Due to their speedy growth, one plant of each desired mint, along with a little care, will provide more than enough mint for home use. Some mint species are more [[Invasive plants|invasive]] than others. Even with the less invasive mints, care should be taken when mixing any mint with any other plants, lest the mint take over.

It is more effective to take and plant cuttings from the runners of healthy mints.<br /> <br /> ==Pests and diseases==<br /> {{Main|List of mint diseases}}<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Mentha (from the Greek name of the nymph Minthe). Labiatae. Mint. Strong-scented perennial herbs; grown mostly for their essential oils but sometimes for ornament.<br /> <br /> The term mint, often applied to various species of Labiatae, is most frequently used to designate plants of the genus Mentha. This genus is characterized by its square sts. and opposite simple lvs. in common with others of the family, and especially by its aromatic fragrance, its small purple, pink or white fls., with mostly regular 10-nerved calyx, slightly irregular 4-cleft corolla and 4 anther-bearing stamens, crowded in axillary whorls and the whorls often in terminal spikes; ovary 4-parted, style 2-cleft: nutlets ovoid and smooth. —Many forms have been described, and the synonymy is extensive. About 30 species are now recognized, all native in the North Temperate Zone, about half of them being native or naturalized in N. Amer. Six species are cult. more or less for the production of aromatic essential oil, which is found in all parts of the herb, and especially in minute globules on the surface of the lvs. and calyx. Some of the species hybridize freely, producing innumerable intergrading forms which make the limitation of certain species difficult.<br /> <br /> The mints are scarcely horticultural subjects, although M. rotundifolia and M. Pulegium, as well as the little M. Requienii, may be used as border plants or ground-covers and for the ornamental foliage of some of the forms. They propagate readily by cuttings and division; some of them produce stolons.<br /> <br /> Culture of mints for oil.<br /> <br /> Peppermint, the most prominent economic species of mint, ranks as one of the most important of all plants in the production of essential oils. It was originally native in Great Britain and possibly in continental Europe, but is now widely naturalized, growing in many places on both continents like a native plant. There is no record of it in America previous to its introduction to Connecticut in the early part of the eighteenth century. From there it was taken to western New York and to the Western Reserve in Ohio, and in 1835 &quot;roots&quot; were taken from Ohio to Pigeon Prairie, in Michigan, where the industry has grown to larger proportions than anywhere else. Peppermint is now cultivated commercially in southwestern Michigan and adjacent parts of northern Indiana, Wayne county, New York, and in Mitcham, Surrey and Lincolnshire, England, and in Saxony.<br /> <br /> <br /> Peppermint plants may be grown on any land that will produce good crops of corn, but its cultivation is most profitable on muck soils of reclaimed swamps. It is an exhaustive crop, and on uplands is rarely included in the rotation more often than once in five years. On deep, rich muck soils it is often grown consecutively for 6 years or more with no apparent diminution in. yield. Peppermint is propagated by pieces of running root-stocks, commonly called &quot;roots.&quot; These are planted, as early in spring as the ground can be prepared, in furrows 30 inches apart. On uplands two or three crops are usually grown from one setting of the &quot;roots,&quot; but in the swamp lands the runners are plowed under after harvest, continuing the crop indefinitely. Clean cultivation is required between the rows, and often it is necessary to hoe the plants or pull weeds by hand, especially on land that has not been well prepared. Fire- weed, horseweed, ragweed and other species with bitter or aromatic properties are very injurious to the oil if cut and distilled with the peppermint.<br /> <br /> The crop is cut either with scythe or mowing-machine in August or early September, when the earliest flowers are developed and before the leaves have fallen. In long, favorable seasons a second crop is sometimes harvested early in November. After cutting, the plants are cured like hay, then raked into windrows and taken to the stills, where the oil is extracted by distillation with steam. A &quot;mint still&quot; (Fig. 2360) usually consists of two retorts (used alternately), wooden or galvanized iron tubs about 7 feet deep and 6 feet in diameter at the top, each with a perforated false bottom and a tight-fitting, removable cover, a condenser of nearly 200 feet of block-tin pipe immersed in tanks of cold water, or more frequently arranged in perpendicular tiers over which cold water runs, a boiler to furnish steam and a receiver or tin can with compartments in which the oil separates by gravity. The yield of oil varies from ten to sixty pounds to the acre, averaging about twenty-five pounds for black mint, the variety now generally grown. Three kinds of peppermint are recognized: (1) American mint, &quot;state mint&quot; of New York (M. piperita), long cultivated in this country and occasionally naturalized; (2) black mint, or black mitcham (M. piperita var. vulgaris), a more productive variety introduced from England about 1889, and (3) white mint, or white mitcham (M. piperita var. officinalis), less productive and too tender for profitable cultivation, but yielding a very superior grade of oil. Peppermint oil is used in confectionery, very extensively in medicines, and for the production of menthol, or more properly pipmenthol. Pipmenthol differs in physical properties from menthol derived from Japanese mint.<br /> <br /> Japanese mint, secured from M. arvensis var. piperascens, is cultivated in northern Japan, chiefly on the island of Hondo; not known in the wild state. It has been introduced experimentally in cultivation in England and the United States, but has not been cultivated commercially in these countries. Its oil is inferior in quality to that of Mentha piperita, but it contains a higher percentage of crystallizable menthol, of which it was the original source and for the production of which it is largely used. It is propagated by rootstocks carefully transplanted and cultivated by hand labor. Two crops, rarely three, are obtained in a season, and by abundant fertilizing and intensive culture large yields are obtained. It is usually continued three years from one planting, and then a rotation of other crops follow for three to six years. Three horticultural varieties are recognized, being distinguished chiefly by form of leaf and color of stem. The variety known as &quot;Akakuki,&quot; with reddish purple stem and broad, obtuse leaves, is regarded as best.<br /> <br /> Spearmint is cultivated on peppermint farms for the production of oil. The plants are propagated and cultivated similar to peppermint and distilled in the same stills. The oil, for which there is a smaller demand than for peppermint, is used chiefly in medicine and to some extent as a flavoring ingredient in chewing-gum and drinks. Spearmint is cultivated in the vicinity of many large cities to supply saloons, where freshly cut sprigs of the plant are used in making the seductive and intoxicating drink known as &quot;mint julep.&quot; The plant is more widely known as an ingredient in &quot;mint sauce,&quot; the familiar accompaniment of spring lamb and green peas. To supply this demand it is often cultivated in the kitchen- garden. It is easily propagated by the perennial root- stocks, and persists year after year with little care, thriving in nearly all kinds of soil, providing it does not become too dry.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *{{wplink}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Mentha Medicinal use of mint in Armenia]<br /> <br /> __NOTOC__</div>

<p>Potassium: </p> <hr /> <div>Some gardens are in situations where they have bedrock not far underneath the topsoil, or have heavy clay, or some other reason for poor drainage, this means that, especially after rain, the soil is very wet. Many plants will simply not tolerate these conditions, their roots rot, and they die.

It also gives its name to the [[poppy]] family ''[[Papaveracae]]''.<br /> <br /> The flower stems, each with usually only one [[bud]], emerge from the [[basal rosette]]s of hairy, finely lobed leaves. The flowers usually have four petals surrounding a central [[ovary]] that is topped by a [[stigmatic disc]]. They come in a great variety of colours, normally shades of red, but yellows, purples and whites are available.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Papaver (old Latin name, from the Greek, of dubious derivation).

