MISSOURI ~~" bulletin Winter 2011-2012 Vol. 100, Ne www.mobot.org ‘ photo by Koraley Northen President’s Comment This fall, the Garden hosted its 58th Annual Systematics Symposium: Trees, in honor of the United Nations’ designation of 2011 as the International Year of Forests. Systematics is the study of the diversity of life, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time. Together with taxonomy, the closely related field of naming and classifying organisms, systematics provides the groundwork for understanding all of biodiversity, which 1s central to the Garden’s research. Understanding this biodiversity 1s only one part of the work in which the Garden engages to discover and safeguard the world’s flora. This fall, we celebrated two individuals who have made great strides in the effort to promote biodiversity conservation. Beth Rothschild received the 2011 Greensfelder Medal for her work 1n horticulture and in support of organizations furthering elobal conservation and environmental protection (see page 4). Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Ali of Jordan received the Henry Shaw Medal, the Garden’s highest honor, for her work as founder of the Royal Botanic Garden, Jordan’s first national botanical garden (see page 10). In October, I traveled to Haiti to participate in a workshop on creating that island’s national botanical garden. Haiti was home to as many as 5,000 plant species but is now 98% deforested. Establishing a garden there to play a central role in safeguarding plants, people’s lives, and livelihoods must become a top priority for that nation. Garden researchers work in island habitats worldwide (such as Madagascar) where plant biodiversity often represents unique species found nowhere else in the world and vital natural resources for the future. A botanical garden can function as an intensive care unit for conserving plants ex situ as well as protecting them in the wild. No single institution can tackle all of this critical research and conservation work on its own, of course. For that reason the Garden follows the partnership approach, working with others on this vital work at home and abroad. Nor can the Garden continue its essential roles in research, conservation, horticulture, and education without the contributions of its loyal members. On behalf of the Garden, I thank you for your steadfast support.

Botanical Grove Development Blooming The next phaseim the Bot mica Heights redevelopment adjacent to the Garden is taking shape in the form of a new green home community, Botanical Grove. Built by Botanical Heights Homes, the new development includes a mix of 14 new and 17 renovated homes. All housing units will be LEED registered and will include geothermal heating and cooling systems as a standard feature. Rain gardens and other green features will also be included. The Botanical Heights redevelopment is overseen by the nonprofit Garden District Commission, a community- based organization that began with support of the Garden and funding from the Danforth Foundation. | ES. photo by Emily Amberger Donations to help preserve the Garden’s historic perimeter wall can be dropped in the kiosk at the Ridgway Visitor Center. Help Rebuild the Wall! Part of the Garden’s charm 1s its rich history and its ability to transport visitors from the noise of city life , to quiet serenity. Central to both of those is the almost nine-foot tall, two-foot wide wall that runs along the Garden perimeter. The limestone wall, portions of which are 155 years old, was erected during the lifetime of Garden founder Henry Shaw. Its wrought iron fencing remains one of the last examples of such work in a city once noted for its iron design. The wall is in disrepair and at risk of collapsing in some sections. Its age and damage from weather, tree erowth, sidewalk repair, and traffic vibrations, have taken their toll: = From the President’s Kitchen January was always marmalade-making month in the Wyse Jackson household. Bitter Seville oranges only arrived in the shops for a couple of weeks each year and my mother, and my grandmother before her, would prepare the family for the annual ritual of making the year’s supply of orange marmalade.

Garden Curator Si He and Jia Yu of the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beying, were coordinators of the project, a collaborative effort between the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Very little was known about Chinese bryophytes until the 1950s, when scientists began to train and study abroad, resulting in revisions of numerous families and genera.

Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin WL shaw Institute Trains Future Field Biologists by Lydia Toth, Senior Manager, Education, Shaw Nature Reserve or some teens, summer is a time to take a break from the pressures of school, but for 46 area high school students, the Shaw Institute for Field Training (SIFT) this past summer provided a window into the world of environmental biology. This National Science Poundation-funded collaboration between Washington University’s Tyson Research Center and the Shaw Nature Reserve engages students in scientifically based exploration of the natural world and provides field training for the next generation of environmental scientists. During a one-week training session in June, teens are introduced to a variety of Missouri ecosystems and gain skills necessary to conduct field research, including plant and animal identification, biotic sampling techniques, testing of abiotic factors, and training in the use of geographical positioning systems. During the rest of the summer and throughout the fall, students are paid to work with career scientists on important research and restoration activities at field research sites throughout the St. Louis area. This past summer, SIFT students could be found identifying insects for a glade study, setting up 112 artificial ponds for an aquatic plant community project, conducting a fish survey in one of the lakes at the Reserve, and testing water quality on the Meramec Raver. Seed collecting and tagging monarch butterflies as they migrated through to their wintering grounds in Mexico kept the students busy throughout the fall. Students also gather for several Saturday trainings and a winter overnight to share their experiences and continue their learning. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin According to a recent SIFT participant, “The experience has helped me appreciate nature not only for its beauty but for its environmental sienificance and profound impact on human development. It’s really piqued my interest in pursuing an environmental biology career.’ Students who successfully complete the SIFT program are invited to apply for the Tyson Environmental Research Fellowship, a four- week immersion internship at Tyson the following summer, where they serve as part of a research team under the supervision of a faculty investigator. “When we first developed the collaboration, one of our central questions was whether high school students and ecological researchers add value to each others’ learning and work,’ said Project Director Susan Flowers. “The answer 1s most definitely yes! The researchers are grateful to have the extra help, and working with the students has enhanced their mentoring skills. The students are excited to be participating in original research and have been given front row seats for an important science career path.” The program will be accepting applications for the 2012-2013 team of students beginning January 1, 2012.

