Whats the name of this wild flower?
The prominent stamens with four petals %26amp; opposite leaves with smooth edges make me think you have found a shrub dogwood. There are ~ 6 species but the one with reddish stems is the red osier (Cornus stolonifera or C. sericea).

What type of tree has small pink fuzzy flowers in spring with fern like leaves and bean pods in late summer?

These trees grow wild in East Tennessee and the flowers smell like peaches. If you could help me with this question I would be very thankfull!

This is a mimosa, the "powder puff" tree.
Reply:These fragrant, beautiful trees are Mimosa and they can be a big problem when the seeds fall. They come up everywhere and are hard to pull up after rooting. If I could sell the pods or seeds, I would be very rich. Keep them under control and enjoy.
Reply:I believe it is mimosa tree or Albizia julibrissin.





Checkout the resource site below to see if the photo is correct. Should be the 4th tree down the list.
Reply:It sounds like a mimosa tree. We had a few even as far north as PA. Here is a good link for them, take a look, and you should be able to confirm if it the same as what you are thinking of:

Flowers for a rock wall?

I have a small rock wall in my back yard and would like to put some wild looking flowers in and around it. Any ideas? I don't know much about flower names etc.

Flowers for a rock wall?
Wild climbing roses are lovely on a rock wall and do well if in the sunlight most of the day.
Reply:Several species to think about . . .





Sedum sp. several low growers


Lysmachia repens


"creeping phlox"


Dianthus 'Firewitch' and several other cultivars


Alot of herbs like that type of environment-mints especially





Look for plants that do well in hot, rocky soil, and are tough once-established, and, oh yeah . . . stay short-as to creep through the openings in the stone wall.





Rick ~30 yrs in profession
Reply:"Flocks", they spread well and will crawl in and out of crevices in the rock wall and will thrive in just about any soil ... I have seen them in white, pink, fuchsia
Reply:orchids!
Reply:moss
Reply:creeping flocks are good because they dont have a lot of roots and can cover a large area over time they spread over time, also good ones that need very little soil are chicken and hens they kind of look like a low cactus... good luck on your rock garden they are my favorite!


How to plant wild flower seeds???

Do I need special soil or just dig a hole and put the seeds????????????????

How to plant wild flower seeds???
If the seeds were purchased from a local store, or you collected them in a nearby area, you should be able to grow them. There are of course a few exceptions, but generally you should be able to grow them. For most wildflowers the seeds aren't really put into a hole, but rather spread on the soil and then covered with a thin layed of soil, about a 1/4 inch at most. A good rule of thumb for planting most seeds is to plant it twice as deep as the seed . So if you have a pea seed that is 1/4 inch, you would plant it about 1/2 inch deep. So the smaller the seed, the shallower it should be planted. Since most wildflower seeds are small, they should just be scattered on the soil, or covered with a very thin layer of soil.
Reply:it is always a good idea to get some topsoil and mix it with your current soil, it wouldn't hurt to get potting soil that has fertilzer and plant food. for wild flowers you don't need to dig holes for the seeds. Just rake lines in the soil spread your seed then cover with very little potting soil. water everyday twice if it's super hot in your area.
Reply:I have a neighbor that puts the wild flower seeds in ice cube trays fills with water and then freezes. In the spring she scars or barely roughs the area that shes going to plant in then throws the ice cubes with the wild flower seeds in them around the area. She always has a wonderful stand of bluebonnets, Indian paint brush, corn flowers, poppies, etc. After they bloom and start to die back she gathers the seeds and starts the process all over again.
Reply:I always prepare the ground by removing the weeds (that is unless you think the weeds are beautiful and will enhance the area.) Rake or till the soil if removing the weeds, I also like to add some fresh compost to the ground as I am doing this. Then I take my seeds and just broadcast them over the area. I always use more seed than the area/size the package calls for just because of the fact that some are not going to make it and I love the filled in look. After they are broadcasted over the area heavily I take some more fine compost mixed with soil and just sprinkle it over the area lightly. If you are doing a fairly large area sprinkle some seed then cover with soil and move on. You do not want to cover the seeds to thick with the soil I would say a 1/2 inch at the most. After you are done I like to water with a mixture of miracle grow and water really well and then keep the area watered really well after that. It seems to me like it may be too late in the season to be planting wild flowers. You may want to look up what kind of flowers you are planting and the zone you are in and see when you should be planting them. Happy growing
Reply:What kind of wildflowers? Where do you live? What kind of soil do you have? How much sun does your yard get? What is growing there now? We really need more info.





