Gardening: Autumn planters 101

Irish yews (Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata’), columnar Japanese holly for partial shade and conifers that include the chartreuse Chamaecyparis ‘Wilma Goldcrest’ (also lemon scented), or dwarf forms of Lawson cypress for sunnier locations.Taller evergreen grasses which also work include many sedges, such as the pumpkin orange Carex testacea and reddish-bronze beauty of Carex buchananii.Once you’ve chosen the centrepiece, you’re ready for the fillers, which is not to say that these plants can’t dazzle the eye.The most obvious choice here is the evergreen perennial Heuchera, which forms a bright dome of foliage in a myriad of colours.A few of my favourites include ‘Blackcurrant’ (purple with silver highlights), ‘Georgia Peach’ (peach to rosy purple), ‘Lime Rickey’ (ruffled chartreuse foliage) and ‘Crème Brulee’ (peachy-bronze).If you need a little more height, then consider Euphorbias, many of which will take on red highlights during the colder weather.I find that the variegated forms seem to be the most popular with ‘Ascot Rainbow’ (green, gold and red), ‘Glacier Blue’ (frosty blue with cream margins) and ‘Tasmanian Tiger’ (greyish-green with cream margins) being readily available in smaller pots at this time of year.Trailers are also an important component of the autumn display and we have many choices, some of which will only cusp the edge while others will tumble heavily.Carex ‘Evergold’ is nice for whisping over the edge with its clean gold and green foliage. There are also a lot of Ajugas available but my preference is ‘Black Scallop’ with its inky leaves that have a pearly sheen. Lysimachia ‘Goldilocks’ or golden creeping jenny cascades heavily with its bright chartreuse foliage, while either the large or small-leaved forms of wire... https://www.mapleridgenews.com/community/gardening-autumn-planters-101/

Maharanis College wants florists on Valmiki Road evicted

The florists pointed out that they had voluntarily shut their shops for the counting of votes for the assembly and council elections held at the college. Former Chamaraja MLA had attempted to make alternative arrangements for the florists, trying to house them in scrap railway boogies. Unfortunately, he was not successful in his endeavor. “I had observed florists setting up shops in scrap train boogies in the US, but I could not implement the same model here since I lost the election. However, the college authorities cannot force the florists to vacate, since they have set up shop on the pavement, which is maintained by the MCC,” Vasu said. Meanwhile, MCC commissioner KH Jagadish told TOI that they were yet to identify alternative places for the florists. “We will soon find an ideal place for them to set up their shops,” he extra.

GREEN THUMBS UP: Superb woody plants for year-round appeal - Wicked Local

Spruces, pines, hemlocks, and arborvitae all present commanding, distinctive forms. Yews, junipers, false cypress (Chamaecyparis), and other conifers are available in a wealth of sizes, forms, textures, and color variations including blue, yellow, rust, and innumerable shades of green. The smooth, shiny foliages of broad-leafed evergreens offer fabulous visual contrasts to these needled evergreens: rhododendron, andromeda, mountain laurel, holly, boxwood, and leucothoe all contribute welcome color in all seasons. Each year, new cultivars are introduced with a growing number of dwarf conifers being developed, ideal for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, and containers due to their slower rate of growth.Shrubs that exhibit colored twigs during the winter months are great additions to our borders, and are particularly effective against a backdrop of evergreens or when landscapes are snow-covered. Leading the way are the extremely hardy red- and yellow-twigged dogwoods (Cornus sericea). These suckering shrubs can be mass-planted to help hold soils on banks and are tolerant of partial shade and moist conditions. New varieties include ‘Arctic Sun’ that produces yellow stems with red tips and yellow-orange fall foliage and ‘Arctic Fire’ that displays stunning red stems. Variegated cultivars, such as the red-twigged ‘Ivory Halo’ and ‘Silver and Gold’ with yellow twigs, are particularly effective in all seasons. Hard springtime pruning of older stems will encourage new growth with brighter color.While so many gardeners crave the mophead hydrangeas with their stunning blooms of blue or pink, I prefer the hardier native oakleaf hydrangea (H. quercifolia) which displays large white conical blossoms in late July that transition to a pleasing shade of rose-pink. This somewhat coarse but appealing shrub exhibits distinctive large-lobed leaves that are fuzzy as they emerge in the spring and change to a rich lustrous bronze in autumn. New stem growth is a soft, peachy tan while older suckering twigs exfoliate and resemble cinnamon sticks, providing textural interest during the winter months.Page 2 of 2 - A personal favorite is a native shrub known as Ninebark (Physocarpus). This close relative of Spirea produces similar white to pale pink button-like blooms during June against a backdrop of appealing small maple-like leaves. ... http://cohasset.wickedlocal.com/article/20160122/NEWS/160128078