Y Y, * 4 at i photo by Josh Monken Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson presents the Henry Shaw Medal to Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Ali, founder of the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan. 10 Royal Botanic Garden Founder Awarded Henry Shaw Medal Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Ali of Jordan didn’t set out to establish her country’s first botanical garden. “T’ve always loved gardens, and I waited for someone to do it at home and wondered if I hageto.domisnnsem, sicrcad. “Around 1995, that’s when I decided I would do it.” When she left the military in 2000, she began a process that has taken more than a decade and, if all goes well, will see fruition at the end of 2012 when the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan (RBGJ) opens to the public. For her efforts, Princess Basma bint Ali has been awarded the Henry Shaw Medal by the Missouri Botanical Garden. The medal was presented October 10 at the annual Henry Shaw Dinner (see photos, page 16). Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson played an instrumental role as secretary general of Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Winter 2011-2012 Botanic Gardens Conservation International when, at Princess Basma bint Al1’s request, he helped select the location for the garden in Tell Ar-Rumman, about 20 minutes north of the capital city, Amman. “He really supported us,’ she said, “and without him we wouldn’t be here today.” Not only does she hope that the RBGJ will play a key role in safeguarding the resource- poor nation’s plant biodiversity, but that it will also educate Jordanians about the country’s biodiversity and help them reconnect with nature. “1 think there is a disconnect,’ she said. “Our grandparents’ and older generations’ lives depended heavily on the environment. With modernization and industrialization, you have that disconnect. What we're trying to do 1s to bridge that gap and reconnect with nature.’ Jordan is the third-most water scarce country in the world, up from eleventh place about 15 years ago. A small country with limited natural resources, Jordan has a flora of approximately 2,500 species representing about 152 families. Of those species, 100 are known only to Jordan. Princess Basma bint Ali said her lifelong love of nature was fostered early on by her parents, particularly her father. “He’d help me collect seeds and help me plant them and taught me how to germinate them, and that really did have iol wboajoRket. / In addition to her work as founder of the Royal Botanic Garden, Princess Basma bint Ali is also a founder and chairperson of the Royal Marine Conservation Society of Jordan, chair of the National Biodiversity Committee, and former chair of the National Environment Wildlife Society and the Red Crescent Society of Jordan. She was named a Hero for the Planet in 1998 by Time magazine. MIROIRIGSs he paper kite (Idea leuconoe) conjures visions of gently floating snowflakes. Native to Southeast Asia, these large, showy butterflies are known for their unhurried flight and white wings with distinctive black markings. Paper kites are also flower lovers, feeding off sugar-rich nectar. Normally, the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House is home to about 200 paper kites, but all December long visitors will enjoy more than 1,000 of the whimsical creatures in a tropical winter wonderland. The lush, 85-degree indoor conservatory will be resplendent with the addition of dozens of white orchids, contrasting with the reds and greens of the tropical foliage, trees, and other flowers surrounding the scene. Bring your camera to capture your family’s perfect holiday photo! (Please no tripods, monopods, or external flash equipment.) Visitors will also get to see a rare display of paper kite chrysalides The chrysalis of this butterfly is very striking, with bright yellow or gold backgrounds and black spots or markings; people often wonder if they are real. They are typically hung in the behind-the-scenes butterfly laboratory, but during December visitors will be able to see a collection of these ornamental wonders.

ABOUT THE PAPER KITE The black and white markings, coupled with the slow flight, tell potential predators this butterfly 1s quite unpalatable. This sort of obvious advertisement of distaste is called aposematism. Paper kites are members of the subfamily Danainae, many of whom are chemically protected by the plants the caterpillars feed on. (Monarch butterflies are also in this subfamily.) The Butterfly House receives its paper kites from two sources: London Pupae Supplies of Los Angeles and Tropical Entomological House in Malaysia.

In the distance, steam is rising from the evaporator pan as the sap is boiling down. Images of New England come to mind, but this sap is being collected by school children at the Shaw Nature Reserve. In preparation for these programs offered throughout the month of February, Reserve staff sterilize the required equipment and select sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum) to use. Holes are drilled into ne oe Hava thee the trees at a sight upward angle about two inches deep, and metal spouts, called spiles, which are spouts, called spiles, are inserted into the holes. Buckets are then hung used to collect the sap. from hooks on the spiles, and the sap is collected each day to prevent fermentation. On a good day, it’s not unusual to find the three-gallon buckets filled to the top. Through hands-on activities, students learn about the science of maple sugar, get a demonstration on how to collect the sap, and then are off in teams to check the buckets. They are often surprised when they first peer into the bucket and see the clear watery sap, not the gooey brown syrup that they expected. They’ve yet to discover that the principle of making maple syrup is concentration through evaporation. The sap is poured into the evaporator, which sits over a roaring fire. Only after most of the water has evaporated from the sap and the temperature reaches 219° F do we have finished maple syrup—a saturated sugar solution that 1s about 67 percent sugar. Once you’ve made a batch of maple syrup, it’s easy to understand why it is so expensive. It takes physical effort, as well as 40 gallons of sap and a cord of firewood, to make a gallon of pure maple syrup. A more fitting name for the syrup might be “liquid gold.’ But, oh, how sweet it is! This program for the 2010-2011 school year was funded in part by the Mysun Charitable Foundation. 1 2?

Change will be especially noticeable this April, as construction begins on the sets for our highly anticipated Lantern Festival: Art by Day, Magic by Night. These larger-than- life installations will bring even bolder color to a landscape already teeming with spring blooms. The beauty of this display also provides an opportunity to highlight the Garden’s important research in China. This year marks the 25th anniversary of work on the Flora of China. When complete, the landmark publication will document all the known plants in the country, which is home to one-eighth of the world’s plant biodiversity. Identifying and understanding this biodiversity 1s a critical step in safeguarding and conserving it for future generations. A key element of the Garden’s mission, and one that goes hand in hand with conservation, 1s sustainability. The Lantern Festival will showcase this creatively, as one of the installations will be constructed out of thousands of discarded plastic water bottles. At the end of the festival, these bottles will be recycled. The Garden’s commitment to responsible use of natural resources extends to the design and construction of our facilities as well. Recent projects have garnered awards for green building and energy- efficiency standards, including LEED certification for the renovated Spink Pavilion (see page 7) and an EnergyStar rating for the Commerce Bank Center for Science Education (see page 6). You'll be taking part in our efforts to minimize our impact on the environment the next time you dine at our café. New equipment has been installed that will save energy, water, and money while producing more healthful and lower-fat dishes (see page 6).

Steve Maritz is the fourth generation of his family to lead Maritz Holdings, now in its 112th year. Maritz began his career with the company in 1983 and became president and chief operating officer in 1997. One year later, he succeeded his father, William Maritz, as chief executive officer and was appointed chairman of the board after his father’s death in 2001. Maritz serves on the boards of the John M. Olin School of Business, the Variety Club, Laclede Group, and the Greater St. Louis Council of the Boy Scouts of America, among other community leadership roles. Maritz holds a bachelor’s degree in organizational psychology from Princeton University. Maritz succeeds Arnold Donald, who served as chairman of the Missouri Botanical Garden Board of Trustees from 2009 to 2011. Donald was given the esteemed Henry Shaw Medal at the December 5 meeting for his dedicated service. Rakesh Sachdev is president and chief executive officer of Sigma-Aldrich, a St. Louis-based, $2 billion global life science and high technology company.

A native of India, Sachdev earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology. He earned a master’s degree in engineering from the University of Illinois and completed his MBA at Indiana University. Sachdev also serves on the board of directors of Regal Beloit Corporation, Beloit, Wis. Memorandum of Understanding Signed with Chinese Gardens The Missouri Botanical Garden has signed a memorandum of understanding with three Chinese botanical institutions to promote conservation, education, and awareness of plant diversity. The agreement between the Garden and the Nanjing Botanical Garden, Lushan Botanical Garden, and Guangxi Institute of Botany calls Spring 2012 for the exchange of herbarium specimens, plant materials, publications, data, scientific materials, and personnel. “Each of our institutions are keenly aware of the current threats to our respective floras,’ said Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. “Through these agreements we seek to work jointly in documenting the plants found in our areas of interest, study the effects of climate variation on the ecosystems, and promote our respective scientific efforts through collaborations.” New Conservation Club for Members Missouri Botanical Garden members are invited to learn more about the Garden’s work in science and sustainability through a new membership feature called the Conservation Club. Through the club, members will be invited to participate in lectures and hands-on events that highlight the Garden’s efforts in protecting plants around the world, preserving ecosystems here and abroad, and improving our built environment to conserve resources. Club members also will receive a special newsletter from Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. Conservation Club benefits are complimentary for members at the President’s Circle level and above.

