17 au 23 octobre 2022

Bulb planting continues... I planted the species bulbs into the garden then some cultivars into the cutting beds and some into pots for around the house.

Tulipa turkestanica bulbs being planted and I hope they naturalise quickly. I only planted 750 of them... I just tossed them and planted them where they landed.

I finished raking and rolling the meadow area, for the second time this year. It did a number on my elbows. Mme. and I sowed the seeds on Friday and just as we finished, rain arrived and gave it all a good shower for the rest of the afternoon.

During the week, Lucien called around a found a place in Vallarus where I could have my new solid tyre for my trottinette fitted. I tried and it was impossible for me to stretch it around the wheel. It now rides so smoothly and I don’t have to worry about any more flat tyres, in the front anyway. It is always nice to have him down for a visit. He went home Thursday.

Sunday I met up with Ilze and Daniela for a nice lunch at a beach-side restaurant. We also did a lot of plane spotting.

Tulipa turkestanica

Our plant highlights in March 2021

As we say goodbye to March, we’re so happy that visitors are able to come in to the Curve Garden again and enjoy the beginnings of Spring. With so many buds opening, the trees starting to get their fresh green and blossom on and Spring flowers popping up in every corner, we’re sharing some of our favourite blooms. 

Our aim with Daffodil (Narcissi) varieties is to have them coming up in succession, so when one variety has finished flowering, another later flowering variety takes its place. Narcissus ‘Tete a Tete’ is the earliest to emerge and if all goes according to plan, we will have Daffodils in flower right through to the end of April. We plant them in the ground and in large recycled tomato tins, so that we can move them around to fill gaps.

We were very grateful to have a Magnolia stellata (Star Magnolia) Tree donated to the Garden a few years ago. The white blooms are stunning, but don’t last very long, especially if there is stormy weather. We grow ours in a large clay pot near the entrance to the Garden, so that once it has had its moment in the spotlight, it can be moved away to a less prominent spot until next Spring. 

This year we remembered to cut back the old leaves on the pink and white Hellebores in our ‘woodland’ bed, before they were in flower, which resulted in much healthier looking plants with loads more blooms. 

We love Tulips and our volunteers plant hundreds of bulbs every Autumn, in many different varieties. The earliest flowering variety in the Curve Garden is the little star-flowered species Tulipa turkestanica - the name giving a clue to the regions where they grow in the wild. We plant ours in tins and clay bowls, so we can place them at eye level. Like the Magnolia, they don’t have a very long flowering period, but are little stars while they do. As March draws to an end, Tulipa ‘Flaming Purissima’ blooms, with its beautiful ‘Raspberry Ripple’ petals. 

The spotty-leaved Pulmonaria (Lungwort) has started to spread itself all around the main woodland bed. Its pink & purple flowers are not the most exciting, but are a good source of nectar for any Bumble or Solitary Bees emerging from hibernation on warm days in early Spring, when there are not many other flowers available. Bees are also supported by the pretty little pink Primroses that were donated to us from a garden in Wales. 

In early March, Crocus tommasinianus ‘Ruby Giant’ looked lovely under the leafless trees, in drifts in our ‘Bee Bed’ and in bowl-shaped clay pots that we placed on tables, so visitors can enjoy seeing them close up. 

We were heart-broken when we had to close our doors to the public last March, so it gives us so much joy to see visitors back in the Garden this year, experiencing Spring in all its beauty. Many thanks to our hard-working team of volunteers who planted all those bulbs last Autumn!

