These are all the things I want to grow and have the seeds for this year, though some things are missing from this list. I still need more soil, most of the produce goes to the senior center so if anyone wants to throw me 3 dollars for a bag of dirt it goes to a good cause, I also save seeds and distribute them to neighbors and some of the people at the senior center. This blog is my only income source as I am an unpaid live-in aide for an elderly woman. No pressure though. Also if anyone just wants to put gardening discussions in my inbox I am totally up for that!

Game Assets Notes

These are plants shown in Dragon Age but aren't named in universe, just in their model files or through identification of the textures. Since most filler plant textures are just that of real world plants.

**NOTE:** When I mention they are not the known name of any plant, this comes with the caveat of being popular common names. Common names are highly variable and inconsistent. They depend on regional knowledge and association. Some travel farther than others. Common names are also not reliable identifiers.

Acacia: Black Wood ~ Note: Black Wood is a type of acacia. Both acacia and black wood are named assets.

Artichoke ~ Note: Identification comes from asset name, the artichoke flower is used as ornamentation of a box.

Banyan Tree

Boxwood ~ A type of shrub, identification comes from asset name.

Bradford Pear ~ Their fruits are edible, however their flowers are known to emit a smell akin to rotting meat. Identification comes from asset name.

Calla Lily ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters.

Cattail ~ Note: Seen through out DAO and DAI, identification comes from asset name.

Coleus ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters and in the Frostback Basin.

Crape Myrtle

Cypress: Italian Cypress, Topiary Cypress ~ Note: In terms of the Italian Cypress, in world it wouldl likely be called the "Antivan Cypress" given that Antiva is pulling from Italian culture, food, environments, and other inspirational elements. Cypress is a plant that is named in canon.

Daikon Radish ~ Note: Found on Dennet's farm, identification comes from asset name.

Dogwood

Elephant Ear ~ Note: Foliage found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from asset name.

Fade Berry

Fern: Red Fern, Sword Fern ~ Note: The red fern isn't a real plant and therefore can be considered unique to Thedas. In contrast the sword fern is a real plant. Identification comes from the asset name for both of these ferns.

Forest Clover

Foxleaf ~ Note: This is another plant that is not real, no plant has this common name as far as I could find.

Gasbloom ~ Note: Seen in the Arbor Wilds, the Frostback Basin some elven ruins, and the elven ruins of multiplayer levels. Their identification comes from the asset name. There are two versions of the texture the "fixed" version is used in JoH dlc and thus explains the difference in appearance. This is not the name of a known mushroom.

Hero Tree

Palm: Curly Palm, Fan Palm ~ Note: Both palms are seen in the Frostback Basin, both are identified by their named assets.

Pear Cactus ~ Note: Found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from the asset name.

Pine: Chir Pine

Ponga Tree ~ Note: Also known as the 'Tree Fern'. This is the tree you see in Val Royeaux garden as coming from Par Vollen, and throughout the Arbor Wilds.

Redwood ~ Note: Identified by the name of the file asset. Found in the Winter Palace, Exalted Plains, and on multiplayer maps.

Snapdragon

Trex

Waterweed ~ Note: In real life this is an entire genus not one particular plant. Though the six plants in this genus do share the common name of waterweed.

White Birch

Witchhazel

Additional Notes and Trivia

Ironwood - Unclear if this is an alternative name, the actual name of the plant, or both.

Morel - This mushroom is inferred due to the existence of Blighted Morel. However it is not explicitly specified there is a non-blighted morel.

Sponge Root - Though canonical as it is mentioned and shown in World of Thedas vol. 2 on pg. 138 with a collection of deep mushroom and surface mushroom illustrations. This mushroom was cut twice from Inquisition. It was cut from the base game as a craftable, it had a much different appearance from its final design, and then it was cut again from Trespasser. It does however still make an appearance in Inquisition as the inventory icon for Crystal Grace.

Unnamed Glowing Mushroom Is mentioned in multiplayer when there are two Lukas playing.

Unnamed Mushroom These brown mushrooms are seen in the Fallow Mire and the Frostback Basin. They are shown in two different sizes ranging from shorter than a dwarf to taller than one.