Coming to St. Louis, I was amazed to find that they were common and well known here too. For me the dandelion is a welcome harbinger of warm spring days after a long winter, and a thoroughly useful plant too! The dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is one of those cosmopolitan weeds that everyone knows, but few appreciate. If it were difficult to grow, ironically, we would all want it in our gardens! We have also largely forgotten that this stubborn little weed 1s actually a useful and versatile edible plant, rich in vitamin A. Traditional uses can be found for almost all parts of the plant. The young leaves can be used in salads, and more mature ones can be boiled and served as a vegetable.

The flowers themselves can be batter dipped and fried. The roots can be roasted and eaten or ground to make a very acceptable coffee substitute. There are also recipes for dandelion flower wine and dandelion beer. The dandelion flower is also the main ingredient for a wonderful syrup that goes well with pancakes, ice cream, and other sweet desserts and puddings.

Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin 5 Ne@WS continued In Memoriam: Lucianna Gladney Ross 1915-2012 Lucianna Gladney Ross, philanthropist, historical preservationist, and loyal friend of the Missour1 Botanical Garden, died January 24, 2012. She was 96. Mrs. Ross began as a Garden member in 1965 and became a transformative force in the decades that followed. She served in the early 1970s as a leader in the Garden’s volunteer guide program. In 1978, she became the first woman elected to the Garden’s Board of Trustees. Mrs. Ross also made several gifts to the Garden, often anonymously. Through the ‘70s, ‘80s, and beyond, she was instrumental in projects such as the construction of Ridgway Visitor Center, the Kiefer Magnolia Walk, renovation of the Climatron®, the Gladney Rose Garden, and the lovely Chihuly arches that grace the rose garden. The Garden gave Mrs. Ross its highest honor in 2002—the Henry Shaw Medal. “Lucianna was a delightful person with a twinkle in her eye and a purpose in her soul,” said Dr. Peter H. Raven, president emeritus. He described her as “senerous, enterprising, modest, and forward-looking.” Mrs. Ross was the daughter of Frank Gladney, an attorney and partner in the company that introduced the soft drink 7-Up. Her generosity extended beyond the Garden, including a commitment to restoring and preserving historic Kimmswick. 6 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Sassafras Gets Even Greener—and Healthier Sassafras, the Garden’s café and the first Certified Green Restaurant in Missouri, got even greener with an upgrade of the restaurant’s kitchen equipment in January. Griddles and fryers have been replaced with steam and convection cooking equipment. The change is expected to result in decreased energy consumption and water usage, improved safety and efficiency, and no use of cooking fat. In addition, the kitchen’s garbage disposal has been removed, and all food scraps will be composted instead. The change also means notably healthier menu options. Fried food items have been eliminated and replaced with pasta dishes and flatbread pizzas, expanding the range of offerings for café guests. Operated by Catering St. Louis, Sassafras serves nearly 500,000 guests annually. Naming, Describing New Plant Species Gets Easier Beginning this year, scientists who describe and name new species no longer need to publish in print to make those findings official. Following a ruling at the XVIII Worldwide International Botanical Congress, material published online will be formally accepted as effective publication. This streamlined process will allow for more rapid inventorying of the world’s biodiversity—more important now than ever, as species can go extinct faster than they are being described. Nicholas Turland, associate curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden and member of the Bureau of Spring 2012 Nomenclature of the Congress, helped to outline the publication changes for the scientific community. “Online journals will generally have a peer-review system, just as traditional paper journals have had for many years,” he said. “It is hard to gauge the community reaction to the new rules, but judging by the large majority of scientists voting in favor, I think it is positive.” A further development: plant descriptions can now be written 1n English. Previously, these had to be written in Latin. Now, either English or Latin will be acceptable. Scientific names of plants will continue to be in Latin. sma AN Fie SOL mi Botanic photo by Jonathan Knobelock The Commerce Bank Center for Science Education scored §5 on the EPA’s Energy Star scale. Education Building Earns Energy Star Rating The Garden’s Commerce Bank Center for Science Education (CBEC) has received Energy Star certification from the US. Environmental Protection Agency. To qualify for the Energy Star rating, a building or manufacturing plant must earn a 75 or higher on the EPA’s energy performance scale, indicating that the facility performs better than at least 75 percent of similar buildings nationwide. “CBEC scored 85 on a scale from 1 to 100 thanks to the energy- efficient HVAC and lighting systems, a well-insulated building, and the contribution of renewable energy from the solar array mounted on the roof,’ said Deborah Frank, the Garden’s Vice President of Sustainability. The 25-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system was installed last year thanks to Express Scripts and an Ameren Missouri renewable energy rebate. Spink Pavilion Gets LEED Certification The Missouri Botanical Garden’s renovation of the Spink Pavilion has earned LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the nation’s premier program for the design, construction, and operation of high- performance green buildings. The latest renovation, completed in the summer of 2010, included replacing the HVAC system, installing more thermally efficient windows and doors, audiovisual upgrades, kitchen equipment replacement, and a new awning over the main patio. More than 92 percent of the construction waste from renovation was recycled, repurposed, or otherwise diverted from winding up in a landfill. Other updates included a water bottle filling station, energy-efficient hand dryers, and water-saving plumbing.

