The lilies, queen of the July garden have been spectacular. I have planted fifteen to twenty five of a single variety together with a few complementary or contrasting lilies of another color. That grouping is then situated in complement or contrast with another grouping. I have tried to create my borders in full sun with protection against the vagaries of summer storms especially high winds.<br />
The largest planting is a bed 5' by 80' in a raised bed at the back of the house. We have smaller plantings used as accents throughout the garden, five to seven of a single cultivar. Theses ares sometimes mixed with a complementary colored lily.<br />
I like the combination of salmon, yellow and orange but have not yet found a salmon which blooms at exactly the same time as my favorite yellows and oranges. Red, pink and white varieties make another attractive grouping.<br />
Lilies like their feet cool, in mass they provide dense shade to one another, only the front of the border needs cover and there I grow annuals, <br />
My garden ideas with lilies outstrip my garden space. They are also dependent on the amount of cultivars available to my pocket book. I am thinking of putting out some plans that others can implement but they stretch gardening resources<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
I first visited Jay Cook at age 17. Then I was a goat and I clambered all over the ancient rock. A beautiful mix of boreal forest and swift water over rock. It was a mythic place for me, I dreamt I would meet my wife in the park. The park buildings are WPA projects of stone, The lot is surrounded by tall forest.</div>

Now in my sixties I am not able to scramble over rock because of a damaged leg but the gorge still draws me to its beauty. The swinging suspension bridge of my youth has been replaced, damaged by flood. In my first visit we travelled up the north canyon wall from Hwy 23. That route was also destroyed by flood and under construction. Access the park off I-35 through the Carlton exit via Hwy. 210. The final miles to the park center is a slow meandering under a boreal canopy, you can hear the river roar to your right. </div>
<br />
<br />
Beautiful in all seasons, Mashell and I visited two weekends separated by a three to seven inch rainfall which flooded all the local rivers. First weekend the character of the St. Louis was placid the next weekend the waters raged through the gorge.<br />
<br />
<br />
The lower St. Louis is a whitewater enthusiasts haven, There are great hiking and biking trails. The boreal environment contains Black Bear, Timber Wolf, White-tailed Deer and Coyotes. Hawks and Herons fly the gorge skies.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jay Cooke has beauty in abundance which calms my spirit. Feeds my desire for <span lang="ga">nádúr.</span><br />

The Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris were on time, a few Tall Bearded Iris failed to bloom. Siberian Iris were fabulous in all my gardens but bloomed a month early from their traditional bloom season. The Iris Society of Minnesota show was nearly half Siberian Iris.</span><br />

MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! 2016 gardening season begins.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our last frost date is around May 10<sup>th</sup>, just after
Mother’s day. My local nurseries are burgeoning with plants some are still
receiving shipments but most perennials are available; STICKER SHOCK, STICKER
SHOCK! Many perennial quart pots were selling around $12.95, I saw shrubs from
Bailey’s, Monrovia and Proven Winners selling above $35.00 many on the average
of $45.00 to $50.00 apiece. Now some of these nurseries may be over priced with
high overhead and survived with landscaping projects and volume.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Personal disposable income is expected to increase 1.9 % over
the next five years. The recession
killed many nurseries in my area as discretionary income fell, large businesses
and the waterfall flow of wealth into the hands of the super-rich few continues
to drain everyone’s pocket. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe it’s time to offer volume discounts? Offering younger
plants in 4” pots etc. This trend cannot continue. The largest sale of plants
in my area is the Friends Plant Sale where thousands are sold in smaller
containers. This is a very viable option for gardeners on a budget.</div>

Since I wrote this blog a few days ago I have visited some more local nurseries. Again quart pots were from $8.00 to $12.95. But they also had a large selection of young native perennials in 2 1/2 inch pots at reasonable prices. I picked up Sweet Woodruff, Veronica and Wild Geranium. </div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The genus Gasteria is comprised of highly variable species. The plant is stemless, leaves are thick, with a waxy surface often banded or dotted with color or warty. The leaves grow from the center in either a linear stack or spiral form. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The raceme of flowers are down-facing, orange and green, shaped like stomachs thus the name Gasteria. The blossoms are edible raw or cooked and a component of stews.In my north country they make excellent houseplants, tolerating indirect sunlight or little shade. Some sunlight ensures compact grow. Too much sun will turn leaves to red and then white or yellow.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br />
Water evenly and generously in the summer, letting the soil dry out between watering. Do not let water collect in between leaves. In the winter, reduce watering to every other month, but do not stop watering. The plant is frost hardy to -1°C.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I found it difficult to properly name all plants, Some I purchased were not named, I have not assumed all named varieties are correctly labeled either.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">You can see additional pictures of Gasteria on my Pinterest board.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pollen dauber, why should the birds and bees have all the
fun? This is the ultimate gardening experience, creating something new from the
materials of nature. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hybridizing requires some knowledge, there are many
resources, some skill, which can be acquired through experience, patience, time
and if you become dedicated some land. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I had the land say five to ten acres and a greenhouse I
would daub many types of favorite plants: Erythroniums, Cimicifuga, Trollius,
various beardless iris particularly Siberians, Laevigatas, Cristatas and then Martagon Lilies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Bringing Beauty to Life" is the motto of SummerChase Gardens. I have created new beauty for my own enjoyment and given this beauty for others to enjoy. The process creates living works of art. Hybridizing has refined my understanding of color, form, and texture. I have become in tune to the cycle of nature, insects, plants, soil, weather and climate. These are a few of the lessons to be learned.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are pictures of Siberian Iris selections lined out
either last year or two years ago. Some are being grown for introduction ( one
has been ) or as a further breeding source. Some of these plants will never be registered or introduced.</span><br />

