In the PLANTS section, articles are presented about the protagonists of this site that are not others but the plants. Information is provided on crops – once and for wild plants – ie those that have ornamental, floricultural, nutritional, and generally much or less of agricultural interest.
Gaura lindheimeri ‘Siskiyou Pink’, which was the first pink variety of Gaura (syn. Oenothera), is the main topic of the article, which provides information about the “discovery” of this wonderful semi-woody flowering plant, its basic characteristics, as well as its use in the garden and landscape.
We knew it as Gaura lindheimeri, the Lindheimer’s Βeeblossom and it were raised Oinothera lindheimeri. So, with the rhythms that name plants change in recent years, we are thinking here in ‘Kalliergeia’ to suggest to the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) the replacement of their names in numbers.
The Variegated Japanese Pittosporum (Pittosporum tobira ‘Variegatum’) belongs to that category of historical shrub varieties that have been used for many years – regardless of “fashion” – in gardening and landscape architecture for functional and aesthetic purposes, always with wonderful results.
The Camphor Laure (Cinnamomum camphora) – the large evergreen tree native to the Land of the Rising Sun (Scotland?), which is used in many ways, cultivated for its wood, its medicinal and therapeutic properties, its industrial and ornamental uses in garden and landscape – is the topic of the following article.
The Greek Fir (Abies cephalonica), which is endemic to Greece and unique in the world, is the main topic of the article, which in addition to the botanical description of the plant, its care and uses in garden and landscape, attempts to give a definitive answer about where Homeric Ithaca was (??? !!!).
In the following article, a series of totally unnecessary articles are being launched, dedicated this time to Headed Cabbage. Its humble overestimated origin and the impudence distribution will concern us here, without being misled by the pompous name of Brassica oleracea var. capitata.
The use of the material, where third-party rights are not mentioned, is absolutely free. Its sharing, possibly, useful.
Great and ancient the ceramic art. And constantly renewed and evolving, when it is – literally – found in the hands of experienced and inventive masters. Yo Se Yeon from the city of Icheon, South Korea, does not have such ambitious goals. But he is such a master. And simply and humbly, as a continuator of a 5,000-year tradition, he devotes us some of his time and some objet d’arts.
The turfgrass sod that is rolled and installed in the garden, for the creation of an instant lawn, is the main object of the article, where reference is made to the basic characteristics of the sod, the advantages and disadvantages, the certification and specifications, as well as new forms of ready-made lawn.
Participating the “Kalliergeia” in the festive – strictly at home – atmosphere of theese days, presents from the Sex Pistols on board concert on the river Thames of the year 1977 – the celebration year of the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II – the tender ballad of the band entitled “God Save The Queen”.
The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) or Zanzibar Gem Plant is one of the most beautiful and robust plants indoors and outdoors – where climatic conditions allow. Zamiokoulkas zamiifolia – its planting, care & propagation – is mentioned in a series of “Kalliergeia” articles with the ambition to one day be completed.
