It flowers very profusely, [50] and the large flower heads are borne on stalks 5–9 cm (2–3.5 in) above the foliage. Unlike other forms, the stems wither and die naturally after flowering, making way for more new growth and flowers. [51] The flower heads are golden yellow and measure 6 cm (2.5 in) across. [7]
Antigonon leptopus is a fast-growing climbing vine that holds on via tendrils, and is able to reach over 7 metres in length. It has cordate (heart-shaped), sometimes triangular leaves 25 to 75 mm long. The flowers are borne in panicles, clustered along the rachis. Producing pink or white flowers from spring to autumn, it forms underground ...
Trillium grandiflorum in the foreground and the smaller Thalictrum thalictroides in the background are both spring ephemerals of North American deciduous forests. An ephemeral plant is a plant with a very short life cycle or very short period of active growth, often one that grows only during brief periods when conditions are favorable.
The plant takes several (usually 5+) years to reach maturity and flower, doing so in April–May, [5] at which point it usually dies. Most subspecies produce offshoots from the base, so that although the parent plant flowers and dies, a cluster of clones around its base continue to grow and reproduce. It may also grow back from its base after ...
When cut young and dried, the open flowers and stalks preserve their colour and shape for long periods. Helichrysum italicum (synonym Helichrysum angustifolium ) is steam distilled to produce a yellow-reddish essential oil popular in fragrance for its unique scent, best described as herbaceous, sweet, and honey-like.
It is easily harvested and easily processed, post harvest, as there are no hulls to remove. Its seeds are a source of protein. [14] [56] It has rich content of the dietary minerals, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. [57] In cooked and edible forms, amaranth retains adequate content of several dietary minerals. [57] It is easy to cook.
Mimosa pudica (also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, [citation needed] action plant, humble plant, touch-me-not, touch-and-die, or shameplant) [3] [2] is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves quickly fold inward and droop ...
The plant can easily be cultivated in dry soil. It should be planted under bright exposure in fertile, midweight soil. It prefers soil rich in nitrogen, and can be propagated by ripened cuttings taken in spring or autumn in temperate climates, or by seeds in nursery beds. Growing the plant with others tends to stunt their growth; accordingly ...