Two or three species are indigenous in W. N. Amer. Opium is made from the milky juice of P. somniferum, which oozes from shallow cuts made in the young capsules. The seeds have no narcotic properties and are sold for bird food under the name of &quot;maw seed.&quot; They also produce a valuable oil.<br /> <br /> Poppies rank among the most popular flowers in cultivation. From their astonishing range of color, and from the formidable list of names given below, one might suppose their botany to be very complicated. It is, however, easy to understand, although the variation in some of the species is very great. There are only four species commonly cultivated and these are all remarkably distinct. They are (1) the opium poppy, (2) the corn poppy, (3) the Iceland poppy, and (4) the oriental poppy.<br /> <br /> 1. The opium poppy, P. somniferum, is one of the commonest and the most variable. It is annual, of tall stately habit, and recognized at once by the glaucous hue of its foliage. The flowers are the largest of any of the annual species, but unfortunately they are useless as cut-flowers because they drop their petals so quickly.<br /> <br /> 2. The corn poppy of Europe, P. Rhoeas, is also an annual, but a dwarfer plant, with green hairy finely cut foliage and smaller flowers. It is brilliant in the fields of Europe, and it has run wild in this country. The Shirley poppies are the best strain of this species; in gardens the flowers last longer than the common P. Rhoeas and the plants are neater when out of bloom.<br /> <br /> 3. The Iceland poppy, P. nudicaule, is the glory of the arctic regions. It ranges over an immense territory and varies remarkably both in the wild and the garden. Orange, red, and white are the chief colors, besides shades of yellow, but the flowers never attain the brilliant scarlet of the corn poppy. Although the Iceland poppy is perennial, it is short-lived, and is commonly treated as an annual or as a short-lived perennial. It is known for the satiny texture and crimpled character of its petals. The flowers are excellent for cutting, especially if the young flowers are chosen and cut in the early morning, a principle which applies to many flowers often supposed to be useless for home decoration.<br /> <br /> 4. The oriental poppy, P. orientale, is a longer-lived perennial, and although it has the largest flowers of any species in the genus it has nothing like the fame of the opium poppy. However, it has the double advantage of being easily propagated by either seed or division, and it has a considerable range of color, which is said to be largely due to crosses with P. bracteatum. The latter differs in having large bracts below the flower.<br /> <br /> The other species of poppy are for the fancier. The alpine poppy, P. alpinum, was considered by Linnaeus to be a distinct species from the Iceland poppy. However, gradations occur between the typical form of P. nudicaule of the arctic regions and the poppy found in the Alps. The former has a yellow flower, while the common alpine poppy is white. The alpine poppy is by some regarded as an extreme form of P. nudicaule, characterized by a dwarfer habit and more finely divided foliage. For horticultural purposes P. nudicaule and P. alpinum should be considered to be distinct species, as many botanists indeed consider them to be. The Iceland poppy can be easily grown in the border, while the alpine poppy demands rock-garden treatment. The former does best in a moderately rich and light loam, while the latter does better in a rather poor soil. Both need full exposure to the sun, and P. alpinum probably needs better drainage. See No. 20, p. 2459.<br /> <br /> The Shirley poppies are now the prevailing forms of P. Rhoeas. The following history of the remarkable race is given by the Rev. W. Wilks in &quot;The Garden,&quot; 57, page 385: &quot;In 1880 I noticed in a waste corner of my garden abutting on the fields a patch of the common wild field poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), one solitary flower of which had a very narrow edge of white. This one flower I marked and saved the seed of it alone. Next year, out of perhaps two hundred plants I had four or five on which all the flowers were edged. The best of these were marked and the seed saved, and so for several years, the flowers all the while getting a larger infusion of white to tone down the red until they arrived at quite pale pink and one plant absolutely pure white. I then set myself to change the black central portions of the flowers from black to yellow or white, and having at last fixed a strain with petals varying in color from the brightest scarlet to pure white, with all shades of pink between and all varieties of flakes and edged flowers also, but all having yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, and a white base.&quot; .<br /> . . Mr. Wilks then distributed it. freely to all. &quot;My ideal,&quot; he continues, &quot;is to get a yellow P. Rhoeas, and I have already obtained many distinct shades of salmon. The Shirley poppies have thus been obtained simply by selection ana elimination. . . . Let it be noticed that true Shirley poppies (1) are single, (2) always have a white base with (3) yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, (4) never have the smallest particle of black about them. Double poppies and poppies with black centers may be greatly admired by some, but they<br /> <br /> are not Shirley poppies. It is rather interesting to reflect that the gardens of the-whole world—rich man's and poor man's alike—are today furnished with poppies which are the direct descendants of one single capsule of seed raised in the garden of the Shirley Vicarage so lately as August, 1880.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hybrids between different species of Papaver are described in the monographs, but they do not appear to have given leading forms for cultivation. Hybrids have been produced between the annual and perennial species. Between the different garden varieties, crossing probably goes on continuously, and new strains are constantly arising.<br /> <br /> For garden purposes most poppies are to be treated as annuals for best results, with the exception of P. orientale and P. bracteatum, which the gardener thinks of as one group. The oriental poppy is, in fact, the only common long-lived perennial poppy. The Iceland poppy may live for several years, but after the third year it usually degenerates. It blooms the first year from seed and the best results are usually secured the second year. The cultivation of poppies is very simple, except of course in the case of alpine species, for which special conditions must be provided. Seeds usually germinate readily, but as the young plants of the annual kinds do not transplant well, the seeds should be sown where the plants are to remain. In the Shirley and similar poppies, the plants may be thinned to stand 4 to 6 inches apart. For especially large and fine blooms, the plants should be given at least twice more room. A succession in sowings will provide a greatly extended season of bloom; removing the seed-pods will also extend the blooming-time. Open warm soil in a sunny exposure is preferred for poppies.<br /> <br /> P.Heldreichii,Hort.-P.Schinxianum,below.-P.heterophyllum,Greeene-Meconopsis heterophylla-P.Hopkinsii,Hort.Apparently perennial, and described as a particularly good poppy of medium height with deep scarlet fls. on slender graceful sts.

<p>Potassium: /* A */ spelling correction</p> <hr /> <div>English equivalents of Latin names of species<br /> <br /> Plants may have one or more common names, which are like nicknames, but they only have one botanical name (which is also called a Latin name, scientific name or technical name). The botanical name of a plant consists of two words, the genus name (generic word, common to the entire group or genus), followed by the the species name (specific or particular word, designating the given species). The species name is often somehow descriptive of the plant, or where it was found, or derived from someone's name. So for example, ''Briza maxima'' is the large ''Briza'', ''B. minor'' the small ''Briza'', and ''B. media'' the intermediate ''Briza''. ''Abies sibirica''; the Siberian ''Abies'', is a geographic example, while ''A. fraseri'', Fraser's ''Abies'', is commemorative. <br /> <br /> Although the species-word is not always designative and is sometimes even inapplicable, nevertheless the student is aided if he knows what the word means in English translation; and the following list is inserted to supply this knowledge for characteristic Latin or Latinized descriptive adjectives (in some cases nouns in the genitive or in apposition) applied to the species of plants. These words are likely to be used in differing meanings in different genera and as applied by different authors; in many cases, they do not follow the usages of classical Latin: therefore a list of this kind cannot be exact or give all the meanings in which the words may be applied as specific names.

gender: thus the Latin adjective ''aureus'' (golden) takes the regular masculine termination in ''Calochortus aureus'', because Calochortus is masculine; the feminine termination in Albuca aurea; the neuter in ''Acrostichum aureum''; in Sorbus it is feminine (''S. aurea'') even though the generic name is masculine in form, because most trees are feminine whatever the termination of the name. In the following list, for convenience most of the adjectives are printed in the masculine form. The leading exceptions are those that terminate in ''-fer'' and ''-ger'', meaning &quot;bearuig,&quot; these being given in the feminine form.<br /> <br /> The above examples illustrate prevailing terminations of species-words. Other adjectives have other forms, as ''niger''; ''nigra'', ''nigrum'' (black); ''asper'', ''aspera'', ''asperum'' (rough); ''acaulis'', ''acaule'' (stemless); the termination ''-ensis'' (belonging to, citizen of), as in ''canadensis'', ''canadense'' (not ''-um''). Commemorative personal species-names may be in the genitive or in the form of an adjective; as ''Stanhopea Lindleyi''. Lindley's stanhopea; ''Selenipedium Lindleyanum'', Lindleyan selenipedium. If the person's name ends in a hard consonant, the termination (under the recent Vienna code) is in double ii, as ''Canna Lambertii''. If for a woman, the termination is feminine, as Acacia Wayae. Substantive names in apposition hold their own termination, and the word in such cases should begin with a capital letter, if it is a proper name or an old generic name, as ''Hibiscus Sabdariffa'', ''Artemisia Absinthium'', ''Begonia Rex''. Such words are usually old generic names or prominent vernacular substantives, and they commonly record some historical connection of the plant.<br /> <br /> Very many names are compounded from generic or subgeneric names, representing similarity or likeness to. These the reader will be able to recognize at once, and they need not be entered in this list.

