Vous êtes-vous déjà retrouvés devant une «addition salée» ? Dans ce bar de Manchester, à l'hôtel Malmaison, un homme commande une bière puis, après avoir tapé son code de carte bancaire sur le terminal de paiement, s'étonne devant la mine déconfite de la serveuse… et son reçu à cinq chiffres.

There's an old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” By that count, artist Peter Waddell is a masterful storyteller. Beginning in 2004, the White House Historical Association commissioned the artist to create well-researched paintings to represent different periods from White House history that were not drawn, painted, or photographed definitively in their own times. The result is a collection of over a dozen pieces of artwork that capture lesser known moments of presidential life at the White House. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, spoke with Peter about how these moments were chosen, the meticulous research that went into these paintings, and how Peter is able to create works that transport viewers and students to another time and another place in American history. Stewart and Peter discuss three of his extraordinary paintings that are part of the White House Historical Association's collection:  A Vision Takes Form, 1796 about the construction of the White House; Tiber Creek: The Bathers which depicts a moment when President John Quincy Adams escaped a leaking boat; and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy at Malmaison, 1961 which shows Mrs. Kennedy visiting the home of Empress Josephine of France. The Empress's silk draped bed chamber appears to have inspired the redesign and decoration of the Blue Room at the White House during the Kennedy administration. You can view Peter Waddell's paintings for the White House Historical Association here.

Joining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaries is Richard Balfour-Lynn, co-founder of Balfour Winery in Kent. Following an education at Westminster School and the City of London Business School, Richard set up his first business at 24 years old – his early business interests ranged from Irish linen and lace to medical diagnostic centres and air conditioning companies, all with varying degrees of success and failure. In his late 20s, he began developing high end residential properties across Central London and later progressed into commercial property ranging from office buildings and shopping centres to leisure centres and hotels. During this time he was involved in the running of brands such as Malmaison, Hotel du Vin, DeVere, Liberty and Searcy's. In 2002, Richard and his wife Leslie decided to plant a vineyard in Kent for fun, and eight years later built their first winery on the Hush Heath Estate near Staplehurst in Kent. But, with the huge success of their first wine, Balfour Brut Rosé, what began as a passion project soon became a family business.  Today, Richard and Leslie offer an exceptional guest experience across 400 acres of pristine Kent countryside and within their winery and 200-seater tasting room. They also run the “Hush Heath Hospitality” group comprising a growing number of pubs with boutique hotel rooms across London, Kent and Sussex.You can find out more about Balfour Winery by following @balfourwinery on Instagram or visit balfourwinery.com.

Avec Marie-Charlotte Lamy, doctorante en histoire de l'art à l'université de Neuchâtel, autrice de la thèse "L'arche de Joséphine et la peinture zoologique dans la France postrévolutionnaire". Lamas, autruches, kangourous, zèbres, orangs-outans, oiseaux, bref, animaux de toutes espèces évoluent à la fin du 18ème siècle dans le parc du château de Malmaison de Joséphine Bonaparte. Comment l'impératrice les a-t-elle acquis? Quels traitements leur sont réservés? De quelles manières, et dans quel but, artistes et scientifiques les peignent et les représentent ?

Part of the joy of history is how resonant it often is. Imagine an ambitious if dysfunctional family with some minor claim to nobility in some far off backwater rising to power - to the highest office in the land - on the strength of a charismatic son known as much for his professional acumen as his arrogant, sometimes outrageous behavior. Welcome to revolutionary France! When the Italian-by-way-of-Corsica Bonaparte family arrived in France in 1779, when young Napoleon was 9, it set into motion a course of events that would change history. Trained in prestigious French military academies, Napoleon would become a military hero and an influential supporter of the French Revolution and the various governments that followed - including the ones that had nearly beheaded, and then released, Josephine de Beauharnais. It is a historical irony that Josephine, Empress of France, was not even Josephine until her relationship with Napoleon, and Beauharnais was her first husband's name. Napoleon didn't like her given name of Rose, so he changed it, and Josephine's first extremely unhappy marriage was ended by the revolutionaries' guillotine to her husband's neck. Born in colonial Martinique, Josephine made her way to France in place of her recently deceased sister, who had been betrothed to the Viscount of Beauharnais. Napoleon and Josephine had a passionate, if rocky, marriage that his family always detested. His mother referred to his wife in highly derogatory terms, and his brothers turned themselves into the Hardy Boys of Gossip Against Josephine. Napoleon's sisters hated Josephine as well, so it's a wonder that the couple made it 14 years. Still, once you go from Republican-leaning military officer to Emperor, you have to give your country an heir, and while Josephine entered the marriage with two children from her first, Napoleon had been notably childless both with her and his many mistresses. Then - like a miracle, and possibly through his own family's trickery - one of his mistresses gave birth to a baby he believed was his own! Josephine's time as his wife was clearly limited; they annulled their 14-year-long marriage in 1810, and Josephine lived out her days at the Chateau de Malmaison outside of Paris, tending a lavish garden of roses and remaining close to her former husband until her death in 1814.

Peste un milion de produse electorale au aterizat la un partid sârb de la o companie apropiată lui Sebastian Ghiță scrie Public Record, o nouă publicație de investigație lansată ieri în România...  Public Record a pornit la drum cu jurnaliștii Ana Poenariu, Codruța Simina, Bianca Albu, Sebastian Silvestru și data reporterul Ovidiu Mihalcea si  își propune să pregătească noi generații de jurnaliști, într-un moment în care presa este tot mai vulnerabilă.Stați cu ochii pe ei și citiți în această dimineață despre compania din România apropiată de Sebastian Ghiță care a livrat, în 2022, materiale de campanie electorală în valoare de aproape trei milioane de euro Partidului Progresist Sârb. Marfa a ajuns în Serbia înaintea campaniei electorale din aprilie, 2022, dar partidul sârb nu a declarat cheltuielile ca fiind electorale în rapoartele financiare anuale.De ce e important: Urmărit penal și trimis în judecată în mai multe cazuri de corupție, Sebastian Ghiță a făcut afaceri de milioane de euro cu statul român. Procurorii din România se chinuie de peste 20 de ani să-l trimită în spatele gratiilor.NewsletterulMisreport:George Simion a vorbit, într-un discurs electoral, despre cum sucevenii nu-și vor mai putea conduce mașinile din cauză că „Suceava s-a înscris în lista orașelor de 15 minute”. Factual a verificat afirmațiile lui și arată că sunt o colecție de minciuni și ipoteze conspiraționiste.Dacă va adera la UE, Moldova va fi anexată de România și o să dispară, susține deputatul socialist, Bogdan Țîrdea, un promotor al propagandei pro-Kremlin. Veridica.ro explică de ce afirmațiile acestuia sunt false.Contre între PSD și PNL pe tema salariului minim. Acesta ar urma să crească la 3.700 de lei brut. Mărirea salariului minim brut în an electoral a tensionat relațiile din coaliția de guvernare. Premierul a anunțat că a negociat cu mediul de afaceri o creștere a salariului minim la 3.700 de lei brut. PNL, prin vocea lui Ciucă, a replicat că nu știa nimic despre această decizie scrie SpotMedia.Industria muncii avertizează: „O nouă creștere a salariului minim ar intensifica presiunile asupra companiilor, în special în industriile cu marje mici de profit”. Între 30-35% din angajații români cu norma întreagă primesc salariul minim pe economie citim în Economedia.Statul se pregătește să distrugă Malmaison...... centrul artistic care „a explodat” în București. „Am putea renunța și la Muzeul Național de Artă, sigur s-ar găsi o bancă să închirieze clădirea”.Unul dintre cele mai importante fenomene din domeniul artelor vizuale petrecut în ultimii ani în România a fost deschiderea Atelierelor Malmaison: un fenomen care a devenit un epicentru cultural important nu doar pentru București, ci chiar pentru scena artistică regională.Vasile Ernu a discutat pentru Libertatea cu mai mulți dintre cei implicați.Interviu cu Ioana Burtea în podcastul Europa LiberăNu ratați nici podcastul Europa Liberă făcut de Adriana Nedelea cu jurnalista Ioana Burtea care vorbește la SmartJob despre traumă, abuz sexual, despre burnout și prietenie. Ioana Burtea lucrează în presă de 15 ani. A colaborat cu Mediafax, DoR și lucrează cu publicații internaționale. „Fără instrucțiuni de folosire” este volumul ei de debut și mărturisește că a durat opt ani să strângă poveștile din acest volum și să își adune curajul de a le scrie și publica.Eseul de la care a pornit cartea, „Vorbesc. Ca să nu știu doar eu”, descrie o traumă. Ioana Burtea a fost abuzată sexual, în copilărie, de propriul tată. Spune că, în România, nevoia discuțiilor despre traumă e foarte mare și e important să auzim cât mai multe povești personale, pentru că, în felul acesta, oamenii nu se vor mai simți singuri cu suferințele lor.

