Podcasts about ranunculus

The Chelsea Flower Show is one of the high points of the summer: a celebration of plants, gardens and creativity, as well as an unbeatable opportunity to rub shoulders with those who share the passion for making the most of this gorgeous time of year in England. This year, Country Life has its own presence at the show, at stand PW210, and we're thrilled to be part of this incomparable event. We'll be reporting from SW3 throughout the week, and you can see all our Chelsea 2025 stories right here, where we have been (and will continue) to share all the best photographs, stories and more from the show.To kick things off on the opening day, we are delighted that Country Life's gardens editor Tiffany Daneff was able to record a podcast at the show itself, speaking to Country Life's Toby Keel. Tiffany is a veteran of the show, having been literally dozens of times in her career, and has been talking to many of the garden designers whose work is on display in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. She talks through the things not to miss at this year's show, from the best of the show gardens to the cleverest ideas from among the smaller gardens tucked away in the corners, and she also gives a rundown of the finest flowers from inside the Great Pavilion, all while telling the stories and sharing the insights about behind how the show comes together. And yes, Tiffany also shares her very favourite plant from this year's show, one which she'd just seen before we started recording — so much so that she didn't yet have a note of the name. As promised in the recording, we've added the name here: it's called Ranunculus acris 'Citrinus'.Episode creditsHost: Toby KeelGuest: Tiffany DaneffProducer and editor: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via PixabayBack next week: James Fisher Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Liz discusses her experience growing ranunculus in zone 4B. She shares her methods for pre-sprouting the corms, planting them in the high tunnel, and overwintering them. Liz also talks about the importance of using high tunnels in colder climates and the challenges she faced with saving and replanting the corms. She concludes by mentioning her plans for the upcoming year and the changes she will make to her subscription offerings.TakeawaysRanunculus can be successfully grown in zone 4B with the use of a high tunnel.Pre-sprouting the corms and planting them in trays or directly in the ground can yield good results.Overwintering ranunculus is possible but requires careful storage and selection of healthy corms.Soil health is important for successful ranunculus cultivation, and cover crops can help improve it.Consider the timing of ranunculus blooms when planning subscriptions or sales.Selling ranunculus at a premium price is justified due to the high demand and cost of wholesale corms.Quickbooks: https://quickbooks.partnerlinks.io/0o09r7rqoau4Podcast website: www.sunnymarymeadowcoaching.comPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunnymarymeadow/Sunny Mary Meadow flower farm (www.sunnymarymeadow.com) specializes in bouquet subscriptions, stem bars, and a you-pick flower farm experience.Podcast Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/888196709178852

Autumn can be busy! It might be getting cooler and days shorter, but some vegetable crops can be planted right now. Use the warmth that is still in the soil to germinate the seeds or to give small punnet-seedlings a better start for growing through the late Autumn/Early winter months. Fresh Peas: Easy peasy, as the seeds of those peas (the peas themselves!!) have enough reserves inside them to make them grow. Nice, friable soil that can drain the winter rains away. Good nutritious compost in there as well Broad beans: Similar gig! Plenty of growth potential and they might ripen quite early too. These are good greens for the winter (if you like them). Broccoli: Another suitable winter vegetable that can be planted now —there's still some warmth in the soil they'll grow well in the next month— even if they slow down afterwards, you've got a month's worth of advance before they start taking it easy. Slow ripening means that they don't all