The Harbinger NEWSLETTER of the Illinois Native Plant Society . .dedicated to the preservation , conservation , and study of native plants and vegetation in Illinois." WINTER 2013 Volume 30, No. 1 Thick dollops of wet snow adorn the dormant plants at Somme Prairie Nature Preserve, Cook County, Illinois. After a record breaking period without snow in Chicago, a storm finally brought snow that fell fast and blanketed the trees. Southern Illinois also had its share of thick wet snow in two storms around Christmas. Members of the southern chapter can’t remember when they had seen so much snow in the past! The ephemeral snow will soon be replaced by ephemeral wildflowers during another beautiful spring in our wonderful Illinois! - Christopher David Benda , Editor GO GREEN!

With this issue of the Harbinger, Ground Hog’s Day may have come and gone. But use this date to remember each year to get your membership renewed. If you are a lifetime member, please consider a donation to help with the costs of Erigenia and other mailing expenses. Renewals envelopes have been sent out for your convenience. We exist because of your support! This year the Central Chapter will be hosting our 2013 Annual meeting. The date and place are being determined and the information will be shared has soon as possible. Word has it they are looking to a late summer or early fall date. Looking over the history of the INPS, I note that gardening with our native plants has always been supported by the organization and scholarly articles on this subject encouraged for submission to the Erigenia. Since I have a botanic gardening background, this topic is important to me. And I do try to keep up with what is going on in the many trade magazines. You have been warned! The December 2012 issue of Growing. The Business of Fruits. Nuts and Vegetables features a cover article on native bees and crop pollination. In particular, the article by Kathleen Hatt, encourages providing and protecting native bee habitat surrounding the crop areas. Hedgerows, fencerows, riparian buffers and other odd corners are presented as good places to provide native bee habitat. More importantly the author promotes using plants native to a growers’ area, including the use of native shrubs and trees. Avoiding use of highly invasive plants is also mentioned, as well as pesticide reduction. The article follows guidelines recommended by the Pollinator Partnership, http://www.pollinator.org and the Xerces Society, http: //www.xerces.org . But the author also shares the web site of a broad, ongoing European pollinator study at http://www.step-proiect.net/img/uplf/STEP factsheet ENG.pdf . This site has many scholarly articles on issues related to pollinators. The intended audience of this article is the diversified truck farmer, berry grower or such often located fairly close to their consumers. In areas that are increasingly subdivided, as in northeast Illinois, these growers can help link our preserves. Protecting our native plants is not just for those involved in natural areas management. We need an increased understanding of the value of native plants by anyone that has their own piece of earth, that consumes plants requiring pollination, or enjoys birding. In other news: I have applied and been selected to take part in the Landscapes for Life Train the Trainer webinar presented as a joint project by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center and the U.S. Botanic Garden, http : / /landscapef orlife . or g . The webinar is designed to enable the trainees to teach the curriculum to others. After my training, I can train members from around the state and they can, in turn, use the curriculum to help people create more sustainable landscapes, build membership in the INPS and help provide a solid resource to all the communities we live in. With many of our members with educational backgrounds, an already prepared curriculum and our knowledge base to adapt native plant lists to each region of the state, we seem like a good fit for the program. There are no costs and the only obligation is on me to be sure I teach the curriculum within the year. The webinar runs in April and May and I will make another report. Please support our efforts to raise $1,000 to sponsor Erigenia bulbosa in the upcoming 5th edition of Flora of the Chicago Region.

Let's Sponsor Erigenia bulbosa in the New Flora of the Chicago Region! Plants of the Chicago Region, by Floyd Swink and Gerould Wilhelm, is a highly valued tool for students of Illinois native plants and for professionals in natural area management in northeastern Illinois. The current 4' h edition was published in 1994. To update this work, Gerould Wilhelm and Laura Rericha have begun a brave new project, an expanded 5 th edition, titled Flora of the Chicago Region. Authors Wilhelm and Rericha are blending floristic,, faunistic, and geological observations in this original reference. The synthesis of other organisms, plant and animal, that are interlinked with our species is heretofore unknown among floristic works of this scale. The Conservation Research Institute in conjunction with the Indiana Academy of Sciences is offering a sponsorship opportunity 1 to help fund the preparation of this new valuable resource. We have the op portun ity to raise the $1,000 nece ssary to sponsor Erigenia bulbosa , our journal's namesake. Sponsorship at the Plantsman level ($1,000} provides recognized sponsorship of a species, three signed copies of the new book, and an invitation for three to the catered initial book signing gala. One of the signed copies will be presented to the winner of a drawing among all those who donate to the sponsorship, one chance per every $10.00 donated. The gala invitations will also be distributed by drawing. The other two signed copies will be audio ned off during successive Annual meetings. Details: Donations can be sent to INPS, Forest Glen Preserve. 20301 E. 9000 North Road, Westville, IL. 61B33 And will be accepted until the end of 2013.