Część nieprzychylnych mu historyków tworzyło i do dziś tworzy legendę o hiperseksualności Bonapartego, trapiących go zaburzeniach seksualnych. Jak wyglądały jego relacje z płcią przeciwną, jego najważniejsze i brzemienne w skutkach także politycznych związki? Co po dwóch wiekach wiemy o sekretach alkowy pałaców Malmaison, Fontainebleau, a także naszego mazurskiego Kamieńca? Wszędzie tam gdzie Francuz podejmował liczne kochanki, płodził potomków, z których także i niektórzy, Ci o polskim rodowodzie żyją do dziś we Francji. No właśnie: ile dzieci w końcu miał Napoleon, czym była w istocie miłość i seksualność w czasach po wielkiej rewolucji i dlaczego pewien cenny fragment jego ciała bezpośrednio mający związek z tą historią został po śmierci odcięty i odnalazł się na aukcji pamiątek historycznych już w XX wieku.

Robert Cook is best known as a top hotelier, hospitality expert & CEO of some of the most respected brands in the world and more recently of TGI Friday's restaurant chain. No one is more well-versed in what it takes to be the man at the helm of some of the biggest and most powerful businesses out there, and in this incredible episode, he discusses his astounding career, as well as the recent battles that have shown him what it truly means to be bold and brave. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being bold and brave doesn't just extend to business. As a cancer-fighter, Robert knows that being bold and brave reaches far outside of just work, and into every corner of life. Life isn't always plain sailing. Challenges come at the most unexpected of times, and it's up to us to face them down and come out stronger. A positive mindset is so important. There's always a choice about how we look at a situation or choose to take action. Responding negatively can only derail us in the end. The best way leaders can lead, is by empowering our people to do the best job possible, and trusting them to carry our business values with them at all times. BEST MOMENTS 'You've got to be bold and brave for yourself, and for your family' 'One thing you've got to be is positive' 'Our job is to give them the tools to do the best job they can' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

 C'est en 1674 que les barbiers-perruquiers obtiennent par leur corporation le monopole des « ouvrages en cheveux tant pour hommes que pour femmes ». Comme de la passementerie, les   cheveux sont entrecroisés sur un carton avec des fuseaux comme pour la dentelle ou sur des métiers à tisser. Il y a même des catalogues de motifs ! Puis on rigidifie un peu le cheveu pour que le bijou ait de la tenue. Les cordons et les tresses peuvent être très serrés ou en tubulure suivant. On en fait toutes sortes de bijoux des boucles d'oreille au sautoir, des bracelets aux chaines de montres.   Les cheveux nécessaires à ces ouvrages viennent de femme modestes qui vendent leur chevelure aux marchands de cheveux sur les marchés. Mais c'était les personnes les plus aisées qui portaient ce genre de bijoux. Les fermoirs étaient ouvragés et en métal précieux avec des gemmes et de l'émail. Vers 1820 le bijou de cheveux devient vraiment très à la mode. C'est l'époque romantique et les amis comme les amants plébiscitent le bijou de sentiment. Offrir une mèche de ses cheveux est un geste très intime dont on démultiplie la valeur romantique en en faisant un bijou. Le bijou en cheveux utilisent les codes du sentiment comme les pensées ou les myosotis, le chien incarne la fidélité, et les messagers de l'amour :  tourterelles et colombes. Ces iconographies sentimentales font l'objet d'une broderie de cheveux, très délicate souvent au centre d'un médaillon précieux.    Le Médaillon de la reine Hortense (Musée de Malmaison) est une plaque de nacre sous verre où des cheveux forment une fine gerbe de blé. Au recto la gerbe de blé a un lien en or avec des brillants et au verso le lien est juste en or. La monture, ovale, est garnie au recto d'une rangée de points d'or en relief. le médaillon comporte un fermoir à cliquet et quatre anneaux pour accrocher le bijou en bracelet.   Pour la vignette du podcast j'ai choisi une bague en or où, sur une plaque en ivoire teintée rose, les noeuds d'éternité sont formés par deux mèches de cheveux entrelacées de la reine Marie-Antoinette et du roi Louis XVI qui a été vendu chez Christie's. Et en novembre 2018 c'est chez Sotheby's que s'est vendue une bague en cheveux tissés de Marie-Antoinette avec son monogramme en diamants taille rose lors des enchères d'une collection de bijoux royaux de la maison de Bourbon-Parme.   Si vous souhaitez un bijou en cheveux, préférez ceux qui sont en bon état car le métier a disparu et le bijou n'est donc pas réparable.    J'ai repéré chez Contessina une délicate broche en or avec une pensée romantique en cheveux sur fond de nacre, poinçonnée tête d'aigle et poinçon de maitre français, datée de 1881.   Il y a chez Maison Mohs, une jolie parure souvenir en or rose 14 carats au poinçon coquille saint Jacques. Le bracelet est composé d'un corps de 2 tresses de cheveux chatains reliées par un fermoir cliquet à l'élément central qui montre sous un verre bombé une mèche de cheveux tressée, entourée de 22 demi-perles. Il y a aussi une bague assortie avec le même motif central sur un fin corps épaulé d'une feuille stylisée en or rose.    A Poitiers, Baume propose une broche en argent de la seconde moitié du XIXe. Des branches avec feuille de lierre entoure le médaillon ovale où le motif de cheveux tressés repose sur une plaque de nacre avec au centre des initiales.   A Lille,  Le Bucher des Vanités propose plusieurs bijoux en cheveux. Une broche Napoléon III en vermeil entourée de rinceaux où la marqueterie de cheveux forme un décor de bouquet stylisé. Une chaine de 30 cm en cheveux tressé au fermoir au décor d'ancre de marine, coeur et croix en pomponne. Une large manchette en broderie de cheveux, avec un fermoir cliquet perlé en pomponne.   A Billère, au Rendez-vous des Artistes vous trouverez un bracelet de jeune fille en cheveux tressés fermé par un camée en corail sculpté sur pomponne.   Si comme moi vous aimez les bijoux en cheveux, je vous conseille les antiquaires et le site Proantic.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events   1830 Birth of Thomas Edward Brown, late-Victorian scholar, schoolmaster, poet, and theologian from the Isle of Man. Thomas was published under T.E. Brown, and here's a little excerpt from his poem called My Garden.  A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wot! Rose plot, Fringed pool, Fern'd grot— The veriest school Of peace; and yet the fool Contends that God is not— Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool? Nay, but I have a sign; 'Tis very sure God walks in mine.   1833 Birth of Richard Watson Dixon, English poet, and clergyman. Richard was the son of the clergyman, Dr. James Dixon. He's most remembered for that lyrical poem that begins. The feathers of the willow Are half of them grown yellow Above the swelling stream; And ragged are the bushes, And rusty now the rushes, And wild the clouded gleam.   But today, I thought I would share an excerpt from his little-known poem called The Judgement Of The May. Come to the judgement, golden threads upon golden hair in rich array; Many a chestnut shakes its heads, Many a lupine at this day, Many a white rose in our beds Waits the judgement of the May.   1890 Birth of Christopher Morley, American journalist, novelist, essayist, and poet. Christopher also produced plays and gave college lectures. And in addition to all of that, He wrote little sayings, like The trouble with wedlock is that there's not enough wed and too much lock.   And he also wrote Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.   And then finally, here's a Christopher Marley quote on spring. April prepares her green traffic light, and the world thinks: Go.   1921 Birth of Mavis Lilian Batey, English Codebreaker and garden historian. Mavis served as an English Codebreaker during World War II, and her unique skillset broke the German enigma code, which allowed the allied forces to stage their D-Day invasion. Mavis became a champion for forgotten, yet historically significant, English gardens. She also helped establish garden history as an academic specialty. In 1955, Mavis and her Codebreaker husband, Keith, settled on a farm in Surrey. It was this property that sparked Mavis's passion for landscape history. After moving to Oxford, Mavis and her family lived in a fantastic park designed by Capability Brown. The park was also home to a garden designed by William Mason in 1775. Mavis recalled, We lived in the agent's house right in the middle of Capability Brown Park. But it was William Mason's garden that really got me. We had to cut our way into it. It was all overgrown and garden ornaments were buried in the grass. I knew at once it wasn't just an ordinary derelict garden. Someone had tried to say something there.   Mavis Batey used her wit and determination to become a force in numerous conservation organizations and missions. In 1985, Mavis was honored with the RHS Veitch Memorial Medal for her invaluable work, preserving gardens that would otherwise have been lost to time.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Magical World of Moss Gardening by Annie Martin  This book came out in 2015, and Pacific Northwest magazine said this about Annie's book: Instead of eradicating this deer-resistant, pest-resistant, rootless, stemless, wonder of a plant, Annni Martin tells us how to encourage and cultivate it.   Well, mosses are near and dear to many gardeners' hearts, and there have been many gardeners who try to grow and cultivate moss to no avail. And that's because moss has some special requirements. Annie writes, In my own garden, I feel angst when mosses is dry out and I obsessively respond to my compelling desire to give them a rejuvenating drink.  And as they begin the saturation process, I regain my own glowing state. As I watch leaves swiftly unfold and colors, magically intensify.   In addition to being mesmerizing, there are many reasons to pursue moss gardening. There are also many environmental benefits. Moss can be a lawn substitute - depending on where you live and your garden set up. If you have a shady property, you should definitely look into mosses as an option.  Mosses are super carbon sequesters. They're great at erosion control and flood mitigation - and they have a built-in filtration system, which means that moss can help reclaim land in locations where cleanup is needed. Now, if Annie's name sounds familiar, it's because she is a moss expert. Her nickname is Mossin' Annie, and she's the proud owner of Mountain Moss Enterprises. I appreciate books like this because you have a true subject matter expert acting as your guide. Annie will help you identify dozens of Moss species, and she'll teach you how to propagate moss successfully. (This is something most gardeners want to know how to do).  Finally, Annie is a master when designing and installing moss gardens. This book is 240 pages of down-to-earth advice on mosses in the garden. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a newbie, you will feel extra confident about utilizing moss - the tremendous green ground cover - with Annie as your guide.   You can get a copy of The Magical World of Moss Gardening by Annie Martin and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $13.   Botanic Spark 1821 Death of Napoleon Bonaparte, French military and political leader who ended up ruling over much of continental Europe Last year was the 200th anniversary of his death. One account of Napoleon's final moments reported that,  [He died during a terrible thunderstorm that] shook the house to its foundations and would have alarmed everyone but for the all-absorbing tragedy of Napolean's departure.   In 1815 after his stunning defeat in the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was forced into exile in the south Atlantic on a little island called St. Helena. A few years before his death, Napoleon became convinced that he was dying of stomach cancer. His doctor Francoise Antommarchi ("Ahn-toe-MAR-she"), the man that would take his death mask, prescribed, among other pursuits, gardening - specifically digging in the garden. And so, on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon briefly took up gardening — and he loved it. Naturally, Napoleon wanted everyone around him - except the ladies - to join him in the garden at Longwood. There, he grew every type of vegetable that thrived on the island. Napoleon installed grottoes, alleys, and paths. And he transplanted trees and improved the soil with manure. When he worked in the garden, history tells us that Napoleon wore a loose-fitting dress and a straw hat. And at one point, Napoleon actually shot Count Bertrand's goat because it was eating his plants. In 2021, the historian Ruth Scurr wrote a short but delightful biography of Napoleon told through the lens of his interest in gardening and naturalism, and it's called Napoleon: A Life Told in Gardens and Shadows. Ruth believes that gardens were important to Napoleon all through his life. But at St. Helena in particular, he was especially motivated to garden after his doctor pointed out that he could create sunken paths to avoid the watchful gaze of his guards: British soldiers. Naturally, it was mostly Napoleon's people who did most of the digging. And although Napoleon's experiment with gardening was fleeting, Longwood House still grows a variety of plants planted by the emperor himself. Now in her book, Ruth also tells a touching story about Napoleon's brief return to Malmaison after his defeat at Waterloo. Malmaison was soothing to the emperor, and it was a place full of memories of his beloved Josephine. Her gardens were filled with fragrant roses and colorful blossoms like Dahlia's long after her death. The painter Pierre Joseph Redouté was a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte and Marie Antoinette. Still, Redouté's paintings of Josephine's flowers at Malmaison are among his most beautiful works. In Ruth Scurr's garden biography of Napoleon, she wrote: The 26th of June [1815] was a very hot day. Napoleon spent it at Malmaison reminiscing about the past. He walked up and down with his hands behind his back in what had once been his personal garden, just outside the library. He also lingers among exotic trees that Josephine has always insisted on planting herself. There were honey locusts, cedars of Lebanon, apple trees, and tulip trees. He visited Josephine's grand greenhouse and remembered there how she checked her tropical flowers every day. It was indeed a grand greenhouse.    Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Employee Wellbeing has become a crucial part of recruitment strategy within the past two years. As hospitality workers suffered for a variety of reasons during the pandemic, HR departments had to adapt by discovering the needs of their employees and acting on that information in an empathetic way. Malmaison du Vin was one of the 15 winners in the Employee Wellbeing category. Lancelot Narayan spoke to Kate Lees, Head of HR at Malmaison about their win, Malmaison's Mental Health and Wellbeing Policy and Strategy, how the pandemic and lockdown affected team members, and the amazing results Malmaison continues to have.   Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram: @Catererdotcom

