Weird botany and horticulture. Friday, February 27, 2015. Protea and its Cousins. Protea cynaroides in flower at the UConn greenhouses, late winter. The national flower of South Africa, has some of the showiest inflorescences in the genus, easily a foot across from powdery pink bract tip to bract tip. Is one of the few species where mature plants can live through fires; they regenerate from buds on a swollen stem at the base of the plant. A characteristic of Protea. The family Proteaceae includes about 7...

http://www.indoorgarden-er.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
An apartment dweller's attempt. At homesteading in the city. Archive for August 2012. Through the years writing The Indoor Garden(er), I've been involved in a ton of various projects, both on my own and with others. Introducing and expanding greening efforts to Capital Pride, co-founding DC State Fair, starting new blogs, losing 100 pounds (and then silently gaining a not insignificant portion of it back after international travels and job-seeking strain)- it's been an adventure and a half! A website dev...

Burger's Onion: July 2014
http://burgersonion.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Weird botany and horticulture. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Is known for producing some of the largest, stinkiest inflorescences in the botanical world, so A. ongsakulii. Comes as something of a surprise when it sends up a thumb-sized spathe and spadix, from a plant with leaves just a few inches tall. The flowers have faint spicy sweet smell.

Burger's Onion: March 2015
http://burgersonion.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Weird botany and horticulture. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Crocus cultivars blooming in a warm spot; most spring bulbs are still under the snow pack. The weather is slowly warming up, though spring flowers are probably still a good three weeks to a month behind schedule. The bees have been out and about on quite a few sunny afternoons lately, but they're not finding much of anything to eat beyond the Domino. Nectar flow, as it were. The overall colony survival rate still looks like about 70%. After a warm D...

http://burgersonion.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Weird botany and horticulture. Monday, October 14, 2013. Bhut Jolokia' or Ghost Pepper was long considered the hottest pepper in the world. Frost has been late to arrive this fall, but the hot pepper season out in the garden is not going to last much longer. This year I experimented with growing some of the very hottest Capsicum. Cultivars, and using them very cautiously to spice up sauces, stir-fries and burritos. Bhut Jolokia' is a hybrid of Capsicum chinense. Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend'. National ...