Spring Flowers Keep Pace With Warming Climate. Blooming Up to a Month Earlier Science 11 Using the meticulous phenological records of two iconic American naturalists, Henry David Thoreau and Aldo Leopold, scientists have demonstrated that native plants in the eastern United States are flowering as much as a month earlier in response to a warming climate. The new study is important because it gives scientists a peek inside the black box of ecological change. The work may also help predict effects on important agricultural crops, which depend on flowering to produce fruit. The study was published online Jan. 16 in PLoS One by a team of researchers from Boston and Harvard Universities and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Dow AgroSciences officials said Friday that they now expect the first sales of Enlist for planting in 2014. Previously officials had set the 2013 planting season as a target, but U.S. farmers are already buying seed for planting this spring, and Dow has yet to secure U.S. approval for Enlist. Dow wants to roll out Enlist corn, and then soybeans and cotton to be used in combination with its new Enlist herbicide that combines the weed-killers 2,4-D and glyphosate. The Enlist crops are genetically altered to tolerate treatments of the Enlist herbicide mixture. The hope is that Enlist will wipe out an explosion of crop-choking weeds that have become resistant to glyphosate alone. Opponents have bombarded Dow and U.S. regulators with an array of concerns about Enlist, which is intended to replace Monsanto Co.'s successful Roundup Ready system. Genetically altered Roundup Ready corn and soybeans now dominate the U.S. corn and soybean market. But as Roundup Ready crops have gained popularity, millions of acres of weeds have developed resistance to Roundup herbicide, causing farmers to use higher quantities of Roundup and other herbicides to try to beat back the weeds. Critics warn that adding more herbicides to already resistant weed populations will only expand and accelerate weed resistance. Some have likened the problem to a "chemical arms race" across farm country.

Additional information can be found at this link - http://www.nisaw.org . • Invasive Plant of the Month - Common Valerian ( Valeriana officinalis) Common Valerian (Family Valerianaceae) is a perennial that is native to Eurasia It was intentionally introduced to the United States for medicinal and ornamental purposes. http://www.flowers.goodpages.co.uk/index.php?page=common-valerian . Its dried rhizomes yield valerian, a natural sedative. Common Valerian can be found in open or semi-shaded areas, roadsides, forest and stream edges, and fields and will grow on a variety of soils. It grows up to 5ft. tall with characteristic sparsely-leaved stems that have pairs of branches which end in flowers during the summer (June- September). The white to pink flowers are arranged in umbel form with three umbels topping the central (tallest) stem which is grooved, round, hollow, and hairy near the base. Leaves are paired and formed of leaflets with coarsely cut teeth, strongly veined on top and hairy below. Individual flowers are tubular with five lobes and have a distinctive spicy, va nill a ice cream fragrance. Common Valerian spreads by seeds and above ground stolons. It has been reported in Lake County, Illinois by Lake Forest Open Lands Association. •An article on identification and control of woody invasive plants in fall and winter has just been added to the Illinois ISAM newsblog. This article is reprinted from the Fall 2012 Newsletter of the Illinois Forestry Association, http ://illinoisisam.blo gspot. com/20 12/1 2/identification-and-control-of- woodv.html • A new edition to the fun 'Invasive Species Slogans' series has been added on the Illinois ISAM newsblog.

The Southern Chapter of INPS received an award from the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund to develop and print a 24 by 36 inch poster titled “Wildflowers of Southern Illinois”. The poster features high-quality, colorful photographs of 16 wildflowers found in southern Illinois, along with the plants’ scientific and common name and coefficient of conservatism (C). The C value ranges from 0 to 10, where a 0 is assigned to plants which are found in degraded habitats and 10 is assigned to plants in preserved natural areas. All photographs were taken by INPS Southern Chapter President, Chris Benda. Posters will be available free of charge to anyone interested in learning more about the native flora of southern Illinois. The posters will be available to the public at our many programs. They will also be distributed for display at colleges and universities, visitor centers, government offices, and at primary and secondary schools. iK»p voltk Instructors MlckaeL Oeffordls SusaK Post ■H April 13, 2^13, ^aw- 4p^^^j|)P CoTViiviuKlt^ lvC 102 Cast LlvlKgstoK Stre«t7MokvtLceLLo x ILK: .