How do our photographers do it? Here, some of our professional shooters and former photo interns share some of their favorite shots along with some tips and ¢ techniques you can use the next .‘ time you visit the Garden. (www.scottavetta.com) With all the beauty surrounding you at the Garden, it 1s easy to overlook wonderful subjects, especially the smaller things. When photographing botanicals, we need to slow down and look closely. Identify the subject and ask yourself, “What drew me to the scene? Is this a good specimen, and are there any distractions?” Consider the color of the bloom, the condition of the plant, the lighting, and the background. An overcast sky or soft light is helpful. Emphasize the positive. Try getting closer. Consider whether the subject is best as a vertical or horizontal. Take several versions and compare them later. Most importantly, have fun. S Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin — Spring 2012 (www.petalsnap.com) When you create your image, keep it simple. Focus on what drew you toward the subject. Include landmark parts of the Garden to create a story. Sunlight is a wonderful lighting source during the morning and evening hours. It adds a great deal of contrast and drama to a garden image. If you can crouch down, stand taller, peek around a leaf, do it! Don’t just stand straight and click your shutter. Flowers and trees aren’t straight. | A common misconception 1s that bad weather equates bad images. Au contraire! I captured this image in the Japanese Garden early one morning this past September, shortly before 7 a.m. A tripod 1s essential to achieve desirable sharpness and depth of field. A wide-angle lens is also appropriate when photographing landscapes. It was an extremely foggy morning, and the preceding days had been wet and gloomy as well, yet the storm was starting to clear. Small puddles had formed on top of the bridge, allowing light to reflect off the surface in an interesting fashion. Changing the shutter speed when photographing water can dramatically change the outcome. In this picture I wanted to capture the water in action and “‘freeze”’ it, so I used a fast shutter speed. I recommend at least 1/250 s or faster; this was shot at 1/400 s. On the other hand, slow your shutter Sealy id Meee od » Ee aa speed to blur water and give it a smooth effect. This is often seen 1n photographs of waterfalls, rivers, and oceans; the shutter stays open longer as the water moves, allowing it to blur. This effect can be used very nicely on the waterfall in the Climatron®. scott Avetta is not just a spectacular photographer—he's a teacher! This spring and summer, he'll be leading a number of (www.kspradleyphoto.com) classes and workshops at the I opted to shoot this particular morning at first light.

Master Gardeners are available to help answer your gardening questions. Give them a call at (814) 577-5148, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. You can also email your question to plantinformation@ mobot.org. Bi boomers are reaching retirement age, and the numbers of households looking to downsize is projected to rise dramatically as the number of Americans over 65 nearly doubles by 2030. Moving to a smaller home, though, doesn’t mean you have to leave your vegetable garden behind. Whether you’ve got a smaller yard, a patio, or even just a window box, with the right planning and careful selection, you can look forward to a plentiful harvest. Make strategic choices. What will you get the most use out of? Like Italian food? With tomatoes, basil, and oregano, you'll have the ingredients for fresh marinara. If salads are your thing, choose lettuces, spinach, and cucumber on a trellis. Make your plants multitask. Choose plants that are ornamental and edible: many peppers, cabbages, and kales are beautiful as well as delicious. (See list at right.) Make the most of every square inch. If you can’t spread out, go up. Train a trailing or vining plant to grow up a trellis. If you have ground space, you can train a fruit-bearing tree to grow in an espalier or a flat plane, such as against a wall or along a trellis. On a patio or terrace, use a container with good drainage that’s the right size for what you're growing. A lightweight potting mix will help keep your container properly drained. You'll need to water more frequently, as containers will dry out faster. Hanging baskets may need to be watered daily or more in summer. Because frequent watering leaches nutrients from the soil, proper fertilizing 1s key. Consider the environment. Light and airflow will affect your plant choices. If there is not adequate daylight in your location, consider varieties of lettuce and spinach that can tolerate shadier spots. Airflow 1s especially important for fruiting plants such as tomatoes. Without good airflow, humidity can lead to rot or disease. Downsizing? Don't forget the Little Shoo Around the Corner (see page 15.) 1 0 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin — Spring 2012 Ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea) What to plant? ° Herbs—just about any—parsley, basil, dill—will thrive 1n a container. ° Garlic and green onions—varieties such as Evergreen Bunching and Beltsville Bunching. ° Tomatoes—try tumbling varieties such as Tumbler, Tumbling Tom, Cherry Falls, Cherry Cascade, and Sunset Falls. ¢ Kale—Redbor, Winterbor, Russian Risa), Conall Omesin, Corll Pines. Kamome Pink, Maribor. ° Peppers—ornamental varieties range in colors from deep red and purple to lime green, yellow, and white. ° Sweet Potatoes—choose a variety such as Beauregard or white yam if you're after an edible plant. ¢ Cucumbers—Bush Champion, Bush Crop, Bush Whopper, Fanfare, Pot Luck, Salad Bush, and Spacemaster are all bushy small varieties. Most others will need to be trellised. ¢ Strawberries—Everbearing, Pink Panda, and Berri Basket are good for containers. photo by Emily Amberger (;" ready for thousands of blue morphos to appear at the Butterfly House when March Morpho Mania returns! Ordinarily, you can’t catch a glimpse of the blue morpho (Morpho peleides) in the U.S., as it is native to Central and South America. The brilliant blue on the inside of the morphos’ scaled wings isn’t actually a colored pigment at all. It is the effect of refracted light, making the color appear to change depending on the angle. At roost, the mottled brown underside of the butterflies’ closed wings helps them blend in with their surroundings—predators mistake their spots for animal eyes. When open, the wingspan can reach up to eight inches. What may appear to be random flight patterns is actually purposeful activity. Males do this to establish a territory and attract females. If another male invades the space, he is soon chased away. At night, the butterflies roost on the underside of large leaves and branches. When hungry, blue morphos feast on such delicacies as rotting fruit and tree sap. At the Butterfly House, their diet consists mainly of bananas and other fruits. The common blue morphos on display during March Morpho Mania all hail from the El Bosque Nuevo farm in Costa Rica. This farm represents an alternative to more damaging forms of agriculture and allows for the restoration of native habitat. Two new themed birthday parties for kids 3-8 are available at The Butterfly House on Saturdays and Sundays: BUG SAFARI—Add your own special touches to a safari helmet, grab a work vest outfitted with insect discovery gadgets, and learn about bugs. FAIRY FLUTTERBYE— Transform into a fairy flutterbye wearing butterfly wings, a colorful tutu, sparkling tiara, and wand. The fun includes games, crafts, a special decorate-it- yourself butterfly cookie, and a juice box. Fee: $15 per child. Contact Special Events at (636) 733-2339 for reservations. Sophia M. ©. Blue morpho (Morpho peleides) % ‘11 ‘ photo by Kate Lawless Across the Shaw Nature Reserve MERAMEC A Test Site for Conservation Principles haw Nature Reserve visitors will find a pastoral scene awaiting them at the Meramec River overlook: fields of corn and soybeans, and pasture dotted with grazing cattle. This farmland and adjacent woodland are part of the Reserve and play a key role in teaching the importance and management of healthy, diverse native plant and animal communities. As part of its partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Reserve has evaluated this 800-acre property, known as the South 800, for potential conservation uses and has identified several goals: ¢ Using the property to demonstrate best farm management practices that focus on conservation and the enhancement of wildlife habitat on agriculture and rural properties. ¢ Field day events to show the conservation practices property owners can use to enhance their own property. ¢ Youth and first-time hunter training that highlights the value of hunting as an ecological management tool. To support the work, the Reserve sought funding from the Environmental Quality Improvement Program (EQIP), a federal 1 2 Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin The “South 800” has been used for farming and pasture for cattle, and includes woodlands and .5 miles of riparian corridor, the riverfront habitat along the Meramec River. Farm Bull cost-share and incentive program to encourage rural landowners to implement sound farming and conservation practices. Additionally, funding from the Gateway Chapter of Quail Forever facilitated plantings to improve grassland bird habitat. Last year, a 30-foot-wide, 10,000-foot- long conservation buffer strip was planted along the edge of the crop fields, providing seven acres of habitat. Last summer a new grazing system was implemented where cattle are rotated among eight grazing paddocks, resulting in the maximum use of available forage and ample time for the grass to recover. Additional conservation practices will be implemented over the next three years, including conversion of 50 acres of non- native pasture into tallgrass prairie. In Missouri, 93 percent of the land is privately owned. The Missouri Department of Conservation created the Private Lands Division in 1999 to work with rural landowners to improve wildlife habitat on their properties. The Reserve is pleased to support the department’s efforts to promote sound conservation practices on rural properties throughout the state. Spring 2012 ” 4 y .