ripen at once, so pick the biggest ones as they mature Most other cabbage varieties will also grow from now on Carrot seedlings: These will also germinate at lower temperatures. Remember to create a soil that is free of lumps and stones, so that the carrots keep straight and do not “fork”. An extra handful of Phosphate will give them the impetus to grow nice roots Egyptian Walking Onions: These are my favourite onions and they'll be quite happy to be planted (the small bulbils that form at the top of the mature plants). I tend to give them a bed on their own, so they can “walk” anywhere they like and right throughout the year; a raised bed with a regular dose of compost/mulch plus some seafood soup (liquid fertiliser) will sustain them ad infinitum. Maybe now is a good time to prepare a new bad for your garlic. (Garlic should really not be grown in the same bed, year after year. To avoid getting hammered by onion rust, I plant my garlic in early May to be at least a month ahead of the mythical and prescribed planting routine (shortest day) and harvest time (longest day). I've noticed many people struggle with these dates due to debilitating rust. Go early!! And Julie reminds me of the bulbs that need planting this autumn, so that we can look forward to some colour and cheer in spring: Narcissus, Tulips, Ranunculus and the wonderful smelling Freesias. Honestly, grab a catalogue (Wildflower world, Palmers, Oderings, etc) and spoil yourself; Good well-drained soils are often essential.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plants often become unwanted plants when they're especially prolific. Celandine is one such plant, quickly spreading to fill an area with its glossy green leaves and dizzyingly bright yellow flowers. But celandine is also a confusing plant, since the two varieties with the same name are not related. The greater celandine Chelidonium majus is a member of the poppy family, while the lesser celandine Ranunculus ficaria is in the buttercup family. Still, it's worth exploring the folklore and legends of both varieties, especially since there is some overlap! Let's find out how we can use celandine to ward off witches, cure warts, and predict the weather in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

 TALKING FLOWERS Seasonality of Flowers Vegetables have their season when they're available fresh and not just out of the cold room where they've been for 6 months or more. What about flowers? Many people forget that flowers have their seasons too, after all there are plenty of flowers available all year round. Hellebores-a winter flower  Why is that important?  It's the same as for vegetables and fruit, if it's not the current season for the flowers, then they're most likely imported. If I asked you what's the best time of year to buy peonies would you know?   What about roses, is there a best time? Have a look at the below suggestions to realise what is actually in season.   Winter Flowers Orchids, Vanda, Dendrobium, Cymbidium, Phaleanopsis, Hellebores. Jonquils, Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, Daphne (pictured.) Spring Flowers Stephanotis Peonies are an October flower. Roses, Ranunculus, Australian wildflowers-Waratahs, Ericas, Geraldton Wax; Cherry Blossoms, Magnolias Summer Flowers Roses, Sunflowers, Gerberas, Carnations, Stephanotis. Autumn Flowers Dahlias, Roses are continuing. Asiatic lilies are an exception as in Australia they are grown in glass houses and are available all year round. I'm talking with Nadine Brown of https://www.theivyinstitute.com.au/ The scientific name for spring stars is Ipheion uniflorum, often marketed as Triteleia Stars Of Spring, rather confusingly. Got to say one my favourite spring flowers. If you have any feedback email realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2RRR PO Box 644 Gladesville NSW 1675

My guest this week is Joanna Game, a grower and floral artist based in Devon, England. Joanna's arrangements have a sort of cultivated wildness, reflecting both her garden and her forages from the surrounding countryside. She discusses her development as an artist, her next steps after pulling back from wedding design, and how she blurs the boundary between nature and maker.

