Ivydene Gardens Plants: Soil Type, Aspect and Moisture List				Fritillaria imperialis rubra maxima
The most important requirements for any plant is which pH in which Soil Type it prefers:- the required nutrients from the topsoil rather than the subsoil, air flow through the soil for the roots to breathe in the oxygen and for the roots to breathe out carbon dioxide - The carbon content stored in soil is eventually returned to the atmosphere through the process of respiration, which is carried out by heterotrophic organisms that feed upon the carbonaceous material in the soil. Since plant roots need oxygen, ventilation is an important characteristic of soil. This ventilation can be accomplished via networks of soil pores, which also absorb and hold rainwater making it readily available for plant uptake. Since plants require a nearly continuous supply of water, but most regions receive sporadic rainfall, the water-holding capacity of soils is vital for plant survival. so that the above is available for that plant in the following acidic or alkaline soils:- Acid Type for Lime-Free Soil, Acid Clay Soil, Acid Sand Soil or Acid Peaty Soil, Alkaline Type for Chalk Soil, Alkaline Clay Soil, Alkaline Sand Soil or Alkaline Peaty Soil, Any for both of Alkaline and Acid Soil Types. In chemistry, pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. Pure water has a pH of 7. This means that we can split garden soils into the following:- Plants for Any Soil , Plants for Chalky Soil , Plants for Clay Soil , Plants for Lime-Free Soils , Plants for Light Sandy Soil and Plants for Peaty Soil pages to see which soil or soils are in your garden. Then knowing your soil and its pH, you can select those plants with that combination from the relevant column in the row for each plant in the table on each of these soil pages:- Any Soil A-F Any Soil G-L Any Soil M-R Any Soil S-Z Chalky Soil A-F Chalky Soil G-L Chalky Soil M-R Chalky Soil S-Z Clay Soil A-F Clay Soil G-L Clay Soil M-R Clay Soil S-Z Lime-Free Soil A-F Lime-Free Soil G-L Lime-Free Soil M-R Lime-Free Soil S-Z Light Sandy Soil A-F Light Sandy Soil G-L Light Sandy Soil M-R Light Sandy Soil S-Z Peaty Soil A-F Peaty Soil G-L Peaty Soil M-R Peaty Soil S-Z Acid Soil column or Alkaline Soil column or Any Soil column with Dry column or Moist column or Wet Column and Full Sun column or Part Shade column or Dappled Shade column or Full Shade column. Then, sifting through the:- Tree/Shrub Growth Shape page for the growth shape of the tree or shrub and Shrub/Perennial Growth Habit page for the Growth habit of the Shrub, Bamboo, Soft Fruit, Sub-Shrub, Perennial, Fern, Herb, Grass, Alpine, Bulb, Tuber, Rhizome, or Climber. you can use , so that you now have a list of plants that are suitable for the soil, aspect, moisture and growth shape or growth habit that you require, before narrowing the choice further by seeing whether they are suitable for the:- Garden Use pages category, then Plant Use pages category, Foliage Colour in the Other Than Green Foliage Page of the Foliage Colour page category, or for Green foliage in the Plant Detail pages category and finally Flower Colour pages category requirements. The Plant Name Pages contain a link to photos in a plant description page in this website with availability from mail-order nursery in its comment row. These are some of the different border types due to different Sun Aspect (Full Sun, Half Shade, Full Shade) levels and Moisture (Dry, Moist, Wet) levels in the soil:- Desert Border Rock gardens and raised beds provide good drainage and make an ideal showcase for small plants and alpines in full sun. Damp Border Bog-garden plants like permanently moist soil. Some will even grow in very shallow water at the edge of a pond or stream. Shady Border Damp Shade occurs in a cool, humid woodland environment, where the soil is reliably moist all year. Dry Shade Dry Shade is where the combined problems of shade and drought are often found by walls, and beneath thirsty, shallow-rooting trees. Full Shade Full Shade occurs where permanently shaded positions may be beneath evergreen trees, by high walls, and between tall buildings. Use plants and structures in light colours to help brighten those areas. Sunny Border Sunny areas occur where there is no shade from structures or plants for most of the day. Dry Sun on Slopes /Banks Dry Sun is where situations prone to drought are in full sun. These include steeply sloping banks with rapid drainage, the base of a warm south- or west-facing wall; and shallow, sandy, or stony soils. .

Click on required comparison page and then centre of selected plant thumbnail. Further details on that plant will be shown in a separate Plant Description webpage.
Usually the Available from Mail Order Plant Nursery link will link you to the relevant page on that website.
I started this website in 2005 - it is possible that those particular links no longer connect, so you may need to search for that plant instead.

When I started, a click on the centre of the thumbnail ADDED the Plant Description Page, now I CHANGE the page instead. Mobile phones do not allow ADDING a page, whereas stand alone computers do. The User Guidelines Page shows which Plant Photo Galleries have been modified to CHANGE rather than ADD.

The following details come from Cactus Art:-

"A flower is the the complex sexual reproductive structure of Angiosperms, typically consisting of an axis bearing perianth parts, androecium (male) and gynoecium (female).

Bisexual flower show four distinctive parts arranged in rings inside each other which are technically modified leaves: Sepal, petal, stamen & pistil. This flower is referred to as complete (with all four parts) and perfect (with "male" stamens and "female" pistil). The ovary ripens into a fruit and the ovules inside develop into seeds.

