In the Plantae kingdom comprising of over 3,500 species and about 250 noted genera came the Liliaceae family, also known as the 'Lily' family. They fall under the order of Liliales. All plants in this family are perennial; therefore after flowering they die back to underground bulbs, corms or rhizomes and then return back again year after year. They are often found to be a prime example of monocotyledonous plants. In the past the Liliaceae family had many genera clumped into one big family, but recent reclassification systems (i.e. APG III Classification System) have assigned many of the genera commonly associated with Liliaceae to different families such as: Alliums- now part of the family Amaryllidaeceae, and Hostas which are now of the family Asparagaceae. This meant that there was a huge reduction in the number of genera of the Liliaceae family. However, the Liliaceae still comprises of 16 genera- such as Fritillaria, Tulipa and Lilium- and 635 species of herbs and shrubs which are all under the order of Liliales.
They grow in temperate and subtropical climates and many are not native to the United Kingdom, they adapt well to our growing conditions and are available freely from local nurseries. Generally, most plants in the Liliaceae family have six segments or tepals. Several have bulbs, some have rhizomes.
I chose the Liliaceae family for my report as many of the species within the family are very beautiful, and can often and can add quite a calming tone to a setting. This is a good reason in itself to cultivate them.
“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin” - Matthew 6:28
Furthermore, as the Liliaceae family is primarily ornamental they have a significant commercial value i...

Uses
A potential use for tulips could be for spring interest due to their bright colours and their wonderful spring flowers. Another common use is cut flowers in floristry
Constraints
Tulipa linefolia
Tulipa linefolia falls into the Tulipa division system in division 15 which is a miscellaneous group. The flowers in this group are produced
Tulipa saxatilus

I am going to identify the plants in each area and count them. I will
Many variations and species of plants can be found all around the world and in different habitats. These variations and characteristics are due to their adaptations to the natural habitat surrounding them. In three of many climatic zones, the arid, tropical and temperate zone, plants that vary greatly from each other are found in these locations. In this experiment, we’ll be observing the connection between the adaptations of the plants to their environment at the Fullerton Arboretum. The arboretum is a space containing numerous plants from different environments. The plants are carefully looked after and organized into their specific habitat. Therefore, we’ll be able to take a look at the plants within multiple
These results gave us a chi-square statistic of .06787 and with a degree of freedom of 1, this .06787 is below the critical value of .05 so therefore the results do follow typical patterns of inheritance. This means that our hypothesis for the monohybrid cross was correct, the F2 generation follows Mendelian inheritance patterns. In the dihybrid cross, the observed results were 487 or 55.7 % of the plants had anthocyanin dark green leaves, 166 or 19% of the plants had anthocyanin yellowish green leaves, 136 or 15.6% of the plants had no anthocyanin dark green leaves, and 85 or 9.7% of the plants had no anthocyanin yellowish green leaves. These results gave us a chi-square statistic of 21.703 and with the degrees of freedom at 3 this is still well below the critical value of .05 and therefore the dihybrid cross does not follow typical patterns of inheritance. This means that our hypothesis for the dihybrid cross was rejected, the F2 generation of Brassica rapa did not follow Mendelian inheritance patterns. The results show that the monohybrid cross did follow Mendelian inheritance patterns, while the dihybrid
specimens with the corresponding scientific description, photographs, specific maps and there are drawings that document the research. This collected images of plants continue the artist’s fascination with documentation, community engagement and art as a way to address larger social issues. This exhibit was interning to me to see all the different plant and to know that plants in the city unknown to most there are often edible, medicinal or even poisonous plants.
The Steinhardt Conservatory is a $25 million complex holding BBG's extensive indoor collection in realistic environments that simulate a range of global habitats. The Tropical Pavilion, 65 feet high, re-creates a rain forest complete with a waterfall and streams. Flora from the Amazon Basin, African Rain Forest, and tropical eastern Asia thrive here. The Helen Mattin Warm Temperate Pavilion houses plants from central China, the Mediterranean, Australasia, southern Africa, and the western U.
As a result of these factors, the flora has adapted to these conditions in a variety of ways including their shape, leaf type, root system, and color. One of the most prominent adapt...

Roughly 18,000 plants species are native to the numerous ecosystems of North America. Our native flora, United States native plants, allocates the infrastructure of the historic American landscape and determines the diverse ecosystems and regions of our country. These plants also supply natural sources of food, fiber, and other elements that we rely on for everyday life.
Echinacea is a flowering plant that can be found all over the United States and Canada. With nine varieties, Echinacea also goes by other names, including black-eyed Susan and purple coneflower.
The Spotted Knapweed; its original name Centaurea Maculosa is a member of the sunflower family, there you might see how some ways they are alike. Spotted Knapweed can grow from 1-4feet tall, and its rigid body is green with traces of black and brown
Tulips represent beauty, says Pollan. He explains that in 17th century Holland, the beauty of the tulip was considered more valuable than money. In fact a man paid the price of a town house for a single tulip bulb. Pollan assimilates the tulip with human vanity. He compares the 17th century ‘tulip craze’ to the modern woman spending hours in front of a mirror painting her face with make-up, and the power that our aesthetical preferences’ has in our lives.
The opium poppy has been used as a medicinal plant for centuries all over the world. The opium poppy plant belongs to the Papaveraceae family. The scientific name of the opium poppy is Papaver somniferum L., and it is native to Turkey. The plant has lobed leaves, milky sap and four to six petaled flowers with several stamens surrounding the ovary. The two sepals drop off when the petals unfold. The ovary then develops into a short, many seeded capsule that opens in dry weather. The small seeds of the opium poppy plant are dispersed by wind. The plant has five inch purple or white flowers on plants three to sixteen feet tall. It is and annual plant which needs to be planted only once for several years of harvest. There are many varieties of poppy plants grown other then the opium poppy, mostly for seasonings, oil, birdseed and attractive flowers.
Tomatoes, ‘Aubergines’ (Eggplant), Capsicum Peppers, Capsicum ‘Anuum’ (hot pepper) and potatoes are grown in a similar way and belongs to the ‘Solanaceae’ (Nightshade family).
Planning, planting and taking care of my gardens can be a full-time job, but it is a loving habit that I look forward to visiting daily. I try to plant a new perennial each season, this type of flower returns every year and it often multiplies. I usually split these plants year after year and have many varieties without having to spend a lot of money to get your gardens growing. I like to include annuals too; these do not return yearly but it adds beauty and variety to my great collection of flowers.
