photo by Kristi Foster President’s Comment As 2009 draws to a close, we look back over a year of 150th anniversary celebrations—from the floral clock to founder’s day—and think Henry Shaw would have been proud. This year’s Gardenland Express holiday flower and train show is our last “hurrah” in celebration of the Garden’s 150th anniversary, so I hope you won’t miss it. Amid the spectacular poinsettias and holiday greenery (mostly grown in the Garden’s greenhouses), the show features miniatures of historic Garden buildings. Speaking of historic buildings, the Garden’s geodesic dome ereenhouse, the Climatron®, turns 50 in 2010. First opened to the public October 1, 1960, the Climatron has been called a “mid-century modernist gem” and is listed as one of the most important architectural works in U.S. history. Stop by the Gate Shop and purchase a copy of the new book about the Climatron by noted modernist scholar Eric Mumford, professor of architecture at Washington University. We are delighted that Eric will sign books on December 6 and then return on January 21 to speak about the Climatron to our members. In October, the Garden hosted an historic meeting of scientists from former Soviet republics. Although many of these countries do not have diplomatic relations, the scientists met to work cooperatively to conserve plants in the threatened Caucasus region, which spans six nations. Everywhere around the world, in the 38 nations where Garden scientists do research, politics play a role. Early this year, the staff at one of our longest standing satellites—the Madagascar program, established 1971—found themselves in the middle of a coup. The subsequent lawlessness has led to plant and animal poaching—and threats on our Malagasy staff, who are trying to defend their nation’s flora. Although humans depend on plants for every aspect of our lives, we are causing a large proportion of them to vanish before our very eyes. Population growth, combined with our rising levels of consumption, our technologies, and the associated global climate change is causing the extinction to which we are witnesses. Our annual giving campaign—the Garden’s Henry Shaw Fund—raises funds for our most urgent operating needs. If you can, please make a donation this year to help. Give online or call (314) 577-9500.

MBG Hosts Historic Meeting In October, the Missouri Botanical Garden hosted an international symposium on plant conservation of the Caucasus. The Caucasus Mountains are situated between the Black Sea (Europe) and the Caspian Sea (Asia), and span six countries. The vegetation there is remarkably diverse, but with political tensions high, no country in the region was able to initiate a collaborative work. The Garden invited scientists from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Turkey, and the USS. for the first time to discuss cooperation to create a list of endangered plants. Without a list of endangered plant species, there is no scientific basis for conservation. “Plants know no borders,” says Garden associate curator Dr. Tatyana Shulkina. photo by Kathryn Lebbon Garden president Dr. Peter Raven with Dr. Vassily Yarmischko, director of the Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia. Pardon Our Progress! The Garden’s east parking lot in front of the Ridgway Visitor Center will be closed this winter for much needed repairs and improvement. The west lot will remain open at this time. In the event that the west lot is full, visitors should use the free parking at the Metro multi-modal lots at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer. Improvements include several new sustainable features. A portion of the lot will be paved with “pervious” concrete, which allows rainwater to pass directly through to be reabsorbed by the ground. A rain garden will also help keep run-off to a minimum. Lighting, irrigation, and plantings will be improved as well. This project has been made possible by federal transportation funds through MoDOT. Work is expected to be completed by April 2010.

