African lily, Lily of the Nile
Agapanthus africanus
‘Peter Pan’ Peter Pan Dwarf Lily of the Nile
Agapanthus africanus is native to Southern Africa. It is grown for the dark, glossy, strap-shaped leaves that arch gracefully. Flowers are borne on long erect stems 3 feet or taller. Agapanthus make good background plants or edging along a fence, driveway, or wall. These plants can thrive on conditions of neglect and naturalize readily. They also make excellent tub and container specimens and can be used in cut flower arrangements. In cold winter areas they can be brought indoors for the winter. Agapanthus africanus ‘Peter Pan’ is a dwarf variety. This Lily of the Nile has light blue flowers with 1 to 1.5 foot flower stalk. Plant height is 8 to 12 inches tall. Foliage can remain evergreen in warmer climates.
아가판투스라고 불리는 외떡잎식물. 백합목 백합과의 구근초이다. 높이 50cm 이상으로 잎은 뿌리에서 나오며 바늘처럼 길고 끝이 약간 볼록하다(바소꼴, 피침모양). 꽃은 4월 하순∼8월에 10∼50개가 꽃줄기 끝에 . 꽃대의 끝에서 많은 꽃이 방사형으로 나와서 끝마디에 꽃이 하나씩 붙는 산형꽃차례로 달린다. 빛깔은 보라, 파랑 하양 등이고 꽃부리 (꽃잎 전체)는 밑부분이 합쳐진 깔대기 모양으로 끝이 6개로 갈라진다. 수술 6개 암술 1개로 열매는 익으면 과일 껍질이 말라 쪼개지면서 씨를 퍼뜨리는 여러 개의 씨방으로 된 삭과(殼果)이다. 남아프리카 원산으로서 물이 잘 빠지고 바람이 잘 통하는, 반그늘진 곳에서 자란다. 남쪽에서는 밖에서 월동하지만 주로 온실에서 재배하며, 관상초로 쓴다.
“여러해살이풀로 덩이 모양의 뿌리줄기와 육질의 뿌리를 많이 가지고 있다. 잎은 뿌리 근처에서 여러 장씩 나오며, 꽃은 6∼7월에 깔때기 모양으로 핀다. 일반적으로 재배되는 것은 아가판투스 아프리카누스(A. africanus)와 아가판투스 프라에콕스(A. praecox) 등이다.
아 가판투스 아프리카누스는 약간 작아서 풀 길이 60cm까지 자라며 꽃은 4월 하순부터 8월까지 10∼50송이가 꽃줄기 끝에 이삭처럼 달린다. 꽃 색깔은 하늘색, 보라색, 흰색 등이다. 아가판투스 프라에콕스는 풀 길이 60∼200cm에 달하고 꽃이 100송이 이상인 품종도 있다. 아가판투스 프라에콕스의 아종 오리엔탈리스(ssp. orientalis)에서 많은 원예 품종이 나오고, 짙은 보라색, 연한 푸른색, 흰색 꽃과 두 겹으로 피는 것이 있다.
추위에 견디는 힘이 있고 화단과 꽃꽂이에 이용된다. 겨울철에는 잎이 시들어 버리나 말라 죽지는 않는다. 봄에 3∼4싹을 붙여서 포기나누기하여 번식한다.” (엔싸이버)
Leopard Lilly, panther lily, Pitkin Marsh lily
Lilium pardalinum
Lilium pardalinum is similar to Lilium Humboldtii but a species that is next to streams. (The British call it a panther lily, California calls it Leopard Lilly) It needs a little more water and is a little smaller. The plant can reach 3 ft. tall and have flowers that are 3 inches across. These will grow fine in inside patio or Mall planter as long as there is @30% sun and regular water.
” General: Lily Family (Liliaceae). This perennial herbaceous plant grows along stream banks and moist meadows below 2,000 m elevation. It has five subspecies (pardalinum, pitkinense (rare), shastense, vollmeri, and wigginsii). The stems are from 3 to 7 feet tall and the leaves appear in 1 to 8 whorls up the stem or are scattered. The leaves are linear to lanceolate, 1-2 dm. long. The branched rhizome is thick and fleshy and densely covered with two-jointed, sometimes three-or four-jointed bulb scales which are clonal. The bell-shaped flowers are one to many on long spreading pedicels. The flowers are pale to bright orange-red with a lighter orange center and purple spots on the lower half. The flowers are arranged in a terminal raceme. The capsule is narrowly oblong, acutely angled and one and one-half inches long and contain flat seeds.”