It is rather late in the year to be starting seeds unless you live in an area that has warm weather for at least another 6 months. However, as a start: If you have bought a pack of seed simply labelled "Wildflower Mix", you may be disappointed. Those packs usually contain a mix of annuals and perennials, mostly garden plants not native plants. The annuals will flower this year and may set seed for next year. The perennials may not flower for two or three years. If there are any native seeds, they may not germinate at all as native seeds usually need special treatment before germination.





You should prepare the planting bed as you would prepare any garden: remove weeds and grass, till in some compost, rake smooth and plant. Expect weed seeds to find your nice bed and grow; it will be a challenge to tell the weed seedlings from the "wildflower" seedlings. Alternatively, you could plant the seeds in a seedling tray as you would start any seeds, grow them up and then transplant to your garden bed.





If you are trying to start a large meadow, there are different instructions and it will be a three year project. Click the link below for more info.

How can I kill the wild onions in my flower beds?

I put the black weed blocking material down thouroghly and then mulched deeply. I keep spraying these things with Round-up and it doesnt even bother them. How can they grow through the wedd material? I was sure to cover all holes before mulching. Any Ideas? I cant pull them up or dig them up or I will tear the material.

How can I kill the wild onions in my flower beds?
To really be free of them, you will need to remove them. By digging them up. They are tough little buggers, and pulling them won't work. You've got to remove that knob in the roots.





Remove your landscaping cloth. Dig them out with a shovel, getting a genrous amount of dirt with them to make sure you get the roots. Then take them by the strappy leaves, and bash the root ball against the back of the shovel (very satisfying since they're been your nemesis for so long), letting the extra soil go back in the garden. Put the weeds in the trash.





Replace the landscape fabric, and congratulate yourself on a difficult battle, well fought, and victorious.
Reply:Sorry to say, but digging them up is the only way I've ever had any luck at getting rid of onions. Like you said, Round Up doesn't seem to do much at all to them.





That weed cloth, as I've learned, won't actually stop a lot of things from growing through it. I've ripped out all the weed cloth I put in just because of that and just went with a little thicker layer of mulch. That way I can just move the mulch to dig out the rare stuff that grows through.





The only thing I've every found that actually stops stuff from growing is thick sheeting like pond liner, or big rocks. The problem with that is that you can't cover any roots of bushes or trees with it because water won't go through it either.





I guess you could put a three or four inch layer of gravel on top of the weed cloth, that would probably stop the onions from getting through. It would be a nightmare later on though if you ever decided to take it out. Not something I would do, personnaly.


Does the wild edelweiss flower that grows high in the Swiss Alps have thorns?

I am not refering to the garden variety edelweiss or the American version of the edelweiss plant. I am specifically refering to the wild edelweiss that grows only in some parts of the Swiss Alps at an altitude of 2,000 to 2,900. The Genus and Species name is: Leontopodium alpinum. I would like to know if this plant has thorns on the stem. I don't think you can really answer this question unless you have actually been to the Swiss alps and have seen an actual flower. I spoke to several Swiss residents and most said they have never seen one in their lifetime. By thorns I do not necessarily mean thorns as in rose thorns. I was told by some Swiss people that you can get pricked if you try to touch them. They diddn't know the English word for "thorns" and I would just like to know more about this really famous and beautiful flower. I don't think they were refering to it being illegal to pick the flower because we discussed that separately. I believe they were refering to actual thorns.

