27 septembre au 3 octobre 2021

Monday I started cutting back the Iris unguicularis (below: before the chop, right; after the chop, left). Matt and Will headed home around 9.30. It was great having them visit. I’m looking forward to playing more Catan this winter. James showed up around 10am and I spent the morning with him and Mme. Monday was Quinta book club, this time Fernando Pessoa was the author of choice.

Tuesday I continued cutting Iris then Alejandro showed up with a student so we had a good look around the garden and picked out a better spot for the future dry garden nursery, at the very top of the property. In the morning M. prompted me to speak with Adam to agree where I could put my nursery, as it is currently part of the potager.

Tuesday evening I joined James, Alejandro and Alek on a Zoom call to talk about seeding the prairie. I led the meeting with photos I’d taken throughout the year and Alejandro described how we seeded on the day. It went on for an hour and a half and it was so nice to talk about it and look back over the project.

Wednesday morning I asked Adam and he is happy for me to use the spot, and there are fantastic views of Nice up there. Later, Ronie helped me measure out the area and I will come up with a couple suggestions for a layout. I continued cutting back the Iris and then collected seeds after the sun dried every thing out. There’s been a lot of dew in the mornings, so I have to wait to collect.

Thursday I found the first Crocus in bloom. I continued cutting down the iris and then I spent a few hours blowing all the pine needles and other debris off the gravel and the paved areas around the house.

Friday I finished chopping down all the grass and iris that I want to; next week the general big chop will commence. I made a delicious red lentil stew for dinner and I made enough to enjoy it all weekend.

Saturday was beautiful so I had an early start in my garden. I did a bit of weeding my small veg patch, which has just a few more tomatoes and an abundance of chillies. Sara-Jane and Kahlil saw me as they were leaving the domain in the Fiat and asked if I’d like to go to the flea market with them. I said yes so after a quick change, we all headed to the flea market next to Antibes Land. SJ bought a lot as usual. I bought a book in French; I really must start putting in effort to learn the language. From there I walked to my hairdresser and then walked home. I had lunch with Ronie and Julietta; it was our last together for the season. 

I came home to tackle my meadow. I first strimmed the paths as low as possible. Then I went bed by bed and cut them to around 200mm. I went around the nicely flowering Gaura. That took over an hour. Then after a snack, I started raking up the cuttings. I started again with the paths. I only was able to get one bed raked before it was getting dark and the mosquitoes came out in force. The beds take a very long time because I’m trying to remove as much debris as possible. I want to give any flowers that may be there a chance to compete with the overwhelming grass.

Sunday I raked two more beds before it started raining. Ronie brought me a Pelargonium x fragrans in a broken pot. I repotted it and took the opportunity to take some cuttings to propagate it as well. I then started cleaning my house for Susie who is coming next week. I took a much needed hot bubble bath and turned in early.

Plant of the Day

Monday 7 January 2019

From July until late autumn Galatella sedifolia (Aster sedifolius, Rhone aster) produces masses of mauve-blue flowers, with five to ten petals and yellow centres. In winter the seed heads produce an impressive display. Here the plants are in nursery rows as part of the plant production at Waterperry, Oxfordshire, UK.

Medinilla sedifolia blooming this week in the African tropical house. Native to Madagascar. Been busy this week, but hopefully share a few things with you over the next couple days. #medinillasedifolia #greenhouse #Biodiversity #UConn #uconneeb — view on Instagram https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/749ee10060e4c2801c8d9b403b01fd8b/5DF1BD5A/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/69206582_103305440996206_1484638315052825506_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com

Stonecrop Gilia (Aliciella sedifolia) is an extremely rare plant endemic to Colorado, growing above 13,000’. It has blue flowers, similar in hue to Gentian, and is considered “morphologically unusual” due to its succulent leaves. It was first seen by (white) eyes in 1892, and then went virtually unseen until 1995 when it was seen again in the same location on Sheep Mountain in San Juan county; the only county where it can be found in Colorado. Alpine plants are extremely endangered due to trampling, but are most obviously imperiled by climate change. High mountain regions act as ecological “islands” for alpine species, harboring adequate conditions for growth only at higher elevations, but inadequate conditions at lower elevations... the lower regions acting as the waters that separate each mountain peak, effectively creating disjunct plant populations that become totally isolated. As climate change continues, these proverbial waters will continue to rise. But for now, the wind will carry A. sedifolia’s winged seeds from one island to another—an act of ecological faith.

Bulbine Seedlings under Autumn light

ぷるぷると起きだしたブルビネたち。夏越ししてくれただけでもほっとしつつ、実生2-3年ズに特徴が出てきて二重にうれしい秋。

お気に入りは北ケープNakabergのsp。写真では分かりづらいけれど銀の微粒子が散らばる変わった子。

Nakabergのもそうだけれど、名もなき未命名種が多いブルビネたち。Field Number Queryはspだらけ。ハオルチアやブルゲリにもひけをとらない美しき透明植物なのにーなぜー。分布調査や分類があまり進んでいないのかな？ The listには182種（78種+シノニム97種+未確認7種）が載ってるけれどきっともっといてはる。

ブル専グループ作りました。SPもメセブリもぜひ。 https://www.flickr.com/groups/bulbine/

ところでNakabergって中山じゃん( 艸｀*)ｸｽｯとしたのは自分だけですかね。はい、そうですよね。