China is home to approximately 12 percent of the world’s flora. More than half of those are found nowhere else in the world. In 2012, we are celebrating a “Year of China” to highlight the Garden’s remarkable achievements in researching the plants of this region. Given the daunting level of the Flora of China project, you might well ask what comes next? In May, we announced a major new project to prepare a first-ever comprehensive catalogue of the world’s plants between now and 2020. The project will be undertaken in collaboration with partners worldwide, led by the Missouri Botanical Garden, the New York Botanical Garden, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This ambitious and challenging project will involve compiling and developing key information on up to 400,000 plant species as a ‘World Flora Online’, freely available on the internet. Much of the work will build on and make use of many of the Garden’s plant science projects, including the Flora of China, the Flora of North America, and work in many other regions, and utilize our world-class botanical database, Tropicos™. This is one of the primary targets of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, an action plan first adopted in 2002 by the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity to halt the rapid loss of biodiversity worldwide. Having an authoritative, accessible, and comprehensive baseline of information on all of the plants will be an essential tool in helping to conserve them. ae Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, President On” Z As a Garden member, did you know that: You get free admission for two adults and all children 12 and under to the Shaw Nature Reserve and Sophia M.

This massive undertaking will include information on up to 400,000 plant species. It will also achieve a primary target of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, an ambitious effort first adopted by the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity in 2002, to halt the continuing loss of plant biodiversity around the globe. “There are few institutions in the world that have the capacity to foster this project, and no one of us could do this alone,” said Garden Succulents displayed in a formal bed at the Garden, date unknown. The Pin Cushion Garden in the Lichtenstein Victorian District is being renovated to feature similar displays. (photo courtesy of Missour!

President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. “We all want to see this come to fruition, and the entire international ity will benefit from it.” Of the estimated 400,000 species of vascular plants on Earth, some 10 percent have yet to be discovered. At least 100,000 of those species face extinction due to climate change, environmental factors, and human interaction. Swift Transformation and a Sharper Pin Cushion The Swift Family Garden by the Linnean House is being renovated to enhance the eastward vista and transform it into a more classical English landscape feature. A formal hedge of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is being planted along the south side of the vista. The grass surrounding the pool on the eastern end will become planting space for annuals. The arbor on the east end has been removed, and the pool that was under it will be used for tropical water lilies. The enhanced symmetry draws the eye to the eastern end of the vista, where a large planted container will be added in 2013. The perennial border running parallel to the central beds and pools is also being modified to Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin showcase wild-sourced, herbaceous Eurasian species from areas such as Romania, central Asia, and the Caucasus. This change is part of ongoing efforts to create horticultural displays that highlight the Garden’s research and conservation efforts, while bringing visitors in closer contact with greater plant diversity. In the Victorian District, the Pin Cushion Garden, made possible through a generous donation by the David B. Lichtenstein Foundation, is being converted into a more traditional Victorian display. These 20 circular display beds will become home to some 33,000 succulent plants arranged in geometric designs. Drainage and irrigation improvements were completed in late winter and early spring for the new displays. In Memoriam: 22% Kenneth Peck ome, 1931-2012 People who took part in HB the Garden’s education programs in the 60s and °70s have many fond memories of Kenneth Peck. Mr. Peck worked at the Garden from 1957 to 1981 and is credited with starting the Summer 2012 Garden’s education programs, which he managed almost singlehandedly for 10 years. As head instructor, he taught classes both for youngsters and adults at the Garden and Shaw Nature Reserve (then known as Shaw Arboretum). Mr. Peck later worked at A.H. Hummert Seed Co. as technical director and lectured at the University of Missouri and Webster University. He and his wife, Abby, also ran the Wenom-Drake bed and breakfast in Kimmswick, were he was an alderman. Kenneth Peck died Feb. 2, 2012, at the age of 80. Power of Plants Winners Named The Missouri Botanical Garden has announced the winners of the 2011-2012 “Power of Plants” student contest. The fourth annual contest challenged groups of two to five students in kindergarten through 12th grades to select one plant that does great things for people and tell its story. The winners were: Early elementary (kindergarten— second grade): Caroline Keefe, Autumn Ramey, Reece Ward, Jacob Whitworth, and Holly Repp, Immaculate Conception School, Columbia, Ill.; Jahtega Djukpen and Jahminneh Djukpen, Goshen Elementary, Glen Carbon, Ill. (digital category) Upper elementary (third-fifth grades): Jan Kasal, Anna Larson, and Irmak Karasinir, Forsyth School, Clayton; Isabella Frasure, Delaney Lundberg, and Noble Faris, Summer 2012 Immaculate Conception School, Columbia, Ill., (digital category) Middle school (sixth—eighth grades): Andrew Simily, Caleb Ley, Jamie Hayden, and Ryan Eckelkamp, St. John the Baptist— Gildehaus, Villa Ridge; Daniel Berkovich and Miles Sanders, Parkway Central Middle School, Chesterfield (digital category) High school (ninth-12th grades): Abby Froid! and Annie Muehlfarth, Notre Dame High School, south St. Louis County; Ashley Taylor, Ali Wagner, and Ciara Lenzner, St. Joseph’s Academy, Frontenac (digital category) Each student in the winning groups received $200, and their host school was awarded $500. Garden Lands NEH Grant A National Endowment for the Humanities grant will help fund “The Art of Life,” an initiative to identify and describe natural history illustrations from the digitized books and journals in the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) at www.biodiversitylibrary.org. BHL technical staff at the Garden will use the $260,000 grant to develop software tools for automated identification and description of visual resources contained in more than 100,000 volumes and 38 million pages of core historic literature. “This is an important step forward for our projects in that, for the first time, they are being recognized and described as humanities materials documenting the history of science,” said Chris Freeland, director of the Garden’s Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Center for Biodiversity Informatics and BHL technical director. By making these visual resources easily searchable, project organizers hope to make them more useful to current scholars and discoverable by new audiences ‘ ™ me South Gardens Supervisor Ben Chu receives a commendation from Consul General Okamura Yoshifumi.

