Grandpa wants to end five-year debate: Is it a flower or a weed? - Belleville News-Democrat

This year, it grew over 3 feet high and has lots of buds, which turned purple. If it is not a flower (tame or wild) and is a weed, as my grandson says, could you please identify it? A. B. of BellevilleA: Your plant is considered a weed, and your grandson is correct. The plant is commonly called burdock (Arctium minus). This plant starts the first year as a flat plant with the leaves somewhat hugging the soil and then the second year grows upward and forms flowers. It got taller this year, as we experienced more rain. The flowers are small, red-violet disk flowers, surrounded by numerous hooks, which later form a burr. There is a taller species of burdock that is larger in all respects, great burdock (Arctium lappa).Q: My neighbor and I just noticed yesterday morning that our bannisters and our plants are covered with some kind of clear, sticky substance. In some cases, it seems to be leaving black, greasy marks on my iris, and I think it is affecting my daylily leaves. We live in an old neighborhood and have large sycamore and tulip trees on our properties. What is causing this to happen this year? We’ve been living next to each other for a long time, and we’ve not noticed this before. Is it harmful? It seems to be affecting more than just the surface of my daylily leaves. My maple tree seems to have tiny, pink bugs on it — ... http://www.bnd.com/living/magazine/article156308839.html

Keirstead's Flower Shop Still Has Strong Saint John Roots - Huddle - Huddle Today

Covid-19.“Our flowers come from all over the world,” said florist Connie Dean. “We get flowers from Holland, Ecuador, our roses come from Ontario. A lot come through Ontario and they get them from different places all over the world as well.”Australia, Africa and Lebanon are a few other places where the shop gets its flowers, with Birds of Paradise and Protea flowers being some of the most popular selections.“Ontario does have locally grown flowers so those are the closest local flowers we get,” said Dean. “Sometimes there’s someone on the Kingston Peninsula or Hampton that’ll bring in garden flowers that we can buy.”A piece of family history (Image: Elizabeth MacLeod)The business was founded by the late Guy G. Keirstead whose passion for flowers led him to first rent a stall at the City Market in 1925.Keirstead’s operated out of the market from 1925 to 1946, until he purchased property on the corner of Charlotte and Princess Street where the shop still operates to this day.Dean said the building survived the Great Saint John Fire of 1877 and used to be a hardware and butcher shop, which were combined to make Keirstead’s.“You have some of the old coolers that we still have from back when they opened up this shop in the 40... https://huddle.today/keirsteads-flower-shop-still-has-strong-saint-john-roots/

Flower growers see sales wither as planting season launches - CBC.ca

Demand for non-perishable items pushed decorative plants out of the supply chain in last month's stockpiling frenzy, while the ongoing shutdown of garden centres in jurisdictions including Ontario and New York has cut off critical points of sale, threatening to leave growers high and dry. "This is when we sell. We're on the cusp of a critical period," said James Farrar, director of the Canadian Ornamental Horticulture Alliance. Trees, bushes and bedding plants are usually planted between May 1 and June 15, he said, with customers ranging from backyard gardeners to municipalities. In Ontario, flower producers discarded about 40 per cent of their Easter crop, according to Flowers Canada Growers. The province has designated garden centres as a non-essential service — a painful exclusion for the industry, since nearly two-thirds of Canadian production stems from Ontario. Neighbouring New York and Ohio have also forced garden centres to lock their doors, while Michigan and Vermont have banned retailers from selling non-essential products, including home gardening items. "If they don't open, the damage is going to be astronomical," said trade group head Andi Kuyvenhoven, noting garden centres' crucial role for bedding plants in particular. British Columbia — the second-biggest flower and plant producer — Alberta and Manitoba and have allowed garden centres to keep running, while Quebec deemed them essential along with nurseries as of April 15, though not in time for Easter. Kuyvenhoven, who with his wife co-owns a $2.5-million business selling potted Chrysanthemums and indoor calla lilies — largely to U.S. distributors — on a pair of farms west of Toronto, says clogged supply chains south of the border remain a problem. 'I haven't slept in five weeks' "U.S. customers for a time closed their distribution systems to floral and so the main grocery chains were not purchasing plants," he said, which was hard on growers of cut flowers such as roses and tulips. "If a truck can take 24 skids and four skids were flowers, the flowers came off the trucks and they put more food on the truck — which we completely understand. The only challenge is, when you're growing flowers as we do, they also have a shelf life," said Kuyvenhoven, who bought his bu... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/flower-growers-hamilton-1.5546023