Kew International Medal In October, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew awarded their first ever International Medal to Missouri Botanical Garden president Dr. Peter H. Raven for “distinguished, internationally-recognised work aligned with the mission of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.” The medal was presented in conjunction with the symposium held at Kew in honor of their 250th anniversary, the same year as Missouri Botanical Garden’s 150th. photo courtesy That Uppity Theater Company That Uppity Theater Company That Uppity Theatre Company In October, That Uppity Theatre Company brought the DisAbility Project to the Garden, performing for 300+ Garden staff. Founded in 1995 by artist Joan Lipkin and occupational therapist Fran Cohen, the DisAbility Project creates and performs original material to present disability as “simply another form of diversity that deserves understanding and thoughtful response.” The company is composed of people both with and without disabilities as a model of inclusion and has won numerous awards an international recognition. “We were thrilled to perform at the Garden, where there are so many positive experiences for people with disabilities,” says Lipkin. She cited the Zimmerman Sensory Garden for the sight-impaired and the Ruwitch Garden for All in the Kemper Center for Home Gardening, as well as a network of wheelchair-accessible paths, as models of inclusion. Grants and Awards MBG Anniv ersary Medal In 2009, a new medal in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Garden was commissioned. Designed by Charles Pe eayercteator of the Garden siloco, the design celebrates the history of the Garden through two of its truly iconic buildings: the Linnean House and the Climatron. To represent scientific discovery, the medal also includes nine plants that have featured prominently in Garden history or research, including sassafras, Engelmann spruce, saguaro, water lilies, evening primrose, fringe moss, milkweed, ragwort, and corn. The medal was presented to trustees, the members’ board, senior management, and major patrons. The newly commissioned MBG 150th medal. EarthWays Energy Grant In September, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources awarded a contract for management of their energy efficiency for municipalities program. The Garden’s EarthWays Center is part of the winning team. Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure Group (unaffiliated) is the project lead. The program, Energize Missouri Communities, uses federal stimulus funds to coordinate the outreach, application process, and management of projects across Missouri that will generate green jobs and increase energy efficiency in municipalities. EarthWays Center will assist with the outreach and marketing efforts of this grant. Threatened Species in Indochina The Garden recently received a project grant from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) to assess the conservation status of plant species in Indochina that are in danger of extinction in the near future. Dr. Jack Regalado, our program leader in Vietnam, will carry out the project in partnership with the Species Program of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), and institutions in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, an Thailand. The project will assess some 450 plant species, including the 248 species currently listed as being in danger of extinction. The results will be useful for decision-makers and conservation managers in protecting threatened species and managing key natural areas.

In January, the simmering power struggle between Madagascar’s elected President Marc Ravalomanana and parts of the opposition led by the Mayor of Antananarivo, Andry Rajoelina, came to a boil. Street protests were brutally repressed, parts of the military mutinied, and the President was forced into exile to be replaced by a weak transitional government (led by Rajoelina) that was considered illegitimate by most of the international community. The impact of this political instability on the Malagasy people and their environment is extremely serious. Poverty has increased as businesses, unable to function normally, have shed staff and as foreign aid agencies have withdrawn their support. In urban centers, looting and burglary have become more frequent. In Madagascar’s remaining forests, particularly those in the northeast, the anarchic exploitation of timber and precious woods has surged. yyy Madagascar has 47 species of rosewood and over 100 ebony species that occur nowhere else. Many are now at the brink of extinction. Roving and violent lumbermen hunt endangered lemurs for food while they illegally harvest these woods. Forests themselves are being degraded as trees are felled, processed, and dragged to adjacent rivers or roads for transport to the _ ; coast. No forest that contains precious woods is safe, and the Lemurs are also threatened by poachers. country’s most prestigious nature reserves and popular tourist 1 0 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin © Winter 2010 destinations, such as the Marojeyy World Heritage Site, the Masoala National Park and the Mananara Biosphere Reserve, have been the focus of intensive ~~ iy cy i i CMAU} 014200 0 14 i =yhE en Ss 338 exploitation.