زهرة التوليب .. ومعانيها قال حكيم : "اذا كان معك قرشان اشتر بواحد رغيفا وبالآخر وردة " وعلى اختلاف أنواع الزهور وأشكالها وألوانها وروائحها فهي تختلف في معانيها أيضا فلكل وردة معنى ومناسبة خاصة زهرة التوليب: هي زهرة الحب أو التصريح والاعلان عن الحب تذكر احدى الاساطير الايرانية أن شابا اسمه فرهاد وقع بحب فتاة اسمها شيرين وقد وصله يوما خبر موتها فما كان منه الا ان امتطى حصانه قافزا من على الجبل فلقى حتفه وحينما نزفت دماؤه كانت تنبت من كل قطرة بدمه زهرة توليب وهذا رمز" لحبه المخلص". ومن التقاليد السائده عند الايرانيين القدماء ايضا..انه عندما يقدم الشاب زهرة توليب حمراء الى الصبية التي تعجبهـ فهو يقول لها بلغة الورد كاحمرار هذه الزهرة انا مشتعل بحبك).. وتعتبر التوليب حاليا شعار هولندا حيث ارتبطت هذه الزهرة بالغنى بعدما ندر وجودها في القرن السادس عشر ولم يعد ممكنا الحصول عليها إلا للأثرياء. وقالوا أنها تلتف حول نفسها وتبقى منغلقة كالمرأة التي تحيط نفسها بهالة من الغموض خوفا من إنفضاح مشاعرها. وزهرة التوليب.. افضل انواع الزهر في تعلم لغة الورد لغــــــة الأزهار،، لغة سامية،،، لكل البشر أنها لغـــــــة القلوب فهي تخرج من القلب لتدخل إلى القلب وتخاطب برقة وعطف وتفهم بالإحساس والمشاعر لأنها لغة قواعدها الألوان وبلاغتها حسن الاختيار والتنسيق للأزهار التي تحرك الإحساس وتشعل المشاعر برسالتها العالمية التي تفهم في جميع بقاع العالم وقد اتفق عليها من قبل الناس بقلوبهم واستعملوها للتعبير عن مشاعرهم وأحاسيسهم...وقد استعملوها منذ القدم للتعبير عن "التقدير والولاء"وكذلك عن" الترحيب والأسف والامانى " فضلا على استعمالها للتعبير عن" الحب والإعزاز". فلكل نوع من الزهور له دلالته ومعانيه ... أوراق الزيتون ترمز للسلام الورد المتفتح يرمز للأعجاب بالجمال. الياسمين يرمز للوفاء...وهكذا وهناك لغة أو حوار بين الورد والانسان ,, حيث يعتبر الفرنسيين أن : *زهرة التوليب الحمراء : ترمز للحب والعاطفة وتخاطب المرأة الجميلة وتقول حــبك لايــقاوم اما التوليب الصفراء.: يعني الحب الفاشل يعني ليـس هناك اي فرصه لنجاح الحب اما اذا قدمت لكِ باقة توليب ملونة فهذا يدل على انكِ تمتلكين اجمل عينين..بنظر من قدمها لكِ .كما أن زهرة التوليب بعد قطفها تعيش فترة اطول من بقية الزهور . زهرة التوليب ..وصفها بصلة شتوية لزهرتها شكل عمامة تتنوع ألوانها وأطوالها حسب نوعيتها وتتصف بتمتعها لفترة طويلة بنضارتها بعد قطفها. وتحظى بهالة رومانسية شديدة لما تتمتع به من أناقة وجمال. كما أنها حظيت بأهمية اقتصادية عظيمة في أوروبا إبان ما سمي بجنون التوليب. ولا تزال حتى يومنا هذا رمزاً للحب والأناقة والجمال. *حياتها يحين موعد الزراعة في أواخر الصيف وأول الخريف، ويُزهر في الربيع. ينمو التوليب في المناطق المعتدلة المائلة إلى البرودة، ويتميّز بسهولة زراعته وبقدرته على تحمّل برد الشتاء القارص. التوليب من الأزهار المعمّرة، أي أنه يعيش لأكثر من سنتين. يُزرع التوليب من الأبصال، وهي حبّات تُشبه نبات البصل من حيث الشكل. تنمو أزهار التوليب بمختلف أنواعها على ساق تتراوح طولها بين 10 و 70 سنتمتر. تحمل الأزهار ما بين ورقتين و 6 أوراق خضراء تبدو وكأنها مغطاة بالشمع، ومنها أنواع تحمل 12 ورقة. سرعة تفتّح الأزهار تعتمد على المكان الذي توضع فيه الأوعية. إذا وضعتَ الأوعية في الشتاء داخل المنزل حيث الحرارة المعتدلة، ستتفتّح الأزهار بسرعة. وإذا وضعتها على الشرفة حيث درجة الحرارة تقل عن 20 مئوية، ستبقى الأزهار مغلقة حتى مجيء الربيع. وفي الربيع تُجمع أزهار التوليب وأثناء نمو النباتات ينمو بجوار البصلة التي أزهرت عدة أبصال أُخرى تُجمع وتوضع في ثلاجات بدرجات حرارة معينة طوال فصل الصيف حتى تُصبح صالحة للزراعة في الخريف. و لزهرة التوليب حياتان: حياة فوق الأرض تنتهي بالأزهار ذات الألوان الجميلة الحمراء والصفراء والوردية. وحياة أُخرى تنتهي بتكوين الأبصال الجديدة. الزراعة والحصاد تنتشر زراعتها في كافة أنحاء العالم وتشتهر بإنتاجها هولندا. تزرع أزهار التوليب في الحدائق وفي الأصص. ويناسبها موسم تشرين الأول/أكتوبر للزراعة، مع الاهتمام بالري المنتظم وإزالة الأعشاب، وإضافة السماد المعدني. عادة ما يعمد المزارعون إلى قطف الأزهار في فترة الصباح الباكر بعد ظهور البراعم الزهرية وقبل تفتحها. قصة التوليب بين هولندا وكندا ولقد انتقلت هذه الأزهار إلى أوروبا منذ 400 سنة من الدولة العثمانية التي اشتهرت بذلك وانتشرت بها فوجدت عناية خاصة بزراعتها في هولندا التي أصبحت رمزاً لها ومصدر دخل كبير لها حيث تُصدِّر هولندا منها سنوياً بليوني بصلة!

