Welcome back to the It's All Greek Retrospective series that contains previously aired short segments about gardening acronyms, jargon, and botanical nomenclature. In this third and last part of a series, Master Gardener Jean Thomas covers plants that have been named after people, a discussion about soil pH, and a range of acronyms. The first short segment covers the popularity of naming plants for people. It's been going on since people began naming plants at all, dating back to at least four centuries BC. Two causes are usually to blame; either the ego of the “discoverer” or the desire to flatter someone powerful. There are often great stories to uncover. One of the most interesting is the name of the Christmas standard, the Poinsettia (not poinTsettia). Dr, Joel Poinsett was the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico and an avid plant collector. His life story is a colorful one, but the only reason anyone remembers his name is because of the seasonal flower. Actually, the history of the flower and its interaction with humans is equally interesting. Some other names every gardener is familiar with are: Forsyth because this gentleman (1737-1804) was a respected palace gardener in England and was honored with the name of the familiar Forsythia; Kasper Wister (died in 1818) was a famous botanist in Pennsylvania and honored with the name of the popular Wisteria. Wister and Forsyth were honored by the English botanist Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859), who spent over thirty years cataloging plants in the U.S., and had the power to assign formal names to plants. The familiar Magnolia x soulangeana was named by and for Pierre Magnol and m. Soulange-Boudin, and developed from two Chinese species. Many familiar shrubs bear the species names (like Sargentii( C.S. Sargent), Fortuneii (R. Fortune), Thunbergii ( Carl Peter Thunberg)), named for contemporaries and students of Linnaeus. Many plant and animal names honor the interesting Pere Armand David with the appelation “davidii.” The familiar Fuchsia (Dr. Fuchs) and Dahlia (Dr. Dahl) are good herbaceous examples. The large Lobelia group (415 species) was named by Linnaeus himself for Dr. Mathias De Lobile. The conversation then moves on to one of the great topics discussed by gardeners without a real understanding of the mechanism. The pH of soil is crucially important and measured and adjusted fanatically by gardeners. The way the chemistry works is described, starting with the litmus papers we dealt with in school science classes. Cations and anions are the active ions that determine how soil makes nutrition available to plants. A scale is used, with one end called acid and the other end called alkaline. The place on the scale tells the soil's description as to what kinds of nutrients are best assimilated. “Acid” soil is best for blueberries and Rhododendrons and “Alkaline” soil is better for Lilacs and Spirea. Gardeners assiduously “adjust” the soil with amendments like sulfur or wood ash, remembering that this takes several seasons to effect. Jean closes this segment with an aside about names where she wonders about Monkshood, Begonias and Darth Vader. The final segment moves on to acronyms, which translates to “names from the extremities.” It refers to new names for things created from the initials of word describing the things. Like Scuba, Laser, and Yahoo. There is also another related usage of initials called initialism, where the actual letters are sounded out, not merged into a new word. For instance, AT&T or DEC. Both of these practices are twentieth century phenomena. Further discussion of acronyms leads us to AVID, CRISP and PRISM, all popular programs in New York, devised by Cornell and the NY Department of Conservation. In a nutshell, the ideal acronym is an invented word that should either help recognize its subject or be catchy enough to be memorable and relatable to its subject.

Begonias are known around the world as a plant of beauty and diversity. What can they teach us about the world around us? Through his work on Begonias and other flowering plants found in Northeast India, Professor Dipankar Borah sees the world differently. It's not just for his own benefit though.“Much of my time is spent making students aware of their surroundings,” He says. “We trek to forests, cook food from the wilderness, and then find joy in the simple yet profound experiences. Through these moments of exploration and laughter, I hope to rekindle their sense of wonder and then help them build the lasting bond with nature.”In this episode, let Dr. Borah invite you with joy and wonder into the world of Begonias. Dipankar Borah's paper “A new species Begonia ziroensis and a new record of Begonia siamensis from Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India” is in volume 63 issue 1 of the New Zealand Journal of Botany.It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1080/0028825X.2023.2295439A transcript of this episode can be found here: Dipankar Borah - TranscriptNew Species: Begonia ziroensisEpisode image credit: Dipankar Borah Read more on Dipankar's Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dipankar-BorahAnd Follow him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dipu.borah2/Be sure to follow New Species on Bluesky (@newspeciespodcast.bsky.social) and Instagram (@NewSpeciesPodcast) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast).Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom)If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.comIf you would like to support this podcast and enjoy bonus episodes, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