Schnuck Children’s Garden through engaging nature-themed educational activities. “OUR DAUGHTER HAD S50 MUCH FUN WITH SAMANTHA, LEARNING ABOUT TREES. SHE EVEN PLAYED DRESS-UP WITH THE TREE COSTUME!” Calling all teens! Don a headlamp and venture into a Missouri cave. Hunt for fossils and insects. Learn about natural water filters, pollination, and the native Osage people. SAGE volunteers in the Doris I. Schnuck Children’s Garden lead all these activities and more each summer. SAGE stands for Students as Garden Educators. It is a service and learning program for high school students, ages 14 to 18. SAGE volunteers work with Garden staff to plant seeds of knowledge and inspire our youngest visitors to enjoy nature. Participants learn good science, improve public speaking skills, and have fun working outdoors in the beautiful Garden with other high school students from throughout the region. SAGE volunteers help children learn about trees, but in an active way, donning tree costumes and using puppet games. Kids have “bushels of fun” learning about plants as food, past and present, in the General Store as SAGE volunteers make dough or preserves and play “Can You Guess this Scent?” with herbs and spices. SAGE volunteers help children grow a new appreciation for flowers through dress-up as pollinators and enjoying a pollination “picnic.” In the Osage camp, SAGE volunteers teach about the many ways this Native American tribe used plants with weaving activities and native games. These are just a few of the many engaging activities that the SAGE volunteers help offer each season in the Children’s Garden. FROM THE VOLUNTEERS: “The best thing about the SAGE program is that I learned about the environment. I knew a lot about the environment, but now I know even more.” “T liked working with the children and helping them through the activities. A lot of them seemed really interested and I was glad that I got to share that knowledge with them.” SAGE grew substantially this past year and included students from: Christian Brothers College, Clayton, Eureka, Fox, Hixson Middle School, John Burroughs, Ladue Horton Watkins, Lafayette Senior, Maplewood Richmond Heights, Mascoutah, McKinley, Mehlville, Metro, Oakville, Rockwood South, Rockwood Summit, Rosati-Kain, Roxana, SIU East St. Louis Charter School, St. Louis University, Villa Duchesne, and Webster Groves High Schools. - ~s.

L) Overwintering geraniums like bright light, cool temperatures, and soils on the dry side. L) Water houseplants with tepid water; cold may shock them. LI Be sure the root zones of azaleas and rhododendrons are mulched. Oak leaves, shredded oak bark, or pine needles are preferred. week 1 LI Clean and oil garden tools before storing for winter. L) Winterize power equipment before storing. Change the oil and lubricate moving parts. Either drain fuel systems or mix a gas stabilizing additive into the tank. LY Apply mulches to bulbs, perennials, and other small plants once the ground freezes. L) If you feed rabbits corn or alfalfa, they may leave fruit tree bark unharmed. L) Hairspray helps keep seed heads and dried flowers intact on wreaths and atrangements. 14 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin week 2 QO) Holiday poinsettia basics: sun for at least half the day, keep away from drafts, registers, and radiators. Night temperatures in 50s or low 60s; days at 70 degrees. The soil should dry only slightly between thorough waterings. Discard the drainage. Be sure to punch holes in decorative foil wraps to prevent soggy soil conditions. OU Trim hollies and decorate with the prunings. Only female trees bear the berries. If fruits are desired, a male tree must be growing nearby for pollination. LO Christmas trees hold needles longer if you make a clean, fresh cut at the base and keep the trunk standing in water. Winter 2010 all month UL) Brush off heavy snow, but allow ice to melt naturally from plants. Prune damaged limbs promptly to prevent bark from tearing. Avoid salt or ice melters as these may injure plants; instead use sand, bird seed, sawdust, or vermiculite to gain traction on icy paths. L) Keep records of your garden. Inventory the plants and note past performance. L) Check fruit trees for evidence of rodent injury to bark. Use baits or traps where necessary. U) Avoid walking on frozen lawns as this may injure turf grasses. LI Some plants are sensitive to flouride and chlorine in tap water. Water containers should stand overnight to allow these gases to dissipate and warm to room temperature. L) Wash the dust off of houseplant leaves to allow the leaves to gather light more efficiently. L) Fluffy, white mealy bugs on houseplants are easily killed by touching them with a cotton swab of rubbing alcohol. L) Insecticidal soap sprays can be safely applied to most houseplants for the control of many insect pests. L) Scrub heavily encrusted clay pots with a steel wool pad after they have soaked overnight in a solution consisting of 1 gallon of water and one cup each of white vinegar and bleach. weeks 1-2 LI Quarantine new plants to be sure they do not harbor any insect pests. If you didn’t get your bulbs planted before the ground froze, plant them immediately in individual pots and place the pots in flats. Set them outside where it is cold and bury under thick blankets of leaves. Transplant