When It Comes to Gardening Tulips Put a Spring in Your Step!

A mosaic celebrating the tulips in our garden taken last spring and early summer.

The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, of which around 75 wild species are currently accepted and which belongs to the family Liliaceae.

The genus’s native range extends west to the Iberian Peninsula, through North Africa to Greece, the Balkans, Turkey, throughout the Levant (Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan) and Iran, North to Ukraine, southern Siberia and Mongolia, and east to the Northwest of China. The tulip’s centre of diversity is in the Pamir, Hindu Kush, and Tien Shan mountains. It is a typical element of steppe and winter-rain Mediterranean vegetation. A number of species and many hybrid cultivars are grown in gardens, as potted plants, or as cut flowers.

Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high. The tulip’s large flowers usually bloom on scapes with leaves in a rosette at ground level and a single flowering stalk arising from amongst the leaves.Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip’s leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternately arranged on the stem; these fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica). The generally cup or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked on the interior surface near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).

The flowers have six distinct, basifixed stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals. Each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers. The tulip’s seed is a capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber. These light to dark brown seeds have very thin seed coats and endosperm that does not normally fill the entire seed.

Etymology

The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the "Turkish Letters" of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: دلبند‎ delband ("Turban"), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban. This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.

Tulips are called laleh (from Persian لاله, lâleh) in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, and Bulgarian. In Arabic letters, "laleh" is written with the same letters as Allah, which is why the flower became a holy symbol. It was also associated with the House of Osman, resulting in tulips being widely used in decorative motifs on tiles, mosques, fabrics, crockery, etc. in the Ottoman Empire

Cultivation

Tulip cultivars have usually several species in their direct background, but most have been derived from Tulipa suaveolens, often erroneously listed as Tulipa schrenkii. Tulipa gesneriana is in itself an early hybrid of complex origin and is probably not the same taxon as was described by Conrad Gesner in the 16th century.

Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy, known as vernalization. They thrive in climates with long, cool springs and dry summers. Tulip bulbs imported to warm-winter areas of are often planted in autumn to be treated as annuals.

Tulip bulbs are typically planted around late summer and fall, in well-drained soils, normally from 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) deep, depending on the type. Species tulips are normally planted deeper.

Propagation

Tulips can be propagated through bulb offsets, seeds or micropropagation. Offsets and tissue culture methods are means of asexual propagation for producing genetic clones of the parent plant, which maintains cultivar genetic integrity. Seeds are most often used to propagate species and subspecies or to create new hybrids. Many tulip species can cross-pollinate with each other, and when wild tulip populations overlap geographically with other tulip species or subspecies, they often hybridize and create mixed populations. Most commercial tulip cultivars are complex hybrids, and often sterile.

