_-s MISSOURI * BOTANICAL GA N be 1 bi ; ee i ye mee sr “er: ee t ’ th a rt t Sh fs PJ J 9 wo photo by Koraley Northen President’s Comment With the holiday season in full swing, we look back at the past months and reminisce about the great accomplishments and memories made at the Garden. This year’s events and exhibits took us on an exciting journey, highlighting the Garden’s research and conservation efforts on China’s extensive plant life. We commemorated 25 years of work in one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. The celebration continues with this year’s Gardenland Express theme, “Merry Botanical Traditions.” It features some of the most beloved holiday plants such as holly and mistletoe, and silk sculptures made by the same Lantern Festival artists who dazzled so many of us this summer. These details are part of what goes on behind the scenes of our two flower shows, carefully planned and crafted by a dedicated team just for you (see page 8). For many, visiting Gardenland Express is as much a part of the holidays as opening presents. However, most holiday traditions occur around the table. This time of year wouldn’t be the same without our own family traditions. Mine includes my grandmother’s fruitcake (see page 7). The essential connection between plants and our diverse food cultures has a long, rich history and is often taken for granted when we prepare our meals. In 2013, the Garden invites you to celebrate Foodology and explore the wonderful sweet, tangy, and spicy world of food. All our nutrition ultimately comes from plants. The Garden could not have completed 25 years of plant research in China and continue to do so in other parts of the world without the support of our loyal members. Thank you for making 2012 another memorable year! Pct Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, President Z On You Make Us Great You are among 43,000 households that support the Missour!

Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson hosted a private dinner at the President’s Residence in Glassberg’s honor. The Greensfelder Medal recognizes an individual’s contributions to garden, park, and landscape planning as well as urban improvement. Through the years, Glassberg has collaborated with and supported local organizations such as the St. Louis Zoo, Forest Park, Washington University, and the Missouri Botanical Garden. She has been particularly connected with the Garden’s Shaw Nature Reserve. Her generous contributions include the Glassberg Family Pavilions, which serve as shelters and stages for educational programs, and additional restrooms that are essential for field trips. She is also committed to providing better educational opportunities for children. This school year, she is funding transportation, lodging, Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, Sally Sands, Sunny Glassberg, John Behrer, and Bob Sands at the private dinner held in Glassberg’s honor.

(photo by Allie Bronsky) Meet “Miles,” the Garden’s New EV Member The Garden’s transportation fleet has a new addition. The black 2009 MILES ZX405 was donated to the Garden by Kevin and Tracy Fober of Creve Coeur, Missouri, in July. “Miles” is a 110V/20 amp electric vehicle (EV) that goes up to 25 mph for 15 to 20 miles per charge. “Miles” joins the Garden’s existing electric vehicle, the 2000 Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) eS model, used by the maintenance staff. Both are licensed to be on the road, but while the GEM is like a two-seat golf cart with a utility bed in the back, “Miles” is closer to a regular four-passenger car. “[ With ‘Miles’] we’ve added versatility to our transportation fleet as well as our sustainable strategy,” said Deborah Frank, vice president of Sustainability at the Garden. Both electric vehicles can be charged on a regular 120V outlet, or AC Level 1, like the ones found at home. Last spring the Garden added two AC Level 2 charging stations (240V) that can support up to four vehicles. They are located in the west parking lot and are free to all Garden visitors. and programming at the Reserve for children who may otherwise not have the opportunity to explore and learn from the natural world. The Greensfelder Medal was named after Albert P. and Blanche Y. Greensfelder. Their leadershit and commitment to green space preservation left a legacy that is best exemplified by the transformation of a mining and logging site into what is known today as Greensfelder Park in west St. Louis County. The medal, which was first presented in 1980, is not awarded annually but only when the Garden identifies a person who demonstrates the Greensfelders’ love of parks and nature. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Help Preserve Part of the Garden’s Rich History The most historic sections of the Garden’s eastern perimeter wall will be restored next spring thanks to a grant from the Department of Interior’s National Park Service through the Save America’s Treasures grant program. The $529,623 grant requires a dollar-to-dollar match from the Garden.

Images of America: Missouri Botanical Garden was released November 5 and is now on sale at the Garden Gate Shop. The book is a photographic summary of the Garden’s history and most recent achievements. “I want people to be able to take the book, go out in the Garden, and get a sense of where things use to be and how things have changed,” said author Todd Styles. Styles worked closely with the Garden’s Archives Department to provide a thorough and accurate record that includes about 200 historical Garden photos. The book covers events such as Henry Shaw’s land acquisition for the Garden, the pollution crisis in St. Louis that led to the establishment of the Shaw Nature Reserve, and the Garden’s research and conservation work around the world. It also includes a foreword written by Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson.

(photo by Kevin Kersting) Is It Cold Outside? Garden Installs Weather Station The Garden installed a remote automated weather station (RAWS) to collect data such as temperature and soil moisture that will help a variety of departments, particularly Horticulture. “In horticulture, it’s the number one question we ask ourselves every day,” said Jim Cocos, senior manager of Horticulture at the Garden. “What’s the temperature outside?” The data will be digitally archived and will help guide living collections’ management decisions, assess the effects of pollution and climate change on the Garden’s plant collections, and determine the best plant protection strategies under extreme weather conditions. The Garden’s RAWS was made possible through a generous donation by Mr. and Mrs. John McPheeters and in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). The MDC uses this type of station to monitor and fight forest fires.