This week we take a look at Britain's wine boom and how it is impacting the land market. British sparkling wine in particular has been portrayed as one of the wine world's big success stories.

A fearless explorer, he spent fifteen years botanizing along the Amazon river. Toward the end of his journey, he managed to smuggle out cinchona saplings, which were a promising treatment for malaria. He was most fascinated by small plants - unassuming mosses and liverworts. He wrote, I like to look on plants as sentient beings... which beautify the earth during life, and after death may adorn my herbarium… September 10, 1825  On this day, French King Charles X honored the Belgian painter, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, with the Legion of Honor. To test his skills, Queen Marie Antoinette once summoned Redouté in the middle of the night and ordered him to paint a cactus. He did. Redouté was also a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte and her flowers at Malmaison are the subjects of his most beautiful work. A master painter of lilies and roses, Redouté was known as "the Raffaele of flowers." September 10, 1855  Birth of Robert Koldewey, German archaeologist. He supposedly discovered the location of one of the Seven Wonders of the World - the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon in southern Iraq. He also found the famous Ishtar Gate (1902), which he cut into pieces and smuggled to the Pergamon Museum in Berlin where it remains to this day. Despite working for over two decades, the Hanging Gardens site was only half-excavated when he was forced to leave the country in 1917. His discovery of the gardens has since been refuted. September 10, 1870  Birth of Lilian Gibbs, British botanist. When she wasn't working at the British Museum in London, she was going on expeditions. She was the first woman and botanist to ascend Mount Kinabalu (Borneo) in February 1910. She discovered many new plants and is remembered by many plant names including Racemobambos gibbsiae ”rass-ih-MOE-bam-bos Gibbs-ee-ay" (Miss Gibbs' Bamboo). September 10, 1903  Birth of Cyril Connolly, English literary critic and writer. In The Unquiet Grave, he wrote: Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness than the daffodils. September 10, 1981  On this day, the Lancaster New Era (Pennsylvania) featured a story about the impact of hormones on plant growth: South African botanists discovered that a birth control pill pushed into the soil next to a plant stem can produce dramatic effects on growth and improve foliage. Research has shown that hormones in the pill accelerate fertilization and development of plants.   Unearthed Words Agapanthus and peonies in June. Scented stock and sweet peas in July. Sunflowers and sweet William in August. By the time September's oriental lilies and ornamental cabbages appeared, she wasn't hiding upstairs in the workroom anymore. She was spending more time in the shop, answering the phone, dealing with the customers. One Sunday she spent the afternoon at an allotment belonging to a friend of Ciara's, picking lamb's ear and dusty miller and veronica for a wedding, and didn't think about Michael once, but she kept remembering a Patrick Kavanagh poem she'd learned at school, the one about how every old man he saw reminded him of his father. ― Ella Griffin, The Flower Arrangement   Grow That Garden Library The Well-Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is The Restorative Power of Nature. Before this book came out in 2020, I don't think Sue had any idea just how timely this book was going to be. I remember when Sue's book was finally released, I heard an interview with her and also an urban gardener in California. The two of them together talked about the importance of gardening and for so many people who were really suffering at home during the pandemic, gardening became a way of coping - along with pets. A lot of people got pets during the pandemic. This is why it was so hard to adopt a pet on Petfinder - or source plants and seeds. In fact, we're still struggling with the repercussions of that particular year because growers not only sold their plant inventory for  2020, they often borrowed against some of the plant material that they were saving for 2021. Of course, many of us know the healing power of gardens. But what I loved about Sue Stewart Smith is her unique take on all of this. Sue approaches gardens from her area of expertise, which is psychology. And it's helpful that Sue is also a passionate gardener herself. Now I love this aspect of gardening - their power to heal and help us - and I could do a deep dive on this all day. I love talking about it. I love reading about it. What I really like about Sue's book is that she offers endless examples of the power of gardening and its impact on our brains, on our thinking, on our ability to be happier, to continue to process and learn and grow, etc. It's so, so powerful. Now it's been over a year since this book has been out. So if you're looking for used copies, there are definitely some available on Amazon. This book is 352 pages of garden power - the power to heal, restore, and save us. You can get a copy of The Well-Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith  and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $10   Today's Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart September 10, 1806  On this day, the botanist David Hosack wrote to Thomas Jefferson at Monticello about Lewis and Clark. He was hoping to gain access to any potential plant discoveries on the expedition: If, sir, the gentlemen who are at present on their travels to Missouri discover any new or useful plants I should be very happy in obtaining a small quantity of the seeds.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Parce que chaque semaine qui commence est un nouveau départ, j'avais envie de vous lire une histoire, alors je vous propose le bijou comme un bisou du dimanche soir.    « Je vais me coucher, ma petite Joséphine, le cœur plein de ton adorable image, et navré de rester tant de temps loin de toi ; mais j'espère que, dans quelques jours, je serai plus heureux et que je pourrai à mon aise te donner des preuves de l'amour ardent que tu m'as inspiré. Tu ne m'écris plus ; tu ne penses plus à ton bon ami, cruelle femme ! Ne sais-tu pas que sans toi, sans ton coeur, sans ton amour, il n'est pour ton mari ni bonheur, ni vie. Bon Dieu ! Que je serais heureux si je pouvais assister à l'aimable toilette, petite épaule, un petit sein blanc, élastique, bien ferme ; par-dessus cela, une petite mine avec le mouchoir à la créole, à croquer. Tu sais bien que je n'oublie pas les petites visites ; tu sais bien, la petite forêt noire. Je lui donne mille baisers et j'attends avec impatience le moment d'y être. Tout à toi, la vie, le bonheur, le plaisir ne sont que ce que tu les fais.  Vivre dans une Joséphine, c'est vivre dans l'Élysée. Baiser à la bouche, aux yeux, sur l'épaule, au sein, partout, partout ! »     Cette déclaration brulante de passion est écrite par Napoléon à Joséphine de Vérone, le 1er Frimaire, an V c'est-à-dire le 21 novembre 1796.      Parce que cette semaine je vais vous emmener dans les dessous joailliers d'une partie de l'histoire de France et de l'amour qui lie les êtres, les bijoux et leur destin.     Il était une fois Joséphine, Napoléon, une histoire (extra)ordinaire.    Par la suite, on le sait, c'est Joséphine qui s'efface, pour donner au trône la chance d'avoir un héritier. Napoléon, s'il n'est plus l'amoureux brulant des débuts, l'aime encore au point de lui conserver, son rang, son titre, son domaine de la Malmaison et toutes ses collections.     Voici sa lettre de 1809 gardée aux archives nationales : « Avec la permission de notre auguste et cher époux, je dois déclarer que ne conservant aucun espoir d'avoir des enfants qui puissent satisfaire les besoins de sa politique et l'intérêt de la France, je me plais à lui donner la plus grande preuve d'attachement et de dévouement qui ait été donnée sur la terre. Je tiens tout de ses bontés ; c'est sa main qui m'a couronnée, et du haut de ce trône, je n'ai reçu que des témoignages d'affection et d'amour du peuple français. Je crois reconnaître tous ces sentiments en consentant à la dissolution d'un mariage qui désormais est un obstacle au bien de la France, qui la prive du bonheur d'être un jour gouvernée par les descendants d'un grand homme si évidemment suscité par la Providence pour effacer les maux d'une terrible révolution et rétablir l'autel, le trône, et l'ordre social. Mais la dissolution de mon mariage ne changera rien aux sentiments de mon cœur : l'empereur aura toujours en moi sa meilleure amie.

Mission encre noire Tome 31 Chapitre 358. La désidérata par Marie-Hélène Poitras paru en 2021 aux éditions Alto. Alouette, gentille alouette, Alouette, je te plumerai. Aliénor sourit malicieusement, elle a soif de justice. Depuis le bois, elle observe le domaine de Malmaison, elle, qui fait jaillir la vie animale et végétale de ses mains. Un lourd secret entoure le village de Noirax. Un silence drape l'héritage de la lignée des pères Berthoumieux, tous, l'exacte réplique du même homme. Les alcools et la bonne chair ne font qu'illusion, l'éternel souvenir de la dernière épouse repose dans la maison aux parfums, fermée à double tour sur une vérité qui dérange et menace. Pampelune, la bougresse, Héléna, la Pimparela, connaissent bien le cycle des amours déçus, des chagrins qui rongent, des enfants illégitimes. D'espoirs en défaites, c'est une rengaine d'une grande tristesse. Cependant, la rumeur se propage au village, le charme d'Aliénor agit comme un puissant parfum et se répand comme une fièvre. Le fils Berthoumieux s'en émoustille déjà. Un nouveau règne est en marche. Presque dix ans après la publication de Griffintown, Marie-Hélène Poitras lève le rideau sur ces voix que l'on tente de bâillonner. Je vous propose de nous faufiler au travers des secrets entortillés autour des racines de cette forêt et d'en animer ses marionnettes d'une main tremblante.

Extrait:« Il y a quelques années, quand Jeanty avait quatorze ans, une nuit alors que son père dormait, il était monté au grenier et était tombé nez à nez avec un grand miroir ovale sur pied.

En plus de la couleur des yeux et du nez aquilin, sur son visage les traits distinctifs des Berthoumieux commençaient à l'emporter sur la douceur de ceux de Pampelune. Le duvet au-dessus de sa lèvre, la carrure plus marquée des épaules, l'élargissement du muscle trapèze et, surtout, ce je-ne-sais-quoi d'un peu débile que les pères Berthoumieux affichaient sur leur portrait, tous ces attributs étaient en train de poindre en lui. Le constat était inévitable, la transformation bien amorcée: il ressemblait à son père. N'en pouvant plus, Jeanty tourna la psyché à l'envers.