Consul General Okamura Yoshifumi presented the official commendation and award during a Sakura Planting Ceremony April 22 in the Japanese Garden. The ceremony marked the 100th anniversary of the gift of cherry blossom trees from the people of Japan to the people of the United States and the gift of 20 new cherry blossom trees to the Garden. — ; 7 =) Ce Sa SE = ee » =. & ten % + , 4 The Nature Explore Classroom Is just one of the places at the Shaw N ature Reserve Curing the ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’ By Lydia Toth, Senior Manager, Education Feeling a little fatigued or gloomy? Did you put on some unwanted weight over the winter? The cure could be as simple as going outside. People of all ages are spending significantly less time in nature, and it’s taking a physical and emotional toll. The long-term consequences are particularly troubling when we think of our children. Throughout history, children’s outdoor play has been relatively free, spontaneous, and unstructured, set in the “playgrounds” of fields, streams, vacant lots, and parks. Within a few short decades we’ve seen this freedom to play outdoors give way to longer school days, increased time spent using electronic media, and more scheduled after-school activities. We’ve also seen a tremendous increase in obesity, incidents of asthma and allergies, and diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In his book, Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv gives this problem a name— “nature-deficit disorder.” Among the many benefits for children of being outdoors are enhanced observation skills, improved concentration, increased physical activity, improved fine motor skills, fewer behavior problems, and an increased appreciation for the natural environment. Visit the Shaw Nature Reserve and play in the Nature Explore Classroom™ or participate in the many programs offered for families. Pick up one of the self-guided activities in the Visitor Center and explore on your own. There are also things to do right in your own backyard: ¢ Go on an outdoor scavenger hunt in your yard or through your neighborhood. e Make friends with a nearby tree and visit it regularly to see how it changes. e “Kidscape” your yard with bird feeders, piles of dirt for digging, gardens to attract butterflies and other critters, and shrubbery for “secret” places to hide. It’s easy, free, and fun...on your own or with the whole family!

What’s even more remarkable is how successful it was in spite of the extreme heat. The entire region weathered temperatures reaching into the triple digits, but that didn’t stop more than 100,000 visitors from heading to the Garden to experience the spectacular sets lit up for evening display. Nearly 6,000 people joined or renewed their memberships during the festival as well. This type of support helps make it possible to continue our mission to discover and protect the world’s plant biodiversity. Some of that work is being done in places like Bolivia; the Garden’s Madidi Project, led by Dr. Peter Jorgensen, was recently profiled in the journal Science (see page 7). A great deal of work to preserve biodiversity takes place right here at the Garden. One of the most striking examples was the blooming of not one, but two Amorphophallus titanum plants (see page 6) this summer. The species is threatened by habitat loss in its native Sumatra; by growing them here we can raise awareness of this issue. Although Lantern Festival has drawn to a close and the spectacular set pieces have left the grounds, the Garden is continuing to celebrate its year of China. This October, China will be the focus of the 59th annual Systematics Symposium, hosted here at the Garden. Systematics is the study of the diversity of life and the relationships among living things through time, and this year’s conference will highlight the Flora of China project, which is nearing completion after 25 years of work. ae Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, President On” Z As a Garden member, did you know that: You get free admission for two adults and all children 12 and under to the Shaw Nature Reserve and Sophia M.

The World Flora is an international collaborative effort to develop the first-ever comprehensive online resource for the world’s approximately 400,000 known plant species. M to’s support will fund the Garden’s contributions to this endeavor from 2012 to 2015. “The proposed World Flora Online will be an invaluable, accessible treatment of the world’s plant diversity that will act as a baseline to support global efforts to identify, safeguard, sustainably use, and manage plants for humankind,” said Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. “The importance of Monsanto Company’s funding for this international endeavor cannot be overstated.” In 2002, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity adopted a Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). This was subsequently updated in 2010 with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. The online flora is the first of 16 targets identified by the GSPC to be achieved by 2020. In 2012 the Missouri Botanical Garden; New York Botanical Garden; Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh; and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew signed a Memorandum of Understanding detailing their intent to work 4 Representatives met at the Garden July 16-18 to discuss strategy for creating the World Flora online by 2020. (photo by Kaitlyn Mauro) Consortium to Tackle World Flora Project A three-day conference held July 16-18 at the Missouri Botanical Garden hosted 34 individuals from botanical institutions in 17 countries who met to discuss how to achieve the goal of creating an online World Flora by 2020. At the conclusion of the meeting, attendees agreed on terms to establish a consortium encompassing all of the world’s major botanical institutions to work together toward meeting this target of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. “TI was very pleased by the optimism and sense of comradeship shared by the attendees,” said Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. together to support the development of a World Flora Online. They will be joined in this work by a large number of other botanical institutions worldwide. Wells Fargo Supports Green Schools Program Thanks to support from Wells Fargo Advisors, Missouri Botanical Garden educators were able to work with students in the St. Louis Public Schools during the 2011-2012 school year through the Green Schools Program. Over 250 students at Dunbar Elementary School, LOuverture Middle School, and Vashon High School participated through classroom lessons, student- conducted green school audits, and student projects. “Students and staff at all three schools were very excited about the program,” said Kim Petzing, supervisor of education programs for the Garden’s EarthWays Center. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin “As the students conduct their work, they educate their classmates, making students in each of the three schools aware of the research and ways to make their schools and lives more sustainable.” Garden Receives NSF Grant for Undergraduate Research Program Ten undergraduate students from Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico spent ten weeks in St. Louis this summer conducting research projects under the mentorship of Missouri Botanical Garden Ph.D. scientists, thanks to a three-year, $338,878 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (REU) allows students to work on independent mentored projects in plant systematics, conservation biology, and ethnobotany. REU students train in all aspects of Fall 2012 scientific research, from project design to presentation of results. “The REU program fills an open niche at the Missouri Botanical Garden,” said Dr. David Bogler, assistant curator at the Garden and principal investigator (PI) and coordinator of the REU program. “We have educational programs for K-12 students and graduate students, and now an active program for undergraduates.” Power Up with Essence Stop by Essence Healthcare’s “Power Up” booth in Ridgway Visitor Center on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, September 5-26, from 7 to 11 a.m. You'll receive tips for healthy living, information on Garden walking routes, and a healthy snack to “power up” your Garden walk. Volunteer Appreciation Evening On May 21, the Garden saluted its volunteers during our annual Volunteer Appreciation Evening. Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson presented special awards to the following outstanding individuals and groups: e Sue Rogers, Commitment Award ¢ Donna Olson, Dedication Award e Michael Schade, Extra Service Hours Award e Ron Stevens, Green Award ¢ Dave Tognoni, Rookie Volunteer of the Year Award ¢ Gary Hartman, Special Achievement Award e St. Louis Herb Society, Group Excellence Award e Ann Case, Lifetime Achievement Award Fall 2012 Volunteer Service Recognition To say the Garden would be lost without its volunteers is not much of an exaggeration. In 2011, 1,916 people volunteered nearly 152,000 hours of their time to the Garden. That’s the equivalent of 78 full-time staff. On May 24, the Garden celebrated the commitment of these volunteers at the annual volunteer service recognition luncheon. 40 years of service: Kaye Quentin began volunteering for the Garden in 1972. When she started in the Climatron®, one of her first tasks was raking leaves. She moved on to the Plant Records department a few years later, where she continues to volunteer her time. In the late 1970s when the Garden’s plant collections records migrated to computerized format, she helped convert over a hundred years of paper records to database. She continues to help record when plants in the collection move or die, track plant labels, and more. 10 years—tirst row, from left: Alison O’Brien, Elizabeth Murney, Lois Cromwell, Rose Marie “Skip” Smith, Jean Rosenfeld, Eileen Carr, Pat Kloster, Carol Gravens, Mary Jo Anderson, Marti Warhurst; second row: Richard Pandort, Harold Tennyson, Norma Horn, Betty LeMatty, Virgil Mann, Marilyn Heller, Kathy Young, Linda Thomas; third row: Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson.