I try to highlight the fact that it is a representation of the wealth of plant life that provides us with wonderful resources for food. This ‘Biodiversity Cake’ includes ingredients from as many as 18 different plant species from all parts of the world. When we enjoy a slice of rich fruitcake, we should remember how the Plant Kingdom provides us with a remarkable range of products, which we can combine in ingenious ways to produce delicious foods! Ingredients: 1 roll of brown paper or parchment paper 3 sticks butter 1% cup (12 oz.) self-rising flour 2 tsp. mixed spice 1 tsp. ground nutmeg 1 tsp. cinnamon 2%4 cups (1 |b.) currants 2%4 cups (1 lb.) raisins 2%4 cups (1 |b.) sultanas 1 cup (8 oz.) Y. cup (4.5 oz.) Y. cup (4.5 oz.) 1 cup (8 oz.) mixed peel 1% cups (10.5 oz.) dark brown sugar 1 lemon, rind and juice 8—9 large eggs 1 tsp. 8 Tbsp. glacé cherries, chopped blanched almonds, chopped ground almonds molasses or black treacle Irish whiskey Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 300°F. Line a 10-inch round cake tin with a double layer of greaseproof paper or brush with melted butter. Tie a double layer of brown paper or parchment paper around the outside of the tin. Sift all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the fruit, nuts, and peel. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and grated lemon rind until fluffy. Beat in the eight eggs one at a time; add an extra one if you think the mixture needs it. Stir the egg and butter mixture into the flour and fruit mixture and add in the lemon juice. Add in four tablespoons of the whiskey and the molasses. The mixture should be soft and moist. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin. Level the top and bake the cake in the pre-heated oven for 1% hours. Then reduce the heat to 250°F and bake for another 3 to 3% hours. The cake is cooked when it starts to shrink from the sides. Check if a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean too. Cover the cake with brown paper during the last few hours to prevent it burning. Remove from the oven and leave to cool a bit before turning out onto a rack. When it is completely cool, wrap in aluminum foil. After about a week, make a few holes in it with a skewer and pour over the whiskey. Re-wrap. The cake can be iced with almond paste and icing for the holidays too.

Garden admission plus $5; free for members. ie oniiieeene _ The excitement surrounding the holiday season is almost palpable at the Garden. There is no better example than the annual tradition of the aromatic and colorful plants that fill the 5,000-square-foot Orthwein Floral Display Hall, and the unmistakable sound coming from the train tracks. The 2012 Gardenland Express Holiday Flower and Train Show is now open, and thousands of visitors mark the beginning of the holidays with a trip to one of the Garden’s signature events. They later bid winter farewell with the annual Orchid Show. If you ask Supervisor of Floral Display Pat Scace though, the holidays started back in February, and New Year’s resolutions are already in the works for next year’s shows. “Conceptually, [the shows] are in the hopper for about three years, but they’re not definite,” she said. “While the Orchid Show is Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Winter 2012-2013 in, we’re picking the color palette, the cultivars, the numbers, and the finished heights and sizes of plant material for the production greenhouses.” Having previously worked as exhibit designer assistant at the Garden from 1990 to 1995, Scace has overseen the two flower shows for the past seven years. She and her team of year-round, seasonal, and special- project volunteers work on every aspect surrounding the shows including coordinating plant lists with the Horticulture Division, building props, and setting up the trains according to that year’s theme. Picking the theme is an essential part of the production process. The story is developed based on current events or the Garden’s celebrations and yearlong topic. Similar to how this year’s Orchid Show honored the Garden’s Year of China, the 2012 Gardenland Express will include floral silk sculptures made by the same artists who worked on this summer’s Lantern Festival. The 2013 Orchid Show will recognize the Garden’s anniversary celebration of its Madagascar program (see page 10). “It’s about connecting plants in our life with the theme,” Scace said. Once the theme is chosen, the team can start putting together all the pieces that will make up two of the most beloved events at the Garden. Flower shows have been a Garden tradition for more than a century. The trains were added to the holiday show almost 10 years ago, and it became Gardenland Express. The Garden owns the permanent LGB model train collection, and Greg Krekeler—retired owner of Hobby Station in Kirkwood-assists with the installation and maintenance. During both shows, the crew works from 7 to 9 a.m. every day watering, deadheading, replacing, pruning, and vacuuming water to maintain the displays and prepare for that day’s guests. It takes one month to set up each show, so Scace’s installation team (“I-Team”) puts together Gardenland Express in mid-October. After the holiday show closes in January, the team immediately starts to assemble the Orchid Show. They work on both flower shows simultaneously throughout the year, but that doesn’t mean that they are developed the same way. Their different floor plans and props depend on details such as the trains, water features, and seasonal plants. All the plant material for the holiday show is grown at the Garden’s greenhouses, while the Orchid Show uses a combination of the Garden’s permanent collection of 7,000 orchids and other tropical plants.

She also makes sure the semi-permanent construction can be re-worked and re-used in the future. It’s been almost a year of sketching, building, planting, and decorating. The tradition continues with this year’s Gardenland Express celebrating “Merry Botanical Traditions” and the 2013 Orchid Show featuring Madagascar. Kick off the holiday season with the festive mix of blooming plants and a variety of trains that will delight everyone in the family. Once the holiday decorations are put away and New Year’s resolutions are set, let the vibrant colors, tropical scents, and authentic Malagasy artifacts take you on an exciting journey across the world to Africa. 9 Conservation | Entrepreneurs Se ee ce 7 ” és oe aE a 7 " es ie “er = a > > . . / . fs « vw co . , = i { , V % .

New Single-Petal Species Discovered in Ecuador Botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden described 131 new plant species in 2012. They were collected through research programs in countries around the world including Ecuador, Madagascar, Bolivia, and China. Among the newly discovered species is Passiflora unipetala, described as having yellowish green flowers, being pollinated by bats, and most importantly, having a single petal. This last characteristic had never been recorded in the genus or within the family. Dr. Peter Jorgensen, curator at the Garden, and co-authors Natha Muchhala and John MacDougal described Passiflora unipetala from two forests in Pichincha, Ecuador. “This new species is remarkable in several aspects. Its color show adaptation to bat pollination is an unusual trait, but its pollinator also Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Having a single petal makes Passiflora unipetala unique within the genus and family.