A ''C. sativus'' flower bears three [[gynoecium|stigma]]s, each the distal end of a [[carpel]]. Together with their [[style]]s—stalks connecting stigmas to their host plant—stigmas are dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and colouring agent. Saffron, long the world's most expensive spice by weight,&lt;ref name=&quot;Rau_53&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Rau|1969|p=53}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Hill_272&quot;/&gt; is native to Southwest Asia.&lt;ref name=&quot;Hill_272&quot;/&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Grigg_287&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Grigg|1974|p=287}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> After [[estivation|aestivating]] in summer, the plant sends up five to eleven narrow and nearly vertical green leaves, each up to 40 cm in length. In autumn, purple buds appear. Only in October, after most other flowering plants have released their seeds, do its brilliantly hued flowers develop; they range from a light pastel shade of lilac to a darker and more striated mauve.&lt;ref name=&quot;Willard_3&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Willard|2001|p=3}}&lt;/ref&gt; Upon flowering, plants average less than 30 cm in height.&lt;ref name=&quot;DPIWE_2005&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|DPIWE|2005}}&lt;/ref&gt; A three-pronged style emerges from each flower. Each prong terminates with a vivid crimson stigma 25-30 mm in length.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deo_1&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Cultivation==<br /> ''C. sativus'' thrives in the Mediterranean maquis, the North American chaparral, and like climates where hot, dry summer breezes sweep semi-arid lands. It can nonetheless survive cold winters by tolerating frosts as low as -10C and short periods of snow cover.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deo_1&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Deo|2003|p= 1}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Willard_2-3&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Willard|2001|pp= 2–3}}&lt;/ref&gt; [[Irrigation]] is required if not grown in moist environments such as Kashmir, where annual rainfall averages 1000-1500 mm; saffron-growing regions in Greece 500 mm annually) and Spain (400 mm) are far drier. Timing is key: generous spring rains and drier summers are optimal. Rain immediately preceding flowering boosts saffron yields; rainy or cold weather ''during'' flowering spurs disease and low yields. Persistently damp and hot conditions harm crops,&lt;ref name=&quot;Deo_2&quot;&gt;{{harvnb |Deo|2003|p=2}}&lt;/ref&gt; as do the digging actions of rabbits, rats, and birds. [[Nematode]]s, leaf [[rust]]s, and corm rot pose other threats.<br /> <br /> The plants fare poorly in shady conditions; they grow best in strong sunlight. Planting is thus best done in fields that slope towards the sunlight (i.e., south-sloping in the Northern Hemisphere), maximizing sun exposure. Planting is mostly done in June in the Northern Hemisphere, where corms are lodged 7-15 cm deep. Planting depth and corm spacing, in concert with climate, are critical factors affecting yields. Mother corms planted deeper yield higher-quality saffron, though from fewer flower buds and daughter corms. Italian growers optimize thread yield by planting 15 cm deep and in rows 2–3 cm apart; depths of 8–10 cm optimizes flower and corm production. Greek, Moroccan, and Spanish growers have devised distinct depths and spacings to suit their locales.<br /> <br /> ''C. sativus'' prefers [[friable]], loose, low-density, well-watered, and well-drained clay-[[calcareous]] soils with high organic content. Traditional raised beds promote good drainage. Soil organic content was historically boosted via application of some 20–30 tonnes of manure per hectare. Afterwards—and with no further manure application—corms were planted.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deo_3&quot;/&gt; After a period of dormancy through the summer, the corms send up their narrow leaves and begin to bud in early autumn. Only in mid-autumn do they flower. Harvests are by necessity a speedy affair: after blossoming at dawn, flowers quickly wilt as the day passes.&lt;ref name=&quot;Willard_3-4&quot;&gt;{{harvnb |Willard|2001|pp=3–4}}&lt;/ref&gt; All plants bloom within a window of one or two weeks.&lt;ref name=&quot;Willard_4&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Willard|2001|p=4}}&lt;/ref&gt; Roughly 150 flowers yield 1 g of dry saffron threads; to produce 12 g of dried saffron (72 g freshly harvested), 1 kg of flowers are needed (1 lb for 0.2 oz of dried saffron). One fresh-picked flower yields an average 30 mg of fresh saffron or 7 mg of dried saffron.&lt;ref name=&quot;Deo_3&quot;&gt;{{harvnb|Deo|2003|p=3}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Propagation===<br /> From offsets.<br /> <br /> ===Pests and diseases===<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Varieties==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:Saffran crocus sativus moist.jpg|<br /> File:Crocus sativus1.jpg|C. sativus blossom<br /> Image:Crocus sativus sahuran.jpg| C. sativus blossom<br /> File:Red-crocus-thread-greek-v2.jpg| Close-up of a single crocus thread (the dried stigma).

It also gives its name to the [[poppy]] family ''[[Papaveracae]]''.<br /> <br /> The flower stems, each with usually only one [[bud]], emerge from the [[basal rosette]]s of hairy, finely lobed leaves. The flowers usually have four petals surrounding a central [[ovary]] that is topped by a [[stigmatic disc]]. They come in a great variety of colours, normally shades of red, but yellows, purples and whites are available.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Papaver (old Latin name, from the Greek, of dubious derivation). Papaveraceae. Poppy. Well- known flower-garden plants, of brilliant but short-lived bloom.<br /> <br /> Herbs or rarely subshrubs, annual, biennial and perennial, with milky juice, bristly or smooth and often glaucous: lvs. usually lobed or dissected in a pinnate way: peduncles long, single-fld., the bud usually nodding: fls. red, violet, yellow and white; sepals 2; petals usually 1; stamens numerous: ovary and caps, globose, obovate or top-shaped, dehiscing under the vertex by transverse pores between the placentae;, the openings very small and valve-like; this vertex or flattened sometimes conical top or cap represents the combined radiate stigmas; placentae 4 - 20, projecting into the c e n t e r.—Species more than 100, largely in the Medit. region, and the Armenian- Persian region and somewhat eastward, with one in the southern hemisphere; Fedde accepted 99 species in 1909 in Engler's Das Pflan- zenreich, hft. 40 (iv:104) together with many botanical varieties and hybrids. Two or three species are indigenous in W. N. Amer. Opium is made from the milky juice of P. somniferum, which oozes from shallow cuts made in the young capsules. The seeds have no narcotic properties and are sold for bird food under the name of &quot;maw seed.&quot; They also produce a valuable oil.<br /> <br /> Poppies rank among the most popular flowers in cultivation. From their astonishing range of color, and from the formidable list of names given below, one might suppose their botany to be very complicated. It is, however, easy to understand, although the variation in some of the species is very great. There are only four species commonly cultivated and these are all remarkably distinct. They are (1) the opium poppy, (2) the corn poppy, (3) the Iceland poppy, and (4) the oriental poppy.<br /> <br /> 1. The opium poppy, P. somniferum, is one of the commonest and the most variable. It is annual, of tall stately habit, and recognized at once by the glaucous hue of its foliage. The flowers are the largest of any of the annual species, but unfortunately they are useless as cut-flowers because they drop their petals so quickly.<br /> <br /> 2. The corn poppy of Europe, P. Rhoeas, is also an annual, but a dwarfer plant, with green hairy finely cut foliage and smaller flowers. It is brilliant in the fields of Europe, and it has run wild in this country. The Shirley poppies are the best strain of this species; in gardens the flowers last longer than the common P. Rhoeas and the plants are neater when out of bloom.<br /> <br /> 3. The Iceland poppy, P. nudicaule, is the glory of the arctic regions. It ranges over an immense territory and varies remarkably both in the wild and the garden. Orange, red, and white are the chief colors, besides shades of yellow, but the flowers never attain the brilliant scarlet of the corn poppy. Although the Iceland poppy is perennial, it is short-lived, and is commonly treated as an annual or as a short-lived perennial. It is known for the satiny texture and crimpled character of its petals. The flowers are excellent for cutting, especially if the young flowers are chosen and cut in the early morning, a principle which applies to many flowers often supposed to be useless for home decoration.<br /> <br /> 4. The oriental poppy, P. orientale, is a longer-lived perennial, and although it has the largest flowers of any species in the genus it has nothing like the fame of the opium poppy. However, it has the double advantage of being easily propagated by either seed or division, and it has a considerable range of color, which is said to be largely due to crosses with P. bracteatum. The latter differs in having large bracts below the flower.<br /> <br /> The other species of poppy are for the fancier. The alpine poppy, P. alpinum, was considered by Linnaeus to be a distinct species from the Iceland poppy. However, gradations occur between the typical form of P. nudicaule of the arctic regions and the poppy found in the Alps. The former has a yellow flower, while the common alpine poppy is white. The alpine poppy is by some regarded as an extreme form of P. nudicaule, characterized by a dwarfer habit and more finely divided foliage. For horticultural purposes P. nudicaule and P. alpinum should be considered to be distinct species, as many botanists indeed consider them to be. The Iceland poppy can be easily grown in the border, while the alpine poppy demands rock-garden treatment. The former does best in a moderately rich and light loam, while the latter does better in a rather poor soil. Both need full exposure to the sun, and P. alpinum probably needs better drainage. See No. 20, p. 2459.<br /> <br /> The Shirley poppies are now the prevailing forms of P. Rhoeas. The following history of the remarkable race is given by the Rev. W. Wilks in &quot;The Garden,&quot; 57, page 385: &quot;In 1880 I noticed in a waste corner of my garden abutting on the fields a patch of the common wild field poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), one solitary flower of which had a very narrow edge of white. This one flower I marked and saved the seed of it alone. Next year, out of perhaps two hundred plants I had four or five on which all the flowers were edged. The best of these were marked and the seed saved, and so for several years, the flowers all the while getting a larger infusion of white to tone down the red until they arrived at quite pale pink and one plant absolutely pure white. I then set myself to change the black central portions of the flowers from black to yellow or white, and having at last fixed a strain with petals varying in color from the brightest scarlet to pure white, with all shades of pink between and all varieties of flakes and edged flowers also, but all having yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, and a white base.&quot; .<br /> . . Mr. Wilks then distributed it. freely to all. &quot;My ideal,&quot; he continues, &quot;is to get a yellow P. Rhoeas, and I have already obtained many distinct shades of salmon. The Shirley poppies have thus been obtained simply by selection ana elimination. . . . Let it be noticed that true Shirley poppies (1) are single, (2) always have a white base with (3) yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, (4) never have the smallest particle of black about them. Double poppies and poppies with black centers may be greatly admired by some, but they<br /> <br /> are not Shirley poppies. It is rather interesting to reflect that the gardens of the-whole world—rich man's and poor man's alike—are today furnished with poppies which are the direct descendants of one single capsule of seed raised in the garden of the Shirley Vicarage so lately as August, 1880.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hybrids between different species of Papaver are described in the monographs, but they do not appear to have given leading forms for cultivation. Hybrids have been produced between the annual and perennial species. Between the different garden varieties, crossing probably goes on continuously, and new strains are constantly arising.<br /> <br /> For garden purposes most poppies are to be treated as annuals for best results, with the exception of P. orientale and P. bracteatum, which the gardener thinks of as one group. The oriental poppy is, in fact, the only common long-lived perennial poppy. The Iceland poppy may live for several years, but after the third year it usually degenerates. It blooms the first year from seed and the best results are usually secured the second year. The cultivation of poppies is very simple, except of course in the case of alpine species, for which special conditions must be provided. Seeds usually germinate readily, but as the young plants of the annual kinds do not transplant well, the seeds should be sown where the plants are to remain. In the Shirley and similar poppies, the plants may be thinned to stand 4 to 6 inches apart. For especially large and fine blooms, the plants should be given at least twice more room. A succession in sowings will provide a greatly extended season of bloom; removing the seed-pods will also extend the blooming-time. Open warm soil in a sunny exposure is preferred for poppies.<br /> <br /> P.Heldreichii,Hort.-P.Schinxianum,below.-P.heterophyllum,Greeene-Meconopsis heterophylla-P.Hopkinsii,Hort.Apparently perennial, and described as a particularly good poppy of medium height with deep scarlet fls. on slender graceful sts.