Brown Center meets with Ellie Justus to receive her donation for Madagascar cyclone relief. 11-year-old Pitches in for Cyclone Relief Drive When cyclone Giovanna swept through the island nation of Madagascar February 13, thousands of people lost their homes and more than two dozen people were killed. The devastation also wiped out the nation’s rice crop and many fruit trees, leaving countless citizens vulnerable to starvation. The Garden’s William L. Brown Center conducts ity-based conservation projects in Madagascar and began collecting donations to help with relief, and that’s when Ellie Justus decided to get involved. 11-year-old Ellie, whose parents Chuck and Amy are Garden members, heard Alyse Kuhlman, the Brown Center’s Madagascar Ethnobotany Program coordinator, discussing the devastation on television. Ellie began collecting donations at school, which she presented to Kuhlman June 15. As little as $5 or $10, Kuhlman said, can make a big difference in Madagascar, one of the poorest 6 nations in the world. “That can go a long way in helping us to feed this ity where we work.” The Garden’s William L. Brown Center is dedicated to the study of useful plants and the preservation of traditional knowledge. The Big Stink: Two Titan Arums Bloom Since the plant Amorphophallus titanum was discovered in Sumatra nearly 120 years ago, fewer than 160 bloomings have occurred among the specimens in cultivation. They bloom rarely and only under just the right conditions. That’s why this past summer was a lucky time at the Garden, because not one but two of these plants, commonly called the titan arum or corpse flower, bloomed here. The specimens were gifted to the Garden’s president emeritus, Dr. Peter Raven, in 2008 from Huntington Botanical Gardens in California. When they do flower, the plants emit an intense, foul odor that lasts about 24 hours. The first specimen bloomed in May and was displayed in the Linnean House. The second bloomed a month later in the Climatron®.

Stir with a whisk to blend. Store in a tightly covered jar. Use this rub on ribs, pork steaks, or chicken. Simply rub a generous amount into the meat, then roast or grill. For ribs: Rub the ribs on both sides with the BBQ rub. Place ribs on a baking sheet in a preheated 175 oven for 3 hours. Do not bother to turn them, because these ribs are being slow cooked and infused with the spices. Remove the ribs from the oven. They can be grilled immediately or refrigerated, covered, for up to two days. Grill over a low charcoal fire with the rack set as high as possible. Allow a light crust to form on the ribs before turning them over. Once the ribs are heated through and have a nice crust on each side, remove them from the grill, slice between the bones and serve. “The grants from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis, reviewed and awarded by Boeing employee teams, are a unique vote of support for the work of our EarthWays Center,” said Glenda Abney, the center’s director. University Awards Garden Botanist Honorary Degree The University of British Columbia (UBC) recently awarded honorary Doctor of Science degrees to Walter Lewis and Memory Elvin- Lewis. Walter Lewis is a senior botanist at the Missouri Botanical Garden and emeritus professor of Fall 2012 biology at Washington University; Memory is a professor of microbiology and ethnobotany and adjunct professor of biology. The honorary degrees were presented during spring congregation at UBC, their alma mater, on May 26. Madidi Project Featured in Science An article in the journal Science recently featured the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Madidi Project, highlighting the study in the Madidi National Park of Bolivia to document the effect of climate change on tree species. The Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin project, led by Garden Curator Dr. Peter Jorgensen, has been ongoing for ten years. Researchers have been measuring tree growth to determine how tree species have been reacting to changes in their environment and human activity. Elevation in the park ranges from 180 to 6,000 meters above sea level, allowing researchers to observe whether trees are shifting their range instead of adapting in place. The article appeared in the July 20, 2012 issue of Science. Saenony Transforms Plant Collections Eades: si Saas — t’s probably no surprise that the Missouri Botanical Garden keeps track of every plant within its walls. Botanical gardens have kept records of their living collections for hundreds of years, dating as far back as the 16th century. “The Garden is not just a pretty park. We’re a living museum,” said Rebecca Sucher, living collections manager at the Garden. “As such, we curate our plant collections.” Only in recent decades, though, have plant records gone digital. The Garden is currently integrating its plant collections database—the record of every a] | »? | i = ae as J : Za" SF; ow plant grown at the Garden—with a geographic information system (GIS). This involves merging database information with maps, making it easy to analyze and share data between departments, with other institutions, and with visitors to the Garden. The Plant Records staff keeps track of nearly every plant that enters the Garden. The database records whether it was purchased, donated, or collected in the wild and, if it was wild-collected, the latitude, longitude, altitude, and so on. All those data tell a story, even if it’s as simple as what to find where in Mobile technology allows Horticulture staff to monitor and record changes to plants’ conditions directly into a database from anywhere in the Garden. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Summer 2012 the Garden. The Garden is working with the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona on this project, thanks to a grant DBG received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to create a centralized GIS database for its living plant collections. The Garden has also received a $25,000 grant from the National Park Service’s National Center for Preservation Technology and Training to develop, test, and disseminate a system to facilitate data gathering on living collections. This would allow data to be gathered and entered directly into a web-based data form from a computer tablet for inventory management and outreach purposes. All gardens are struggling with records management, Sucher said. There is no single standard recordkeeping format, which makes sharing of data cumbersome. “Nobody knows what everyone else has,” she said, “which makes collaboration on threatened species conservation projects extremely difficult.” The Garden is using ArcGIS software created by ESRI, a California-based technology company. Working out in the Garden, staff can use a tablet such as an iPad to update a plant’s record including information about its condition, whether it’s been moved, or if it’s died. The database gets updated without even having to set foot in an office and turn on a computer. Garden staff is currently building the core database for this project. The Garden has just been awarded a grant from the William T. Kemper Foundation— Commerce Bank, Trustee, to complete Phase I of the project. The Garden also won a Museums for America grant from IMLS to create database modules for greenhouse tracking, Gardening Help, and conservation management. There'll be an app for that Putting this kind of information in the hands of visitors, in a user-friendly format, would give them the potential to customize their visit to the Garden in ways that are personally relevant, said Sheila Voss, vice president of Education. “While the Garden has important stories, knowledge and ideas to share, so do our visitors,” she said.