Better Lawns and Gardens Hour 1 – Coming to you from Summit Responsible Solutions Studios.  Garden expert, Teresa Watkins interviews Pungky Pratama, Founder and Executive Director of the Sumatra Nature & Biodiversity Conservation Foundation in Sumatra, Indonesia.  Pungky tells why his island's flora and fauna is rapidly being lost to theft and development. Sumatra is well known as a biodiversity hotspot, home to some of the world's rarest animals and plant species like the Raffesia arnoldii. More than 350 species of Sumatra's Orchids, Nepenthes, Hoya, Aroids, Begonias, and many more of their native plants can be grown in Florida's climate. This is the only place where tigers, elephants, rhinos, and orangutans live together. But these magnificent creatures are disappearing as their forest homes are rapidly being cut down to make way for plantations or illegal logging. Rampant poaching also poses a grave threat to the survival of the island's endangered species.  In 2017, Pungky Pratama and a colleague created an environmental education program together called “The Jungle Library Project” as a part of the Sumatra Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Foundation. This project focuses on raising awareness to a younger generation attending schools located in areas of high deforestation and human-wildlife conflict at the border of Isau-Isau Wildlife Reserve, South Sumatra. This vitally important program needs your financial support to continue their education efforts. Please consider a one-time donation of $1, $5, $10, or whatever you can provide. Follow Pungky on Facebook to see his incredible  photographs of Sumatra flora and fauna posted daily.   The Florida Wildflower and Garden Festival will be Saturday, March 25th in Deland 9am – 3pm.

Autumn has arrived on the shores of the UK - a slight freshness to the mornings and a waning of the light signal that subtle change to the season. In the garden the peak colour and growth is starting to give way to the texture and autumnal colours that signal the slow, but beautiful descent, into a period of more dormant reflection. Autumn can be one of the most beautiful times of year and also a celebration of what has gone before, the present harvest of abundance but also the future excitement of gardening plans and work.Saul returns with another episode from his back garden - at its peak of lushness much of what was foliage has now turned floral. Gingers, Brugmansia, Salvias, Begonias have burst forth with a range of hues and scent that makes September the month for the lush jungle gardens around the UK, and a last hurrah of many gardens before the colder weather begins the slow work of pruning and protection for the winter.  Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulLucy @HeadGardenerLCIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

If a person has to have a pulsometer inserted into their heart in order to receive health care, does that make them a whimperer? What about someone who whimpers out of ACCESSIBILITY issues? Is that also a whimperer trait? And what about someone who plants moneywort near the entrance of their home in order to win the affection of those living nearby? All of these are examples of traitorousness, and they are all punishable by death under the terms of the Laws of Linin.