Does the wild edelweiss flower that grows high in the Swiss Alps have thorns?
My mom has one of these blossoms preserved in a glass pendant -- it had been plucked from the Alps and given to her as a gift when she was younger (my family is from Germany originally). While it is "furry", I see no indication of thorns, and she has never mentioned any to me (she also picked them herself when younger -- she is 87 now). But in doing some on-line research to substantiate this, I found THIS disturbing tidbit of information:





"The latest research, however, initially in a book dating from 1910, but ony recently recovered, indicates that Edelweiss, the flower, was actually imported from Asia sometime within the past centuries. What a travisty of justice for virually the national symbol of Austria and the Alps!"





http://www.valentine.gr/linkOfTheMonth-j...





Amazing!
Reply:No. I have seen one in Austria and not just on a coin ;)
Reply:it is not at all pricky, it is in fact fluffy, soft.





it can however be mistaken for some species of thistle (Cirsium) when it doesnt have flowers. these are thorny. this can be my guessxplanation for the confusion





the plant is not much common/widespread, therefore if you go to the mountains for a trip, you probably won t see one. but they are grown in gardens commonly, either obtained from nurseries or pillaged from the wild.





no difference between the cultivated and wild plants

Does anyone know what these flowers are?????
My friend the master gardener say that is Jewel Weed also called Touch Me Not. It is a wild herb that is wonderful for treating poison ivy. Be careful though, it usually grows near poison ivy. Convenient huh the plant that hurts you is near the plant to cure it. You steep the leaves, like for tea, and then put the tea on the poison ivy. You can also squeeze the juice from the stems and put it on the poison ivy. It works better than anything sold in the store.
Reply:I've had them in my back yard I'm pretty sure they are weeds. Best to tell is not to water it, weeds will survive and as we know flowers won't

Without pollinators, such as wind, bees and birds, would flowering wild & garden plants simply not flower?

There are many pollinators - plants must have pollination to reproduce - otherwise flowers will not set fruit and thus seed.





If all the pollinators were wiped off the face of the Earth in a very fast doomsday scenario (too much toxic sprays?) man would be in dire straits too as our food supplies rely on pollinators.





But according to Darwinian theory, plants might (given enough time) evolve other strategies for pollination - I'm doubtful but I guess we must recognise that all current natural world status is the result of evolved strategies - I am hoping MAN lacks the power to destroy his world - he may destroy himself but let's hope the world can survive his ignorance?!

Without pollinators, such as wind, bees and birds, would flowering wild %26amp; garden plants simply not flower?
They flower like usual but wouldn't produce seeds or fruit.


If you want apples or cherries you'd not get any.


Will blubells and wild garlic be flowering still in two weeks?

They are flowering in the woods near by now, will they still be in flower in two-three weeks?

Will blubells and wild garlic be flowering still in two weeks?
Bluebells emerge when there is almost no shade from the bare tree canopy, if this exists. They are thus able to take full advantage of the lengthening Spring days. They grow to full size and produce their flowers in a short time. When the tree canopy comes into leaf and shades the bluebells, they remain for a while. The energy stored in the above ground parts will then be transfered to the bulb, and both the leafy and flower parts will wither. Expect them to last a little bit longer if in the open.





The period of flowering will depend on location, local climate, aspect relative to the sun, etc.
Reply:Mine are almost finished - worcestershire - so I would say no.
Reply:Still be flowering in 3 months.

Clover, orange blossom, or wild flower honey...what's the difference?

I know it's the flower that the bee pollinates...but is there any taste difference? honey is honey, no?


Just curious. Been drinking a lot of tea w/ honey lately and noticed these 3 honeys in the supermarket. Tried the wildflower and noticed no difference.

Clover, orange blossom, or wild flower honey...what's the difference?
There's a big difference. Try comparing clover honey, which is quite mild, with mesquite or buckwheat, which have stronger flavors. Tea masks the differences so, if this is the only way you use honey, you may as well go for the cheapest (clover). If you ever brew mead, the differences become significant and it may pay to spend more to get the darker and more flavorful honeys.
Reply:The difference is in the flavor. Try adding honey to cereal (with milk) and you will notice the differnce.