them into the garden when weather permits. week 3 LI Set Amaryllis plants in a bright sunny window to allow the leaves to develop fully. Remove spent flowers. Keep the soil moist, not soggy. Fertilize occasionally with a general purpose houseplant formulation. week 4 LI Try sprouting a test sample of leftover seeds before ordering new seeds for spring. (Roll up 10 seeds in a damp paper towel. Keep moist and warm. Chec for germination in a week. If fewer than half sprout, order fresh seed.) photo by Brian Mueller February all month UO) Don’t work garden soils if they are wet. Squeeze a handful of soil to form a ball. If it is sticky, allow the soil to dry further. L) Start onion seed indoors now. L) Inspect fruit trees for tent caterpillar egg masses. Eggs appear as dark brown or erey collars that encircle small twigs. Destroy by pruning or scratching off with your thumbnail. L) Water evergreens if the soil is dry and unfrozen. ) Take geranium cuttings now. UU) To avoid injury to lawns, keep foot traffic to a minimum when soils are wet or frozen. L) Repot any rootbound houseplants before vigorous erowth occurs. Choose a new container that is only 1—2 inches larger in diameter. week 1 UL) Branches of pussy willow, quince, crabapple, forsythia, pear, and flowering cherry may be forced indoors. Place cut stems in a vase of water and change the water every four days. week 2 L) Start seeds of slow-growing annuals like verbena, salvia petunias, geraniums, coleus, and impatiens indoors. L) Maple sugaring time is here! Freezing nights and mild days make the sap flow. Q) Fertilize houseplants only if they show signs of new growth. week 3 UL) Sow celery and celeriac seeds indoors now. L) Prune fruit trees. Peaches and nectarines should be pruned just before they bloom. When pruning diseased branches, sterilize tools with a germicide spray between cuts. Dry your tools and rub lightly with oil to prevent rusting. L) Sow seeds of larkspur, sweet peas, shirley poppies, and snapdragons outdoors. For best bloom, these plants must sprout and begin growth well before warm weather arrives. UL) Apply appropriate sprays for the control of lawn weeds. week 4 LI Sow seeds of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage indoors for transplanting into the garden this spring. If soil conditions allow, t a chance sowing peas, lettuce, spinach, and radish. OU Fertilize established fruit trees once frost leaves the ground. Use about % lb. of 12-12-12 per tree, per year of age, up to a maximum of 10 Ibs. per tree. Broadcast fertilizers over the root zone staying at least a foot from the tree trunk. L) Dormant sprays can be applied to ornamental trees and shrubs on a mild day while temperatures are above freezing. Q) Start tuberous begonias indoors now. “Nonstop” varieties perform well in this climate. Featured Plant of Merit Eastern White Pine Pinus strobus ‘Sea Urchin’ Over the first ten years, this slow-growing miniature white pine forms a flattened globe of blue-green needles to only 2-3 feet tall, somewhat resembling in appearance the spiny hedgehog shape of a sea urchin.

Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin 17 =. , 73 a rs ; a “e o- Bah ie Coming Soon to a Backyard Near You? A ad 4 » Li Bet you never thought you’d see one of these bad boys in your backyard in Kirkwood! Once an icon of Texas, armadillos are spreading throughout the St. Louis region. Their habits are shy and their numbers still small, but sightings are increasing. Like other potential pests we are starting to see in the St. Louis area, milder winters due to global climate change have resulted in a larger range. “Something’s going on. These animals weren’t here even five years ago,” says Missour1 Department of Conservation natural history biologist Michael Arduser. “While they’re not very abundant here yet, down the road, they may very well be more prevalent.” Armadillos have a habit of leaping straight up in the air when startled, a trait that has resulted in their most frequent appearance as road kill along area roadways. Consequently, biologists have a very good idea of exactly where they are. Arduser reports that road kills are relatively common in St. Louis County—in South County and Kirkwood, for example. He adds that armadillos have even crossed the Missouri River into Lincoln and Warren counties. “Little armored ones” (what their name means in Spanish) tend to be nocturnal and oblivious, intent on hunting 18 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Bee Oo and foraging, but people should not interact with them. Although they aren’t predators, they are compact and powerful animals. In most instances, humans can often hear them long before they appear—trustling, turning leaves. Armadillos are mostly insectivores, so they dig to eat. Grubs are one of their favorite foods. As the temperatures get colder and the insects migrate deeper into the soil, the armadillos dig bigger and deeper holes. “They have really serious claws,” says Arduser. “In an hour’s time, a single armadillo can really tear up a yard.” They can be trapped, but not using a standard bait trap. (No bait seems to work.) Instead, they must be funneled into a trap using drift fences. To learn more about armadillos—and how to manage them if you detect one— check out these two excellent free on-line publications.