Jay Myers, florist with ‘charisma,’ dies at 55 - Albuquerque Journal

Myers helped contribute to the community outside of his store, Ausbun said, giving financial contributions to the Rio Rancho High School Rams and to young women aspiring to run for the Miss New Mexico pageant.Myers also contributed time playing music in three churches around the city, Ausbun said, even though he wasn’t in their congregations.“He was just one of the kindest people you’ve ever met,” she said. “He had this charisma and this light that was infectious to everybody. He loved delivering flowers and that he made the world a better place, one flower delivery at a time.” ... https://www.abqjournal.com/838745/jay-myers-florist-with-charisma-dies-at-55.html

Washington court rules against florist in gay wedding case - Albuquerque Journal

U.S. Supreme Court, according to Lambda Legal. In 2014, the court declined to hear an appeal of a case out of New Mexico that went against a photographer who denied a same-sex couple service.Gov. Jay Inslee lauded Thursday’s ruling, saying it was “in favor of equality for all Washingtonians.”“By ruling that intolerance based on sexual orientation is unlawful, the Court affirmed that Washington state will remain a place where no one can be discriminated against because of who they love,” Inslee said in a written statement.Stutzman had previously sold the couple flowers and knew they were gay. However, Stutzman told them that she couldn’t provide flowers for their wedding because same-sex marriage was incompatible with her Christian beliefs.Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and the couple sued her, saying she broke state anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws, and the lower court agreed. The state’s nine high court justices upheld that verdict.The court rejected several arguments put forth by Stutzman, including the assertion that since other florists were willing to serve the couple, no harm occurred.“As every other court to address the question has concluded, public accommodations laws do not simply guarantee access to goods or services. Instead, they serve a broader societal purpose: eradicating barriers to the equal treatment of all citizens in the commercial marketplace,” the court wrote. “Were we to carve out a patchwork of exceptions for ostensibly justified discrimination, that purpose would be fatally undermined.”The case thrust the great-grandmother into the national spotlight and she testified before state lawmakers in Indiana and Kansas.Michael Scott, a Seattle attorney who worked with the American Civil Liberties Union to represent Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed — the couple denied the flowers — had previously told justices he didn’t believe Stutzman’s floral creations constituted speech. By providing flowers for a same-sex marriage, he argued, “she’s not endorsing same-sex marriage. She’s selling what she sells.”Ferguson had said the state’s argument rested on longstanding principle, and uprooting it would weaken antidiscrimination law.After the arguments in the Supreme Court case last November, at a packed theater at Bellevue College, a large crowd of Stutzman’s supporters greeted her outside, chanting her name and waving signs that said “Justice For Barronelle.”In a February 2015 ruling, Benton County Superior Court Judge Alexander Ekstrom found that Stutzman’s refusal to provide flowers because of sexual orientation violated Washington’s anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws. The following month, Ekstrom ordered Stutzman to pay a $1,000 penalty to the state and $1 in co... https://www.abqjournal.com/951260/washington-court-rules-against-florist-in-gay-wedding-case.html

El Paso, New Mexico florists create tribute to Walmart mass shooting victims - El Paso Times