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dr. Normal Borlaug was a hunger fighter, “The man who saved
a billion lives”. After changing the emphasis of his education from forestry to
plant pathology and genetics, he tasked himself to the production of new varieties
and methods to feed the burgeoning population of the world. Throughout his life
he worked to improve wheat and later rice crops, with new high yield, disease
resistant varieties. These new varieties paired with intensive farming
techniques lead to the “Green Revolution”. Dr. Borlaug sought opportunities to
stave off starvation in nations with exponential population growth. He sought
after alliances with governments and organizations to directly address and
apply solutions to starvation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; border: currentColor; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 1970 Dr. Borlaug received the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2014,
the one hundred anniversary of his birth a statute was unveiled in the US
Capitol. His work has had tremendous impact on mankind. When discussing his
achievements many people call him the “Greatest man to have ever lived”. </span></div>

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, Dr. Borlaug
challenged the governments of the world to address the “Population Monster”
which could outpace his and successors work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He stated his work gave mankind a few decades to stave off hunger but it
must be paired with population control.</span></div>

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My father was born in 1899 the world population was 1.6
billion humans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was born in 1952 the
population was approximately 2.6 billion. I graduated from high school the same
year Dr. Borlaug received his peace prize, the human population was 3.7 billion
individuals. Today we have exponential growth to 7.2 billion persons. There is
a finite amount of arable land. Our passions may exceed the science and
technology as applied by Norman Borlaug’s peers.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Responsible population control was discussed openly in the
70’s and I hear little on this “time bomb” topic today, population growth
demonstrates the fact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This issue is
surrounded by hot topics: contraception, abstinence, and reduction of infant
mortality, abortion, status of women, sterilization, legislation</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_planning" title="Family planning"></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">,
and family planning. We need to readdress this issue again as individuals, as
cultures as societies. We need to learn from what has been practiced currently in
some nations and find workable solutions. Dr. Borlaug’s efforts, a hunger
fighter’s efforts, should not go in vain.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For the last few years I have conducted seminars on
groundcovers and discussed Sweet Fern, Comptonia peregrina. Most gardeners are
not aware of this small shrub. Propagation issues have kept it from widespread introduction
to the retail nursery trade. This problem has been generally resolved (</span><a href="http://www.amerinursery.com/article-8091.aspx"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://www.amerinursery.com/article-8091.aspx</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)
so availability should multiply.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I discuss this boreal groundcover with others who thrive
in poor infertile or rocky soils; Bearberry, (Arctostaphylos Ursa-uvi) ,
Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolia), Northern Bush Honeysuckle,
(Diervilla lonicera) and Common juniper (Juniperus communis). Sweet Fern is a
pioneer plant spreading into disturbed soil, it can fix nitrogen and is salt
tolerant. Some say it can be invasive.</span></div>

bedrock. The dominant shrub layer species are Lowbush Blueberries and Northern
Bush Honeysuckle with larger Juneberries, Hazelnut, Prairie Willow and Staghorn
or Smooth Sumac. The canopy is made of Red and White pine or Red Maple, Pin and
Red Oak. The sub-canopy can be comprised of Mountain Maple, Mountain-ash,
Quaking Aspen and Paper Birch.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">How can Sweet Fern be used in landscapes? Mixed with any
of the aforementioned groundcovers Sweet Fern can be used in many tough growing
locations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Edges of roadways, sidewalks
and drives where salt is sprayed throughout winter, Sweet Fern can be utilized
with Bearberry providing varying height. As a turf replacement in any dry
growing conditions. Sweet Fern foliage is fragrant adding scent to any area.
Wild Rose grows with Sweet Fern in the wild. Shrub roses such as Nearly Wild would
add color. Native to rocky environments Sweet Fern could be used surrounding
rock clusters. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seek out Sweet Fern, I hope knowing something of its
native ecology can help you find opportunities for this shrub in your
landscape.</span></div>