En este programa visitamos el famoso Castillo de Fontainebleau, “la residencia de los reyes de Francia”, y el Castillo de la Malmaison, lugares que guardan todavía hoy un estrecho vínculo con Napoleón y con su primera esposa. Conoceremos también un poco más sobre la emperatriz Josefina, su aporte a las artes, la moda y la botánica. El Castillo de Fontainebleau está íntimamente ligado a los reyes de Francia y a Napoleón Bonaparte. Al momento de ser declarado Emperador, en 1804, Napoleón 1º tenía apenas 35 años. Decidió entonces hacer de Fontainebleau una de sus residencias, y así este palacio, en ruinas luego de la Revolución, se convirtió en un emblema del hombre de Estado, el general y el promotor de las artes que fue Napoleón. “Napoleón descubrió este castillo poco después de haber sido consagrado Emperador, en 1804. E inmediatamente quedó impresionado por la belleza del lugar, aunque el castillo estaba en muy mal estado de conservación. Napoleón tuvo la idea de vivir aquí, en lo que él mismo llamó “la Casa de los Reyes”, la “Casa de los siglos”. Para él era una manera de inscribir su nombre en la tradición de los Valois y los Borbones, es decir, los reyes que se sucedieron en este lugar”, explicó a RFI el director del patrimonio y de las colecciones, Castillo de Fontainebleau, David Guillet. En Fontainebleau, puede visitarse la Sala del Trono, una sala que existía desde la época de los Borbones. Napoleón solo la remodeló para convertirla en un espacio de recepción y de trabajo e introdujo dos símbolos particulares: el águila, recordando el imperio romano; y las abejas, que simbolizan el reinado napoleónico. El Castillo de Fontainebleau fue también el escenario de la adbicación del Emperador, ocurrida en 1814. “El Salón de la Abdicación se ha mantenido casi intacto desde entonces. Todavía tenemos los muebles originales, tapizados de rojo, y una mesita donde firmó el acta de la abdicación. Sabemos además que antes de firmar, Napoleón intentó suicidarse para no vivir esa humillación, aunque luego decidió aceptar la abdicación definitiva”, agregó Guillet. Un Museo dedicado a Napoleón 1º En Fontainebleau existe un museo dedicado exclusivamente al Primer Imperio, con una colección excepcional de objetos de este período de 10 años de reinado de Napoleón, y en especial un accesorio característico de Bonaparte, su emblemático bicornio. “Napoleón habría sido el primer sorprendido si supiera que su imagen pasó a la historia como la de un hombre con un bicornio. Este sombrero de dos picos era de fieltro, y Napoleón encargaba cuatro ejemplares por año a Poupard, el fabricante oficial del Emperador. Tenemos la suerte en Fontainebleau de tener estas dos piezas originales, donadas por la familia Imperial. Pero hay otros muchos bicornios en el mundo, y no todos son auténticos”, detalló el conservador del Museo Napoleón 1º, Christophe Beyeler. Beyeler explicó que la leyenda napoleónica es posterior a Bonaparte y nació en la boca de los soldados que pelearon en su ejército. “Piense Usted, en todos esos veteranos del Gran Ejercito, que quedaron lisiados, inválidos, mutilados. Aquellos que solo podían rememorar las anécdotas de esos países que recorrieron con Napoleón, se dedicaron a narrar esas epopeyas. Esos lisiados realzaron lo que habían vivido y se ocuparon de difundir por doquier esas historias”, concluyó Beyeler. Malmaison, el castillo de Josefina y Bonaparte A 12 km de París, se encuentra el Castillo de la Malmaison, un lugar que ha guardado un vínculo muy estrecho con Napoleón, y sobre todo con su esposa, la emperatriz Josefina. Este castillo, rodeado de vegetación, fue una de las residencias privadas de la pareja imperial, aunque fue también el escenario de importantes decisiones políticas. “Ellos se casaron en 1796. Tres años después, cuando Napoleón dirigía la campaña de Egipto, Josefina, visitó este Castillo muy cerca de París, se quedó prendada de él y decidió comprarlo. Cuando Napoleón regreso a Francia, se puso furioso, le pareció era un gasto excesivo. Sin embargo, Napoleón terminó apreciando el lugar y convirtiéndolo en un lugar de trabajo. Malmaison se convirtió en luego en la propiedad personal de Josefina cuando se pronunció el divorcio, en 1809”, aseguró Elisabeth Caude, la directora del Castillo de la Malmaison. Bonaparte hizo construir una Sala del Consejo, donde se llevaron a cabo cientos de reuniones políticas y diplomáticas muy importantes. “Cuando Napoleón se convirtió en Primer Cónsul, emprendió una tarea faraónica: la reforma administrativa de Francia. Encargó entonces un lugar de trabajo y los arquitectos decidieron crear una oficina en forma de carpa militar. Las paredes y techo son de tela, hay las lanzas cruzadas y en las puertas vemos pinturas de trofeos de armas que recuerdan a los pueblos guerreros de la antigüedad”, agregó Caude. La Emperatriz Josefina, una apasionada de las artes, la moda y la botánica Josefina de Bauharnais, primera esposa de Napoleón Bonaparte. De este matrimonio civil se guarda el recuerdo de una tormentosa pasión que comenzó cuando él tenía 26 años y ella 32. Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la Pagerie era viuda con dos hijos. Napoleón la rebautizó Josefina para evitar llamarla “Rose”, como lo hicieron los numerosos amantes que ella colecciono. Fueron 13 años de matrimonio con Bonaparte, comenzados con un intenso amorío que se desvaneció entre infidelidades. Al proclamarse Emperador, en 1804, Napoleón se permitió coronar él mismo a Josefina Emperatriz. El matrimonio duró apenas 5 años más y en 1809 la pareja se separó sin haber tenido descendencia. Pero ese corto período le permitió a Josefina ser lo que hoy llamaríamos una “influencer” en las artes, la moda y la botánica, que no escatimaba en gastos. En Francia y en cortes europeas su estilo fue precursor a tal punto que todavía hoy se le llama “vestido imperio” a las prendas con cortes popularizados por Josefina, que se ceñían bajo el busto. Introdujo numerosas especies florales en Francia y una variedad de cisnes negros que aún vive en el Castillo de Malmaison, donde falleció en 1814.

"Today we are at French Camp, Mississippi on our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez to Nashville. "The French Canadian, Lewis LeFleur, established the stand of French Camp along the old Natchez Trace in 1812. He married Rebecca Cravat, a French-Choctaw woman. Their son, Greenwood LeFlore, became a District Chief of the Choctaw Indians, and in the fall of 1830 was principal negotiator at the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek where the last of the Choctaw lands were traded away to the United States. In this treaty the Choctaw were given three years in which to leave Mississippi, but any Choctaw who would agree to submit to the white man's law could stay and receive 640 acres of land -- at least that was in principle, but in practice land agents made it very difficult for the Indians to stay and claim their land. LeFlore on the other hand was granted 2,500 acres of land for his role in the negotiations and others who negotiated for the Choctaw received similar rewards. "LeFlore became a wealthy plantation owner near the city of Greenwood, Mississippi which was named for him. The county too was named for him, LeFlore, county. He built a beautiful antebellum mansion there, Malmaison, and served as a member of the Mississippi Senate. "Join us next time when we'll travel on up the parkway and visit Jeff Busby Park. I'm Frank Thomas, your guide along the Natchez Trace, a road through the wilderness." For more about Natchez Trace: A Road Through the Wilderness, visit eddieandfrank.com

Het verhaal dat begint op Elba en eindigt op Sint Helena. De slag van Waterloo daartussen. Maar Johan op de Beeck heeft het vooral over de veldslagen die Napoleon in zijn hart heeft moeten voeren. In zijn hart was er altijd plaats voor 3 vrouwen: Marie Louise, de moeder van zijn zoontje, Maria Walewska, de vrijgevochten aristocrate uit Polen en Josephine natuurlijk. Joséphine is overleden op het moment dat hij op Elba zat. Een longontsteking was volgens de dokters de doodsoorzaak. Maar iemand anders zei dat ze gestorven was aan een gebroken hart. Ze hebben geen afscheid van elkaar kunnen nemen. Nadat Napoleon definitief verslagen is in Waterloo, in juni 1815, wil hij nog één keer Malmaison bezoeken, de plek waar hij met Joséphine zijn gelukkigste jaren heeft beleefd. Het lot heeft echter nog één liefde voor hem in petto.

Tous les samedis et dimanches dans la matinale week-end d'Europe 1, Laure Dautriche nous emmène à la rencontre de l'Histoire et du patrimoine français. Alors qu'on célébrera dans un mois les 200 ans de la mort de Napoléon, direction aujourd'hui le château de Malmaison où l'empereur et Joséphine ont vécu plusieurs années.