Orange, red, and white are the chief colors, besides shades of yellow, but the flowers never attain the brilliant scarlet of the corn poppy. Although the Iceland poppy is perennial, it is short-lived, and is commonly treated as an annual or as a short-lived perennial. It is known for the satiny texture and crimpled character of its petals. The flowers are excellent for cutting, especially if the young flowers are chosen and cut in the early morning, a principle which applies to many flowers often supposed to be useless for home decoration.<br /> <br /> 4. The oriental poppy, P. orientale, is a longer-lived perennial, and although it has the largest flowers of any species in the genus it has nothing like the fame of the opium poppy. However, it has the double advantage of being easily propagated by either seed or division, and it has a considerable range of color, which is said to be largely due to crosses with P. bracteatum. The latter differs in having large bracts below the flower.<br /> <br /> The other species of poppy are for the fancier. The alpine poppy, P. alpinum, was considered by Linnaeus to be a distinct species from the Iceland poppy. However, gradations occur between the typical form of P. nudicaule of the arctic regions and the poppy found in the Alps. The former has a yellow flower, while the common alpine poppy is white. The alpine poppy is by some regarded as an extreme form of P. nudicaule, characterized by a dwarfer habit and more finely divided foliage. For horticultural purposes P. nudicaule and P. alpinum should be considered to be distinct species, as many botanists indeed consider them to be. The Iceland poppy can be easily grown in the border, while the alpine poppy demands rock-garden treatment. The former does best in a moderately rich and light loam, while the latter does better in a rather poor soil. Both need full exposure to the sun, and P. alpinum probably needs better drainage. See No. 20, p. 2459.<br /> <br /> The Shirley poppies are now the prevailing forms of P. Rhoeas. The following history of the remarkable race is given by the Rev. W. Wilks in &quot;The Garden,&quot; 57, page 385: &quot;In 1880 I noticed in a waste corner of my garden abutting on the fields a patch of the common wild field poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), one solitary flower of which had a very narrow edge of white. This one flower I marked and saved the seed of it alone. Next year, out of perhaps two hundred plants I had four or five on which all the flowers were edged. The best of these were marked and the seed saved, and so for several years, the flowers all the while getting a larger infusion of white to tone down the red until they arrived at quite pale pink and one plant absolutely pure white. I then set myself to change the black central portions of the flowers from black to yellow or white, and having at last fixed a strain with petals varying in color from the brightest scarlet to pure white, with all shades of pink between and all varieties of flakes and edged flowers also, but all having yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, and a white base.&quot; .<br /> . . Mr. Wilks then distributed it. freely to all. &quot;My ideal,&quot; he continues, &quot;is to get a yellow P. Rhoeas, and I have already obtained many distinct shades of salmon. The Shirley poppies have thus been obtained simply by selection ana elimination. . . . Let it be noticed that true Shirley poppies (1) are single, (2) always have a white base with (3) yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, (4) never have the smallest particle of black about them. Double poppies and poppies with black centers may be greatly admired by some, but they<br /> <br /> are not Shirley poppies. It is rather interesting to reflect that the gardens of the-whole world—rich man's and poor man's alike—are today furnished with poppies which are the direct descendants of one single capsule of seed raised in the garden of the Shirley Vicarage so lately as August, 1880.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hybrids between different species of Papaver are described in the monographs, but they do not appear to have given leading forms for cultivation. Hybrids have been produced between the annual and perennial species. Between the different garden varieties, crossing probably goes on continuously, and new strains are constantly arising.<br /> <br /> For garden purposes most poppies are to be treated as annuals for best results, with the exception of P. orientale and P. bracteatum, which the gardener thinks of as one group. The oriental poppy is, in fact, the only common long-lived perennial poppy. The Iceland poppy may live for several years, but after the third year it usually degenerates. It blooms the first year from seed and the best results are usually secured the second year. The cultivation of poppies is very simple, except of course in the case of alpine species, for which special conditions must be provided. Seeds usually germinate readily, but as the young plants of the annual kinds do not transplant well, the seeds should be sown where the plants are to remain. In the Shirley and similar poppies, the plants may be thinned to stand 4 to 6 inches apart. For especially large and fine blooms, the plants should be given at least twice more room. A succession in sowings will provide a greatly extended season of bloom; removing the seed-pods will also extend the blooming-time. Open warm soil in a sunny exposure is preferred for poppies.<br /> <br /> P.Heldreichii,Hort.-P.Schinxianum,below.-P.heterophyllum,Greeene-Meconopsis heterophylla-P.Hopkinsii,Hort.Apparently perennial, and described as a particularly good poppy of medium height with deep scarlet fls. on slender graceful sts.

It also gives its name to the [[poppy]] family ''[[Papaveracae]]''.<br /> <br /> The flower stems, each with usually only one [[bud]], emerge from the [[basal rosette]]s of hairy, finely lobed leaves. The flowers usually have four petals surrounding a central [[ovary]] that is topped by a [[stigmatic disc]]. They come in a great variety of colours, normally shades of red, but yellows, purples and whites are available.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Papaver (old Latin name, from the Greek, of dubious derivation). Papaveraceae. Poppy. Well- known flower-garden plants, of brilliant but short-lived bloom.<br /> <br /> Herbs or rarely subshrubs, annual, biennial and perennial, with milky juice, bristly or smooth and often glaucous: lvs. usually lobed or dissected in a pinnate way: peduncles long, single-fld., the bud usually nodding: fls. red, violet, yellow and white; sepals 2; petals usually 1; stamens numerous: ovary and caps, globose, obovate or top-shaped, dehiscing under the vertex by transverse pores between the placentae;, the openings very small and valve-like; this vertex or flattened sometimes conical top or cap represents the combined radiate stigmas; placentae 4 - 20, projecting into the c e n t e r.—Species more than 100, largely in the Medit. region, and the Armenian- Persian region and somewhat eastward, with one in the southern hemisphere; Fedde accepted 99 species in 1909 in Engler's Das Pflan- zenreich, hft. 40 (iv:104) together with many botanical varieties and hybrids. Two or three species are indigenous in W. N. Amer. Opium is made from the milky juice of P. somniferum, which oozes from shallow cuts made in the young capsules. The seeds have no narcotic properties and are sold for bird food under the name of &quot;maw seed.&quot; They also produce a valuable oil.<br /> <br /> Poppies rank among the most popular flowers in cultivation. From their astonishing range of color, and from the formidable list of names given below, one might suppose their botany to be very complicated. It is, however, easy to understand, although the variation in some of the species is very great. There are only four species commonly cultivated and these are all remarkably distinct. They are (1) the opium poppy, (2) the corn poppy, (3) the Iceland poppy, and (4) the oriental poppy.<br /> <br /> 1. The opium poppy, P. somniferum, is one of the commonest and the most variable. It is annual, of tall stately habit, and recognized at once by the glaucous hue of its foliage. The flowers are the largest of any of the annual species, but unfortunately they are useless as cut-flowers because they drop their petals so quickly.<br /> <br /> 2. The corn poppy of Europe, P. Rhoeas, is also an annual, but a dwarfer plant, with green hairy finely cut foliage and smaller flowers. It is brilliant in the fields of Europe, and it has run wild in this country. The Shirley poppies are the best strain of this species; in gardens the flowers last longer than the common P. Rhoeas and the plants are neater when out of bloom.<br /> <br /> 3. The Iceland poppy, P. nudicaule, is the glory of the arctic regions. It ranges over an immense territory and varies remarkably both in the wild and the garden. Orange, red, and white are the chief colors, besides shades of yellow, but the flowers never attain the brilliant scarlet of the corn poppy. Although the Iceland poppy is perennial, it is short-lived, and is commonly treated as an annual or as a short-lived perennial. It is known for the satiny texture and crimpled character of its petals. The flowers are excellent for cutting, especially if the young flowers are chosen and cut in the early morning, a principle which applies to many flowers often supposed to be useless for home decoration.<br /> <br /> 4. The oriental poppy, P. orientale, is a longer-lived perennial, and although it has the largest flowers of any species in the genus it has nothing like the fame of the opium poppy. However, it has the double advantage of being easily propagated by either seed or division, and it has a considerable range of color, which is said to be largely due to crosses with P. bracteatum. The latter differs in having large bracts below the flower.<br /> <br /> The other species of poppy are for the fancier.