There is one unlisted mushroom, its assets is named "red mushroom" and thus is identified by textures. These is not a canon name but is included for completeness. Amanita Muscaria: More commonly know as fly agaric or fly amanita, the red top with white spots is an iconic in its imagery. You will find large swaths of these mushrooms in the Frostback Basin. Their assets is named "Red Mushroom".

Winterberry is a real plant. However, from what we see in DA2, it does not the same as the plant we have in the real world, just a shared common name.

Wormroot is another real plant name. However, due to the description in The Calling, it does not seem to be the same plant. In The Calling it is used to treat the venom of a giant spider. The real world plant is used to treat parasites in the gut and does not seem to hold any shared uses in folk lore, folk medicine, or western medicine practices.

pls talk ab plants

HOW DID I NEVER SEE THIS 😭😭😭❤️ well I made a blog for my plants because I thought no one really cared here!! ( @creepyhouseplant )

BUT. Since you asked,

Everyone on my other blog seems to REALLY like my carnivorous plants!! I have more than this, but I'm answering this from work so I have to use the pictures I already have on my phone lol. Aren't they cool?!! Top left is my absolute FAVORITE! those are butterworts 😁 I'm going to be trading one of them away this week for a black coral colocasia and I don't want to part with it almost 😭 then my sundew top right, that's a spoon leaf. I had a cape sundew, but I traded that ( & $10) for all the pitchers in the bottom picture. Well, all except the purple one, I bought that one. The purple one is a sarracenia pitcher (you can tell by the trumpet shape of the pitchers! And they don't really produce leaves like the others). The rest are baby nepenthes pitchers, I'm not sure what variety they are, but grown nepenthes look something like this (but there are so many varieties honestly!!):

My favorite nepenthes are the ones with the short fat pitchers though 😁😁😁

And I also seem to be collecting all kinds of alocasias!!

I have more alocasias than this, but pictured are: top left, zebrina, top right silver dragon, middle black velvet, bottom left red cuprea, bottom right stingray.

I just think they're neat!! I can't get enough of them honestly 😭 my cuprea isn't doing so well, but I'm trying so hard lol. I just repotted the zebrina last night, and it's SO mad at me right now, it's all wilty and pouting, but it'll come back up. I repotted some of my others last night too, the others weren't so mad (I repotted my inchplant and white splash, pictured below- just the white splash pictured, I can't add anymore pictures but I can add a picture in another post or in a reblog if you want to see it, it's also pictured in the background to the left in the silver dragon and black velvet alocasia pictures I just realized):

Oh also!! I can't add anymore pictures to this post, but my begonia and one of my coleus's are blooming!!!

Both of those are great! I used to have a rabbit’s foot fern, but it was very little and I killed it before it even got into a viv :( I do want to try again, though... I love those rhizomes and they would fit really well into the theme with those, I think. The nursery I went to the last time didn’t have them, or I’d have some already. But I’m planning on making a trip to a couple of the other nearby nurseries soon, to see what they have.

Coleus is also one of my faves... I have two different varieties in those vivs already, specifically because I wanted those pops of color lol but I don’t have oxblood. I think one of them is either chili pepper or chipotle... it’s small pointier leaves with splotched color. But now I need one that’s fully red, so I’ll have to keep my eye out for those!

#i have some black dragon coleus seeds around somewhere too #might have to find those #because that is possibly my favorite coleus #or i could just find a full grown version...#the-long-dog #replies

Creating Ambiance With Gardens

During his 40-year career as a garden writer and photographer, Derek Fell has designed numerous garden spaces, many involving his wife Carolyn. The best example of their work can be seen at their home, historic Cedaridge Farm, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. There, they have designed more than twenty theme areas, including shade gardens, sunny perennial borders, tapestry gardens involving trees and shrubs, a cottage garden, herb garden, cutting garden and an ambitious water garden.

Derek worked as a consultant on garden design to the White House during the Gerald Ford Administration. Derek designed Ford's 'Win' garden, following his 'Win Speech', advising the nation ten ways to fight inflation.