The area I live in was once dominated by oak woodland and savannas surrounding large wetlands, an ecosystem maintained by fire. Today many wetlands have been drained and the fires are suppressed. Large oak woods have been cut down and burned for development. Still remnants of great oaks persist and are never more prominent than in Fall color.</div>

White, Bur, Red and Northern Pin Oak giants are slowing being lost to the ravages of old age and neglect. These are replaced by many varieties of maple and exotic ornamental trees in residential and commercial lawnscapes. These are easy to care for, lacking the large persistent leaves and acorns of oaks. Their scale works in small lots unlike the parkland often required for towering oaks.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Many of our eastern broadleaf forest oaks are slow growing reaching great age. They transcend our small lives outliving many generations. They average two to three hundred years old, some living to four hundred and fifty years or more. A Bur Oak can be one hundred and thirty feet tall and as many wide. These trees require respect!</div>

flows through a valley over a mile wide. The river at this point is typically 70
feet with pools to 100 feet deep. A plaque in the park mentions the trail is
200 feet under the surface of Glacial River St. Croix which quickly reduced
Glacial Lake Duluth (current remnant Lake Superior). The main feature of the
park is the potholes created by circular erosion of material by the powerful
flow of water. Some have been excavated and found to be 60 feet deep, the
world’s largest potholes.</span></span></div>

Croix Falls Dam which drowned the rapids at the top of the dalles. This
hydroelectric plant providing energy for the Twin Cities has recently been
supplanted by connection to the Manitoba hydroelectric power grid. Originally a
dam was proposed for a lumber mill and transporting timber south. But climax
white pine forests were quickly cut and not restored, the timber industry
collapsed as the dam was finished. Tourism is the primary industry today. Does
the dam serve any purpose? Is restoration of the rapids possible? (See <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The St. Croix Dam a Fatal Blockage</b>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Much of the area is
monumental in scope the scale creates wonder and awe. The river can inspire a
water gardener to develop a plan modeled on the river. Replacing the dam, long
swift rapids of tumbling water plunge into the deep pools of the basaltic
canyon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Depending on finances a gardener
could recreate the river course on a god-like human perspective or with more
expense on a half-human scale. Rather than using glacial or river boulders we
could use trap rock or something of dense basaltic character. Many photos are
taken from a rocky promontory in the park on the Minnesota side. It allows
excellent views up and down the dalles. You can use a site on your garden
course to the same effect.</span></div>

Martagons have the largest geographic distribution of any
division of the genus Lilium, the five species are closest in “kin” (chromosomal)
than any other group of species.</div>

They are only found in the Northern hemisphere in
environments characterized by cold winters and short summers. Generally they
thrive in deciduous forests, in alpine conditions just above the tree-line and
in the alluvial soils of river systems.</div>

Highly adaptive plants these lilies present a marvelous
natural geometry, emerging from warming soils as spherical domes the foliage
emerges as rosettes of whorled leaves elongating into ascending towers topped
with nodding buds which unfold into a symmetrical candelabra of down-facing
(turk’s cap) flowers. </div>

<span style="color: black;">It was a very good year for martagon
lilies. They were gorgeous in my garden, the bloom season weather was fine, flowering
lasted for weeks. I also photographed an NALS, North America Lily Society (<a href="http://www.lilies.org/">www.lilies.org</a>) show sponsored by the North Star Lily Society, (<a href="http://www.northstarlilysociety.com/">www.northstarlilysociety.com</a>)
in Bloomington MN. The show displayed over 100 martagon spikes, many seedlings,
mostly from Canada.</span></div>

<strong>Martagons: The Toughest Lilies of Them All” by Dr. Ieuan Evans. </strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It was informative to hear
of his method of breeding. (See the NSLS site) I have used the process outlined by E. Eugene Fox in
his book </span>Martagon Lilies</strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> which was available through NALS. I used this
process for myself and Hartle-Gilman who sold through Faraway Flowers. Today;
Doc Gilman has passed away, Jan Hartle had a stroke and Faraway Flowers has
discontinued business. The current owners of Hartle-Gilman have sold bulbs
through master gardener plant fairs throughout Minnesota and wholesale to NSLS.
At one time this collection was one of the largest in North America.</span></strong></span></div>

In the drizzling rain I met Dennis Hoidal a wholesaler of cacti and succulents. I bought a few plants to add to our small collection and made an appointment to visit his greenhouses. My wife Mashell and I have a growing fascination with these plants, their exotic sculptural shapes, beautiful flowers and easy care are very appealing.<br />