A lover of gardens and the science of botany, William Shakespeare included hundreds of references to flora and fauna in his plays and sonnets. And each flower would have conveyed symbolic meaning to his audiences. In addition, William was a master of metaphor.   Since William’s death, there have been many books written on the elements of nature mentioned in Shakespeare’s works. In 1906, the garden author and illustrator Walter Crane created beautiful anthropomorphized plants mentioned in Shakespeare's plays as people in his 1906 book, "Flowers from Shakespeare's Garden." In 2017, a book called Botanical Shakespeare by the Shakespeare historian Gerit Quealy was published. The subtitle for the book is An Illustrated Compendium of All the Flowers, Fruits, Herbs, Trees, Seeds, and Grasses Cited by the World's Greatest Playwright. And, by the way, this book is gorgeous - the watercolor illustrations are incredible, and I love all the quotes and insights provided by Gerit. Helen Mirren wrote the forward. Today, Shakespeare fans and gardeners delight in Shakespeare Gardens, and there are roughly 50 of these specialty gardens around the world that only cultivate plants mentioned in William’s work. There's a lovely semi-hidden Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park, in San Francisco. There’s another Shakespeare Garden with over 50 flowers on the Evanston campus of Northwestern. Central Park has a little Shakespeare Garden located between 79th and 80th Streets. And in 1914, the Dunedin Botanic Garden in New Zealand established a Shakespeare Garden, including a replica of Shakespeare’s Boxwood Knot Garden in Stratford on Avon. Here are some favorite flower quotes from Shakespeare: Sweet flowers are slow, and weeds make haste.  — William Shakespeare, Richard III There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance pray, love, remember: and there is pansies. That’s for thoughts... – William Shakespeare, Hamlet I know a bank where the wild thyme grows,  Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,  With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine...  – William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream   April 23, 1770 Today is the anniversary of the death of one of the founders of English Romanticism, the poet William Wordsworth. A lover of nature, William wrote about our relationship with the natural world. Although William is best known for his poem about Daffodils that starts, “I wandered lonely as a cloud,” William’s favorite flower was the spring-blooming Lesser Celandine (Ficaria Verna), and he wrote three poems about it. He wrote: There is a flower, the lesser celandine That shrinks, like many more, from cold and rain And, the first moment that the sun may shine Bright as the sun himself, 'tis out again!’ Lesser celandine is a yellow buttercup or Ranunculus. It’s a woodland star-shaped flower that loves wet areas, and when it is happy, it spreads everywhere. In fact, many places now label Lesser Celandine as an invasive plant. Lesser Celandine also has the unfortunate common name pilewort - since it was used to treat hemorrhoids. William loved Lesser Celandine so much that he asked that his tombstone be carved with the flower. But, in a twist of fate, Thomas Woolner, the British sculptor, and poet carved a poppy flower known as greater celandine - a flower that looks nothing like Wordsworth's favorite blossom. The marble Wordsworth memorial was described by the Oxford University Press this way: “The memorial, erected in August 1851, is a white memorial tablet in the shape of a squat, stylized obelisk, with the poet's profile in relief on the base section, against a panel of grey marble… In two narrow squares on each side of [Wordsworth’s] head are... the daffodil, the celandine, the snowdrop, and violet.”   Unearthed Words The arbutus is now open everywhere in the woods and groves. How pleasant it is to meet the same flowers year after year! If the blossoms were liable to change – if they were to become capricious and irregular – they might excite more surprise, more curiosity, but we should love them less; they might be just as bright, and gay, and fragrant under other forms, but they would not be the violets and squirrel-cups, and ground laurels we loved last year. Whatever your roving fancies may say, there is a virtue in constancy which has a reward above all that fickle change can bestow, giving strength and purity to every affection of life and even throwing additional grace about the flowers which bloom in our native fields. We admire the strange and brilliant plant of the green-house, but we love most the simple flowers we have loved of old, which have bloomed many a spring, through rain and sunshine, on our native soil. ― Susan Fenimore Cooper, American writer, and amateur naturalist   Grow That Garden Library Kitchen Garden Revival by Nicole Johnsey Burke This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is A modern guide to creating a stylish, small-scale, low-maintenance, edible garden.