Bookmark the non-profit Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy website (www. dsireusa.org) for current details on tax credits, tax deductions, and rebates from federal, state and local utility sources.

Super-efficiency plus solar panels achieve “near-zero energy” status for this suburban St. Louis home. Especially after power outages, people call the Garden’s EarthWays Center Green Resources Hotline seeking to install solar panels, get off the grid, and be able to keep their households powered up, no matter what. It’s a valid ambition, but perhaps an impractical path to transforming the ways we use energy. Did you know: every dollar invested in energy efficiency can take $5 off the eventual cost of installing a renewable energy system? In other words, a kilowatt saved is a kilowatt earned (or in fact, five). Diligent attention to lighting, weatherizing, and other basic efficiency measures are the essential first step to getting “off grid”—and will reduce monthly energy bills right away. Once you’ve maximized efficiency, here are some options to consider. Solar electric (photovoltaic, or PV) systems are the focus of strong public interest, and tax credits can help you cover their costs (see sidebar). Other solar options are also well worth considering: solar thermal panels can provide hot water and supply under-floor heating systems. Health-enhancing daylight, beaming through well-sealed efficient windows or “solar tube” skylights, may be the least appreciated but best way to use solar energy—and daylight is free! Winter 2010 Wind power is a fast-growing renewable energy source. Consumers can purchase Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) through non-profit organizations and utility programs. These voluntary household and business investments, which typically add about 15 percent to monthly electric bills, support the development of wind production infrastructure. Over $87 million federal dollars were designated for Missouri wind projects in 2009. Watch for small-scale wind turbines, designed for use at low roof-level wind speeds, on the consumer market soon. Ground-source, or geothermal, heating and cooling systems provide clean renewable energy that is increasingly cost-competitive with conventional equipment. It’s worth calculating this option into new home or commercial building plans, especially with current federal tax credits. So improve your existing energy systems—and plan any new ones—to eliminate energy waste, make use of locally appropriate energy sources, and integrate renewables into your energy mix in every way you can. 19 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin The majority of the world’s human population eats insects! How’s that for an opening line? “Entomophagy” is the term Q for the practice of eating insects, and there are over a thousand / QO species of insects commonly consumed by humans around the world. While many Americans may be a bit squeamish at the thought of eating an insect, or even finding one in their food, consuming a few is not really that unusual considering their abundance and the necessity of food for survival. | 8 W 8 ‘ There are dozens of different insect foods at market stalls in Or ) ni nt | Thailand. There is a festival celebrated in central Mexican Nal (6 hd § f ™ towns called Jumil Day, where people gather, collect and cook jumiles, a type of stinkbug. The mopane worm, a by Mark Deering, Collections Manager caterpillar of a large Saturniid moth, which is collected by hand and then dried, can make up the majority of the protein in some African tribes’ diets. Insects by weight are relatively high in protein, even more so when dried. Some are fairly high in fat and most possess large amounts of vitamins and minerals. So why aren't we eating them? The hesitation is driven primarily by cultural differences. There are some foods consumed by Americans—such as crawfish, raw oysters, crabs, lobster, shrimp, squid, octopus and other invertebrates—that other cultures find disgusting and reject as food. Cheese, for example, is considered spoiled milk by many Asian cultures. Of course we are eating insects, incidentally. Food products often contain insects or pieces of insects. The Food and Drug Administration provides a guideline as to how many insect parts may be allowed in natural and processed foods. This is primarily an “aesthetic” restriction in most cases, as insect parts do not harm the average consumer (the photo by Mark Deering. Stinkbug photos by Louise Docker and ? exception being people with specific allergies).