However, gradations occur between the typical form of P. nudicaule of the arctic regions and the poppy found in the Alps. The former has a yellow flower, while the common alpine poppy is white.

Potassium https://www.gardenology.org/w/index.php?title=Humus&diff=96056 2010-02-11T10:10:39Z

<p>Potassium: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Humus''' is a word actually used for two different things, which are both related to soil and thus get used interchangeably. <br /> <br /> First off, in earth sciences &quot;humus&quot; (see http://www.suprahumic.unina.it/)<br /> is any organic matter which has reached a point of stability, where it will break down no further and might, if conditions do not change, remain essentially as it is for centuries, or millennia.<br /> <br /> Second, in agriculture, &quot;humus&quot; is often used simply to mean [[mature compost]], or natural compost extracted from a forest or other spontaneous source for use to amend soil.<br /> <br /> The process of &quot;humification&quot; can occur naturally in soil, or in the production of [[compost]]. Chemically stable humus is thought by some to be important to the fertility of soils in both a physical and chemical sense, though some agricultural experts advocate a greater focus on other aspects of nutrient delivery, instead. Physically, it helps the soil retain moisture, and encourages the formation of good soil structure. Chemically, it has many active sites which bind to ions of plant nutrients, making them more available. Humus is often described as the 'life-force' of the [[soil]]. Yet it is difficult to define humus in precise terms; it is a highly complex substance, the full nature of which is still not fully understood. Physically, humus can be differentiated from organic matter in that the latter is rough looking material, with coarse plant remains still visible, while once fully humified it becomes more uniform in appearance (a dark, spongy, jelly-like substance) and amorphous in structure. That is, it has no determinate shape, structure or character.<br /> <br /> [[Plant]] remains (including those that have passed through an animal and are excreted as [[manure]]) contain organic compounds: sugars, starches, proteins, carbohydrat]s, lignins, waxes, resins and organic acids. The process of organic matter decay in the soil begins with the decomposition of sugars and starches from carbohydrates which break down easily as saprotrophs initially invade the dead plant, while the remaining cellulose breaks down more slowly. Proteins decompose into amino acids at a rate depending on carbon to nitrogen ratios. Organic acids break down rapidly, while fats, waxes, resins and lignins remain relatively unchanged for longer periods of time. The humus that is the end product of this process is thus a mixture of compounds and complex life chemicals of plant, animal, or microbial origin, which has many functions and benefits in the soil. [[Earthworm]] humus ([[vermicompost]]) is considered by some to be the best organic manure there is.<br /> <br /> ===Benefits of Humus===<br /> *The mineralisation process that converts raw organic matter to the relatively stable substance that is humus feeds the soil population of micro-organisms and other creatures, thus maintaining high and healthy levels of [[soil life]].<br /> *Effective and stable humus (see below) are further sources of nutrients to [[microbe]]s, the former providing a readily available supply while the latter acts as a more long-term storage reservoir.<br /> *Humification of dead plant material causes complex organic compounds to break down into simpler forms which are then made available to growing plants for uptake through their root systems.<br /> *Humus is a colloidal as substance, and increases the soil's cation exchange capacity, hence its ability to store nutrients by chilation as can [[clay]] particles; thus while these nutrient cations are accessible to plants, they are held in the soil safe from leaching away by [[rain]] or [[irrigation]].<br /> *Humus can hold the equivalent of 80-90% of its weight in moisture, and therefore increases the soil's capacity to withstand drought conditions.<br /> *The biochemical structure of humus enables it to moderate &amp;ndash; or buffer &amp;ndash; excessive [[acid]] or [[alkaline]] soil conditions.<br /> *During the Humification process, microbes secrete sticky gums; these contribute to the crumb structure of the soil by holding particles together, allowing greater [[aeration]] of the soil. Toxic substances such as [[heavy metals]], as well as excess nutrients, can be chelated (that is, bound to the complex organic molecules of humus) and prevented from entering the wider [[ecosystem]].<br /> *The dark colour of humus (usually black or dark brown) helps to warm up cold soils in the [[spring|spring]].<br /> <br /> ===Humification of leaf litter and formation of clay-humus complexes===<br /> Compost which is readily capable of further [[decomposition]] is sometimes referred to as effective or active humus, though again actual scientists would say that if it is not stable, it's not humus at all. This kind of compost is principally derived from sugars, starches, and proteins, and consists of simple organic (fulvic) acids. It is an excellent source of plant nutrients, but of little value regarding long-term soil structure and tilth. Stable (or passive) humus consisting of humic acids, or humins, on the other hand, are so highly insoluble (or tightly bound<br /> to clay particles that they cannot be penetrated by microbes) that they are greatly resistant to further decomposition. Thus they add few readily available nutrients to the soil, but play an essential part in providing its physical structure. Some very stable humus complexes have survived for thousands of years. Stable humus tends to originate from [[wood]]ier plant materials, eg, cellulose and lignins.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Plant litter]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Composting]]<br /> [[Category:Soil improvers]]<br /> [[Category:Soil science]]</div>