It's a rafflesia. It appears when your town has too many weeds. Pull up all the weeds and it will change to a greyish colour the next day and the day after this it will disappear. It is useful if you want to catch a fly as flies are found by rafflesia. Hackers can plant these but as long as you are not overrun with weeds they eventually disappear.

Since "wild" haggis are rarely to be seen around built-up areas, it is highly unlikely that the species you suspect is actually of the untamed variety. Check with any local zoo or pet store in your area and see if any of their haggii are missing or, alternatively, ask at your local police station whether or not someone's Christmas somehow got loose and is running around the neighbourhood.

Reply:Centennial Star Magnolia maybe? Also known as Magnolia Stellata.

Best flowers to plant for birds?

i want to plant wild flowers in my garden but i am no alan titmarsh. i want to intice insects and wild birds in to my patch

Best flowers to plant for birds?
Hello toggs, good for you! Watching the birds and insects go about their business is great fun. For the birds i would suggest some, or all of the following -





Sunflowers, Teasel, Pampas Grass (they also use it to line their nests), Stipa gigantea, strawberries and other soft fruits. Having a patch of grass is good as blackbirds love searching for worms. And in the middle of it all put a wee bird table with various treats. For the insects i would suggest -





Echinops, Buddleja, Evening primrose, Sweet cicely, Phlox, Foxgloves, Various grasses and anything with single scented flowers. A neat pile of logs that are left to their own devices will attract lots of wildlife, and an old plastic kitchen basin sunk into the ground and filled with rain-water will attract toads and frogs and if you're lucky, Newts. I could go on for ages here! Good luck and have fun, x
Reply:plant lots of brightly coloured flowers. Insects will definitely be attracted to bright/fragrant flowers, ditto for birds.


good luck! Report It

Reply:When it comes to insects, always choose single rather than double flowered varieties. Bright colours attract many insects, scents attract others, night scented types attract moths.


For birds, plant fruit bearing shrubs; redcurrants will bring hordes of birds.


For butterflies, you can't beat buddliea.
Reply:Honeysuckle Tree (Mini) not only do the hummingbirds love it but it produces little red cherries that the birds eat. Cotton Easter is another good one, in the fall it also produces little fruit that birds will eat. Sunflowers, bleeding hearts, purple cone flowers, black eyed susans, daisy. I have quite a few mini trees that birds like, Weeping Pussy Willow, Fruit producing Mulberry. I hope this helps a bit. There are many, many that attract birds and insects. Have fun!
Reply:Try this website, its really useful for all year round garden tips so that you can get started soon rather than waiting till spring

Birds need nesting spaces, shelter, food such as berries and seeds as well as insects.





Insects may be attracted to brightly coloured flowers and also require a homes to stems and grasses can provide this as well as cracks in wood, paving, rocks and rotting wood piles.





With a combination of these natural ideas and bird feeders, you should have a flourishing garden soon
Reply:There are all kinds of good books out there now for this very thing. I work in a native flower greenhouse and we do this sort of thing all the time. First you need to know what type of soil you have...is it dry...wet or medium(mesic). Next do you have alot of shade or is it all sun or a mix. Here is a list of plants : Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamont) sunny....mesic/dry Petalostemum purpureum (purple prairie clover) sunny--dry


Aquilegia canadensis (columbine) part shade.....mesic


Blazing stars....(there are many different varieties for different areas)


Asclepias Tuberosa(butterfly weed)...sunny...dry...sand


Asclepias Incarnata (red milkweed)...sunny/part shade...wet..mesic


Bouteloua curtipendula(side oats gramma) sunny...dry


Schizachryum scoparium(little bluestem) sunny....dry


Viburnum triloba (american cranberry) part sun/shade...mesic soil...birds love the berries


Sambucus canadensis(elderberry)......part sun/shade...mesic soil birds love the berries


Agastache foeniculum(anise hyssop) sun/part shade.....dry to mesic


Penstemons....different ones but birds and insects love them


Zizia's....there is one for wet areas and one for dry ...insects love them


Rudbeckia Submentosa(sweet black-eyed susan) sun....dry


There are tons more but this is a simple list to get you started.....


