Plant of the Day

Tuesday 26 December 2023

Ideal for growing between paths, stonework or edging beds in a sunny spot with freely draining soil is Erigeron karvinskianus 'Lavender Lady' (Mexican fleabane). This semi-evergreen perennial forms a low mound of wiry stems covered from summer with daisy-like, yellow-centred, pale pink-lavender flowers.

Cuphea hybrida (Mexican cigar plant var: Cubano Cristo')

It's been foggy in Vancouver for the last couple of days and when it dips below freezing overnight, these are perfect conditions for creating frost. I woke up this morning to a Mexican cigar plant showing the after-effects.

I put this Cuphea out in early June to benefit our local Annas hummingbird, Arnie. It worked like a charm and I last saw Arnie about ten days ago. I've heard that you can bring a Cuphea indoors during the winter and treat it like a houseplant. I'm going to give it a try. I've put it in a sunny window that should make a Mexican cigar plant very happy.

Mexican Hat

Ratibida columnifera

I found this lonely blooming Mexican hat plant gleaming like a beacon light amongst a sea of non-native, invasive teasel growing in a dry, disturbed, almost waste-like land near Interstate 55 in Missouri.

This sombrero-resembling prairie coneflower is native to North America, where its historic native range primarily spanned the Great Plains and surrounding areas to the west, to Missouri on the very eastern edge of its adventive range. However, there are now naturalized populations east of Missouri. It's commonly grown in gardens and can escape from them. This species prefers dry, sunny habitats such as prairies, savannas and some disturbed areas with well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils. Its flowers provide food for an array of insect species, including bees, beetles, moths, wasps, and many more.

Randomly Selected Botanical Terms: Phyllaries

Flowers in the aster family have one of the most recognizable shapes in botany – a circle with a series of petals surrounding it. If you were asked to draw a flower, there is a good chance your drawing would look something like a sunflower, a daisy, a cosmos, or an aster. It’s one of the most basic flower shapes, and yet it isn’t a single flower; it’s a pseudanthium – a false flower. This is…

The tasty tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica) is where we get the English name “tomato”. The tomatillo is a domesticated version of wild plants found in Central America and is known in the Nahuatl language as “tomatl”. This plant is related to tomatoes because it is a member of the Solanaceae family, but it is not a tomato! This fruit grows in a husk that resembles a paper lantern and when it’s ripe the husk splits to reveal the plump green fruit. The tomatillo is the main ingredient of Mexican / Tex Mex salsa verde.

The evergreen shrub Monstera deliciosa (Swiss cheese plant, custard plant, fruit salad plant, Indian ivy, Mexican breadfruit) climbs using aerial roots. This is a commonly grown houseplant with heart-shaped, pinnatisect and often perforated, glossy deep green leaves and there is a variegated form, Monstera deliciosa 'Variegata'.