It would also allow visitors to share their own experiences through interactive features accessible online and via smartphones. The Garden is working this year on the pilot phase of the “MyGuide” series of visitor engagement tools and tactics, thanks to a grant and technical expertise provided by Maritz. The plant collections database can also share information with Tropicos®, the world’s largest botanical database, said Chris Freeland, a research associate and former director of the Garden’s Center for Biodiversity Informatics. A visitor to the Garden might learn about a plant in the collection, then scan a QR (Quick Read) code on the plant’s label to find out where other species of the same type of plant occur all over the world. If it’s available, they could even pull up pictures of the plant in its native habitat and tips from Gardening Help on how to grow it here. That’s the goal, at least, Freeland said. The Garden is actively seeking additional funding to bring all the benefits of this system to fruition. “Tt will be rolled out gradually, and the results will keep users of the website and visitors to the Garden engaged,” he said. The Art of Pruning ¢ oy e/g b Everest re . \ >A Pd € «& Ay. “a 7 7 Ts many gardeners, pruning is a mysterious and misunderstood art. Next to watering, though, it may be one of the most important things you do for your plants. by Benjamin Chu, Horticulture Supervisor— South Gardens 10 Pruning involves removing part of a plant for the benefit of the whole plant. You may be removing dead, dying, or diseased parts; helping maintain an open plant crown for good air and sunlight penetration; directing and encouraging growth; or increasing flower and fruit production. There are three types of pruning cuts: ¢ Drop-crotch cuts—used to remove the terminal end of a branch to a lateral branch; also used for height and size reduction. e Thinning cuts—used to remove a lateral branch to its point of origin on a branch or to the trunk; also used to reduce over-crown density. ¢ Heading cuts—made indiscriminately along the stem, typically when shearing hedges or creating formal shapes. Heading cuts should never be made on a mature tree, which results in the production of poorly attached, weak wooded stems that are prone to breakage. Often referred to as “topping.” a! hat Learn more Join Ben Chu for “Basic Pruning,” offered Thursday, September 2/7, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Garden. Find out when and how to prune, correct damage from pests, see a live pruning demonstration, and more. $25 members, $30 nonmembers. For information or to sign up, visit www. mobot.org/ classes. The first priority in pruning is to remove branches that are dead, dying, or diseased. This prevents the potential spread of rot and disease into the healthy part of the plant. Many trees produce two types of undesirable growth from latent buds: water sprouts, which grow vertically from the trunk; and root suckers, which start at the roots. Both grow vigorously and can quickly overtake the plant, robbing it of important nutrients. Remove them at their point of origin. Unpruned trees often develop branches that compete for space and sunlight. In time, some branches are shaded out and may die. Remove competing branches that will have the least impact on the overall crown appearance, density, and symmetry. Prune to establish good vertical spacing of branches along the length of the trunk and radial spacing of branches around the trunk. Pruning requires practice and observation. Be patient and begin slowly. It’s always better to remove too little than too much. Follow the steps outlined above, and you'll produce a healthy, vigorous plant for many years of enjoyment.

(Designed for little goblins ages 3 to 10. Included with Butterfly House admission.) Fall 2012 Dusk settles on the Costa Rican rainforest. The air begins to cool as the sun sets, and animals begin to seek a quiet place to pass the night. Suddenly there’s a flash of wings and three massive shapes speed through the air right at eye level. They seem much too large to be butterflies, but they are! This is the owl butterfly, the largest butterfly found in the New World. Unlike most butterflies, the owl only flies at dusk and dawn, a behavioral pattern known as crepuscular activity. The Butterfly House is hosting 1,000 owl butterflies every day during the month of October. The owl butterfly gets its name from the large eyespot on each hind wing that startles predators into thinking it is much fiercer than it really is. Come during the day and you will find huge groups of owl butterflies feeding from mashed-up bananas on tree trunks. Each Tuesday night, join us as we stay open until 7 p.m. to Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin watch these magnificent butterflies fly in pairs and trios around our conservatory. The sheer number of butterflies in flight offers an astounding air show like no other. Each Tuesday evening will also feature a 30-minute informal talk on owl butterflies, rainforests, and other topics. The talk is included with Butterfly House admission. The butterflies are accompanied by over 200 blooming orchids. The orchids’ fantastic colors and spectacular shapes delight the senses. Some orchids also produce beautiful aromas that fill the tropical air with fragrance. We will have a wide variety of arboreal and terrestrial orchids on display. Orchids will also be available for purchase in the Madame Butterfly Gift Shop. October Owls and Orchids is a fabulous treat that can be seen only at the Butterfly House, October 1-31, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed Mondays and open Tuesdays until 7 p.m. 11 Prairie Day Saturday, September 15, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Shaw Nature Reserve Hitch up the wagons and head out to this fun-tilled family event portraying prairie heritage through activities and demonstrations.

(photo by Emily Amberger) The wetlands area adjacent to Brush Creek. The Reserve is creating an 85-acre wetlands mitigation bank in ‘Banking’ on Wetlands Approximately 87% of Missouri’s wetlands have been destroyed since the first European settlers began to carve a living from the state’s woodlands, prairies, and bottomland forests. The United States has lost half its wetlands and continues to lose 60,000 acres annually. Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life. When rivers overflow, wetlands help absorb and slow floodwaters. They also absorb excess nutrients, sediment, and pollutants before they reach rivers, lakes, and other water bodies. Wetlands are great spots for fishing, canoeing, hiking, and birdwatching, and they make wonderful outdoor classrooms for people of all ages. Governmental agencies and conservation organizations are working to stop the loss of wetlands. Under the Clean Water Act, the Army Corps of Engineers regulates and enforces policy related to wetlands. Any projects that impact wetlands must be deemed unavoidable to be authorized by the Corps. If impacts are considered unavoidable, compensation is required to mitigate for lost wetland functions and value. One solution is to buy wetland credits from an approved “wetland bank.” Shaw Nature Reserve, with support from the Edward K. Love Conservation Foundation, is working with the Corps to create an 85-acre wetland mitigation bank in the Meramec River flood plain. The bank will contain 34 acres of wetland, a 39-acre prairie buffer, and a 12-acre tree planting. This bank will contain 46 credits that entities can purchase to mitigate for impacts to wetland habitat in the Meramec River watershed. The sale of credits is monitored by the Corps, but the revenue generated will be used for ecological restoration activities at the Reserve. Over time, the wetland bank will generate approximately $1 million in revenue, along with critically needed wetland habitat and important water quality benefits for the Meramec River watershed.
