Flower of the Week, 10th April.

The blossom of our Amelanchier Canadensis is an ephemeral beauty. It’s at its peak now but in less than a week is likely to be gone. Fortunately the shrub has a graceful, arching form and produces a spectacular, brightly coloured display in autumn.

Plant of the Day

Monday 1 April 2024

The Amelanchier canadensis (service berry) are covered in a cloud of flowers. This deciduous shrub or small tree provides so much display value with good autumn colour as well blossom. After the flowers dark purple to black berries are produced which are very popular with the birds, I always thought my specimen was prune by pigeons and blackbirds.

What a gorgeous afternoon for a Mid-April hike in the Cheat River Canyon. Spring’s delicate treasures were out in full force. From top: halberd-leaved yellow violet (Viola hastata); sweet white violet (Viola blanda); broadleaf toothwort (Cardamine diphylla); Carolina spring beauty (Claytonia caroliniana); bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis); common blue violet (Viola sororia); Allegheny serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis); sweet birch (Betula lenta) catkins; and a cranky Allegheny rat snake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) newly out of hibernation.

I’ve likely seen many others and just couldn’t identify them, but there are a lot I’ve never seen growing wild. What I’m hoping is that some of the native species I have in my garden will make their way to the nearby ravine. If I get around to it, though, I might just take a walk with some Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) seeds in the fall. They certainly seem to successfully germinate in my garden whether I want them to or not (don’t have space for them to go crazy). Can’t see why they wouldn’t in a natural swamp area.

先日買った “ジューンベリー” は宝石のような綺麗な赤い実でした。味は薄く甘味があって、まとめて頬張ると、ちょっとブルーベリーっぽさもあるかな？ しかしこれも足が速く、ちょっとの間にカビが生え出してしまうのです…。 大急ぎで、とりあえずジャムを作り、そのうちの2/3は卵と無塩バターを混ぜてジューンベリーカードにしました。ジャム作りの際にちょっと混ぜたカシスリキュールが良い仕事をしてくれたようです 😉 2枚目、左上がジューンベリージャム、その下がカード、右上はルバーブジャムで、下はビワジャムです。（実は作るばかりであまり消費しないので、なかなか無くならないの…😅）

Flower of the Week, 8th April 2024.

We have several trees and shrubs in bloom at the moment, including 2 Amelanchier Canadensis. This shrub, originating obviously enough from Canada, blossoms before the leaves grow. After the blossom the shrub has a graceful, fan like or conical form. The red to purple berries are edible though taste wise, they’re nothing to get excited about. The autumn colours can be spectacular so it’s a plant…