Redouté was born into a Flemish family of painters. His family made a living by creating paintings for the home and for the church. Today, Redouté is one of the most renowned flower painters of all time - he's a personal favorite of mine. And I love the stories about Redouté. One time when he was serving as an official royal draftsman, Redouté was summoned to appear before Queen Marie Antoinette. I like to imagine the excitement this caused - especially since the Queen sent her request around midnight. When Redouté appeared, the Queen asked him to paint her a cactus. She was exerting her control; Redouté needed to prove that the reports of his talent were real. He passed the test. Redouté was also a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte. In fact, Redouté’s paintings of Josephine’s flowers at Malmaison are among his most beautiful works.  And Redouté's work earned him a nickname; the Raffaele of flowers. Today, Redouté is best known for his paintings of lilies and roses (roses were his specialty). Now, if you'd like to really treat yourself or get a special gift for a gardener in your life, you should check out the book by Werner Dressendorfer called Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers.  This large coffee table book was released in September of 2018. As one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen, Dressendorfer’s book features 144 paintings by Redouté that were published between 1827 and 1833. And I must confess that this gorgeous book is one of my favorite books in my Botanical Library. Now when this book first came out, it retailed for $150. Last year, after mulling it over for a long time - mainly because of the price, I got myself an excellent used copy for $65. Today new and used copies of Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers by Werner Dressendorfer are being sold on Amazon for between $350 and $900.   January 14, 1865 Today is the anniversary of the death of the Belgian botanist, mycologist, and one of the first women plant pathologists, Marie-Anne Libert. Born in 1782, Marie-Anne was the twelfth of thirteen children in her middle-class family. Her parents immediately recognized her intellect, and they sent her to school in Germany when she was 11 years old. In addition to her general love of learning, Marie-Anne was fascinated by the natural world. So, Marie-Anne began botanizing, and she learned to classify her own specimens. Since most references available to her were written in Latin, Marie-Anne mastered Latin - all on her own. Now, Marie-Anne specialized in cryptograms - plants with no true flowers or seeds like ferns, mosses, liverworts, lichens, algae, and fungi ("fun-GUY").  And it was Marie-Anne's maniacal focus on cryptograms that paved the way for her to meet with top botanists of her day like Alexander Lejeune and Augustin Pyramis de Candolle. Today Marie-Anne Libert is remembered as the botanist who first identified the cause of “late blight” in potatoes. Thirty years later, Anton de Bary would continue where Marie-Anne left off - when he proved that potato blight - or late blight disease - is caused by a fungus-like organism that spreads rapidly in warm, humid weather. Blight can show up in the foliage of potatoes and outdoor tomatoes, and it will eventually cause the breakdown of the entire plant - including the potatoes and tomatoes. Informed gardeners can prevent late blight by strategically planting potatoes in a breezy spot - leaving plenty of space between plants. Potato plants can also be treated with a fungicide to ward off blight. As with tomatoes, it’s important to rotate crops to prevent the build-up of the disease in the soil.   Unearthed Words To many homeowners, the dandelion is little more than a prolific, pesky weed. However, this abundant yellow-flowering plant provides not only beauty but also food, drink, medicine, and even inspiration for poetry. Perhaps no one has praised the dandelion better than Wallace Nutting, the noted turn-of-the-century photographer and author. “The dandelion is the greatest natural agent of decoration in our part of America,” he wrote in Connecticut Beautiful in 1923. “In some fields, it is so abundant that there is no more than enough grass visible to give it a setting... It is so thoroughly at home that we feel it to be the most prominent and persistent native American, whatever its origin. Coming as it does in the early spring, it clothes an entire landscape with its gorgeous color and rejoices the heart of man... It is our tulip in the grass.” Among our thousands of species of wildflowers, the common dandelion may be the most common; probably, its only close competitor is the common chickweed. Not only are its numbers great, but its flowering season is one of the longest of any of our plants. I have seen plants blooming in every month of the year in Connecticut, though finding one in January or February is rare. — Jack Sanders, Hedgemaids and Fairy Candles, Common Dandelion   Grow That Garden Library A Taste for Nightshade by Martine Bailey This book came out in 2016, and this is a fiction book. In this book, Martine writes a thrilling historical novel set in Manchester in 1787. The book incorporates recipes, mystery, secrets, and conflict between two naïve young women named Grace and Mary. This book was Martine’s second book titled after a garden flower - her debut novel was the culinary-themed An Appetite for Violets. When Martine isn’t writing books, she’s an amateur cook who won the Merchant Gourmet Recipe Challenge and was a former Dessert Champion. Hence, the recipes in her books are amazing and a tasty treat to accompany her historical research. This book is 464 pages of revenge, rogues, recipes, and riveting plot points.