The [[species]] have attractive flowers and have two distinct ranges. A single species, {{sp|M|econopsis|cambrica}}, also known as the ''Welsh poppy'', is indigenous to England, Wales, Ireland, and the fringes of Western Europe. The other 40 or so (depending on classification) species are found in the Himalayas. Within the Himalayan types there is much debate as to what constitutes a particular species as many readily [[hybrid|hybridise]] with each other and produce viable seed. It is likely that some individually-named species are in fact a single species but with an under-appreciated morphological diversity.<br /> A large proportion of species are monocarpic and as such are notoriously difficult to maintain in cultivation.<br /> Meconopsis grandis, nicknamed the Blue Poppy (although it is only poppy-like), is the national flower of Bhutan.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Meconopsis (Greek, poppy-like). Papaveraceae. Poppy-like herbs, annual and perennial, useful as garden flower plants.<br /> <br /> Simple or rarely much-branched plants with yellow juice, annual or biennial (monocarpic: seeding but once) or perennial, with showy large yellow, reddish or blue fls. in cymose racemes or panicles or borne singly: lvs. stalked when radical, short-stalked or sessile when cauline, entire, lobed, or dissected: sepals 2, usually deciduous; petals 4, varying to 5-10: stamens many; stigmas forming a globular mass or body on the several- to many-carpelled ovary: caps, oblong to clavate or even cylindrical, 1-celled with 4 or more projecting placentae, opening by short teeth or valves at the summit.—Species 28 as defined by Fedde (Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 40. 1909), in the northern extra-tropical regions, mostly in Asia, 2 in W. N. Amer.; other species have been described subsequently. In 1906, Prain admitted 27 species (Ann. Bot. XX, pp. 323-365).<br /> <br /> The species of Meconopsis have recently come into much prominence, mostly as herbaceous perennial subjects for borders and rock-gardens. Heretofore these plants have been known mostly by M. cambrica and M. heterophylla, but within ten or twelve years many attractive species have been introduced from the high elevations in the China-Tibet region. It is probable that the genus will have a great extension of popularity among gardeners. Hybrids already have appeared. Coming from high altitudes, they may be treated as hardy plants. They propagate readily from seed sown directly in the open in spring, or they may be started under glass and transplanted. The annual-biennial species may be carried as seedlings in pots the first summer and planted out in autumn if it is desired to bloom them the second year. They require partial shade. The Chinese and Himalayan species are essentially alpines, and it is probable that they would not withstand the American summers without very special treatment. Their availability here is yet to be determined.<br /> <br /> M.discigera, Prain. Probably perennial, with golden brown spreading hairs: lvs. in a basal tuft, spatulate, subacute, sparingly toothed, sometimes lobed toward the apex, green above, glaucous beneath: st. scape-like, simple, 1 ft. high: fls. racemose, the petals and sepals not described: caps, bearing a lobed disk. Himalaya.— M. Forrestii, Prain. Allied to M. lancifolia: St. simple: lvs. few, lanceolate or narrow-subspatulate, obtuse or acutish, entire: fls. 3-5, in raceme-like cymes, pale blue; petals oblong. Yunnan.—M. lancifolia, Franch. Annual or biennial, much like M. Henrici, but the deep violet fls. in raceme-like cymes: lvs. narrow-lanceolate or linear- lanceolate, entire or slightly repand; petals broadly obovate: caps, narrow-obconic. China.—M. nepaulensis, Hort. What the cult. plant passing under this name (variously spelled) may be is uncertain. M. napaulensis D.C., is allied to M. Wallichii, but with brownish purple larger fls., and sparsely long-pilose herbage. M. nipalensis, Hook. f.. is M. robusta. B.M. 5585. M. nepalensis, Lem., is a form of M. paniculata; and M. napaulensis, Walp., belongs to the same species.—M. Oliveriana, Franch. &amp; Prain. Perennial: st. erect, much branched, 2-3 ft.: lvs. numerous, ovate-oblong, pinnately parted: fls. solitary or twin, probably purple, the petals rounded and nearly 1 in. diam. W. China.—M. paniculata, Prain. Tall perennial, soft-hairy: st. simple or seldom somewhat branched, bearing yellow fls. in lax raceme-like cymes: lvs. linear-lanceolate or oblong, sinuate lobed, coarsely toothed, or rarely pinnatifid: petals entire. Himalaya.—M. primulina, Prain. Annual or biennial, glabrous or sparsely strigose: st. short: lvs. spatulate to linear-oblong, entire: scape nearly radical, 1-fld.; fls. violet-purple, the petals 6-8, the inner ones narrower. Himalaya.—M. robusta. Hook. f. &amp; Thorns. Tall annual or biennial, glaucescent, much branched: basal lvs. pinnately parted: fls. racemose or paniculate, sulfur-yellow. Himalaya.—M. superba, King. Annual or biennial, tall and stout: basal lvs. sinuate-lobed: st. simple, bearing white fls. in simple raceme- like cymes. Himalaya.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cultivation==<br /> Himalayan varieties have the reputation for being difficult to grow from seed, but when germinating new plants, using fresh seeds will help. On the other hand, the Welsh poppy is sometimes considered a weed, albeit a handsome one, due to its vigorous self-seeding. It comes as a surprise to many that poppies are available in shades of blue. These plants are available in a variety of strong colours, including blue, red, orange, purple, white and yellow depending on species and cultivar.<br /> <br /> They like a rich, [[loam]]y soil in a semi-shaded position.<br /> <br /> ===Propagation===<br /> Seeds should be stored in an airtight, dry container, in a cool place such as a domestic fridge. Some seeds, such as that of {{sp|M|econopsis punicea}} need to be sown when fresh and experience a period of cold to allow germination to occur.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.meconopsis.org/pages/cultivate3.html#raisingseed&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====From Seed====<br /> Sow seeds during late summer through to early winter on the surface of a seed tray filled with moist [[seed raising mix]] and then cover with a 10mm layer of [[vermiculite]] and firm well, keep moist at all times, especially after germination has taken place, by misting or watering from below, to avoid disturbing the seeds. Including a lot of grit into the soil allows you to [[pricking out|prick]] the plant out without damaging the delicate stem or roots. Using [[peat pellet]]s solves this transplanting problem.<br /> <br /> Germinate them in a shaded, cool location. The germination period can be three weeks, but can also take several months, sometimes not germinating until the next year. Some species, such as {{sp|M|econopsis|lancifolia}}, {{sp|M|econopsis|sinuata}}, {{sp|M|econopsis|delavayi}}, and {{sp|M|econopsis|speciosa}} and the high altitude form of {{sp|M|econopsis|horridula}}.<br /> <br /> You can transfer plants into the garden when they are large enough.<br /> <br /> ====Asexual propagation====<br /> For big perennial species, especially the sterile hybrids, which do not produce viable seeds, propagation by division is the best (or only) way to get more of the same species.<br /> <br /> It is best to divide the clumps while they are actively growing, to reduce the amount of stress caused, so during early spring, when the new leaves are beginning to form. The first thing is to find a sizeable clump of the plant and then to carefully lift it and tease it apart into several smaller clumps. It is much better to tease the clumps apart with your hands, or the gentle use of a [[garden fork]] then slicing with a knife or spade.<br /> <br /> After completing the division, the plants should be potted up and kept under cover until they have well developed root systems.<br /> <br /> ===Pests and diseases===<br /> {{edit-pests}}&lt;!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Species==<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|aculeata}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|betonicifolia}} (Himalayan blue poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|cambrica}} (Welsh poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|chelidonifolia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|grandis}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|lancifolia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|napaulensis}} (Nepal poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|punicia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|quituplinerva}} &lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|simplicifolia}} (blue poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> {{photo-sources}}&lt;!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 1<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 2<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 3<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;!--- xxxxx *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.