The Horticulture Answer Service has been helping gardeners for 50 years. (photo by Andrew Dolinky) Golden Anniversary: Horticulture Answer Service Turns 50 What began as an informal office routine by retired Garden Superintendent George H. Pring in 1963 is now a horticulture program that answers as many as 150 calls a day in the spring from gardeners across the country. The Horticulture Answer Service turns 50 this year. It continues to evolve and keep up with new technologies and new g g questions but always adheres to its original purpose: to provide help whenever gardeners need it no matter their level of experience. When Pring moved to Pennsylvania in 1969, retired Garden floriculturist Paul Kohl recruited and mentored seven men from the Richmond Heights Men’s Garden Club to assist in answering the calls. The number grew as the interest in gard increased. In 1977, the est woman to join the Answer Service was Alma Reitz. Today, Chip Tynan supervises 28 volunteers, most of them women, who come to the Garden every weekday morning and answer phone calls and emails. They also provide valuable help in Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin updating and adding information to the Gardening Help section on the Garden’s website. The volunteers have heard it all, but if the answer they’re looking for is not in any of the books, magazines, research papers, or websites available to them in the Answer Service office, they can always count on Tynan. His 28 years as the Answer Service supervisor have made him an expert on most gardening questions. “Chip knows everything,” says Angie Menard, one of the volunteers. “And he’s never ever not willing to help or answer a question.” The Internet’s popularity may have slowed things down from 16,000 calls a year in 2008 to 14,000 in 2012, but Glenn Kopp, information services manager at the Garden’s Kemper Center for Home Gardening, says both the Garden’s website and the Answer Service complement each other. “Certainly there is a lot of information online, and we do a lot in producing information that can be useful too,” he says. “But there still is a need for someone to go through the information with them and to clear up some problems that they may have.” 5 NEWS cont. New Community-Based Conservation Books Two of the Garden’s most extensive research programs are now featured in books that highlight years of study in Tibet and Madagascar and their rich biodiversity. In Khawa Karpo: Tibetan Traditional Knowledge and Biodiversity Conservation, authors Dr. Jan Salick and Robert Moseley detail the conservation programs in the Tibetan sacred mountain of Khawa Karpo. Dr. Salick, Garden ethnobotanist and climate change scientist, helps lead programs that try to preserve both biodiversity and cultural knowledge in this region. Climate change and rapid development threaten Mount Khawa Karpo, an area valued not only for its global ecological significance but also for its religious importance to Tibetan Buddhists. In The Missouri Botanical Garden In Madagascar: Celebrating 25 Years of Exploration, Discovery, and Conservation on the “Eighth Continent,” author Liz Fathman takes the reader on a journey across the island nation and the Garden’s 11 conservation sites there, where Garden staff live and work closely with the local population. Despite facing extensive deforestation, Madagascar remains one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. —— oa eyes M The Missouri Otanical Garden in Poe: Fits aa ey AGASCAR e Oa : \ “The staff in Madagascar work to make conservation sustainable by ensuring the villagers near the protected sites have the knowledge and resources to take on conservation for themselves,” says Fathman. In both Tibet and Madagascar, the Garden works closely with local government organizations, education institutions, and on an everyday basis on-site with local people. “Conservation is often done by scientists as a top-down activity, but this book illustrates our efforts to do conservation from the bottom-up,” Dr. Salick says. Khawa Karpo is available from MBG Press at orders@mbgpress.info or (877) 271-1930. The Missouri Botanical Garden In Madagascar is available at the Garden Gate Shop. Garden Scientist Takes on Missouri Pollen Project Dr. David Bogler, assistant curator at the Garden, plans to describe, illustrate, and make online identification keys to the pollen grains from all the state’s plant genera with his Missouri Pollen Project in the next four to five years. He has been interested in Missouri flora for many years, including working at the Missouri Department of Conservation and then at the Garden contributing to the second and third volumes of Flora of Missouri. Dr. Bogler collects, processes, examines, and catalogs the pollen grains throughout the year. In the summer, he oversees 10 undergraduate students in the Garden’s Research Experiences for Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Opuntia humifusa acetolyzed. (photo by David Bogler) Undergraduates (REU) program. Last year, he and the REU students collected 125 species at Shaw Nature Reserve as part of the program’s DNA barcoding project. Those same specimens were used for the pollen project. “Pollen is one of the most indestructible materials in nature, and the most beautiful,” he says. “[The project] will be used by anyone who wants to identify an unknown pollen grain—it can be a pollination biologist, a paleo- ecologist, or a forensic scientist.” New Children’s Garden Hours Starting this Spring The family-favorite “destination within a destination” will celebrate its eighth season (see page 18), and these are some admission days and hour changes to keep in mind: ¢ Open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ¢ Garden members at the Family level and above will continue to get free admission to the Children’s Garden at all times. Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon will continue to be free for St. Louis City and St. Louis County residents and members below Family level. Wednesday mornings will no longer be free for city and county residents or Garden members below Family level.

Nettles can be found in fairly wet habitats such as river floodplains, and they emerge in early spring. As with any wild plant, be sure you have identified them correctly before consuming them. To harvest nettles, I use a single leather glove, a pair of scissors, and a bag or basket to hold them. Grasping the top of the nettle with my gloved hand and cutting at the base with the scissors allows me to harvest it without getting roots and dirt mixed in. Very young nettles can be eaten stem and all, but older stems are tougher. If the stems are becoming tough, once I’m back in the kitchen, I use a knife to cut the leaves off (again, with one hand gloved to handle the nettle). Alternatively, just harvest the younger leaves at the top of the plant. photo courtesy of Tessa Curtis e In March and April, plant onion sets, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, rhubarb, asparagus, and horseradish transplants.