Offsets require a year or more of growth before plants are large enough to flower. Tulips grown from seeds often need five to eight years before plants are of flowering size. Commercial growers usually harvest the tulip bulbs in late summer and grade them into sizes; bulbs large enough to flower are sorted and sold, while smaller bulbs are sorted into sizes and replanted for sale in the future. The Netherlands are the world’s main producer of commercial tulip plants, producing as many as 3 billion bulbs annually, the majority for export.

All About Tulips

Tulips

Introduction

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name “tulip” is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring.

While tulips had probably been cultivated in Asia from the tenth century, they did not come to the attention of the west till the sixteenth century, when western diplomats to the Ottoman court observed and reported on them. They were rapidly introduced into Europe and cultivated and became a frenzied commodity during Tulip mania. Tulips were frequently depicted in Dutch Golden Age paintings, and have become associated with the Netherlands, the major producer for world markets, ever since. In the seventeenth century Netherlands, during the time of the Tulip mania, an infection of tulip bulbs by the tulip breaking virus created variegated patterns in the tulip flowers that were much admired and valued. This phenomenon was referred to as “broken”.

Breeding programs have produced thousands of hybrid and cultivars in addition to the original species (known in horticulture as botanical tulips). They are popular throughout the world, both as ornamental garden plants and as cut flowers.

Description

ulipa (tulips) is a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes, dying back after flowering to an underground storage bulb. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 4 inches (10 cm) and 28 inches (71 cm) high.

Flowers: The tulip’s flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. In structure, the flower is generally cup or star shaped. As with other members of Liliaceae the perianth is undifferentiated (perigonium) and biseriate (two whorled), formed from six free (i.e. apotepalous) caducous tepals arranged into two separate whorls of three parts (trimerous) each. The two whorls represent three petals and three sepals, but are termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The tepals are usually petaloid (petal like), being brightly coloured, but each whorl may be different, or have different coloured blotches at their bases, forming darker colouration on the interior surface. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colours, except pure blue (several tulips with “blue” in the name have a faint violet hue), and have absent nectaries.[3][4][5][6]

Androecium: The flowers have six distinct, basifixed introrse stamens arranged in two whorls of three, which vary in length and may be glabrous or hairy. The filaments are shorter than the tepals, and dilated towards their base.[6]

Gynoecium: The style is short or absent and each stigma has three distinct lobes, and the ovaries are superior, with three chambers.[6]

Fruit: The tulip’s fruit is a globose or ellipsoid capsule with a leathery covering and an ellipsoid to globe shape. Each capsule contains numerous flat, disc-shaped seeds in two rows per chamber.[7] These light to dark brown seeds have very thin seed coats and endosperm that does not normally fill the entire seed.[8][6]

Leaves: Tulip stems have few leaves. Larger species tend to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have two to six leaves, some species up to 12. The tulip’s leaf is cauline (born on a stem), strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and the leaves are alternate (alternately arranged on the stem), diminishing in size as the further up the stem. These fleshy blades are often bluish-green in colour.[3][4][5]The bulbs are truncated basally and elongated towards the apex, on the outside they are covered with a thin tunic, that is lined with hairs on the inside, but occasionally glabrous.[6][5]

Phytochemistry Tulipanin is an anthocyanin found in tulips. It is the 3-rutinoside of delphinidin. The chemical compounds named tuliposides and tulipalins can also be found in tulips and are responsible for allergies.[9] Tulipalin A, or a-methylene-?-butyrolactone, is a common allergen, generated by hydrolysis of the glucoside tuliposide A. It induces a dermatitis that is mostly occupational and affects tulip bulb sorters and florists who cut the stems and leaves.[10] Tulipanin A and B are toxic to horses, cats and dogs.[11]

Taxonomy

Tulipa is a genus of the Liliaceae (lily) family, once one of the largest family of monocots, but which molecular phylogenetics has shown to be a much smaller discrete family with only 15 genera. Within Liliaceae, Tulipa is placed within Lilioideae, one of three subfamilies, with two tribes. Tribe Lilieae includes seven other genera in addition to Tulipa.