It also gives its name to the poppy family ''[[Papaveracae]]''.<br /> <br /> The flower stems, each with usually only one [[bud]], emerge from the [[basal rosette]]s of hairy, finely lobed leaves. The flowers usually have four petals surrounding a central ovary that is topped by a [[stigmatic disc]]. They come in a great variety of colours, normally shades of red, but yellows, purples and whites are available.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Papaver (old Latin name, from the Greek, of dubious derivation). Papaveraceae. Poppy. Well- known flower-garden plants, of brilliant but short-lived bloom.<br /> <br /> Herbs or rarely subshrubs, annual, biennial and perennial, with milky juice, bristly or smooth and often glaucous: lvs. usually lobed or dissected in a pinnate way: peduncles long, single-fld., the bud usually nodding: fls. red, violet, yellow and white; sepals 2; petals usually 1; stamens numerous: ovary and caps, globose, obovate or top-shaped, dehiscing under the vertex by transverse pores between the placentae;, the openings very small and valve-like; this vertex or flattened sometimes conical top or cap represents the combined radiate stigmas; placentae 4 - 20, projecting into the c e n t e r.—Species more than 100, largely in the Medit. region, and the Armenian- Persian region and somewhat eastward, with one in the southern hemisphere; Fedde accepted 99 species in 1909 in Engler's Das Pflan- zenreich, hft. 40 (iv:104) together with many botanical varieties and hybrids. Two or three species are indigenous in W. N. Amer. Opium is made from the milky juice of P. somniferum, which oozes from shallow cuts made in the young capsules. The seeds have no narcotic properties and are sold for bird food under the name of &amp;quot;maw seed.&amp;quot; They also produce a valuable oil.<br /> <br /> Poppies rank among the most popular flowers in cultivation. From their astonishing range of color, and from the formidable list of names given below, one might suppose their botany to be very complicated. It is, however, easy to understand, although the variation in some of the species is very great. There are only four species commonly cultivated and these are all remarkably distinct. They are (1) the opium poppy, (2) the corn poppy, (3) the Iceland poppy, and (4) the oriental poppy.<br /> <br /> 1. The opium poppy, P. somniferum, is one of the commonest and the most variable. It is annual, of tall stately habit, and recognized at once by the glaucous hue of its foliage. The flowers are the largest of any of the annual species, but unfortunately they are useless as cut-flowers because they drop their petals so quickly.<br /> <br /> 2. The corn poppy of Europe, P. Rhoeas, is also an annual, but a dwarfer plant, with green hairy finely cut foliage and smaller flowers. It is brilliant in the fields of Europe, and it has run wild in this country. The Shirley poppies are the best strain of this species; in gardens the flowers last longer than the common P. Rhoeas and the plants are neater when out of bloom.<br /> <br /> 3. The Iceland poppy, P. nudicaule, is the glory of the arctic regions. It ranges over an immense territory and varies remarkably both in the wild and the garden. Orange, red, and white are the chief colors, besides shades of yellow, but the flowers never attain the brilliant scarlet of the corn poppy. Although the Iceland poppy is perennial, it is short-lived, and is commonly treated as an annual or as a short-lived perennial. It is known for the satiny texture and crimpled character of its petals. The flowers are excellent for cutting, especially if the young flowers are chosen and cut in the early morning, a principle which applies to many flowers often supposed to be useless for home decoration.<br /> <br /> 4. The oriental poppy, P. orientale, is a longer-lived perennial, and although it has the largest flowers of any species in the genus it has nothing like the fame of the opium poppy. However, it has the double advantage of being easily propagated by either seed or division, and it has a considerable range of color, which is said to be largely due to crosses with P. bracteatum. The latter differs in having large bracts below the flower.<br /> <br /> The other species of poppy are for the fancier. The alpine poppy, P. alpinum, was considered by Linnaeus to be a distinct species from the Iceland poppy. However, gradations occur between the typical form of P. nudicaule of the arctic regions and the poppy found in the Alps. The former has a yellow flower, while the common alpine poppy is white. The alpine poppy is by some regarded as an extreme form of P. nudicaule, characterized by a dwarfer habit and more finely divided foliage. For horticultural purposes P. nudicaule and P. alpinum should be considered to be distinct species, as many botanists indeed consider them to be. The Iceland poppy can be easily grown in the border, while the alpine poppy demands rock-garden treatment. The former does best in a moderately rich and light loam, while the latter does better in a rather poor soil. Both need full exposure to the sun, and P. alpinum probably needs better drainage. See No. 20, p. 2459.<br /> <br /> The Shirley poppies are now the prevailing forms of P. Rhoeas. The following history of the remarkable race is given by the Rev. W. Wilks in &amp;quot;The Garden,&amp;quot; 57, page 385: &amp;quot;In 1880 I noticed in a waste corner of my garden abutting on the fields a patch of the common wild field poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), one solitary flower of which had a very narrow edge of white. This one flower I marked and saved the seed of it alone. Next year, out of perhaps two hundred plants I had four or five on which all the flowers were edged. The best of these were marked and the seed saved, and so for several years, the flowers all the while getting a larger infusion of white to tone down the red until they arrived at quite pale pink and one plant absolutely pure white. I then set myself to change the black central portions of the flowers from black to yellow or white, and having at last fixed a strain with petals varying in color from the brightest scarlet to pure white, with all shades of pink between and all varieties of flakes and edged flowers also, but all having yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, and a white base.&amp;quot; .<br /> . . Mr. Wilks then distributed it. freely to all. &amp;quot;My ideal,&amp;quot; he continues, &amp;quot;is to get a yellow P. Rhoeas, and I have already obtained many distinct shades of salmon. The Shirley poppies have thus been obtained simply by selection ana elimination. . . . Let it be noticed that true Shirley poppies (1) are single, (2) always have a white base with (3) yellow or white stamens, anthers and pollen, (4) never have the smallest particle of black about them. Double poppies and poppies with black centers may be greatly admired by some, but they<br /> <br /> are not Shirley poppies. It is rather interesting to reflect that the gardens of the-whole world—rich man's and poor man's alike—are today furnished with poppies which are the direct descendants of one single capsule of seed raised in the garden of the Shirley Vicarage so lately as August, 1880.&amp;quot;<br /> <br /> Hybrids between different species of Papaver are described in the monographs, but they do not appear to have given leading forms for cultivation. Hybrids have been produced between the annual and perennial species. Between the different garden varieties, crossing probably goes on continuously, and new strains are constantly arising.<br /> <br /> For garden purposes most poppies are to be treated as annuals for best results, with the exception of P. orientale and P. bracteatum, which the gardener thinks of as one group. The oriental poppy is, in fact, the only common long-lived perennial poppy. The Iceland poppy may live for several years, but after the third year it usually degenerates. It blooms the first year from seed and the best results are usually secured the second year. The cultivation of poppies is very simple, except of course in the case of alpine species, for which special conditions must be provided. Seeds usually germinate readily, but as the young plants of the annual kinds do not transplant well, the seeds should be sown where the plants are to remain. In the Shirley and similar poppies, the plants may be thinned to stand 4 to 6 inches apart. For especially large and fine blooms, the plants should be given at least twice more room. A succession in sowings will provide a greatly extended season of bloom; removing the seed-pods will also extend the blooming-time. Open warm soil in a sunny exposure is preferred for poppies.<br /> <br /> P.Heldreichii,Hort.-P.Schinxianum,below.-P.heterophyllum,Greeene-Meconopsis heterophylla-P.Hopkinsii,Hort.Apparently perennial, and described as a particularly good poppy of medium height with deep scarlet fls. on slender graceful sts.

It is also known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree due to the fact that its peak flowering season is mid to late December.<br /> <br /> The Pohutukawa can grow up to and above 15m in height, with a spread of around 30m or greater. During the summer months, the tree is covered in many cases to its entirety in red flowers. With some trees, there are large matted aerial roots.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Metrosideros tomentosa, A. Rich. Christmas-tree of New Zeal., because of its season of bloom, intro. into S. Calif, many years ago and now offered by nurserymen: much- branched tree to 70 ft., the short trunk becoming 5 ft. in diam.: lvs. very variable, 1—4 in. long, lanceolate to broad-oblong, acute or obtuse, very thick, usually tomentose beneath: fls. large, dark crimson, in many-fld. terminal cymes, the pedicels and calyces tomentose; stamens numerous, to 1½in. long.— Cheeseman reports it as a &amp;quot;noble and picturesque tree,&amp;quot; abundant in the N. Island of New Zeal.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cultivation==<br /> The Pohutukawa will easily grow in places where most other coastal trees would wither and die. It is commonly seen growing in nearly vertical cliff faces, where fresh water and nutrients are hard to come by, but the salt water and winds lash it continually.<br /> <br /> In places more suited to survival, it will be common that the vast majority of a coast forest in its native area is made up of Pohutukawas. In such positions, the tree can reach heights of 20 metres or more, and have a spread of up to and over 30 metres.<br /> <br /> Younger plants are quite susceptible to frost, so if planting in an area with frosts of 10C or more, it is recommended that one buys a tree around a metre high. This sized tree will probably have it's adult foliage, which is a darker green and more leathery and thus can withstand harsher conditions. Even so, it would be advisable to always keep protected from frosts until it is well established.<br /> <br /> In 1940 on Mōtiti Island in the Bay of Plenty there was discovered a cultivar known as 'Aurea' that has yellow flowers.<br /> <br /> ===Propagation===<br /> The seed ripens around late summer to early autumn, depending on the climate, especially in coastal areas. You can spread the seed on the soil in coastal positions, or if further inland, sprinkle the seed on top of some seed raising mix in a box. Germination can take 21-35 days.<br /> <br /> The aerial roots can also be layered or cuttings can be taken. These, along with seedlings, should be kept indoors or in a greenhouse until their adult foliage has emerged. Then they should be hardened off and planted outside.<br /> <br /> ===Pests and diseases===<br /> The brush-tailed possum strips the adult pohutukawa trees of their leaves and eat their new growth. They will also eat the entire seedling. The treatment for this is sheet steel wrapped around the trunk to make it so possums can't climb the tree due to the fact they can't get a grip. Chicken wire netting can prevent seedlings from being eaten.<br /> <br /> [[Psyllid]] can cause the young leaves of a tree to be pitted, distorted or crinkled. [[Orthene]] (NZ) or [[Shield]] (NZ) or a similar insecticide can be used to treat this problem.&lt;ref&gt;Yate's 'Garden Problem Solver', HarperCollins, New Zealand, 2001&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Cultivars==<br /> <br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Aurea}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Butterscotch}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Fire Mountain}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Gold Finger}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Lighthouse}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Maori Princess}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Moon Maiden}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Parnell}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Pink Lady}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Royal Flame}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Scarlet Pimpernel}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Springfire}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Springtime}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Varigata}}<br /> *{{cu|M|etrosideros|excelsa|Vibrance}}<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=5&gt;<br /> Image:Akaroa_Pohutukawa.jpg| Metrosideros excelsa in Akaroa, New Zealand.<br /> Image:Pohutukawa_Seeds.jpg| Seed pods on the left, and the seed on the right, lying on some seed raising mix.<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 3<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.