It illustrates the importance of wild species and how they hold the key to what will be on our table in the next 10 to SO years. The banana is the most popular fruit in the United States, but it’s not just any banana. Almost all bananas traded worldwide are Cavendish bananas, and this variety owes its popularity to the fact that it’s easy to harvest and transport, doesn’t need refrigeration, and has been marketed for decades as the most accessible exotic fruit available at your local store. “|The Cavendish] has been bred to a certain uniformity and a certain taste, so no matter where you buy your Cavendish banana, you'll always get the same,” says Dr. Rainer Bussmann, director and curator at the Garden’s William L. Brown Center. Not Just Breakfast Food Fruits come in all different shapes and colors, but when it comes to bananas, only one thing usually comes to mind. But what if bananas have more to offer? What if the small orange banana found somewhere in Micronesia could taste sweeter and at the same time solve child blindness? Would people buy it at the store if they saw it next to the gorgeous yellow ones? The answer to these questions may lie in some of the work being done by Missouri Botanical Garden researchers around the world. Dr. Bussmann knows the banana plant—not a tree but actually an herb—very well. Some of the work he and the rest of the Garden’s research staff have done involves exploring the different traditional, or wild, banana species around the world and researching the potential impact their extinction could have on the production and availability of the Cavendish banana. “The modern varieties’ uniformity makes them very susceptible to fungal infections,” he says. “So, we actually need the traditional varieties to improve the gene pool of Cavendish bananas against disease.” The reason behind this necessary dependence lies in the banana’s biological structure. He explains that a crop like the Cavendish banana doesn’t produce seeds, so there’s not much genetic exchange. Some traditional varieties have seeds up to an inch long and are indispensable for cross-breeding with the commercial ones to produce new bananas that will be more disease-resistant. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Spring 2013 =| +) = Sa pPeey — photos by Dr. Lois Englberger courtesy of Dr. Konrad Englberger Different Pohnpel banana cultivars—illustrating different shapes, sizes, and colors—highlight the rich biodiversity that traditional varieties present and that could help prevent the homogenization of commercial varities. World Interest In addition to being more resistant to pests and diseases, some traditional varieties also have proven to be more flavorful and contain more nutrients. For example, a variety found in the Micronesian island Pohnpei has a deep orange color, and test results showed it contains higher vitamin A concentration than carrots. However, just like in many other parts of the world, the increasing need to plant high- yielding commercial varieties threatened to eliminate traditional varieties altogether. “Maintenance of biodiversity, or conservation of biodiversity, can actually give us the tools to feed a growing population with healthy, nutrient-rich food,” Dr. Bussmann says. “By documenting and conserving traditional varieties or traditional crop biodiversity, we can help to maintain a resource that might serve to maintain our food supply.” The urgency of this issue has not gone unnoticed. There are efforts all over the world that seek to address food security and the loss of plant biodiversity. The United Nations’ Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) has played a role in research and conservation efforts to secure the world’s food supply, including setting up a global network of seed banks. One such initiative is the Global Seed Vault, also known as the “Doomsday Vault,” a massive structure on the island of Svalbard off the Artic coast of Norway containing billions of frozen seeds as a back-up in case these species and varieties are lost in Spring 2013 = Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Recently determined to be very rich in carotenoids (vitamin A), a ripe bunch of utin lap, or Musa x paradisiaca, could play a key role in addressing childhood blindness worldwide. the future. There is also Slow Food International’s Ark of Taste, which collects and catalogs edible plants at risk of extinction by industrial agriculture, environmental degradation, and homogenization. These projects, however, cannot address all the issues. For example, there are many plants whose seeds are killed by freezing. Many other varieties can only be maintained through vegetative propagation— transplanting and grafting—and for which the only way to preserve them is in living collections. “Botanical gardens have generally done a good job in growing material that cannot be stored in seed banks,” Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson says. “We need to research the status of species in the wild, research and find ways of storing them, have the horticultural skills and experience to grow them, ensure that harvesting practices are sustainable, and play a role in raising public awareness of the importance of this diversity.” The Garden will be serving up something special throughout the year showcasing the link between plants and food. Foodology: Dig In! features the foods that bring people together and are part of our past, present, and future. Most importantly, this celebration highlights the central role that plants play in our lives. “Making the connection between food and biodiversity, and for people to understand that they’re one and the same thing, is essential for botanical gardens and one of the great roles that we can play,” Dr. Wyse Jackson says. ge Q. What sets roses apart from other plants? A. The biggest thing is that few other plants will bloom the whole season, so you get perpetual blooming, which you don’t get in most of your other woody perennials. It’s a very versatile plant, and [roses] are very hardy. It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than any other sort of gardening. Q. What are some of the most common misconceptions about roses? A. The biggest one is that the roses are fussy and that they require a lot of maintenance and a lot of chemicals. People assume that roses are reserved for a category of gardener of a higher caliber, so they stay away from roses because they’re just “too much work.” Q. Has growing roses evolved with time? A. Absolutely. People have been growing roses for at least 3,000 years, and each culture has imparted its influence, from the Chinese, Persians, and Greeks to the European apothecary gardens and Empress 10 Josephine, wife of Napoleon, who is credited with bringing the “formal” rose garden into fashion. The recent move is to work toward roses that are hardier, more disease resistant, and that do better in the landscape while providing great flowers and fragrance. Q. Any advice for home gardeners? A. It’s worth it to do a little bit of research. Get a book on roses and try to find one that’s specific to this region. A great book I recently stumbled upon is Right Rose, Right Place by Peter Schneider. He grows roses in Ohio, where they have a lot of the same complications that we have here: very cold winters, very hot summers, a lot of humidity. Those are the three things that roses don’t deal with very well. A great move is to invest the money in joining your local rose society because you'll find that they are very enthusiastic and very generous with their information, they love growing roses, and they want other people to love growing roses.

For information or to sign up, visit www. mobot.org/ classes. Q. What are some tips for growing roses more organically or sustainably? A. Soil—if you have healthy soil, you'll have healthy plants, and everything else will fall into place. Stay away from synthetic fertilizers and systemic pesticides. Go old-fashioned and dig in some horse manure, and use some leaf litter for mulch. Q. What is your vision for the two rose gardens at the Garden? A. It’s two-fold. The first is to get people excited about roses again. I want people to come here and see some great roses that do well in this region. The second part is to get scientists and botanists interested in roses again. I think there’s a lot of fascinating research to be done about the origins of roses, how they spread around the planet, and how they evolved. There are recent discoveries that have turned some previous beliefs upside down. Editor’s note: Original Q&A edited for and clarity.