Many garden designs by Derek Fell have been implemented without inspecting the site. The great late architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed beautiful homes for his clients, entirely from photographs without the need for a site inspection.

Fell's garden spaces have been featured in newspapers, magazines, books and also on television, including Architectural Digest, Gardens Illustrated, The Garden (the magazine of the Royal Horticultural Society), Country Gardens, HGTV, QVC and PBS.

Derek has authored more than sixty books and garden calendars, including 550 Home Landscaping Ideas (Simon & Schuster), The Encyclopedia of Garden Design (Firefly Books), The Complete Garden Planning Manual (Friedman), Garden Accents (Henry Holt) and Home Landscaping (Simon & Schuster).

Curb appeal and ambiance are important to brighten up your propoerty or prepare it for sale. Feel free to ask Derek any garden related questions regardless of how big or small.

SOME GARDEN TYPES

Water Garden. Water is the music of nature. It can be tricked over stones, cascaded from a great height so its crashes onto rocks. It can fall in a solid sheet or as silver threads. A beautiful water garden with waterfalls and stepping stones can be located in sunlight or shade. The water garden shown here is located at Cedaridge Farm. It includes a pool for dipping, and it features both a collection of koi and hardy water lilies. A popular water garden design features a koi pool fed by a series of waterfalls, and the water re-circulated through filters to keep the water clear.

Sunny Perennial Border. This can be formal or informal, square, rectangular, round and kidney shaped, in the form of an island bed or backed against a decorative hedge, wall or fence. Plants can be chosen to produce a parade of color through all the seasons, or concentrated for a particular season. Color themes can be polychromatic like a rainbow, monochromatic (for example all white - perfect for a wedding), or it can feature an Impressionist color harmony, such as yellow and purple; orange and blue; red, pink and silver; blue, pink and white; even black and white or black and orange (one of Monet's favorites). A popular perennial garden design is two parallel border with a grass path leading to a focal point such as a sculpture or gazebo.

Tropical Garden. You do not need to live in a frost-free area to have a beautiful tropical garden. At Cedaridge Farm we have two - one is a tribute to the design philosophy of the late Roberto Burle Marx, who designed dramatic tropical gardens around Rio. It is in a lightly shaded area and features plants that are hardy (like 'Sum & Substance' hosta) but look tropical and tender plants that are tender (like banana trees and tree ferns) that either need moving indoors during winter or can be discarded like annuals at the end of the season. Our second tropical space is a patio with tropical plants grown in containers.

Shade Gardens. We design two kinds of shade gardens - one where the plants provide mostly foliage interest (like ferns, hostas, heuchera and hakone grass), and plants that flower well (like impatiens, coleus, and lilies), or a combination of the two.

Woodland Garden. Whether you have existing woodland or you need to create a woodland from scratch, the result can be sensational. Decide whether you want deciduous trees that provide fall color or evergreens that stay green all winter, or a mixture. At Cedaridge we made a 'cathedral' garden where the existing trees are trimmed high so the trunks look like the columns of a cathedral, and the branches arch out to meet overhead like the vaulted ceiling of a cathedral. Below, we provide two more layers of interest, at ground level and the under-story.

Vegetable Garden. We can design you an easy-care garden of raised beds where vegetables are planted in blocks or an edible landscape where edibles are grown for ornamental effect. We can provide the plan for a garden that was approved for the White house during the Ford Administration where Derek Fell worked as a garden consultant. Derek Fell's book, "Vegetables - How to Select, Grow & Enjoy", won a best book award from the Garden Writers Association.

Herb Garden. The herb garden at Cedaridge Farm is a 'quadrant design', feature in numerous calendars and books, including Derek Fell's 'Herb Gardening for Beginners.' We can also provide a cartwheel design or a parterre herb garden for bountiful harvests of fresh herbs. The Herb Garden can also do double-duty as a vegetable garden.

Cutting Garden. The cutting garden at Cedaridge Farm features bulbs such as tulips and daffodils for spring, and ever-blooming annuals to follow the bulbs so armloads of flowers can be harvested from April through October.