The [[species]] have attractive flowers and have two distinct ranges. A single species, {{sp|M|econopsis|cambrica}}, also known as the ''Welsh poppy'', is indigenous to England, Wales, Ireland, and the fringes of Western Europe. The other 40 or so (depending on classification) species are found in the Himalayas. Within the Himalayan types there is much debate as to what constitutes a particular species as many readily [[hybrid|hybridise]] with each other and produce viable seed. It is likely that some individually-named species are in fact a single species but with an under-appreciated morphological diversity.<br /> A large proportion of species are monocarpic and as such are notoriously difficult to maintain in cultivation.<br /> Meconopsis grandis, nicknamed the Blue Poppy (although it is only poppy-like), is the national flower of Bhutan.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Meconopsis (Greek, poppy-like). Papaveraceae. Poppy-like herbs, annual and perennial, useful as garden flower plants.<br /> <br /> Simple or rarely much-branched plants with yellow juice, annual or biennial (monocarpic: seeding but once) or perennial, with showy large yellow, reddish or blue fls. in cymose racemes or panicles or borne singly: lvs. stalked when radical, short-stalked or sessile when cauline, entire, lobed, or dissected: sepals 2, usually deciduous; petals 4, varying to 5-10: stamens many; stigmas forming a globular mass or body on the several- to many-carpelled ovary: caps, oblong to clavate or even cylindrical, 1-celled with 4 or more projecting placentae, opening by short teeth or valves at the summit.—Species 28 as defined by Fedde (Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 40. 1909), in the northern extra-tropical regions, mostly in Asia, 2 in W. N. Amer.; other species have been described subsequently. In 1906, Prain admitted 27 species (Ann. Bot. XX, pp. 323-365).<br /> <br /> The species of Meconopsis have recently come into much prominence, mostly as herbaceous perennial subjects for borders and rock-gardens. Heretofore these plants have been known mostly by M. cambrica and M. heterophylla, but within ten or twelve years many attractive species have been introduced from the high elevations in the China-Tibet region. It is probable that the genus will have a great extension of popularity among gardeners. Hybrids already have appeared. Coming from high altitudes, they may be treated as hardy plants. They propagate readily from seed sown directly in the open in spring, or they may be started under glass and transplanted. The annual-biennial species may be carried as seedlings in pots the first summer and planted out in autumn if it is desired to bloom them the second year. They require partial shade. The Chinese and Himalayan species are essentially alpines, and it is probable that they would not withstand the American summers without very special treatment. Their availability here is yet to be determined.<br /> <br /> M.discigera, Prain. Probably perennial, with golden brown spreading hairs: lvs. in a basal tuft, spatulate, subacute, sparingly toothed, sometimes lobed toward the apex, green above, glaucous beneath: st. scape-like, simple, 1 ft. high: fls. racemose, the petals and sepals not described: caps, bearing a lobed disk. Himalaya.— M. Forrestii, Prain. Allied to M. lancifolia: St. simple: lvs. few, lanceolate or narrow-subspatulate, obtuse or acutish, entire: fls. 3-5, in raceme-like cymes, pale blue; petals oblong. Yunnan.—M. lancifolia, Franch. Annual or biennial, much like M. Henrici, but the deep violet fls. in raceme-like cymes: lvs. narrow-lanceolate or linear- lanceolate, entire or slightly repand; petals broadly obovate: caps, narrow-obconic. China.—M. nepaulensis, Hort. What the cult. plant passing under this name (variously spelled) may be is uncertain. M. napaulensis D.C., is allied to M. Wallichii, but with brownish purple larger fls., and sparsely long-pilose herbage. M. nipalensis, Hook. f.. is M. robusta. B.M. 5585. M. nepalensis, Lem., is a form of M. paniculata; and M. napaulensis, Walp., belongs to the same species.—M. Oliveriana, Franch. &amp; Prain. Perennial: st. erect, much branched, 2-3 ft.: lvs. numerous, ovate-oblong, pinnately parted: fls. solitary or twin, probably purple, the petals rounded and nearly 1 in. diam. W. China.—M. paniculata, Prain. Tall perennial, soft-hairy: st. simple or seldom somewhat branched, bearing yellow fls. in lax raceme-like cymes: lvs. linear-lanceolate or oblong, sinuate lobed, coarsely toothed, or rarely pinnatifid: petals entire. Himalaya.—M. primulina, Prain. Annual or biennial, glabrous or sparsely strigose: st. short: lvs. spatulate to linear-oblong, entire: scape nearly radical, 1-fld.; fls. violet-purple, the petals 6-8, the inner ones narrower. Himalaya.—M. robusta. Hook. f. &amp; Thorns. Tall annual or biennial, glaucescent, much branched: basal lvs. pinnately parted: fls. racemose or paniculate, sulfur-yellow. Himalaya.—M. superba, King. Annual or biennial, tall and stout: basal lvs. sinuate-lobed: st. simple, bearing white fls. in simple raceme- like cymes. Himalaya.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Cultivation==<br /> Himalayan varieties have the reputation for being difficult to grow from seed, but when germinating new plants, using fresh seeds will help. On the other hand, the Welsh poppy is sometimes considered a weed, albeit a handsome one, due to its vigorous self-seeding. It comes as a surprise to many that poppies are available in shades of blue. These plants are available in a variety of strong colours, including blue, red, orange, purple, white and yellow depending on species and cultivar.<br /> <br /> They like a rich, [[loam]]y soil in a semi-shaded position.<br /> <br /> ===Propagation===<br /> Seeds should be stored in an airtight, dry container, in a cool place such as a domestic fridge. Some seeds, such as that of {{sp|M|econopsis punicea}} need to be sown when fresh and experience a period of cold to allow germination to occur.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.meconopsis.org/pages/cultivate3.html#raisingseed&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ====From Seed====<br /> Sow seeds during late summer through to early winter on the surface of a seed tray filled with moist [[seed raising mix]] and then cover with a 10mm layer of [[vermiculite]] and firm well, keep moist at all times, especially after germination has taken place, by misting or watering from below, to avoid disturbing the seeds. Including a lot of grit into the soil allows you to [[pricking out|prick]] the plant out without damaging the delicate stem or roots. Using [[peat pellet]]s solves this transplanting problem.<br /> <br /> Germinate them in a shaded, cool location. The germination period can be three weeks, but can also take several months, sometimes not germinating until the next year. Some species, such as {{sp|M|econopsis|lancifolia}}, {{sp|M|econopsis|sinuata}}, {{sp|M|econopsis|delavayi}}, and {{sp|M|econopsis|speciosa}} and the high altitude form of {{sp|M|econopsis|horridula}}.<br /> <br /> You can transfer plants into the garden when they are large enough.<br /> <br /> ===Pests and diseases===<br /> {{edit-pests}}&lt;!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Species==<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|aculeata}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|betonicifolia}} (Himalayan blue poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|cambrica}} (Welsh poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|chelidonifolia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|grandis}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|lancifolia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|napaulensis}} (Nepal poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|punicia}}&lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|quituplinerva}} &lt;br/&gt;<br /> {{sp|M|econopsis|simplicifolia}} (blue poppy)&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> {{photo-sources}}&lt;!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 1<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 2<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 3<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;!--- xxxxx *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.

The [[species]] have attractive flowers and have two distinct ranges. A single species, {{sp|M|econopsis cambrica}}, also known as the ''Welsh poppy'', is indigenous to England, Wales, Ireland, and the fringes of Western Europe. The other 40 or so (depending on classification) species are found in the Himalayas. Within the Himalayan types there is much debate as to what constitutes a particular species as many readily [[hybrid|hybridise]] with each other and produce viable seed. It is likely that some individually-named species are in fact a single species but with an under-appreciated morphological diversity.<br /> A large proportion of species are monocarpic and as such are notoriously difficult to maintain in cultivation.<br /> Meconopsis grandis, nicknamed the Blue Poppy (although it is only poppy-like), is the national flower of Bhutan.<br /> <br /> {{Inc|<br /> Meconopsis (Greek, poppy-like). Papaveraceae. Poppy-like herbs, annual and perennial, useful as garden flower plants.<br /> <br /> Simple or rarely much-branched plants with yellow juice, annual or biennial (monocarpic: seeding but once) or perennial, with showy large yellow, reddish or blue fls. in cymose racemes or panicles or borne singly: lvs. stalked when radical, short-stalked or sessile when cauline, entire, lobed, or dissected: sepals 2, usually deciduous; petals 4, varying to 5-10: stamens many; stigmas forming a globular mass or body on the several- to many-carpelled ovary: caps, oblong to clavate or even cylindrical, 1-celled with 4 or more projecting placentae, opening by short teeth or valves at the summit.—Species 28 as defined by Fedde (Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 40. 1909), in the northern extra-tropical regions, mostly in Asia, 2 in W.

Heretofore these plants have been known mostly by M. cambrica and M. heterophylla, but within ten or twelve years many attractive species have been introduced from the high elevations in the China-Tibet region. It is probable that the genus will have a great extension of popularity among gardeners. Hybrids already have appeared. Coming from high altitudes, they may be treated as hardy plants. They propagate readily from seed sown directly in the open in spring, or they may be started under glass and transplanted. The annual-biennial species may be carried as seedlings in pots the first summer and planted out in autumn if it is desired to bloom them the second year. They require partial shade.