Thousands of bright blue butterflies fill the air around you. This is the experience you will be treated to during March Morpho Mania® at the Butterfly House. Everywhere you turn, you will see Blue Morpho butterflies sweeping through the air in dazzling flight as we increase our population from around 300 butterflies to 3,000! The glittering blue is easily seen flashing through the air in an unforgettable show of color. With a 6-inch wingspan, the Blue Morpho is one of our largest butterflies. It is native to the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica and neighboring Central American countries. The males are especially active fliers and spend most of their time searching for females and chasing other males from territories they establish. Females, on the other hand, are less active fliers and will spend more time perching on trees and stones or feeding from fallen fruit or tree sap. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin March Morpho Mania® is made even more special by the fact that all of our Morphos come from El Bosque Nuevo butterfly farm in Costa Rica. El Bosque Nuevo is a spectacularly successful model for conservation work. They give 100 percent of their profits to reforestation, rainforest conservation, and research. The Butterfly House is honored to be their partner in this important conservation work. Every visitor to the Butterfly House is directly supporting these important efforts as well. All admission and gift shop revenue will help fund the purchase of more butterflies and further El Bosque Nuevo’s conservation efforts. Also, stop by the newly renovated Lopata Learning Lab, which will be open every weekend so visitors can explore the many ways we are connected to the rainforest (see page 17). Play exciting games, make crafts, look at butterfly wings through a microscope, and even serve up some foods from the rainforest at our make-believe rainforest café. 11 ) eee os tee Bioretention at the Missouri Botanical Garden parking lot captures rainwater, pollutants, and debris before they enter municipal stor a ae SP ee mwater drains. (photo by Scott Woodbury) Water’s Natural, Clean Route By Scott Woodbury, Curator, Whitmire Wildflower Garden Rainwater now flows between plants and seeps into the ground, something it hasn’t done in St. Louis for at least a century. It’s happening along the city sidewalks and in the new parking lots at Missouri Botanical Garden and Shaw Nature Reserve. Water is taking a more natural route around rocks and through native plants and permeable paving on its way back into the earth instead of heading directly to a storm drain. In recent years, a variety of innovative stormwater best management practices (BMPs) have been designed and applied in our ity. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) promotes them as a greener solution to stormwater management. BMPs employ natural processes to clean, slow down, and reduce water volume. Here’s how they work: e Stones, boulders, and native plants slow flow rates, preventing erosion. e Plantings catch debris and sediment, cleaning creeks and rivers. e Native plants’ deep roots encourage water infiltration, reducing volume. e Organic rain garden soil captures water like a huge sponge. 12 ¢ Soil microbes break down chemicals like fertilizers, salt, and vehicle oils. e Plant evapotranspiration takes water from the soil, reducing volume. e Pavement is porous, allowing water to pass through. e Tree canopies capture water before it hits the ground, reducing volume. Deep-rooted native plants are a basic component of the most popular BMP: bioretention. They promote infiltration of rainfall, filter pollutants, and benefit wildlife such as birds and butterflies. In collaboration with MSD, the Missouri Department of Conservation, and Alberici, Shaw Nature Reserve developed the Greener Stormwater Solutions workshop as part of the Native Landscaping for Professionals Series. The series of workshops seeks to assist engineers, landscape architects, facility planners, and landscape contractors through the process of designing, installing, and maintaining stormwater BMPs appropriate for St. Louis.

(photos by Josh Monken) Hey erly at by wie t me Sern ob Mike and Fran Emily Woodard and John Mallon Garden for the World ...for all time The Missouri Botanical Garden is recognized as one of the top three botanical gardens in the world. It is a leader in protecting plant species and safeguarding the environment. Our work spans across the state, throughout the country, and around the world, and it includes not only scientific research and conservation but also education and ity outreach. We are proud to be the keepers of Henry Shaw’s legacy of more than 150 years. In pursuit of our purpose to preserve ecosystems and enrich life through plant research, we must change and grow, and that work requires financial resources. In that spirit, we have launched Garden for the World ... For All Time, a capital fund drive designed to secure the Garden’s future and strengthen what we do today. The scope of the campaign is far-reaching, and we will share additional news with you in coming issues. Projects that were just completed or are underway include: photos by Andrea Nickrent and Brent Johnston Lopata Learning Lab (Winter 2012-2013) The Lopata Learning Lab serves as the Butterfly House’s classroom and event space. Thanks to a generous gift from Lucy Lopata, it was remodeled and turned into a state-of-the- art interactive classroom. The room, with its new ceiling, floor, cabinetry, and custom-made learning stations, will be merged with the rest of the building to create a seamless flow of color and design throughout the Butterfly House. The finished learning lab provides visitors the chance to experience the world of insects and plants in ways they never have before. Historic Wall (Starting 2013) Protecting the future also means treasuring our past. The Garden’s historic east limestone wall (along Tower Grove Avenue) is in need of repairs. Age, weather, traffic vibration, sidewalk repairs, and tree roots have compromised its structure. The restoration is possible thanks to a grant from the Department of Interior, National Park Service through the Save America’s Treasures grant program. The $529,623 grant requires a dollar-to-dollar match for the restoration project, and the Garden continues to seek contributions to fulfill the match. Japanese Garden (Winter 2013-2014) Since its opening in 1977, Seiwa-en has become one of the favorite destinations at the Garden. Millions of people have enjoyed its paths, waterfalls, bridges, islands, and of course, plants. Great care was taken to make the Japanese Garden authentic; it features a four- acre lake, four islands including Nakajima and its teahouse built in Nagano Prefecture and reconstructed here, and bridges and lanterns that are important components of Japanese gardens. Restorations will keep this beloved piece of your Garden safe, accessible, and world-class.