Victorian Garden. A garden with romantic overtones! Imagine a white gazebo framed by mostly white flowers for a wedding in the family. Or choose from among several color harmonies, such as yellow and blue, red, pink and silver, or blue, pink and white.

Cottage Garden. You don't need a cottage to have a cottage garden. But if you do, such as a guest cottage, why not wrap it in shrub roses and climbers, plus those delightful English cottage garden plants like poppies, sunflowers and pinks. We also like to include plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Stream Garden. Lucky you if you have an existing stream to be landscaped. At Cedaridge Farm we have a stream, but when we moved here it was overgrown with poison ivy and brambles. Today it is criss-crossed with bridges, and beds of moisture-loving plants like astilbe and water iris. If you don't have a stream, but would like one, we can create a design where the water is re-circulated along one that's man-made but looks natural.

Orchard. You don't need a lot of space for a productive orchard. By making the right choices, fruit trees can be grown in containers or espaliered against fences and walls to save space. Peaches and apples can be trained over arbors. Just a few plants of small fruits like strawberries and raspberries can be highly productive.

Bog Garden. Ideal for soils that tend to remain moist all season, bog gardens can be extremely colorful and highly imaginative, incorporating stepping stones and bridges to cross wet areas, and growing some of nature's most diverse plant families, such as water iris, Japanese primroses, astilbe and waterlilies.

Japanese Garden. The problem with many Japanese gardens is a tendency to use pseudo-Japanese elements such as Chinese dragons. Derek Fell has twice traveled to Japan, has written award-winning articles about Japanese garden design, and has the experience to design authentic-looking spaces in the Japanese tradition using elements of Zen or Feng Shui, or a combination of the two disciplines to create a magical space.

Italian Garden. Although Italian gardens can be highly ostentatious, requiring steep slopes to achieve the best effect, like the Villa d'Este, near Rome, small spaces can achieve the aura of an Italian garden. Derek Fell has not only visited some of the finest Italian Gardens, such as La Mortola on the Italian coast, and Boboli overlooking Florence, he has toured and photographed the Vatican Gardens.

French Formal Garden. The elaborate style of Versailles Palace and Vaux le Vicompte, may be beyond your means, but elements of French garden design, such as a parterre garden, can be incorporated in small spaces.

Monet's Garden. This beautiful artist's garden north of Paris contains more than a hundred special planting ideas to create what Monet considered his greatest work of art. Moreover, his planting ideas have undoubtedly inspired more new garden design than any other garden. Monet's arched bridge, his waterlily pond, his arches leading to the entrance of his house, and his color harmonies are just some examples of Monet's innovation that people today like to emulate.

Cleaned up my plants and windowsills! 🏝🏝🏝🏝 The bigge boi is my dream plant, a Dragon's Blood Tree ("Dracaena draco"), and he weighs like 60+ pounds, MINIMUM, I s2g. I'm amazed I was able to deadlift him up the whole stairway (in a very smooth pot with no grips) when I could barely move him 5 feet into the house after potting him last month. (And the grow light is there because I don't think it's quite enough sunlight, but he's been doing well inside with NO direct light for the past month, so...) 🐉 I also have 2 new Poinsettias ("Euphorbia pulcherrima") bc I'm all about that #tropicallyfe !! One's a pinky salmon colour, and the other is red and white variegated "Mexican Flameleaf". My mom also has a classic red one we're gonna try to plant in the yard after it stops blooming. 🌹 My "Cordyline indivisa" got his pot painted gold finally to match all my shit. He's looking REALLY great and has grown A LOT. I feel bad that his brother I kept outside died last spring, but that's why I kept them separate! 🏝 I also got a Christmas Cactus ("Schlumbergera bridgesii") and unfortunately did not have a pot big enough for all 4 of them to stay together, so I had to separate them out, and now their flowers and buds are dropping off. 🙃😥 But better that than staying in the gross nursery pot. (I know, they like to be pot-bound, but I can't keep a black nursery pot inside, it's not #aesthetic .) 🎄 My other plants are still kickin' - Persian Shield plants ("Strobilanthus") and Dark Star Coleus ("Coleus"). I tried propagating both from a clipping, but I think it's too cold for them downstairs... so. The jury's still out on those. (Also pictured: Arrowhead Plant/"Syngonium podophyllum" and Rubber Plant/"Ficus elastica"). 💖 I still have a bunch more plant-organizing to do on my vanity counter, so stay tuned for that. (But only if I stop procrastinating it.) 🌈 #plants #indoorgardening #indoorplants #plantlyfe #organization #dracaenadraco #dracaena #dragonsbloodtree #dragontree #euphorbiapulcherrima #euphorbia #euphorbiaceae #poinsettia #tropicalplants #cordyline #cordylineindivisa #dracaenaspikes #schlumbergera #schlumbergerabridgesii #christmascactus #persianshield #coleus https://www.instagram.com/coridallasmultipass/p/CXKi70jFr3n/?utm_medium=tumblr