Being Dutch has a few advantages: getting free plants is important! My mum was known for taking cuttings all over Europe when the Kleinpaste Family was on Holiday in their foldable campervan/tent. We returned to the Netherlands with heaps of propagation material in the car – there was barely room for us, kids, to sit on the back seat!  Mum was the gardener and she took cuttings – constantly experimenting.  This time of the year (before deciduous shrubs and trees start to roll out the leaves for next season) is a good time for taking hardwood and semi-hardwood cuttings.  Your archetypal stem cuttings (or shoot cuttings) are planted in some nice mixture of potting mix, pumice/sand which becomes a well-drained habitat for the roots to form;  There are many books and articles that can tell you and show you how to do that, but what strikes me as a minor miracle is the way plants literally change the function of their cells to create rootlets!  Plants are made of myriads of cells – each has a distinct function in the plant:  Executing photosynthesis, transporting fluids, transporting gases, turning into flowers, becoming fruits, or seeds… some become roots, others become shoots; Of course, a nice flat cluster of adjoining cells is known by gardeners as a LEAF .  But when you put a stem cutting into the mix, the cells suddenly create areas where they form roots  Yet a root cutting has cells that form brand-new shoots  And leaf cuttings (think Begonias, African Violets and Cacti!) have to produce ROOTS and STEMS!  So, all these cells can literally change their jobs and adapt to the new function, by simply creating new shapes.  Taking cuttings and the success there-of depends enormously on what species you are trying to propagate, so: experiment!  Take some hardwood cuttings and some semi-hardwood cuttings in one batch  Some species will work best with softwood cuttings – others are best propagated by Layering.  Rooting Hormones are often helpful (they come in softwood – medium hardwood – hardwood). There is evidence that Home-made “WillowWater” hormones are not as useful as some people think  (A story for another day, I expect)  Generalistics:  Take cuttings from HEALTHY Plants  Cuttings from young plants tend to root quicker  DORMANT hardwood cuttings best taken after autumn and before spring-warmth  Cuttings from FLOWERING twigs are often really HARD to strike; so: no flowering wood!!  Keep cuttings in a tunnelhouse/glasshouse or… create a miniature cloche with a plastic bag  Don't over-water the cuttings – just a little moisture is enough!  Leave some Leaves on the top of the cutting; trim the leaves from the bottom of the cutting  Difficult plants to propagate often need some “bottom heat” (25 degrees C)  And keep experimenting!!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I talk about begonias, most gardeners think of the wax begonias, ubiquitous in garden centers in spring. These are great bedding plants for shady spots in our yard. They're good in the ground and in containers. But there are many other begonias and can be great houseplants. These also flower, but some of the best houseplant types have attractive and interesting leaves. Angel wings begonias get their common name from the shape of their leaves. This is a cane stemmed begonia, meaning that it can grow large outdoors in a warm, humid area. As a houseplant, the stems are easily pruned and the plant kept in bounds. The leaves can often have silver markings and the plant produces beautifully contrasting, colorful red, pink or white flowers. Another indoor begonia that I love are the Rex begonias. These plants are grown mostly for the unique foliage. Some have red or pink variegated leaves with serrated edges. Others have green leaves that swirl on top of themselves giving the impression of a spiral of foliage. The plant stays a manageable 1 foot tall, can be pruned, but doesn't have impressive flowers. Grow these indoor begonias in a room with bright, indirect light. Keep the soil moist, but well drained. Too much water can cause the stems to rot. They like 70°F temperatures during the day with cooler nights. In winter it's important they have humidity. Place a humidifier in the room or place the plants on a pebble tray filled to the top of the pebbles with water. Don't mist the leaves or they may rot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Begonias have some of the most unique patterns, colors and shapes. Plus this plant has never ending varieties to collect with thousands of different hybrids!

Bethany is the artist, designer, maker and owner behind Bela Begonias. She was born into the Appalachian mountainside of eastern Tennessee, and later immersed in the vibrant culture of Asheville, North Carolina before finding her way to Nashville. Her art is an organic reflection of the mountainous landscapes from which she came, heavily influenced by nature, earth tones, the beach and ocean, the southwest and countless other wonders this incredible world creates. Bethany is a walking wanderlust, having spent years exploring the world at each opportunity given. Although she studied art, design and fashion in college, the courage to "be an artist" seemed unrealistic upon entering "the real world." After a decade of feeling like a round peg trying to fit into a square hole, in 2015, Bethany (with the undying support and true belief in skill from her loving husband) finally took her vision, studies, travels, ethos and experience and cultivated it into a single leap-of-faith that is now Bela Begonias. In this episode you with learn the important of patience as an entrepreneur, how to choose quality over quality, why a social media following doesn't always mean you'll successful, and how to build up enough confidence to put yourself out there to build relationships.