Director Visits the Garden Richard Deverell, director of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, visited the Missouri Botanical Garden from April 8 to April 11. During his visit, Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Richard Deverell (left), director of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, with Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson (right) during his four-day visit to St. Louis. (photo by Ellen Flesch) he also toured Shaw Nature Reserve and the Butterfly House. In his speech to Garden staff, he not only highlighted the long- standing relationship between two of the top botanical gardens in the world—one that dates back to Henry Shaw’s time—but also spoke about the role they play in addressing some of society’s issues today such as food security and climate change. “Plant life is at the heart of solving many of those incredibly complex problems,” he said. “If we play a small role in contributing to the solution of those problems, helping the public to understand the nature of those problems and the fact that solutions do exist, they’ll be very worthwhile institutions indeed.” MBG Rated Among Top Public Gardens in the U.S. TripAdvisor, one of the largest online travel sites in the world, rated the Missouri Botanical Garden among the 10 best public gardens in the country. The site announced its Top Ten list, based on travelers’ reviews, on its blog on April 3. The Garden was ranked third. Summer 2013 St. Louis City Announces Sustainability Plan On February 28, St. Louis City Mayor Francis Slay announced the city’s Sustainability Plan and its Action Agenda outlining priorities for the next five years. Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson spoke at the press conference, held at Lambert St. Louis International Airport, about the role the Garden will play in implementing the plan. “We look forward to working with the city to use our expertise to support all efforts in environmental conservation in St. Louis and the revitalization of the city’s biodiversity and natural resources,” he said. a . suncot.cT LOUIS Garden President Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, along with Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge and Mayor Francis Slay, presented the city’s Sustainability Action Agenda. (photo courtesy of St. Louis City) Garden’s CBEC Earns LEED Certification The Garden’s Commerce Bank Center for Science Education (CBEC) received LEED™ Silver Certification for Existing Buildings. The certification process formed a unique partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)- Missouri Gateway Chapter. This pilot partnership, the first of its kind in the region, is now a model — Summer 2013 available to other building owners. “Sustainability endeavors, including LEED Certification, require a lot of people and time,” says Emily Andrews, Executive Director of USGBC-MO Gateway. “Our collaboration provides individuals who want to become LEED- accredited professionals with the experience needed to earn this credential and supports building owners who have limited resources in pursuing LEED certification.” Providing Plant-based Solutions to Urban Issues Three of the four winners of the Sustainable Land Lab competition, co-sponsored by Washingt University in St. Louis, the City of St. Louis, and Old North St. Louis Restoration Group, were supported by the Garden’s EarthWays Center. The project seeks innovative and replicable ideas to productively utilize city vacant lots. The winners, announced April 11, receive a two- year lease on the lots and $5,000 in funding to implement and maintain their projects. The three projects are Chess Pocket Park, Mighty Mississippians, and The Sunflower+ Project. “The Garden is a natural partner in the Land Lab project,” says EarthWays Center Director Glenda Abney. “The winning projects all incorporate plant-based solutions to urban issues and engage an underserved ity with plant- based benefits.” To learn more about the projects visit sustainablecities.wustl.edu/ land-labs-competition. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Another plant-based resource that the Garden provides to the community is the online RainScaping Guide coupled with a rebate program for residents within the Deer Creek watershed. Rainscaping consists of sustainable landscaping practices that help capture rainwater instead of allowing it to run off-site. The program was initiated by the Garden’s Deer Creek Watershed Alliance to improve water quality in Deer Creek and its tributaries. “The public response has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Vice President of Sustainability Deb Frank. Of the 173 rebate proposals received, 46 percent of the qualified applications received funding ($91,720 total), including both residential and nonresidential projects.

(photo by Benjamin Staver) Gamma Tree Experts Protecting Garden’s Trees During storms, as lightning finds the highest point to strike, some of the most precious members of the Garden’s tree collection are easy targets. That’s why, thanks to a generous capital donation from Gamma Tree Experts, the Garden is protecting 71 trees identified as the most vulnerable and valuable (38 in 2012 alone). “The idea behind the lightning protection is that we create a path for that electricity to move down to the ground without going through the tree,” says Vice President of Horticulture Andrew Wyatt. A copper line runs from the uppermost part of the tree, or “air terminal,” down to a ground rod. The Horticulture team picked the trees based on their historic and landscape value and their proximity to structures. Horticulture Supervisor Ben Chu, who oversees the project, says ongoing maintenance and inspection are necessary. “We’re selecting the largest and the best of our collection,” he says.

Join the Garden and its family of attractions for more activities, classes, and events celebrating the wondertul world of food. Foodology: New Herb Container Garden As the Garden celebrates the “Year of Food,” don’t miss the latest addition to the Herb Garden behind Tower Grove House. The new herb container garden, made possible by the generosity of the St. Louis Herb Society, features 15 containers representing five regional cuisines— Chinese, Indian, Thai, French, and Lebanese—and their respective recipes. “We wanted to use containers to show that you don’t need to have a garden to grow herbs,” says Garden horticulturist Jennifer Kleeschulte. “It’s a great alternative for people living in the city.” Four other culinary regions are also represented by herbs planted around the containers: Mexican, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. The Herb Garden is not the only area of the Garden transformed to celebrate plants and food. The Horticulture staff has been adding edible touches throughout the Garden this year. Visit www.mobot.org/foodology to watch videos and read more about these edible gardens straight from the team of horticulturists who plan, plant, and harvest them. Edible Plant Life List By Andrew Townesmith, WLBC Research Specialist Pawpaws (Asimina triloba) are the northern-most representatives of the tropical plant family Annonaceae. They are often described as the largest fruit native to North America; the fruits are slightly elongated but about the size of a large apple. They usually ripen during the first two weeks of September, but I have seen some as early as the end of August. Pawpaw Coconut Honey Ice Cream By Dr. Catrina Adams, Manager of Education Technology at the Botanical Society of America Ingredients: 1 cup milk or cream 1 can coconut milk pulp from about 5 pawpaws % cup honey Summer 2013 Previously, I have used pawpaws to make pawpaw bread, (following a recipe for banana bread, but substituting pawpaws for bananas), or acustard.