The five-acre Whitmire Wildflower Garden has an extensive collection of native small flowering trees and shrubs and grand specimens of oak, hickory, and persimmon. Many visitors come in spring to see wildflowers in bloom or to walk in the cool shade in summer. Yet winter is a ttme when one can truly get the “lay of the land.” Interesting tree branches appear, views open up, and visitors may see the landscape in an entirely new way. As autumn gives way to winter in the garden, the colors of summer turn to rich earth tones. Chocolate-brown seed heads and ebony stems and seed pods (bush clover and false indigo) rustle in the wind against a backdrop of tawny grasses. Colonies of ferns are marked by ruddy and dark brown fertile fronds that persist through the cold months. What seems to be a quiet scene can, in fact, offer more opportunity to see wildlife. Mixed flocks of sparrows and juncos enjoy foraging on any remaining grass seed — sparrows on standing seed heads while juncos eat the seed that falls to the ground below. Bright spots of red berries on dogwood, prairie rose, and deciduous holly vie for the attention of overwintering bluebirds, sparrows, and finches. Watch for mockingbirds as they defiantly defend their claim on holly berries. A winter hike when there 1s snow on the ground reveals all sorts of activity that usually goes unnoticed. Here and there are trails of footprints, from tiny mice to fox and rabbit tracks. Occasionally seen are the wing imprints in the snow made by hawks and owls as they swoop down to capture small rodents. Take time while hiking in the crisp clear winter air to stop and listen. The woods and fields are filled with sounds—the tapping of woodpeckers, a gentle symphony of waxwings calling, and even the subtle rustling of the wind in dried foliage. A winter ice storm coats switchgrass and Illinois bundleflower in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden.

LOUIS, MO Phaius tankervilleae from the Missouri Botanical Garden collection photo by Kristi Foster President’s Comment Spring arrives many times at the Garden. Spring creeps into the Climatron® in January, when the powderpuff and glorybower bloom. In February, spring takes over the Temperate House, a Mediterranean primavera complete with fragrant daphnes and sweet box. But outside, in our climate zone 6a, St. Louis welcomes spring in March. When the snowdrops shed white tears over Shaw’s grave, the show 1s about to begin. This year, visitors can appreciate over 100 varieties of tulips, 72 types of daffodils, dozens of peonies (see page 18), among other spring beauties like crocus, hyacinth, and a reprise of last year’s popular entrance display: over 1,000 alliums, their tall stalks topped by 6-inch globes of purple flowers. We welcome Arnold Donald as the new Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and new Vice-Chairs Steve Maritz and Cheryl Morley. Armold, Steve, and Cheryl succeed outgoing Chair Nick Reding and Vice-Chair Carolyn Losos. Thank you, Nick and Carolyn, for your service. We welcome new trustee Dan Burkhardt as well. With the turning of the season, we mourn the passing of three pillars of St. Louis philanthropy: Lu Morse, Des Lee, and our longest serving trustee, Warren Shapleigh. All three served on the Garden’s Board, and their dedication will be greatly missed. In May, we present DinoQuest at the Garden and the companion exhibit, Jurassic Bugs, at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House. These exhibitions provide a perfect introduction to the history of life on Earth, extinction, and survival. At the Garden, there is also the excitement of experiencing these lifelike creatures in such an awe-inspiring natural setting, the Climatron (see page 9). Angiosperms are flowering plants, the most diverse plant group on the planet, with an estimated 350,000 species living in all but the most extreme environments. Garden scientists are at the forefront of discovering, identifying, and classifying the world’s plant life (see page 14), and our work is the foundation for conservation. How we humans manage our resources will have a major effect on the future of life, and there are many lessons to be learned from the past. See you on the grounds! GoieW Gere Dr. Peter H.