Incomplete flowers are lacking one or more of the four main parts. Imperfect (unisexual) flowers contain a pistil or stamens, but not both. The colourful parts of a flower and its scent attract pollinators and guide them to the nectary, usually at the base of the flower tube.

partsofaflowersmallest

Androecium (male Parts or stamens)
It is made up of the filament and anther, it is the pollen producing part of the plant. Anther This is the part of the stamen that produces and contains pollen.  Filament This is the fine hair-like stalk that the anther sits on top of. Pollen This is the dust-like male reproductive cell of flowering plants.

Gynoecium (female Parts or carpels or pistil)  It is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. Each pistil is constructed of one to many rolled leaflike structures.
Stigma
This is the part of the pistil which receives the pollen grains and on which they germinate.  Style
This is the long stalk that the stigma sits on top of ovary.  Ovary
The part of the plant that contains the ovules.  Ovule
The part of the ovary that becomes the seeds.   Petal  The colorful, often bright part of the flower (corolla).  Sepal  The parts that look like little green leaves that cover the outside of a flower bud (calix).  (Undifferentiated "Perianth segment" that are not clearly differentiated into sepals and petals, take the names of tepals.)"

The following details come from Nectary Genomics:-

"NECTAR. Many flowering plants attract potential pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. The primary solutes found in most nectars are varying ratios of sucrose, glucose and fructose, which can range from as little a 8% (w/w) in some species to as high as 80% in others. This abundance of simple sugars has resulted in the general perception that nectar consists of little more than sugar-water; however, numerous studies indicate that it is actually a complex mixture of components. Additional compounds found in a variety of nectars include other sugars, all 20 standard amino acids, phenolics, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenes, vitamins, organic acids, oils, free fatty acids, metal ions and proteins.

NECTARIES. An organ known as the floral nectary is responsible for producing the complex mixture of compounds found in nectar. Nectaries can occur in different areas of flowers, and often take on diverse forms in different species, even to the point of being used for taxonomic purposes. Nectaries undergo remarkable morphological and metabolic changes during the course of floral development. For example, it is known that pre-secretory nectaries in a number of species accumulate large amounts of starch, which is followed by a rapid degradation of amyloplast granules just prior to anthesis and nectar secretion. These sugars presumably serve as a source of nectar carbohydrate.

WHY STUDY NECTAR? Nearly one-third of all worldwide crops are dependent on animals to achieve efficient pollination. In addition, U.S. pollinator-dependent crops have been estimated to have an annual value of up to $15 billion. Many crop species are largely self-incompatible (not self-fertile) and almost entirely on animal pollinators to achieve full fecundity; poor pollinator visitation has been reported to reduce yields of certain species by up to 50%."

The following details about DOUBLE FLOWERS comes from Wikipedia:-

"Double-flowered" describes varieties of flowers with extra petals, often containing flowers within flowers. The double-flowered trait is often noted alongside the scientific name with the abbreviation fl. pl. (flore pleno, a Latin ablative form meaning "with full flower"). The first abnormality to be documented in flowers, double flowers are popular varieties of many commercial flower types, including roses, camellias and carnations. In some double-flowered varieties all of the reproductive organs are converted to petals — as a result, they are sexually sterile and must be propagated through cuttings. Many double-flowered plants have little wildlife value as access to the nectaries is typically blocked by the mutation.

There is further photographic, diagramatic and text about Double Flowers from an education department - dept.ca.uky.edu - in the University of Kentucky in America.

"Meet the plant hunter obsessed with double-flowering blooms" - an article from The Telegraph.

7. when I do not have my own or ones from mail-order nursery photos , then from March 2016, if you want to start from the uppermost design levels through to your choice of cultivated and wildflower plants to change your Plant Selection Process then use the following galleries:-

Create and input all plants known by Amateur Gardening inserted into their Sanders' Encyclopaedia from their edition published in 1960 (originally published by them in 1895) into these
- Stage 1 - Garden Style Index Gallery,
  then
- Stage 2 - Infill Plants Index Gallery being the only gallery from these 7 with photos (from Wikimedia Commons) ,
  then
- Stage 3 - All Plants Index Gallery with each plant species in its own Plant Type Page followed by choice from Stage 4a, 4b, 4c and/or 4d REMEMBERING THE CONSTRAINTS ON THE SELECTION FROM THE CHOICES MADE IN STAGES 1 AND 2
- Stage 4a - 12 Bloom Colours per Month Index Gallery,
- Stage 4b - 12 Foliage Colours per Month Index Gallery with
- Stage 4c - Cultivation, Position, Use Index Gallery and
- Stage 4d - Shape, Form Index Gallery
- Unfortunately, if you want to have 100's of choices on selection of plants from 1000's of 1200 pixels wide by up to 16,300 pixels in length webpages, which you can jump to from almost any of the pages in these 7 galleries above, you have to put up with those links to those choices being on
  - the left topic menu table,
  - the header of the middle data table and on
  - the page/index menu table on the right of every page of those galleries.

It is worth remembering that especially with roses that the colour of the petals of the flower may change - The following photos are of Rosa 'Lincolnshire Poacher' which I took on the same day in R.V. Roger's Nursery Field:-

There are 720 roses in the Rose Galleries; many of which have the above series of pictures in their respective Rose Description Page.

So one might avoid the disappointment that the 2 elephants had when their trunks were entwined instead of them each carrying their trunk using their own trunk, and your disappointment of buying a rose to discover that the colour you bought it for is only the case when it has its juvenile flowers; if you look at all the photos of the roses in the respective Rose Description Page!!!!
