America ❤️ Lawns! (but why?) – by Annette Laing

America ❤️ Lawns! (but why?) via Non-Boring History by Annette Laing [Shared]

The History of Lawns? Seriously?
Yes, indeedy. That’s not just a patch of grass in front of your house. It’s your time, your money, your stress level, your health, and so much more. And it has a history that may blow your mind. It did mine. It’s the Great American Front Lawn.

Virginia Scott Jenkins’s The Lawn: A History of an American Obsession, is the best (and—shocked, I am— only) book on the history of American lawns. It is so, so much more interesting than that sounds, or it wouldn’t belong in Non-Boring History, would it, now? Look, just trust me on this one. Even though “lawn” rhymes with “yawn”.

Vintage Botanical Print - 80 in a series - Solanum campanulatum from The floral cabinet and magazine of exotic botany (1837)

Click for larger image

 

This very distinct and showy species of Solanum, with a bell-shaped corolla (an unusual form for a Solanum), will doubtless form an interesting addition to those at present in cultivation. It grows about 2^ feet high (such at least was the height of the plant from which our drawing was taken), and is covered on all sides with sharp setaceous prickles, the greater portion of which are confined to the stem and the calyx. We are doubtful whether this plant be the same which Dr. Brown has described in his Prodromus, and on that account we have not altered the specific name ” campanulatum;”” we should however rather expect it to be different, as he has described the stem of his plant ” caule herbaceo,” and states it to be an annual, whilst ours is certainly suffruticose.

Vintage Botanical Print – 79 in a series – Opuntia vulgaris from Familie Der Cacteen (1893-1905)

Posted on by
The image depicts a botanical illustration of a cactus plant, specifically an Opuntia vulgaris, also known as the common prickly pear. The illustration is detailed and realistic, showcasing the plants green, flat, paddle-shaped pads, which are covered with small red spots and tiny spines. Two bright yellow flowers with multiple petals are prominently displayed, adding a vibrant contrast to the green pads. The cactus is potted in a simple, brown container, and the background is a plain, off-white color, emphasizing the plant. The illustration includes text at the bottom left corner, reading Cactaceae, and at the bottom right, Opuntia vulgaris. Basel. Botan. Garten, 6. Juli 1895, indicating the plants family, species, and the date and location of the illustration. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Why Native Plants Gardening is The Best – Guide to The Next Big Gardening Trend

Why Native Plants Gardening is The Best - Guide to The Next Big Gardening Trend via Food52 [Shared]

Planting a tree and seeing it grow and thrive is one of the most long-lasting and fulfilling gardening experiences. I feel that way about the gingko in our front yard, but when it comes to wildlife value, a gingko is almost like having a plastic tree in your yard—it has zero value to the little critters that make nature work. A gingko attracts no caterpillars at all (which are essential for birds to raise their young), but a native oak, on the other hand, supports more than 550 species of caterpillars. According to Doug Tallamy, a professor of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware and a leading voice in the movement to plant more natives, a single pair of chickadees needs 6,000 to 9,000 caterpillars to feed one clutch of young.

Vintage Botanical Print – 78 in a series – Orange Sherbet from Magasin för Blomster-Älskare och Idkare av Trägårds-Skötsel

Posted on by
The image depicts a botanical illustration of a plant with four flowers. The flowers are vibrant orange with jagged edges and a central cluster of stamens and pistils. The petals have a slightly translucent quality, with visible veins and a gradient of color from a deeper orange at the edges to a lighter shade towards the center. The plant has a green stem with several leaves, some of which are broad and oval-shaped, while others are smaller and more elongated. The leaves have prominent veins and a glossy texture. One flower is partially open, revealing its inner structure, while the others are fully bloomed. The background is a plain, off-white color, which contrasts with the vivid colors of the flowers and leaves. The illustration is detailed and appears to be from a scientific or educational publication, with a signature or initials in the bottom left corner.
