Native planter box update: oops! all palmate coltsfoot edition

[flowerishness]

What's blooming in the garden today? Well maybe it's time for another walk down the garden path. As regular visitors know, the house is up for sale and by next summer I expect to have a planter box on a balcony, and maybe a couple of houseplants for company. This is day three of my garden tour. I hope you're enjoying it. I know I am.

And I'm not done yet...

In order of appearance:

Rhododendron hybrida

Ajuga reptans (bugleweed)

 Symphytum x uplandicum (Russian comfrey)

Tellima grandiflora (fringecups)

Hyacinthoides non-scripta (common bluebell)

Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose)

Convallaria majalis (lily-of-the-valley)

Went to see some family today and went on another nature walk with my grandpa, just in time to see the cats ears (Calochortus tolmiei) blooming! And everything is so much taller and greener than when I was there just two weeks ago, it's gorgeous

Edit: Found the name of this weird stalky flower thing I found!! Called a fringecup (tellima grandiflora)

Plants are a treasure trove of forms — one which is carelessly overlooked only because the scale of shapes fails to catch the eye and sometimes this makes the forms hard to identify. But that is precisely what these photographs are intended to do — to portray diminutive forms on a convenient scale and encourage students to pay them more attention.

Horse-chestnut shoots become smiling totems in Karl Blossfeldt's photography of plants from the 1920s. From his internationally best-selling Urformen der Kunst (later translated into English as Art Forms in Plants). The book’s 120 plates display Blossfeldt’s remarkable photographs of plants – varieties from Equisetum hyemale (Winter Horsetail) to Tellima grandiflora (Fringe cups) — all captured in extraordinary detail as if under the microscope, frozen into new forms almost beyond recognition.

In his introduction to the first edition, gallerist and collector Karl Nierendorf writes that Blossfeldt finds a “happy permeation” of three elements: nature, art, and technology. It is a common trope, oft-repeated in relation to Blossfeldt’s work. According to Hans Christian Adam, Blossfeldt strips nature down.

Blossfeldt might have used a fairly basic camera, but the results are startling. The plants become graphic, geometric. One cannot help but draw parallels between Blossfeldt’s Urformen der Kunst and Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur, published a couple of decades prior. In both works, the distinction between nature and art blur. Both depict nature in such detail, with such magnitude, that it appears as almost artificial, as an artwork. Indeed, upon closer inspection, it is revealed that Blossfeldt did in fact sometimes retouch his photographs to emphasise and enhance the beauty of the forms he sought to celebrate.

Blossfeldt’s work was quiet and unassuming, but it quickly aligned with the avant-gardes of Weimar Germany: from “New Vision” to “New Objectivity“. It provided a counterpart in the natural world to what others had attempted to achieve in the excess of the modern city: from the work of August Sander to László Moholy-Nagy. The critic Walter Benjamin was one of the first to review Blossfeldt’s book, claiming his fellow German had discovered the “optical unconscious”: that which was invisible to the naked eye revealed retrospectively or technically through the apparatus of the camera. In this sense, Blossfeldt completes Goethe’s idea of the Urpflanze — a primordial plant that contains within itself an infinity of potential forms: when dogwood becomes a bishop’s staff, when horse-chestnut shoots become totem poles, and the curly stems of the fern become iron railings. It is an art of revelation — “new objectivities” of nature revealed through the camera.

Fringecup is an attractive ground cover herb commonly misidentified as alumroot when not flowering. This misidentification is so common that fringecup obtained the common name false alumroot. Despite the confusion, fringecups are easily discerned from alumroot by their deep, cup-shaped calyx and striking petals. The fragrant flowers grow on tall, slight stalks that emerge between April and June. The petals usually start out green or cream-colored, then darken to pink or red as they age. The flowers attract many pollinators including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Fringecups also attract pest-eating insects such as ladybugs and have been known to repel slugs.

How to Grow Epimediums Flower

Dependable in dry shade, the evergreen assortments of this plant make superb ground spread with their wiry fanning stems and heart-molded leaves. Trim clusters with shears in spring so developing blossoms can be seen over the foliage.

Cheerful to develop in unwelcoming spots, huge numbers of these plants are evergreen, and there's a colossal scope of shapes and sizes – from gleaming leaved asplenium to intense polystichum and the rich, dampness adoring Osmunda regalis.

Hydrangeas – Once settled, these bushes will give solid summer shading underneath trees or on the obscure side of a greenery enclosure. Intense and flexible, they arrive in an assortment of sizes and distinctive structures, including climbers.This valuable plant progresses admirably, even in dry shade. G. endressii and G. x oxonianum can be pretty thuggish and self-seed uninhibitedly, yet G. macrorrhizum, G. phaeum and G. versicolor make great ground-spread plants in full or halfway shade.

Clematis Spring-blooming C. montana and pre-winter sprouting C. viticella are great climbers for obscure spots. Like all clematis, they lean toward their foundations in shade and heads in sun, so plant them where they can scramble up a divider or through a tree or bush.

Helleborus Orientalis – Invaluable in winter and spring, these weathered leaved perennials are harder than their sensitive hanging heads may demonstrate. Plant on a bank or where you can turn upward into the blossoms. H. foetidus, the stinking hellebore, possibly smells on the off chance that you contact it and does well in exceptionally dry shade.

Persicaria virginiana 'Spear Corporal' – This enduring foliage plant has the right to be better known. Glad in incomplete or full shade, its splendid green leaves have striking dim chevron markings. It favors a dampness retentive soil however will develop in dry shade and self-seed on the off chance that you are fortunate.

Tellima Grandiflora – A semi-evergreen, tallish, ground-spread lasting that does all around planted around trees. It sends up towers of white or green-tinged chime formed blossoms above rosettes of leaves from May to July. Despite the fact that it lean towards a dampness retentive soil, it will do nearly also in dry shade.

Galium Odoratum – Sweet woodruff embraces the ground with whorls of foliage and starry white blossoms in spring and late-spring. It bites the dust back for a couple of months, re-rising in early fall. Incredible underneath hellebores, among plants or in dull corners, yet it very well may be wild.

Cyclamen Coum and Cyclamen Hederifolium – C. coum blossoms in pre-spring and late-winter and needs a sodden soil, while C. hederifolium is cheerful in dry shade and blossoms in August and September. Plant both where they won't be bothered and, when built up, they will spread underneath deciduous trees.