“Ethnobotanic: There are five subspecies of leopard lily and probably all were utilized by various Native American cultural groups. The bulbs were pried loose from the earth with a digging stick, and baked or steamed by the Atsugewi, Yurok, Hupa, Karuk, Wailaki, Yana, and Sierra Miwok of California. A number of native people still dig the bulbs today. Tribes in northwestern California, for example, harvest the bulb in August or the fall, being careful to only take the large ones and replant the smaller bulb scales for later harvest. Traditionally, the Karuk baked the bulbs in an earth oven. The Sierra Miwok wore the flowers as wreaths. The bulbs are also eaten by small and large mammals.” (http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/plantguides/flowers/plantguide.asp?symbol=LIPA)
Purple Sage June 29, 2008
Salvia leucophylla
Genus: Salvia Species: leucophylla
“Purple sage is a three to six foot evergreen shrub with flowers that are light purple in May-Jul.. Purple sage has leaves that are white tomentose(kinda fuzzy grey). This sage occurs on dry slopes where it is native from Santa Maria to Baja. Needs sun, no water after established (grows rank otherwise to eight feet). We have had no damage in containers at 8 degrees F. and slight damage in the ground at 0 deg.. One has been growing here for almost 30 years and it is still doing fine, looking good. There is a form of purple sage in the trade called Pt. Sal. Use the purple sage in heavy clays(but it does ok in sand), for wildlife(Quail love the seed), for a grey border of a desert garden(a little extra water in winter is all you’ll need in Palmdale), in the back of a butterfly garden, or as part of a sage garden. A grey, gray, cloud with some pink, a dream for one who loves grey, or gray.” (http://www.laspilitas.com/plants/611.htm)
“The purple sage (Salvia dorrii) is generally described as a Perennial Subshrub or Shrub. This Dicot (dicotyledon) is native to the U.S. (United States) and has its most active growth period in the Spring and Summer . The Purple Sage has Green foliage and inconspicuous Blue flowers, with inconspicuous White fruits or seeds. The greatest bloom is usually observed in the Late Spring, with fruit and seed production starting in the Spring and continuing until Summer. Leaves are not retained year to year. The Purple Sage has a Short life span relative to most other plant species and a Moderate growth rate. At maturity, the typical Purple Sage will reach up to 2.5 feet high, with a maximum height at 20 years of 2.5 feet.
The Purple Sage is usually not commercially available except under contract. It can be propagated by Bare Root, Container, Cuttings and Seed. It has a Moderate ability to spread through seed production and the seedlings have Medium vigor. Note that cold stratification is not required for seed germination and the plant cannot survive exposure to temperatures below -23°F. Purple Sage has Medium tolerance to drought and restricted water conditions.” (http://www.gardenguides.com/plants/plant.asp?symbol=SADO4)

milkweed (Asclepias) 아스클레피아스
쌍떡잎식물 용담목 박주가리과의 한 속. 여러해살이풀이며 높이 약 1m이다. 줄기에는 털이 나고 자르면 흰 유액(乳液)이 나온다. 대체로 잎은 마주나고 버들잎처럼 생긴 긴 타원형이다. 꽃은 작고 가지 끝에 산형꽃차례로 달린다. 화관은 5개로 깊게 갈라져 뒤로 젖혀진다. 수술은 5개이고 열매는 양 끝이 뾰족한 원기둥 모양이며 종자에 털이 난다. 추위에 약하므로 겨울에는 보온을 잘 해주어야 한다.

mock orange 고광나무
Philadelphus lewisii ; Deciduous Shrub 낙엽성 관목
Our native mock orange is a scrubby fighter of a bush, able to withstand cold and hot, moist and dry. It can be found in open meadowland and at the edge of forests. Like other mock oranges it is quite fragrant and the white flowers are showy. It is a fairly open, loose and irregular shrub and is best used at the back of a border or as part of a hedgerow. It should also be considered for use near outdoor living areas or entries when their fragrance early summer is most appreciated.