Don’t forget to check out the “Your Garden” section at www.mobot.org photo by Andrew Dolinky me A Fine Blend Kk , ' The history, science, and love behind the Garden’s close connection to wine. Garden founder Henry Shaw is known for his detailed business records. He meticulously wrote down every transaction, plant collected, and art commissioned. However, very little is known about his private life, and nowhere in his archived personal correspondence does he write much about one of his true loves: wine. His extensive wine collection probably wouldn’t have been discovered had an inventory not been done after his death in 1889 to carry out his will. It’s not known when he started collecting wine, says Garden Archivist Andrew Colligan, but some of the earliest receipts show that he purchased wine as early as 1824, long before he built Tower Grove House. Today, it’s hard to know what happened to his wine collection. What is known is that his love of wine was profound: not only did his collection contain more than 3,000 bottles, but he also studied and wrote about wine and grapevines in his book The Vine and Civilisation (sic) in 1884. “He who has a good cellar well filled cannot too soon make himself acquainted with its management, and with the history of that beverage, which,” he writes, “used in due moderation, may be reckoned among the most precious gifts of heaven to the temperate and rational man.” In The Vine and Civilisation, Shaw explains the history of wine, its qualities and production in different parts of the world— from France to Spain to China to Argentina—and his advice for enjoying it. “Taste for good wine, like music and painting, is not attained without cultivation and long experience,” he writes. His cellar included Cognac, liqueurs, whiskey, rum, beer, and of course, wine. He had some German wines, but most came from France: Champagne, Burgundy, many from Sauternes and Barsac, and most impressively, more than 800 bottles from the Bordeaux region. “Dipping into the Garden’s archives, we find that Henry Shaw was clearly a wine connoisseur and a generous host who stocked his cellar with some of the finest wines available anywhere in the world at that time,” says Garden President and wine connoisseur Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. The Bordeaux wines include names that today are among the best in the world, says Dr. Wyse Jackson, including Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Kirwan.

(photo by Andrew Dolinky) Grapevines and Science Henry Shaw also wrote about the conditions that grapevines require to produce good wine. “The first requisite to make good wine seems to be a peculiar quality in the soil in which the fruit is grown, more than the species of vine itself,” he writes. “The second requisite to good wine is to select the species of vine best suited to the soil, aided by a judicious mode of training and cultivation.” He also writes about the ideal temperatures to grow grapevines: annual mean temperatures between 50°F and 63°F, or as low as 48°F provided the summer temperatures rise to a mean of 68°F. It is this fine temperature balance for grapevine growth that the Horticulture team at the Missouri Botanical Garden will be studying in the next few years in one of the experimental gardens in the William T. Kemper Center for Home Gardening. The project is being done in partnership with Saint Louis University, its Center for Sustainability, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture—Grape Genetics Research Unit. Missouri-native grapes present an excellent opportunity to study the impact that rising temperatures have on crops: they have developed a resistance to extremely hot and humid summers, cold winters, and pests that attack the plant during the highest temperatures. St. Louis also provides the perfect setting for this research because its “urban heat island” temperatures (up to 4°F warmer than its surroundings) imitate the projected climate conditions. Scientists and horticulturists will be monitoring two native Missouri grapevine species: Vitis riparia Michx. and Vitis rupestris Scheele. The grapes will be checked about six times a year for physical responses to weather stress as well as changes in their genetic expression. The purpose of the experiment is to understand how different yet closely related species respond to stressful environmental conditions and to help develop sustainable agriculture practices for the future. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin |. (Right) A Vitis npana rootstock starts showing signs of bloom in one of the Garden’s greenhouses as it awaits planting in the True or False: American Grapes Saved French Wine? True. George Engelmann, Henry Shaw’s scientific advisor and close friend, played a key role in saving the wine ieee in the 19th century. During the 1860s and 1870s, the pest Phylloxera vastatrx almost wiped out the entire population of Vitis vinifera in France, the most important species used in commercial wine production in the world. When French scientists discovered that the louse was from the United States, they studied American species to find the one that would be the most resistant to Phylloxera vastatnx. Their travels brought them to St. Louis, where entomologist Charles V. Riley was studying the insect’s life cycle. Both Riley and French scientist Pierre-Alexis Millardet consulted Engelmann because he had studied native grapevines. Engelmann showed Millardet one species to graft with French grapevines: Vitis npana. He even sent hundreds of thousands of seeds collected along the Mississippi Valley to France. The plan worked, and the wine industry was saved. =" DO AZF nN MA WM 2D S maT-yoewvVF HAT wo oOo Mm TK TFT DW Mtn SP ZK CO 2 ya OCD mr 2S ODS OS] OO 0D DO Tt 2 2 9) FT KR Se TT 77 0 N WD 7 TD BS TD —< G@ — OD Oo FF Fr co a= = —- TPT rTwnoat=- ata DoUTOUM™NM lh Cage-free Usually referring to poultry, this term means the animals are not caged up and have space to roam. This space, however, may not be very large, and the animals are often kept in hen houses. Certified Naturally Grown An alternative to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic certification, this term applies to products grown with organic practices and refers toa program where farmers inspect one another’s farms. Free-range Usually referring to poultry, the term means that the animals are free to roam on the farm and eat the pasture during the day. They’re usually moved inside at night to protect them from predators. Local There is no official geographic boundary that the USDA uses to label “local,” but it’s generally used to define farmers selling food directly to consumers. To be considered local, food commonly travels no more than 150 miles. 10 ? a Word: FW K CG R V tL O Z I GK | | V H Y X O T MW J N K O L Y KL C L Z A JS F E R A W F QA G A SS ¥Y CG M § Ss U S R N H OO Q S$ _ L V I H O U LE G IW Y | N Q V RR T BM Z I X P | G@ Z R A G@ Z M G DV I| B JN Q N P N Natural According to the USDA, the term applies to products that contain no artificial ingredients or added color and are minimally processed. The label must explain the use of the term “natural.” Organic To be certified “organic” by the USDA, farmers use sustainable practices including crop rotation and don’t use chemical fertilizers or pesticides, synthetic drugs, ionizing irradiation, or genetic engineering. Pasture-raised/Grass-fed This term applies to cattle, poultry, and other herd animals, and it means that they eat pasture during the warm months and hay and silage during the colder months throughout their lives. Don’t be misled by a claim of “grass-fed” meat—these animals all start out eating grass. “Grass-finished” refers to the animals eating grass, wild plants, dried hay, and silage throughout their lives. “Grain-finished” means they ate forage throughout their lives up until the final month(s) when they were “finished” on grain.