Known as the dragon slayer, St. George was partial to the color blue, and he is remembered with the English bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) - a flower that blooms around this time each year. Cicely Mary Barker created a Blue Bell Fairy poem along with a beautiful watercolor. The first verse goes like this: My hundred thousand bells of blue, The splendor of the Spring, They carpet all the woods anew With royalty of sapphire hue; The Primrose is the Queen, ’tis true. But surely I am King! And in her book, The Brief Life of Flowers, Fiona Stafford writes, "Bluebells are reminders of the very origins of 'spring,' the great gush of life." English bluebells are simpler and less floriferous than the invasive Spanish variety. Anne Brontë recognized the simplicity of the bluebell in her poem about the blossom. She wrote, But when I looked upon the bank My wandering glances fell Upon a little trembling flower, A single sweet bluebell. Today a modern bluebell poem from Stella Williams addresses the damage humans can do to natural areas - like the woodlands where bluebells like to grow. In 2018, The Woodland Trust featured verses the poem along woodland paths to remind people that traipsing through nature areas can cause long-term damage. Here’s The Bluebell Blues by Stella Williams, a content manager at The Woodlands Trust. Help us beat the bluebell blues, a problem caused by paws and shoes. Keep to the path, enjoy the view and let the new green leaves push through. As leaves unfurl and buds hang free, they hint at beauty we’ll soon see; but if dogs or walkers go off track, we may never get that beauty back. Now the flowery bells unfold and violet carpets are unrolled, to delight you and all who follow. Let’s ensure they’re here tomorrow. When the bluebells fade and die beneath the soil, their bulbs still lie. If damaged, they could disappear; protect them, and they’ll grow next year.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

I denne episoden presenterer Sankeren & Kokken en art som har blitt brukt mye gjennom tidene, men som nå er markert som giftig, nemlig vårkål. Her prater de om tidligere bruk av vårkål som mat, derunder håndtering og oppbevaring. I nyere tid har altså denne blitt satt til giftig, selv om den har blitt brukt som mat i veldig lang tid. Dette er på grunn av en hendelse i nyere tid som omgjorde definisjonen på vårkål. Her tar Jim-Andre og Jørgen opp debatten om spiselighet, de prater om hvordan vitenskapen forandrer seg med nyere kunnskap og hva som skal til for å være en riktig katalyst i defineringsspørsmålene. De prater altså ganske bredt ut fra arten vårkål og her er en flott mulighet til å få med seg mye informasjon om hvordan artene blir behandlet for å godkjennes som mat!

One of the highlights of Quynh's involvement in Design Days 2020 was having the chance to meet Holly Heider Chapple! You've likely seen Holly's beautiful work all over social media and she's been featured in numerous wedding magazines and wedding blogs. Her flower arrangements are always exquisitely composed and styled. One look at her websites (yes, she's got 3) and you can see it reflects her personality and her style perfectly. She's the founder of Chapel Designers, the owner of Hope Flower Farm, and the artist behind Holly Chapple Flowers. She's a HUGE name in the floral industry, so much so that she's dubbed the "Flower Mama" by her peers. You wouldn't know it because she is so incredibly down-to-earth, warm, and engaging. With the help of her family, she's turned her floral business into an empire. In this Episode, she is joined by her son, Alex, the Director of Education and Communication, who has become an integral part of her business. Listen to Holly and Alex as they talk to us about their flower farm, their floral business, and how they're adapting their business in light of the Covid-19 related restrictions. If you hear the chirping chicks in the background, they're from Holly's farm! Let's get to know Holly: 1. Introduce yourself to us! Who is Holly Chapple? I'm a floral and event designer based in Virginia, and I serve clients in the D.C. area. I'm also a flower farmer, an educator, an inventor, and a mother of seven. 2. How did you decide to become a florist? What turning points in your life led you to where you are now in your personal and business life? I grew up in the garden center/produce market my parents owned. As a child, I had to help in the field, sell tomatoes and corn, and tend to flowering plants. I also did basic designing during the holidays. The first centerpieces I designed were for my father to sell during the Christmas season. Flowers have always been a constant in my life. I started working as a florist because I was looking for a way to stay at home with my children. I did my first design work by the kitchen sink. My first wedding work was for a friend, a woman who lived up the street. Initially, my business grew because of word of mouth. But a big turning point in my business was the advent of social media. I was an early adopter of blogging and Instagram, and my work on both platforms made me more visible. I've always been very transparent on social media about how hard this work is--especially as a mother--and it has resonated with clients over the years. And other florists, many of whom choose to study with me at workshops or online. 