Subdivision The genus, which includes about 75 species, is divided into four subgenera.[5]

Clusianae (4 species) Orithyia (4 species) Tulipa (52 species) Eriostemones (16 species) Etymology The word tulip, first mentioned in western Europe in or around 1554 and seemingly derived from the “Turkish Letters” of diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, first appeared in English as tulipa or tulipant, entering the language by way of French: tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulipa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend (“muslin” or “gauze”), and may be ultimately derived from the Persian: ?????? delband (“Turban”), this name being applied because of a perceived resemblance of the shape of a tulip flower to that of a turban.[12] This may have been due to a translation error in early times, when it was fashionable in the Ottoman Empire to wear tulips on turbans. The translator possibly confused the flower for the turban.[5]

3 au 9 octobre 2022

Monday morning all the gardeners at l’Orangerie sat down with M. for a little meeting to plan winter jobs. Disappointingly Couli decided not to join us. It was polite. It was the closest I’ve been to the two groundskeepers in a very long time. We all know the olive harvest is looming as well...

Monday afternoon I met up with Emma, from CPG, in Antibes for a few hours; it was so great to see her. While we were walking around, we found several streets that had put a lot of effort to green them up, including an Euphorbia milii, that was a surprise.

That evening I watched a KMIS presentation on bonsais; oh how I miss those Monday gatherings in the Jodrell. After that was my monthly Quinta meeting.

I took a day of TOIL to join Dedereck on a Mediterranean Gardens France excursion to two gardens. I took the train to meet him and he drove. We visited Le Jardin du Réal in Puget Ville and Le Jardin exotique du Château Noir, a private garden, in Giens. I was asked to write a blurb about the visit which can be found here : https://mediterraneangardening.fr/october-octobre-2022visits-to-gardens-in-puget-ville-and-giens-var/

Ann and friend arrived at mine while we were driving back. Conveniently André and Denis were returning my car so Ann drove them home and then had a house key. Ann was super kind and came to collect me and my trottinnette at Carrefour. There are just too many steep hills between there and home for it. We had a nice catch up and I heard all about their week in Italy. Then we headed up to Biot for dinner. The food was great, as expected; however, the service was appalling. Thankfully some of the kitchen staff realised this and tried to make things go a bit smoother.

Wednesday I finished cutting down all the Iris unguicularis. Then I dug up an electrical cable that was only in a shallow trench connecting my garage to the mains. I had a good chat with Alek and he is sending a friend of his to see the garden next week. I also planted a dozen more white Cyclamen hederifolium around the sanglier statue. Hopefully these will survive. There were four flowers from last year’s planting. I had a good catch up with Ginny in the evening.

Thursday and Friday I started planting bulbs, lots of bulbs. I’m planting Tulipa, Narcissus, Galanthus and Silla to put on a spring show. I’m planting : Tulipa saxatilis, Tulipa sylvestris, Tulipa turkestanica and Tulipa urumiensis as well as Narcissus ‘Angel’s Breath, Narcissus ‘Cheerfulness’, Narcissus bulbocodium ‘Mary Poppins’, Narcissus ‘Sinopel’, Narcissus ‘Tête-à-Tête’. I also found a few spots for Galanthus elwesii, Galanthus woronowii, and Scilla mischtschenkoana one of the first bulb names I had to learn at Kew.

I also played chauffeur to M. to the golf course and to the airport. I always enjoy doing something different, to keep my days interesting. He gave me a bottle of Puligny-Montrachet Les Meix from Burgundy; it was amazing.

Friday evening I went over to see Ilze and Daniela’s new place and trimmed their olive tree. It was a fun evening.

Saturday morning I couldn’t sleep, so at 05.30 I started roasting aubergines to make baba ghanoush, then roasted a chicken for a barbecue in the afternoon and baked a cake. It rained a bit while I was finally catching up on all my outstanding blog posts. Any rain is very welcome. Then, Mandy, Denis, Andre, Kim, Sophie and her mum all came over for what was supposed to be a barbecue on the beach. We had a great evening at mine instead.

Sunday I headed up to see Beth and David for a really nice afternoon, even with all the rain. They are still working to create a botanic garden of plants from Alpes-Maritimes.
