Perennial Annuals

New Guinea impatiens (with ivy geranium) from last year. Annuals complete their entire lifespans within a single year. Perennials survive for more than a single year. Biennials grow vegetatively during their first year, and then bloom, disperse seed and die during their second year, but that is another story. Most species that are appreciated as annuals here actually have potential to be…

Annuals, Biennials, and Perennials (oh my!)

Annuals Annuals are plants that complete their entire life cycle within one year. This means that they germinate, grow, flower, set seed, and die all within the same year. Annuals are often used in gardens because they provide a quick and easy way to add color and interest. They are also relatively inexpensive to purchase, as they do not need to be replanted year after year. Some common…

Tiny Curiosity: Etymology of Biannual and Biennial

"Biannual" and "biennial" have distinct meanings despite their similar spellings.

"Biannual" means occurring twice a year.

"Biennial" refers to something happening once every two years.

Origin: These terms stem from the Latin language, where "bi-" means two and "annus" means year.

Related words: annals, annuity, annum, perennial

This is part of my Tiny Curiosity series. I publish worldbuilding tidbits, trivia, etymology to this blog.

That's according to a statement this week from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the government body responsible for co-curating the U.S. Pavilion, alongside Oregon's Portland Art Museum and SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico.

The State Department's records of the U.S. Pavilion exhibitions date back to when it was built, in 1930.

Although Indigenous artists have shown work more broadly in Venice over the years, the last time Indigenous artists appeared in the U.S. Pavilion at the Biennale was in 1932 — and that was in a group setting, as part of a mostly Eurocentric exhibition devoted to depictions of the American West.  ...

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 17 September 2024

In this vegetable garden these Calendula officinalis (common marigold, goldins, Mary's gold, pot marigold, Scotch marigold) plants provide a slash of colour and a food source for pollinators. This fast growing annual or biennial has aromatic leaves and long succession of flowers from summer into the autumn until the first frosts.