The very best instance of their operate can be considered at their house, historical Cedaridge Farm, in Dollars County, Pennsylvania.

Control appeal and atmosphere are critical to brighten up your propoerty or prepare it for sale. Believe cost-free to inquire Derek any garden relevant queries no matter of how large or minor.

SOME GARDEN TYPES

Drinking water Garden. Water is the tunes of character. It can be tricked over stones, cascaded from a great top so its crashes on to rocks. It can drop in a sound sheet or as silver threads. A beautiful water garden with waterfalls and stepping stones can be discovered in sunshine or shade. The water garden revealed here’s located at Cedaridge Farm. It incorporates a pool for dipping, and it attributes both a collection of koi and hardy water lilies. A well-known water garden design features a koi pool fed by a sequence of waterfalls, and the water re-circulated by means of filters to sustain the water distinct.

Sunny Perennial Border. This can be official or casual, sq.}, rectangular, spherical and kidney fashioned, in the form of an island mattress or sponsored in opposition to a attractive hedge, wall or fence. Crops can be decided on to produce a parade of coloration through all the years, or targeted for a specific season. Shade themes can be polychromatic like a rainbow, monochromatic (for example all white – ideal for a marriage ceremony), or it can feature an Impressionist color stability, this sort of as yellow and purple; orange and blue; red, pink and silver; blue, pink and white; even black and white or black and orange (one of Monet’s favorites). A popular perennial garden design is 2 parallel border with a grass course creating a focal point such as a sculpture or gazebo.

Tropical Garden. You do not need to reside in a frost-free area to have a beautiful tropical garden. At Cedaridge Farm we’ve two – one is a tribute to the design philosophy of the late Roberto Burle Marx, who designed spectacular tropical gardens all around Rio. It really is in a frivolously shaded area and features crops that are hardy (like ‘Quantity & Compound’ hosta) but look tropical and tender plants that are tender (like banana trees and tree ferns) that possibly need relocating indoors during wintertime or can be discarded like annuals at the end of the season. Our minute tropical space is a patio with tropical plants developed in packing containers.

Shade Gardens. We design two sorts of shade gardens – one the place the plants provide primarily foliage focus (like ferns, hostas, heuchera and hakone grass), and plants that flower well (like impatiens, coleus, and lilies), or a blend of the two.

Woodland Garden. Whether or not you’ve got current woodland or you need to create a woodland from scratch, the result can be sensational. Decide whether you want deciduous trees that provide fall color or evergreens that remain green all winter, or a mixture. At Cedaridge we manufactured a ‘cathedral’ garden where the existing trees are trimmed higher so the trunks look like the columns of a cathedral, and the branches arch out to fulfill overhead like the vaulted ceiling of a cathedral. Right here, we provide two more levels of interest, at floor stage and the underneath-tale.

Vegetable Garden. We can design you an basic-care garden of elevated beds where veggies are planted in blocks or an edible landscape where edibles are grown for ornamental result. We can provide the plan for a garden that was acknowledged for the White house during the Ford Administration where Derek Fell worked as a garden consultant. Derek Fell’s book, “Veggies – How to Pick, Increase & Adore”, won a best book award from the Garden Writers Affiliation.