Want to know about pests, soil, or dying plants? Joe is only a phone call away... for a few more weeks.  Joe is retiring. Joe has been an area agent… for the LSU Agricultural Center/Extension Service since 1972. It was two days after high school graduation when Joe decided what he wanted to do with his life. Joe said,  "I enjoyed very much working with plants. It occurred to me early on that horticulture had a way of touching everybody's life." Joe was fresh from an LSU-Baton Rouge Ph.D. horticulture program when his job was created at the request of the city of Shreveport, and he was hired. He holds a B.S. in agricultural science from Tennessee Tech University and an M.S. in horticulture from the University of Tennessee. The area was lucky to get him. "His knowledge of horticulture is just astounding," said Dan Gill, with whom he co-wrote Louisiana Gardener's Guide.  “He makes me chuckle. I can't remember a conversation I've had with him that I haven't chuckled."  Joe founded a Cooperative Extension newsletter that he still edits called Pickles, Peaches, and Pansies. Joe educates through the Master Gardeners Program and Barnwell Horticultural Programs. When Joe first arrived, he received from 12,000 to 14,000 calls a year and visited homes and farms to help with soil problems and identify plants and their problems. Media work diminished the calls to 5,000 to 6,000 a year. Joe’s biggest challenge? He chuckled and said: "The one thing and this is crazy, but the one thing I seem unable to convince people to do is plant strawberries in the fall rather than in the spring! I've been harping on this for 28 years, and people still insist on planting them in the spring."  How has horticulture and gardening changed in 28 years? "More and more people can afford mechanical things like tillers...  We learned more about fertilizers.  We now have the slow-release types. In the case of native plants, people are searching for plant materials without having to protect from pests by using chemicals.  And I think people are more diet conscious, and herbs are an alternative."  His best advice to novice gardeners: “Get good sound information from a reliable source.  Follow guidelines for cultural practices for planting and use recommend varieties for the crops.  Remember, the All-American varieties have been tested nationwide and have met requirements to be elevated to that level.  Ask friends or neighbors what they have grown successfully, what particular variety. That is usually pretty reliable information."  Joe White at a Glance FAVORITE KIND OF GARDEN: Informal Southern style. FAVORITE PUBLIC GARDENS: Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pa., the summer estate of the DuPont family. "I was most impressed with it, the extensiveness of it. And the many different ornamentals, fruits and vegetables and including a huge indoor area that is landscaped. You'd think you were in the middle of Florida. There is a special children's garden. It was breathtaking."  TOOLS HE FEELS ARE INDISPENSABLE FOR A NOVICE GARDENER:  "There are three: hoe, shovel, and rake."  Joe gardens, growing mostly vegetables and fruit trees, also some natives, and annuals. He ticks off the wide range of vegetables he raises: "Definitely tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, okra, onions, sometimes some sweet potatoes, sometimes Irish potatoes, kale, cabbage, radishes, sometimes beets, broccoli, cauliflower, occasionally some squash, sometimes cantaloupe and sometimes watermelons."  He grows a hardy tangerine, apples, and pears, if he can beat the squirrels to them, muscadines, grapes, pomegranates, and figs. And even Joe White sometimes has problems with his garden. He said: "I am very human. That kind of helps me to identify with people when they come in with a problem. I don't know but that helps communication."  For Joe, leaving is bittersweet.  "I love what I do. I really never feel like I am coming to work. I come to serve."    Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Today we celebrate the Father of Paleobotany and the botanical illustrator honored by King Charles X. We'll learn about the botanical painter who got sick of painting flowers (he'd painted 800 of them) and the botanical illustrator who worked for Curtis's Botanical Magazine and Kew Gardens. Today’s Unearthed Words feature the hidden (and often unappreciated) transformations happening in our garden during January. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that helps us understand plant physiology through an intimate and entertaining memoir. I'll talk about a garden item that can help you propagate your house plants, and then we’ll wrap things up with the birth flowers of January. But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Curated Articles Horniman Museum's gardener Wes Shaw - Gardens Illustrated Horniman Gardens, Forest Hill, London - Spotlight: Wes Shaw "The last place that blew me away was GARDENS BY THE BAY in Singapore. Amazing conservatories, landscaping & planting - taking horticulture to a new level. While I was there, I saw gardeners abseiling down the side of green walls and volunteers using tweezers to pick over the beds. Gardens should continuously change and evolve. I never see the point of keeping something looking the same as it did at some point in the past. What’s the next big project task you’ll be tackling in the garden? We are planning a Winter Garden for an area of the Horniman Gardens that needs a bit of a refresh.”   High Society: The Expert’s Guide To Alpines Here's a great post from @AlysFowler featuring Richard Wilford - an alpine lover and head of design and collection support at the Royal Botanic Gardens @KewGardens. "What Richard doesn’t know about alpines isn’t worth knowing. 'We’ve got a very tall house to grow some very small plants' he jokes. Alpines are surprisingly easy and hardy and perfect for tricky corners and small plots. As their name suggests, alpines are from areas of high elevation, so they love full sun, cool roots, and cold nights." Check out Richard Wilford’s Five Easy Alpines: Sempervivum: will grow on sunny rocks, cracks in walls, and stony places. Put a little compost into the niches first, then nudge them in. Alpine pinks Dianthus alpinus: a tiny mat-forming evergreen with bright pink flowers. It likes free-draining conditions and suits pots, gravel path edges, and window boxes. Erinus alpinus, or alpine balsam: forms neat rosettes of narrow leaves and loves crevices. Campanula cochlearifolia (fairy thimbles or ear leaf flowers): Nodding blue flowers - Keep its feet well-drained. Phlox douglasii: A low-growing perennial - it grows in dry woodlands. It needs a dry winter, but good drainage and a sheltered spot by a wall will work.   Now, if you'd like to check out these curated articles for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1801 Today is the birthday of the French botanist and the Father of Paleobotany Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart ("Bron-yahr"). Adolphe-Théodore was born in Paris. His father, Alexander, was a geologist. There’s no doubt his father’s work helped Adolphe-Théodore become a pioneer in the field of paleobotany. A paleobotanist is someone who works with fossil plants. Plants have been living on the planet for over 400 million years. So, there are plenty of fossil plants to study and catalog. As one of the most prominent botanists of the 19th century, Adolphe-Théodore worked to classify fossil plant forms, and he did so even before Charles Darwin. Adolphe-Théodore’s work provided content for his book on the history of plant fossils in 1828. Adolphe-Théodore published his masterpiece when he was just 27 years old. Adolphe-Théodore’s writing brought him notoriety and gave him the moniker "Father of Paleobotany." He was also called the "Linnaeus of Fossil Plants." Adolphe-Théodore was not so much a fossil plant discover as he was a fossil plant organizer. He put fossil plants in order and applied principles for distinguishing them. In 1841, at the age of 40, Adolphe-Théodore received the Wollaston Medal for his work with fossil plants. It is the highest award granted by the Geological Society of London. It must have made his father, Alexander, very proud. Adolphe-Théodore was a professor at the Paris Museum of Natural History. He was the backfill for Andre Michaux, who had left to explore the flora of North America. Adolphe-Théodore's wife died young. They had two boys together, and when Adolphe-Théodore died, he died in the arms of his eldest son.   1825 King Charles X honored the Belgian botanical illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté with the Legion of Honor. To this day, Redouté is one of the most renowned flower painters of all time. Redouté was born into a Flemish family of painters. Growing up, his family supported themselves by creating paintings for the home and for the church. Redouté was an official court draftsman to Queen Marie Antoinette. One evening around midnight, she summoned him to appear before her, and she asked him to paint her a cactus. She was exerting her control; she wanted to see if Redouté was as talented as was reported. (He was.) Redouté also became a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte. Redouté’s paintings of her flowers at Malmaison are among his most beautiful works. Today, Redouté is best known for his paintings of lilies and roses. Roses were his specialty.  