Flowers “wave” to attract bees.
It has long been known that insects are attracted to pollinate flowers by their bright colours and sweet scents. But now a report by Welsh scientists in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology shows that long stemmed flowers which display more movement attract a wider variety of insects.

The study analysed the number and types of insects that landed on each of several varieties of flower, and correlated that with how much or how little that variety was generally swayed by the wind.
Short, fat-stalked flowers don’t wobble enough and are less attractive to pollinators; yet very wobbly flowers are just too wobbly for the insects to handle, as the insects cannot land on them.

Flowers need to wobble just the right amount to be successful in setting seeds.

Those information hoarders at Wikiversity have started a project that every flower lover should be able to help with. They are trying to log the blooming of plants in different areas. Once enough has been logged the data may be of use to horticulturalists, climate change specialists or even flower spotters.
The idea is that every time you see a growing flower in bloom you log this on the website and the dates can be collated until the bigger picture can be seen.The more data made available to the project the better so start counting flowers now!

One of the smelliest flowers in the world has bloomed in Cornwall.

But despite giving off the aroma of rotting flesh, the rare giant titan arum is drawing crowds to the Eden Project near St Austell.

Known as the corpse flower because of its revolting smell, the plant is on display in Eden’s Rainforest Biome.

The 7ft plant from Sumatra - real name amorphophallus titanum - is expected to bloom for just two or three days before it wilts.

Horticulturist Tim Grigg has been growing titans for nine years at Eden, with seeds donated by Bonn Botanical Garden in Germany.

This if his fourth success with the flower and is the second biggest example of the plant he has grown.

“As soon as I walked into the Rainforest Biome last night I could smell it a mile off - its rotting flesh-like whiff is really distinctive,” Mr Grigg said.

In January, the plant produced a fruit head of vibrant orange berries after being pollinated by Mr Grigg using a paintbrush to reach inside the giant flower head.

But no-one will be eating the titan fruit because it is potentially deadly to humans.

Although it is poisonous,a protein contained within the plant is thought to have healing properties.

Sometimes, it does not matter how hard or carefully you work on your garden you still end up with nasty bare patches in the dry summer weather. There are, however, a few simple tricks to help you spruce up your garden and have it looking like it has had a complete makeover.

Usually bare patches occur at that point in time when one flower has wilted away and you are waiting for another one to bloom.

There is not much to worry about as there are instant flowers to help solve your problem even if you are merely hours away from hosting a garden party.

The next time you are at the garden centre you should purchase perennials in containers. You should pick the ones that are brightly coloured.

Geraniums, daisies and scaevolas are the best option as they are available throughout most of the season and they are fairly hearty and able to survive whatever late summer can throw at them. The next step is the most simple - you just have to take the hangers off of the baskets and place the baskets of flowers where you have bare patches. These plastic containers are fairly shallow so they will be hidden by other plants in your flower bed.

This is a solution you can use all summer long, once you are done with covering up one space you can move the basket along to another.

If you’re growing Hydrangea Marcrophylla (French Hydrangea) you can turn it from pink to blue by lowering the pH level of your soil. The colour is determined by the amount of aluminium available to the plant. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of aluminium sulphate to a gallon of water. Apply it 2 times, 2 weeks apart, for 4 to 6 months prior to blooming. You can also add coffee grounds, eggshells, lemon juice or ground-up citrus peel to the soil. You’re trying for a pH of 5-6.

On a similar note, blue hydrangeas can be changed to pink by adding 3-8 cups (depending on the size of the plant) of dolomic lime around the base of the hydrangea. Do this 2 or 3 times between the blooming seasons. As an alternative, you can also try a bit of superphosphate around the base of the plant. Go for a pH of 6.8-7.2.

The colour change doesn’t happen overnight so be patient. It can take as long as a year or two to see the results. The white varieties of hydrangea (such as PeeGee, Silver Leaf, Hills of Snow, etc.) cannot be changed. They remain white regardless of tampering with the pH of the soil.