Herb Garden. The herb garden at Cedaridge Farm is a ‘quadrant design’, feature in numerous calendars and books, including Derek Fell’s ‘Herb Gardening for Novices.’ We can also provide a cartwheel design or a parterre herb garden for bountiful harvests of refreshing herbs. The Herb Garden can also do double-responsibility as a vegetable garden.

Slicing Garden. The cutting garden at Cedaridge Farm features bulbs such as tulips and daffodils for spring, and ever-blooming annuals to follow the bulbs so armloads of bouquets can be harvested from April through Oct.

Victorian Garden. A garden with passionate overtones! Picture a white gazebo framed by mostly white flowers for a wedding in the loved ones. Or select from in between several color harmonies, such as yellow and blue, red, pink and silver, or blue, pink and white.

Cottage Garden. You are going to not need a cottage to have a cottage garden. Nevertheless if you do, such as a visitor cottage, why not wrap it in shrub roses and climbers, additionally individuals delicious English cottage garden plants like poppies, sunflowers and pinks. We also like to include plants to draw butterflies and hummingbirds.

Flow Garden. Fortunate you if you have an existing circulation to be landscaped. At Cedaridge Farm we have a stream, but after we moved here it was overgrown with poison ivy and brambles. These days it truly is criss-crossed with bridges, and beds of dampure-loving plants like astilbe and water iris. If you don’t have a stream, but needs one, we can create a design where the water is re-circulated alongside one that is man-made but seems organic.

Orchard. You don’t need a good deal of space for a successful orchard. By making the right alternatives, fruit trees can be grown in containers or espaliered against fences and partitions to help save space. Peaches and apples can be educated over arbors. Simply a handful of plants of small end result like strawberries and raspberries can be extremely productive.

Bog Garden. Optimum for soils that tend to remain moist all season, bathroom gardens can be extremely colourful and highly creative, incorporating stepping stones and bridges to cross soaked areas, and developing some of nature’s most different plant family members, such as water iris, Eastern primroses, astilbe and waterlilies.

Japanese Garden. The dilemma with many Japanese gardens is a inclination to use pseudo-Japanese ingredients such as Chinese dragons. Derek Fell has two times traveled to Japan, has prepared award-profitable content about Japanese garden design, and has the confront to design unique-seeking spaces in the Japanese custom making use of elements of Zen or Feng Shui, or a combination of the two disciplines to create a magical space.

Italian Garden. Though Italian gardens can be highly ostentatious, necessitating steep slopes to acquire the best effect, like the Villa d’Este, shut Rome, small spaces can achieve the aura of an Italian garden. Derek Fell hasn’t entirely frequented some of the best Italian Gardens, such as La Mortola on the Italian coastline, and Boboli overlooking Florence, he has toured and photographed the Vatican Gardens.

French Official Garden. The elaborate flavor of Versailles Palace and Vaux le Vicompte, might be outside of your signifies, but elements of French garden design, such as a parterre garden, can be included in small spaces.

Monet’s Garden. This beautiful artist’s garden north of Paris includes more than one hundred particular planting tips to create what Monet regarded as his greatest work of art. In addition, his planting ideas have absolutely impressed more new garden design than any other garden. Monet’s arched bridge, his waterlily pond, his arches leading to the front of his house, and his color harmonies are simply some illustrations of Monet’s innovation that men and women these days like to emulate.

Tapestry Garden (Trees & Shrubs). The great French Impressionist artist, Paul Cezanne’s garden, in Provence, is made up mostly of trees and shrubs, not only as a labor preserving machine, but to provide a tapestry of color from leaf colours, leaf texture and leaf designs. What could be more eye-catching than to look out of a window of your home at a prosperous foliage panorama, including all shades of green from light green to dim-green, plus blue, silver, gold, bronze?

Hillside Garden. Even dry hillsides makes beautiful rock gardens, with paths twisting and turning in a zig-zag to create a visible experience from the prime of the slope to the base. They can be terraced and threaded with streams to create waterfalls and planted with some of nature’s most beautiful plant varieties. Bridges, benches and belvedere are some of the structural elements that can contribute interest to a hillside.