Hope it helps....

What do you need saffron for? They don't use that in pasties!!
Reply:No...some types of crocuses are toxic. Saffron comes from a specific crocus, the "Crocus Sativus Linneaus" and the flower is more of a purplish fushia colour.

“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower ” - What does this sentence mean?

Could you explain this sentence?

“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower ” - What does this sentence mean?
You quoted only part of the sentence. Here's the whole thing. It's the first stanza of the poem "Auguries of Innocence" by the mystical poet William Blake (1757 - 1827):





To see a world in a grain of sand


And a heaven in a wild flower,


Hold infinity in the palm of your hand


And eternity in an hour.





Blake is expressing a mystical belief that the microcosm (the small scale) symbolizes the macrocosm (the large scale) and that it's possible to experience the macrocosm by contemplation of the microcosm.





In other words, when you view a grain of sand correctly, you really see the whole world in a kind of mystical vision. When you view a wild flower with your whole being, with all your senses, you really do see heaven.





From this perspective, the palm of your hand is as large as infinity and an hour is as long as eternity.
Reply:You can do something big with something that may seem insignificant. Men have changed the world with simple ideas.

Whay are the names of wild yellow flowered plants growing in the fields and mountains of northern england ??
The yellow flowers could be eranthis hyemalis, dandelion or aconites. The trees are probably cherries, apples or plums. If the flower looks like it could be cultivated in the fields then it is probably Rape - from which rape seed oil is made :-)
Reply:not sure about the yellow flowers but the pink frothy blossom trees are flowering cherries(fruits not edible though), some of the darker ones are flowering plums,again grew for their ornamental use only
Reply:Yellow flowers are probably gorse.





The flowering cherry is sure to be Prunus Kanzan which was very fashionable 25 years ago asit was a strong grower.





Hope this helps
Reply:The flowers are dandelions and the blossom could be cherry or apple.

Can I put Wild Flower seeds in the Freezer as I do grass seed to help them germinate faster?

Do not put them in the freezer!!!





If you want to cold stratify them, do it in the fridge. Prolonged freezing can kill them.





As for cold stratification in general, it depends on the type of wildflower. If they come from areas with cold winters, then yes it will help. If they come from warm areas, then it could kill them.





and if you do cold stratify them, wet them first for bestresults - soak them for 12-24 hours in warm water and then place between a wet paper towel or in some spagnum moss and place in the fridge - if you have cinnamon, mix that in too as it will prevent mold or fungus from killing the seeds

Can I put Wild Flower seeds in the Freezer as I do grass seed to help them germinate faster?
You are smart, smelly!
Reply:No, u should use the fridge not the freezer for ur regular seeds! Just put em in a side tray or the chiller compartment! When ur ready to plant the seeds, soak em for at least 12 hours depending on the size of the seed.... no more then 24 hours though!
Reply:yes , and then grow on

Have you ever found any odd wild flowers on your yard or where you live? And where do you live?

I live in Ontario, Canada, Zone 5. There are tons of different kinds of wildflowers around here, I don't even know all the names of them. This spring, I found the weirdest flower up in my hill. It was near some moss, it was an orchid, called a Lady's Slipper. It was so weird looking, and nobody even planted it there. So weird. What about you?

POLL:Cut flowers or wild flowers....?

Which do you prefer...?





my neighbour gave me some nice ones as a thankyou but they don't seem as pretty as some I picked myself recently.

POLL:Cut flowers or wild flowers....?
I just like to see flowers growing ... and is anything more beautiful than a wild flower meadow? The variety and seeming fragility of the flowers to be found there is amazing. What is also wonderful about wild flowers is that they often grow in the most unlikely places - industrial estates, slag heaps, etc. Cut flowers, grown commercially, look almost brash in comparison, any scent having been sacrificed in the process of attaining new colour variations. I think I'd rather be given some seeds so that I can look forward to seeing something growing, rather than be given a bouquet of cut flowers and watch them dying.