And, Redouté's work earned him a nickname; he was known as "the Raffaele of flowers.". Now, if you'd like to really treat yourself or get a special gift or a gardener in your life, you should check out the book by Werner Dressendorfer called Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers. This is a large coffee table book. It is probably one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen; again, it's called Redoute: A Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers. This book came out in September of 2018, and I finally just got myself a copy of it after mulling it over for over a year. the book features 144 paintings by Redouté that were published between 1827 and 1833. it's is truly one of my favorite books in my Botanical Library. When this book first came out, it retailed for $150. You can get new copies of Redouté: Selection of the Most Beautiful Flowers by Werner Dressendorfer and support the show - using the link in Today Show notes for $83. I managed to get an excellent used copy for $65. But, as I said, this is an investment piece, and it's also extraordinarily beautiful. I guarantee if you have this book sitting out, your visitors will be sure to comment, and they probably won't be able to resist looking through the beautiful paintings. Glorious.   1836 Today is the birthday of the botanical painter Henri Fantin-Latour (Fahn-tahn Lah-tur”). It's kind of humorous to me that we end up discussing Henri Fantin-LaTour today - right after Pierre Joseph Redoute - because Henri painted flowers as well. But, unlike Pierre Joseph Redoute, Henri got so sick of painting flowers that he could find no joy in doing it for the end of his career. All together, Henry painted well over 800 pictures of flowers over 32 years between 1864 and 1896. By the end of his career, the entire genre of still life flower painting was life-draining to him. He despised it. Yet, it's how he made a living, and many of his paintings bought to be displayed in homes. The painter James Whistler talked up Henri’s work so much that his flower paintings were quite famous in England. In fact, during his lifetime, he was better known in England as a painter than he was in his native France. Henri also painted portraits, as well as group portraits of Parisian artists, and he even painted imaginative compositions. He enjoyed painting portraits and his other creative work more than painting flowers. But, it was always the flower paintings that sold, and so he kept painting them to support himself.   1892 Today is the anniversary of the death of the exceptionally talented Scottish botanical illustrator Walter Hood Fitch. He was 75 years old. Fitch was one of the most prolific botanical artists of all time. His illustrations were stunning, and he used vivid colors for his work. In 1834, Walter began working for William Hooker. Hooker was the editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Walter's very first published plate was of a Mimulus Rose. He didn’t know it then, but it was one down, and he had over 2,700 more to go. Hooker loved Walters’s work because his paintings reflected the way the plants appeared in real life; they weren't fanciful or embellished, yet they were beautiful. In short order, Walter became the sole artist for the magazine. When Hooker became the director of Kew, the promotion meant moving to London. He talked Walter into moving, too. Pretty soon, Walter was not only making illustrations for the magazine but for everything published at Kew. At the end of his career, around the age of 60, Walter got into a disagreement with William Hooker’s son, Joseph Dalton Hooker, over his pay. Walter left his post at Kew and became a freelancer. During his lifetime, Walter created over 12,000 illustrations that found their way to publication in various works.   Unearthed Words There is a famous saying, slow as molasses in January. We often think nothing is happening in our gardens during the winter, As Alfred Austin said in his poem, Primroses (Primula vulgaris): Pale January lay In its cradle day by day Dead or living, hard to say. But this belief that January is a dead time in the garden… well, nothing could be further from the truth. Today's Unearthed Words are all about the productivity that takes place in our gardens in January.   January is the quietest month in the garden. ... But just because it looks quiet doesn't mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come.   — Rosalie Muller Wright, Editor, Sunset Magazine   Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart.  She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again, fairer and stronger.  She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth. — Hugh Macmillan, Scottish Minister & Naturalist, 1871   Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed The speculating rooks at their nests cawed And saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass, What we below could not see, Winter pass. —  Edward Thomas, British Poet     "You think I am dead," The apple tree said, “Because I never have a leaf to show- Because I stoop, And my branches droop, And the dull gray mosses over me grow! But I'm still alive in trunk and shoot; The buds of next May I fold away- But I pity the withered grass at my root." "You think I am dead," The quick grass said, "Because I have parted with stem and blade! But under the ground, I am safe and sound With the snow's thick blanket over me laid. I'm all alive, and ready to shoot, Come dancing here- But I pity the flower without branch or root." "You think I am dead," A soft voice said, "Because not a branch or root I own. I have never died, but close I hide In a plumy seed that the wind has sown. Patient, I wait through the long winter hours; You will see me again- I shall laugh at you then, Out of the eyes of a hundred flowers." — Edith Matilda Thomas, American Poet   Grow That Garden Library A Garden of Marvels by Ruth Kassinger The subtitle to this book is: How We Discovered that Flowers Have Sex, Leaves Eat Air, and Other Secrets of Plants This book came out in April of 2015. Ruth Kassinger didn’t always have a green thumb. in this book, she'll tell you that until she completely understood how plants actually worked, she couldn't know precisely what they needed. Her story starts this way, “This book was born of a murder, a murder I committed.” The victim - it turns out-was a beloved kumquat tree. Ruth had decided to prune it. Her efforts made the tree turn brittle and brown. It made her wonder: Why did the kumquat die when a rose bush and a crepe myrtle that was pruned the very same way were both thriving? The dilemma is what made Ruth begin a quest to understand more about plant physiology. This book is part memoir and part science-class. Ruth writes with a friendly voice. This book is a beautiful way to learn basic botany - the marvel of flowers, roots, stems, and leaves. While we're learning botany from Ruth, we also get to know her personal stories. Ruth shares how she learned to become a better gardener. Initially, Ruth made the same mistakes we all make: over-watering, under fertilizing, making untrue assumptions about what plants need. You can get a used copy of A Garden of Marvels by Ruth Kassinger and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for under $5.   Great Gifts for Gardeners 3-Bulb Vase (Plant Terrarium) with Wooden Stand Retro Wooden Frame -3 Glass Plant Vases - for Desktop Rustic wood and vintage design, these decorative glass vases are perfect for propagating plants like hoya, pathos, Swedish Ivy, etc. It is a gorgeous plant prop for your home.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate both. Carnations Carnations are some of the world's oldest flowers. They have been cultivated for over 2000 years. The Greeks and Romans used them and garlands Carnations are part of the Dianthus family. Their Latin name is Dianthus caryophyllus. The etymology of the word Dianthus is from two Greek words. Dios means Divine, and Anthos means Flower. And, the translation of dianthus means "Flower of the Gods." Carnations have different meanings based on their color. White carnations symbolize good luck and pure love. Pink carnations represent admiration, and a dark red carnation represents affection and love. Snowdrops January’s other birth flower is the Snowdrop (Galanthus). Snowdrops were named by Carl Linnaeus, who gave them the Latin name Galanthus nivalis, which means "milk flower of the snow." Snowdrop is a common name. They were also known as Candlemas Veils because they typically bloom around Candlemas or February 2nd. Snowdrops are an indicator flower signaling the transition from winter into spring. Thus, the meaning of a Snowdrop blossom is Hope. The word Galanthophile is the name given to people who love snowdrops. And here's a Fun Fact: a substance extracted from snowdrops is used to treat Alzheimer's Disease.  