Dennis began growing his passion in the 70s after giving his newlywed wife three cacti for their barren apartment. Today he has a large succulent greenhouse filled to overabundance. He also has a newer cacti greenhouse filled with rows of prickly beauty.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
As we approached the first greenhouse I remarked about the large Golden Barrel Cactus and the flowering opuntia, commonly called prickly pear, or desert rose growing along the south wall. While the opuntia wintered outdoors the Golden Barrel were potted and wintered in the greenhouse. The opuntia were flowering in shades of yellow and rose pink.</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Inside the succulent greenhouse (cactus also) was a fabulous array of exotic plants some were familiar, I had collected haworthia at one time, many were unknown to me or had such variety of color and form I had not encounter before. Sometimes my sight was overwhelmed, they all shouted "look at me!" I had asked Dennis if we could purchase a few. Mashell kept selecting the most rare and expensive, which Dennis would not let go, she has good taste!<br />
<br />
<br />
To walk into Dennis's greenhouses is to walk in a world of odd and striking colors textures, and forms. An exhilarating step away from fields and forests.<br />

After one of the worst winters ever recorded spring has alternated between cold and wet, hot and dry, returning to cold wet conditions. Temperatures moderated to seasonal fluctuations with sporadic heavy rains. After dry conditions in fall and wacky weather conditions this spring many mature clumps of Siberian iris are showing distress. Short stature, bloom within foliage, sometimes near ground level, these are two symptoms of concern.</div>

I have been playing close attention to a seedling which germinated in my rock garden three years ago. Siberian Iris are wet meadow plants, mature plants can have drought tolerance. The rock garden is converse environmental conditions, at the edge of the garden and bracketed by a stone sidewalk the heat can be extreme. This Siberian Iris seedling has thrived in this alien environment and flowered this year. The plant with large blue-violet flowers is elegant, the flower form is classic. Overall the flower is not exciting, but heat and moisture tolerance could have breeding potential, it could help increase the southern range of Siberian Iris. This ability to prosper needs further testing and also propagation to ensure it can convey these traits to offspring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
We may also learn something regarding landscaping with Siberian Iris. This seedling is out of scale in a rock garden. In a border this tall plant could fix the middle ground and be the major focus of a late spring garden. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
Some Siberian Iris have attractive basal coloring but in my estimation the base is a weak focal point. A wet meadow companion could cover the base. Molinia caerulea ‘variegata’ can mask the base and would also provide variation in foliage, and expand the season of interest. Molinias are native companions to Siberian species. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the sibs are blooming this Molinia forms a low clump. As the bloom season ends Molinias create tall racemes which reach to the sky providing a tall contrast.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
Another native perennial companion are Trollius which thrive in the same meadow conditions of Europe and <st1:place w:st="on">Asia</st1:place>. I prefer the asian species which show honey petals versus the globe flower of European species and hybrids. The orange or yellow flowers, palmate foliage on a two foot plant are wonderful contrast in color and form. Trollius ledebourii, asiaticus, ircuticus, riederianus and kytmanov can create fields of color with Siberian iris interspersed or as accents in fields of iris.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
I encourage my readers to please comment on this article. What companions do you use with your Siberian Iris? I would also love to hear of your experience with Trollius. Please include photos and I will make comments and photos into an edited posting.</div>

The Orchid Society of Minnesota held a spring show "A Growing Obsession" April 30th through May 4th. Oncidiums and Phalaenopsis dominated displays, Encyclias and Lycaste also dotted presentations.<br />

<br />
The fluorescent lighting and spot lights played havoc with photography. I believe I still took some good photos for your enjoyment. I bought a couple of rupicolous laelia species restarting my collection.<br />

I prefer daffodils as harbingers of early spring over other bulbs. People often select tulips but they are neither as vigorous or persistent as daffodils. Hybrid tulips are prone to animal damage often flowers are snipped and eaten as they bloom. Daffodils never fail to cheer up my soul. Their bright colors accent early greening gardens.<br />
<br />
With proper selection of varieties daffodils can accent your garden for months. They can be forced to bloom indoors and grow well in pots.<br />
<br />
On May 3rd I visited the Daffodil Society of Minnesota show. I present pictures from that display, I do not include names of varieties as some are collections, I want to spark your curiosity to learn more thru DSM and the American Daffodil Society.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">A woodland or meadow planting of daffodils en masse is a site to behold.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In Minnesota meadow plantings are difficult as grasses tend to be too vigorous and tall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Hope you enjoyed and are encouraged to plant daffodils!</span><br />