3. Tell us about your company, Holly Heider Chapple Flowers. First and foremost, we are artists at Holly Heider Chapple Flowers LTD. Very busy artists, working across multiple divisions. Second, we are family. And much of the work across these divisions is focused on bringing you into our family. You can read more about us here: https://www.hollychappleflowers.com/about. 4. What is it like working with family members as you have been growing your Company? This has been incredible for the business, as we all have very different strengths. My husband is remarkable at finance, business policies, farming, and build-outs. He is also an incredible teacher. My son Alex has brought a new strength to our company because of his strong communication and writing skills. Alex is also a people person so he is wonderful at caring for our students. Alex is the Director of Education and Communication. By working together I hope we are building something that will endure. 5. Can you tell us about your beautiful farm, Hope Flower Farm? Hope was a working dairy farm. The main house and barn were built in the 1820s. Through the years, an additional tenant house and two other barns were added to the farm. The original property was over 400 acres; years ago most of the land was developed and the farm was reduced to 25 acres. The tenant farmers were Mr. and Mrs. Hope; they worked the farm for over sixty years. The property was for sale for almost four years before we finally were able to acquire the farm. In honor of the Hopes, we named the farm Hope Flower Farm. The manor house is used for styled shoots and a residence for our teachers. Floral design students stay in the tenant house or at local B&Bs and hotels. Three barns are used for education and events. We haven't had a wedding at the farm yet, but we're preparing to host our first there this year. We grow daffodils, tulips, blooming branches, several thousand peonies, dahlias, lots of annuals and other perennials. 6. What is Chaple Designers and what is its mission? In 2010, I asked the floral designers following my blog and social media, “Does anyone want to meet me in New York?” They did. After years of offering advice, guidance, and moral support to fellow designers on social media, I designed a conference for them to meet and study together in person for the first time. And so Chapel Designers - the first organization of its kind - was born. This network of like-minded industry professionals came together under my wing. They call me “Flower Mama,” and now Chapel Designers from all over the world meet to study together all over the world. Essentially, we are a collective of wedding and event designers. We work together and support each other so we all find success. In light of the COVID-19 crisis, I have never been more grateful for this group. You can read more about the Chapel Designers Mission here: https://www.chapeldesigners.com/information 7. You've partnered with Syndicate Sales on the development of the Holly Chapple Egg. What is the Holly Chapple Egg? Tell us about the development process and how you came up with this ingenious product? The egg was born out of necessity. I was trying to achieve a certain type of design for a bridal bouquet - for a special bride - when I came up with the form. Syndicate Sales often supplied hard goods to our Chapel Designer workshops, so I knew that I could go to them with the mechanic concept. We had design meetings, sought a patent, and the rest is history. 8. You also have a line with MP Bastian Leathers. Tell us about this line. I needed an apron or belt that did not fall apart. My tools are constantly pointing downwards and destroying any cloth aprons I wear. This sturdier custom-made piece is water resilient and so much more durable. 9. How do you decide which businesses and/or designers to partner/collaborate with? This is often about the relationship I have with a particular person or brand. I am very people-focused. The concept/product is always born out of need. I am very careful about who I work with as I want to protect the integrity of our company which has taken 28 years to build. 10. We love that you define yourself as an artist. What would be your advice for an aspiring artist? Sometimes, just create for creation's sake. Design things that inspire you and keep you motivated. If you feel like you are just producing and not creating art, you need to rethink where you are at. I say each design or piece that leaves the studio should make our studio proud!! 11. What are your favourite flowers to design with? Lilac, Peonies, Dahlias, Ranunculus, Garden roses…… whoops I could go on forever.

