shade: Less than 3 hours of direct sunlight each day, with filtered sunlight during the rest of the day. Full shade does not mean no sun. ----- Seaside Plants that deal with salt-carrying gales and blown sand; by you using copious amounts of compost and thick mulch to conserve soil moisture. Sound Barrier - The sound waves passing through the plant interact with leaves and branches, some being deflected and some being turned into heat energy. A wide band of planting is necessary to achieve a large reduction in the decibel level. Wind Barrier - By planting a natural windbreak you will create a permeable barrier that lets a degree of air movement pass through it and provide shelter by as far as 30 times their height downwind. Woodland ground cover under the shade of tree canopies.

Cultural Needs of Plants
from Chapter 4 in Fern Grower's Manual by Barbara Joe Hoshizaki & Robbin C. Moran. Revised and Expanded Edition. Published in 2001 by Timber Press, Inc. Reprinted 2002, 2006. ISBN-13:978-0-
88192-495-4.

"Understanding Fern Needs
Ferns have the same basic growing requirements as other plants and will thrive when these are met. There is nothing mysterious about the requirements - they are not something known only to people with green thumbs - but the best gardeners are those who understand plant requirements and are careful about satisfying them.
What, then, does a fern need?

All plants need water. Water in the soil prevents roots from drying, and all mineral nutrients taken up by the roots must be dissolved in the soil water. Besides water in the soil, most plants need water in the air. Adequate humidity keeps the plant from drying out. Leaves need water for photosynthesis and to keep from wilting.
All green plants need light to manufacture food (sugars) by photosynthesis. Some plants need more light than others, and some can flourish in sun or shade. Most ferns, however, prefer some amount of shade.
For photosynthesis, plants require carbon dioxide, a gas that is exhaled by animals as waste. Carbon dioxide diffuses into plants through tiny pores, called stomata, that abound on the lower surface of the leaves. In the leaf, carbon dioxide is combined with the hydrogen from water to form carbohydrates, the plant's food. This process takes place only in the presence of light and chlorophyll, a green pigment found in plant cells. To enhance growth, some commercial growers increase the carbon dioxide level in their greenhouses to 600ppm (parts per million), or twice the amount typically found in the air.
Plants need oxygen. The green plants of a plant do not require much oxygen from the air because plants produce more oxygen by photosynthesis than they use. The excess oxygen liberated from the plants is used by all animals, including humans. What do plants do with oxygen? They use it just as we do, to release the energy stored in food. We use energy to move about, to talk, to grow, to think - in fact, for all our life processes. Although plants don't talk or move much, they do grow and metabolize and must carry on all their life processes using oxygen to release the stored energy in their food.
Roots need air all the time. They get it from the air spaces between the soil particles. Overwatering displaces the air between soil particles with water, thereby removing the oxygen needed by the roots. This reduces the root's ability to absorb mineral nutrients and can foster root-rot.
Plants need minerals to grow properly. The minerals are mined from the soil by the plant's root system. If a certain mineral is missing, such as calcium needed for developing cell walls, then the plant will be stunted, discoloured, or deformed.
Some plants tolerate a wide range of temperatures, whereas others are fussy. If the temperature is too high or low, the machinery of the plant will not operate satisfactorily or will cease entirely.

The basic needs of plants are not hard to supply, but growing success depends on attending to these needs with care and exactitude. The remainder of this chapter is devoted to a discussion of these requirements, with the exception of mineral needs, which are discussed in Chapter 5."

It is worth remembering that especially with roses that the colour of the petals of the flower may change - The following photos are of Rosa 'Lincolnshire Poacher' which I took on the same day in R.V. Roger's Nursery Field:-

There are 720 roses in the Rose Galleries; many of which have the above series of pictures in their respective Rose Description Page.

So one might avoid the disappointment that the 2 elephants had when their trunks were entwined instead of them each carrying their trunk using their own trunk, and your disappointment of buying a rose to discover that the colour you bought it for is only the case when it has its juvenile flowers; if you look at all the photos of the roses in the respective Rose Description Page!!!!