“Çiçeklerin Raphael’i” olarak anılan, Pierre-Joseph Redouté’un hikayesi var bu programda. Josephine Bonaparte’ın sadık ressamı; Malmaison bahçesindeki bütün gülleri, şakayıkları; bitki kaşiflerinin Paris bahçelerine taşıdığı neredeyse bütün gösterişli, nadir ve egzotik bitkileri çizmiş, kayda düşmüş.

This look at Napoleon's Paris focuses on the Emperor himself and the buildings most closely connected with him: the Arc de Triomphe, begun under his own instructions in 1805 to mark his victory at Austerlitz; the Invalides, where not just his hat and his field equipment, but also his imposing tomb are on display; and the lovely Château de Malmaison, the country retreat he bought for Josephine a few miles out of the city. We examine his legacy too, the changes he made to Paris, and, most illuminatingly, his own remarks in praise of his glories and success! https://www.citybreakspodcast.co.uk

Irises are in full bloom right now. Although, there are around 300 species of iris, Bearded Iris and Siberian Iris are two of the most common types of irises grown. Iris takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow. During the Middle Ages, irises were linked to the French monarchy, and theFleur-de-lis is now a national symbol of France.     Brevities #OTD    It was on this day in 1820, that the botanist Joseph Banks died in England.   Banks is best known for his study of Australian flora and faunaIn his role as botanist on board The Endeavor with Capt. James Cook.   When banks return to England, he advised George III on on the creation of the Royal botanic Garden, also known as Kew.       #OTD   Twenty years after the death of Joseph Banks, the "Raphael of flowers," Pierre-Joseph Redouté died.   He was known for his watercolors of roses and lilies.He's often referred to as the greatest botanical illustrator of all time.   He was an official court draftsmen to Queen Marie Antoinette. One evening around midnight, she summoned him to appear before her and she asked him to paint her a cactus.   He also became a favorite of Josephine Bonaparte and his paintings of her flowers at Malmaison are among his finest works.       #OTD   It was on this day in 1872 that the English horticulturalist, landscape designer, and botanist Theodore Payne was born.   He made his way from England to California.  And, he was an early advocate for California native plants.   He started his own seedling business In 1903 in downtown Los Angeles.   His specialty was California native wildflower seeds, bulbs, and plants.   Payne was involved in the creation of many native plant gardens. In 1939, he created one at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, using 178 plant species and all were native to California.   It was Theodore Payne who said,   "Be a good Californian; be loyal to your own state and keep your landscape Californian, by planting trees from California."        #OTD    It's the birthday of Elbert Green Hubbard born on this day in 1856.   He was a writer, artist, and the philosopher. Among Hubbard's many publications, with the piece he wrote about the founder of the Burpee Seed Company called, "The business of distributing flower seeds."   It was Elbert Hubbard who gave us these marvelous quotes:   "Our finest flowers are often weeds transplanted."   "A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world."   "To me, flowers are happiness. If I had but two loaves of bread I would sell one of them & buy White Hyacinths to feed my soul.”   "Without love, the world would only echo cries of pain, the sun would only shine to show us grief, each rustle of the wind among the leaves would be a sigh, and all the flowers fit only to garland graves."   In 1915, Albert Hubbard and his wife, Alice, guy.   They were on a ship called The Lusitania when it was sunk by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland.         Unearthed Words   It's the anniversary of the death of the author of Peter Pan; James Matthew Barrie.   Barrie was inspired by Kensington Gardens.   In 1912, he commissioned Sir George Frampton to build the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. It's been a favorite of visitors to the park ever since.   Gardens and flowers were a tremendous source of inspiration from Barrie. The following are just a few samples of his garden inspired prose:   “There is almost nothing that has such a keen sense of fun as a fallen leaf.”      “The unhappy Hook was as impotent as he was damp, and he fell forward like a cut flower.”   “All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, ‘Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!’ This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.”    Today's book recommendation: "Reader's Digest" New Encyclopedia of Garden Plants & Flowers by Justine et al Scott-McNab This is one of my favorite resources.

« Je gagne les batailles, et Joséphine conquiert les coeurs. » Napoléon Bonaparte La Malmaison fut le témoin privilégié de la vie du général Bonaparte et Joséphine de Beauharnais qu’on a coutume de qualifier de premier couple politique de notre Histoire contemporaine. Leur union était à l’image de la «politique de fusion» entre ancien et nouveau monde voulue par Bonaparte. Puis advinrent l’Empire et les ambitions dynastiques de Napoléon… C’est sur ce thème que nous revenons dans cette émission, en compagnie de Françoise Deville, l’auteur de « Moi la Malmaison, amie intime de Joséphine », aux éditions de La Bisquine.

À la recherche d'un lieu disparu, l'hôtel de la rue de la Victoire, demeure de Joséphine et de Napoléon : l'apport de la reconstitution 3D. Dans le cadre de l'exposition Joséphine et Napoléon, l'Hôtel de la rue de la Victoire (Musée national des châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau, 2013), Aristeas a réalisé un film proposant la reconstitution 3D de l'hôtel aujourd'hui disparu. Grâce aux recherches documentaires et en lien avec le commissariat de l'exposition, la demeure a été reconstituée dans son volume et son environnement, modèle 3D qui a permis la réalisation d'une maquette en impression 3D présentée dans le parcours de l'exposition. Parallèlement, la critique des sources a permis de proposer la reconstitution de deux pièces, la chambre boudoir de Joséphine présentant une arcature de miroirs et le bureau bibliothèque de Bonaparte, dans lequel ont été intégrés décor et ameublement. Interventions de Élisabeth Caude, conservatrice générale au château de Versailles, et Hubert Naudeix, Société Aristeas, enregistrées le 28 janvier 2016 dans le cadre du colloque « Mobiliers, ensembles, décors. Conserver, restaurer, faire vivre ».

Het verhaal dat begint op Elba en eindigt op Sint Helena. De slag van Waterloo daartussen. Maar Johan op de Beeck heeft het vooral over de veldslagen die Napoleon in zijn hart heeft moeten voeren. In zijn hart was er altijd plaats voor 3 vrouwen: Marie Louise, de moeder van zijn zoontje, Maria Walewska, de vrijgevochten aristocrate uit Polen en Josephine natuurlijk. Joséphine is overleden op het moment dat hij op Elba zat. Een longontsteking was volgens de dokters de doodsoorzaak. Maar iemand anders zei dat ze gestorven was aan een gebroken hart. Ze hebben geen afscheid van elkaar kunnen nemen. Nadat Napoleon definitief verslagen is in Waterloo, in juni 1815, wil hij nog één keer Malmaison bezoeken, de plek waar hij met Joséphine zijn gelukkigste jaren heeft beleefd. Het lot heeft echter nog één liefde voor hem in petto.

Het huwelijk met zijn tweede vrouw Marie Louise maakt van Napoleon een ander man. De al wat corpulentere keizer heeft enkel nog oog voor zijn jonge vrouw en begint daarbij de belangrijke staatszaken een beetje uit het oog te verliezen. De ontwikkelingen in Spanje bijvoorbeeld zijn een grote domper. Anderzijds is er de geboorte van zijn zoon, één van de grootste ontroeringen uit zijn leven. Joséphine leeft inmiddels teruggetrokken op Malmaison maar nog steeds is haar hart bij Napoleon en zijn zoontje dat ze per se wil zien.