Flowers are like heaven to me. They brighten the darkest of days with their beauty and extensive variety of bloom shapes and colors. Today on episode 3 of the Sunshine Gardening podcast, I am sharing one of my favorite flowers for the garden! I guarantee after I am done talking about it, you will want this flower for your shade garden as well. Stay with me to find out the flower that I am referring to and learn the best growing tips to help it shine in your Kentucky garden. Flower Characteristics The flower that I am covering today in episode 3 is Hellebore orientalis, is commonly referred to as Lenten Rose or Hellebores. While the rose family first comes to mind, this plant actually belongs to the Ranunculus or Buttercup Family.   Helleborus xhybridus is a group of evergreen, late-winter or early-spring flowering perennials that are offered as ornamental plants for the garden.Blooms generally appear during Lent. Hence the name Lenten Rose. It is one of the first plants to bloom in the spring which earns it the name of “harbinger of spring”.Since the plant easily hybridizes, there is a wide variety of cultivars available in the marketplace. Colors include shades of pink, green, yellow, red, pure white, dark purple, and almost black. Other cultivars may have other interesting color patterns that are bicolor, speckled, spotted, and streaked with single or double forms. Some cultivars have picotee flowers where the color along the edge is darker. Lenten rose is hardy from zone 9 to zone 4. They will handle colder temperatures if some winter protection is provided. Lenten rose possess tough, almost woody stems. The leaves are described as being leathery, shiny and dark-green in color. They are palmate divided with 7-9 leaflets with coarsely cut leaf margins. These characteristics make it resistant to deer and rabbit feedings and the foliage will remain attractive all throughout the growing season.The flowers have an interesting growth habit. Flower buds form during the previous summer season. The flower spikes emerge from an underground rhizome in late winter.What we would call the petals are actually called sepals which is a modified calyx. There are 5 petal-like sepals that surround a ring of nectaries. The true petals are the nectaries that hold the nectar. Within the ring of petals are numerous stamens and pistils. After pollination occurs, the petals and stamens will then fall off leaving behind the sepals. They can remain on the plant for 1-2 months or sometimes even longer.Flowers reach about 1 to 3 inches wide and are described as being saucer like in appearance. The blooms are mostly downward facing. https://videopress.com/v/wXuAxKOc?preloadContent=metadata Parts of the Hellebores Bloom How to Grow Lenten Rose in the Kentucky Garden   Since hellebores are difficult to start from seed, it is best to purchase 2-3 year old plants. Position the plants in areas that receive partial to full shade.Plants will perform best when planted in moist, well-drained soil. They are sensitive to soggy soil, so make sure to provide good soil drainage. A good way to do this is to incorporate compost throughout the entire planting area prior to transplanting. They will also benefit from planting on a hillside, slope, or raised beds. It is noted that in these three areas it is easier to see the downward facing blooms. At first, hellebores are slow to establish. When they do reach maturity though, plants can reach 18 to 24 inches tall with a width of 24-30” inches. Mature plants can even have 50 or more flowers per plant.If planting multiple plants, space plants about 16 inches apart or more. Refer to the plant label to see recommendations on how far apart to space plants.Plants are self sowers so they put out a lot of seed. New seedlings will generally appear in the spring.Lenten roses are an outstanding plant for providing color and texture to the ornamental shade garden.

TALKING FLOWERS Ranunculus:  Family:Ranunculaceae also includes anemones, clematis, delphiniums, nigella and hellebores.  Grow from claw-like tuber or corms but now referred to as thickened rhizomes. Growing tips: These plants are very hardy and will grow in a wide range of conditions. If you missed planting them out in autumn for a spring show, treat yourself with a bunch of ranunculus from your favourite florist. Mercedes Tips: www.floralgossip.com.au Cut the stems straight across before placing them in a vase. Place them in water that has been filtered or standing for 4 hours so that all the chlorine has evaporated off. Throw in a few ice cubes to perk up your ranunculus flowers Flowers have a vase life of 8 - 10 days.   As they prefer to have their roots kept cool and moist, plant Ranunculus species in a sunny or partly shaded position with moist well-drained soil. Don't like clay soils. I'm talking with Mercedes Sarmini florist, and floral therapist.
