Richard Rico: A bouquet for the Rose - TheReporter.Com

But then the playing field changed. During the first round, Councilman Mashburn nominated Vaca school board president Sherrie Mahlberg, and Mayor Rowlett nominated city services commissioner and KC-10 instructor Shawn MacMahon. Councilwoman Dilenna Harris nominated Beaty. But none of the three got the required three votes. Sullivan pulled off his surprise, and declined to nominate. Mayor Ron and Mashburn opposed the special election. So Mitch re-nominated Beaty. By 3-1, he won out. Sullivan got to vote no and the remaining applicants got a civics lesson. They’ll probably replay it and wonder what happened for years.* * *DON’T read anything into this, but a coincidence got my attention this week.It seems House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s family, my family and that of La Borgata Deli’s family have something in common: We all have roots in towns a few miles apart in the Italy region of Molise, south of Rome. They’re connected by ancient walls; what a concept. It doesn’t make us kissing cousins, but we may be paisani. Pelosi’s mother Annunciata D’Alesandro was born in the region’s largest town of Campobasso (pop. 50,000.) My family of Costanzo Rico came from the village of Roccamandolfi (pop. 640). They’re just 15 miles apart. A mile from Rocca is La Borgata’s village, Cantalupo, (pop. 764.) Actually, it’s as close as our Main Street, where Marianna Schiavone and mama Michelina Iuliano create deli del Molise.Maybe someday we can bend Pelosi’s ear when she stops by for a plate of gnocchi.Two, and she’ll reopen the government.The author is former publisher of The Reporter. https://www.thereporter.com/2019/01/13/richard-rico-a-bouquet-for-the-rose/

Growth in gardening: August birth flowers - San Marcos Daily Record

Gladiolus byzantinus, sometimes known as cornflags, mark many old home sites and cemetery plots in Texas and the south. Their magenta and rarely-white flower spikes are smaller than the hybrids usually available in florists and nurseries.Another interesting gladiolus is Gladiolus natalensis, sometimes known as the parrot gladiolus. Flowers of this species, which is native to Africa, are larger than those of G. byzantinus, and are a brilliant combination of yellowish green and red. Both of these gladioli may be grown as perennials, and usually increase in numbers each year. They are commercially available, however, only from specialty bulb sources.As for the poppy, these comparatively dainty blooms are also available in a wide variety of colors. Red poppies symbolize pleasure, white ones are sent to console the recipient, and yellow poppies send a message of success and wealth. If you don’t want to choose a particular color, you can always plan on having a bouquet by planting a wide range of poppies of many colors in your garden.There is evidence of poppy culture back as far as 5,000 B.C. in the Tigris and Euphrates river region in modern day Iraq. Egyptian tombs contain poppies and the ancient Greeks associated them with Demeter, the goddess of fertility and agriculture. They considered the presence of poppies around a field of grain crops a sign of the goddess’ blessing, which insured a good harvest.Poppies are best planted directly out in the garden as they are not fond of being transplanted. They germinate best at soil temperatures in the 50s or 60s so mid fall is generally a good time to plant them.Select a location with full sun although a little shade is okay as long as they get at least six hours of direct sun. Build up a raised planting bed if the area is not well drained. Most species won’t tolerate soggy soil conditions at all.There are several that I know do very well in our area, I like Breadseed (Papaver somniferum) as their foliage is a grayish blue green and plants reach a height of 2 to 3 feet tall bearing single or double blooms in colors ranging from deep red to pink and lavender.Another nice one is Flanders Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) it has bright red blooms with one or two rows of slightly crinkly petals that somewhat resemble crepe paper. Flanders Poppies were brought to the Georgetown, Texas, area by local resident Henry Compton as he returned from service in France during World War One. These Flanders poppies are still found throughout the area, making Georgetown “The Red Poppy Capital of Texas.”Yet another beauty is the Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule) which sports some of the brightest colors in our Texas gardens. The blooms are rather large single flowers in glowing shades of white, yellow, coral orange, pink or red. The plants are typically 1 to 2 feet tall depending on variety and growing conditions.If you know somebody who is celebrating their birthday during the month of August, it’s always a good idea to consider these flowers as a suitable and meaningful gift. Be sure to let the recipient know that these are special August birth month flowers as most folks don’t even know that birth-flowers exist.--Joe Urbach is the publisher of GardeningAustin.com and the Phytonutrient Blog.