They have inspired many cultures with stories of love, hope, and spiritual renewal. Throughout the world, festivals are held to celebrate their arrival each summer. It is in the spirit of these global celebrations that the Butterfly House offers its Firefly Festival on the first three Wednesday evenings in June from 8 to 9:30 p.m. The biology of these living lanterns is even more fascinating than the folklore. Fireflies are a type of beetle. The flying individuals are males attempting to find females sitting in grass or other low vegetation. The flashes that give them their name are communication signals delivered in a specific pattern for each species. Females watch for this signal and answer with a flash of their own to show the males they are ready to mate. The flashes have a message for predators also—“leave us alone.” Most fireflies are very toxic if eaten. They contain substances that are chemically similar to Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin poisons found in some toads. Thus, they are safe from most predators. The larvae of some species can flash also, though they are more likely to produce consistent glows. This behavior has earned them the name “glowworms.” Firefly larvae are predators of other arthropods, snails, or slugs. Some firefly larvae have specialized mouthparts that allow them to wrest snails from their shells. Most adult fireflies feed on pollen or nectar, but predation does exist in their adult years as well. Some adult female fireflies are known to mimic the flashes of another species so they can lure males and eat them. This behavior has earned them the nickname “femme fatale fireflies.” The Firefly Festival will celebrate the beauty of these wondrous creatures. Participants will learn about the role of fireflies in nature and make a firefly craft that really lights up. Then, they will head outside with their “fireflies” for a homemade light show.

With the strains on natural ecosystems increasing every year, many conservation organizations are looking for ways to supplement on-the-ground plant conservation efforts. One valuable conservation tool is seed banking. This year the Missouri Botanical Garden is expanding and strengthening its regional and international plant conservation efforts with a new Seed Bank program. Seed banks are long- term storage facilities where seeds are dried and stored at low temperatures in order to preserve them for future conservation and restoration uses. They enable us to conserve a high level of genetic diversity of a large number of species within a relatively small amount of space. The Seed Bank facility is located at the Shaw Nature Reserve. Support for the initial setup and physical infrastructure, including a backup generator for the storage freezers in the event of a power outage, has been provided by generous donations from Ann L. Case, Dr. and Mrs. William S. Knowles, the Edward K. Love Conservation Foundation, Mr. David T. Orthwein, and Mr. Blanton J. Whitmire. The Seed Bank’s first goal is to support the integration of existing 12 Se After seeds are collected and cleaned, they are dried in desiccator cabinets, packaged in four-ply foil bags, and Stored in freezers.

It will protect the viability of wild-collected seed that has been gathered by Horticulture and Research staff on their projects around the world. Seed Bank staff will collaborate with and support ongoing efforts by the Center for Conservation and Sustainable Development to conserve the imperiled flora of the southeastern United States. It will also support the horticultural plant development and restoration objectives of the Reserve by collaborating on the collection and storage of seeds of regional native plants. The second goal of the Seed Bank is to collect and store the entire Missouri eco-regional flora by 2020. The first phase of this project is focused on the Ozarks. The unique geologic history and habitat complexity of the Ozarks Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin a: Se ass I make the region home to many endemic species and a hub of plant diversity. Factors that we consider when prioritizing plant species for seed collection include habitat, horticultural value, and conservation status. We also consider storage behavior, or the seed’s ability to be dried to low moisture levels and stored at low temperatures. These so-called “orthodox” species are ideally suited for seed banking. Species with seeds that cannot be dried will be preserved via alternate methods, such as cryopreservation at partner institutions or propagation for use in the Garden’s living collections. This combination of conservation methods highlights the importance of seed banks and living collections working together to preserve plant material for the future. Summer 2013 January through March 2013 A tribute gift to the Garden is a wonderful way to honor family and friends. Tributes of $25 or more are listed in the Bulletin. \f you have questions regarding giving opportunities at the Garden, please call (314) 577-0805.

The Garden’s research and education work contributes to the discovery and preservation of plants and, in many cases, the traditional knowledge associated with them. We’re proud that our ethnobotanists are leaders in studying and preserving this important balance between plants and people (see page 5). That is why it was fitting that the Garden hosted ethnobotany experts from around the world to develop a program to preserve useful plants and their communities’ traditional knowledge (see page 4). Preserving biodiversity, however, should not be limited to scientists in botanical gardens and research institutions. The choices we make every day can have an impact on conserving plant diversity and the environment—particularly the food we eat. Growing heirloom fruits and vegetables (see page 8) and incorporating wild natives in our landscapes (see page 12) are just a few ways both farmers and home gardeners can help prevent biodiversity loss. As we wrap up our Year of Food celebration, I encourage you to continue learning about the plants that feed us and the role they play in our lives. It is because of the incomparable support that you, our volunteers (see page 6), and outstanding individuals (see page 4) give every day that the Missouri Botanical Garden continues to be a leader in plant research, education, and conservation. On behalf of everyone at the Garden, the Butterfly House, and Shaw Nature Reserve, thank you!

The workshop offered leaders in these fields a chance to discuss and share ideas about their work. It was also an opportunity to draft a document appealing to the international ity to work to preserve plants that are useful to humans and promote traditional knowledge. “We recognize that the [GSPC] is very important,” says Edelmira Linares of the National Autonomous University of Mexico Botanic Garden (JBUNAM in Spanish), “but there are still holes that need to be addressed and that we can contribute to so true conservation can be achieved.” As one of the top botanical institutions in the world, the Garden combines its leadershit in implementing the GSPC with the expertise of its William L. Brown Center in the study of useful plants, their relationship to humans, and their conservation. “It’s really important to come together and share our experiences, identify gaps and needs, and see how we can move forward,” says Ina Vandebroek of The New York Botanical Garden. “The Missouri Botanical Garden is taking a cutting-edge role by being at the forefront of this initiative.” 4 Vijay Barve (left), of the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions in India, and Dr. Ehsan Dulloo (right), of Bioversity International in Italy, at the ethnobotany workshop discussing the United Nation’s Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. Leaving a Legacy Three longtime friends of the Garden recently passed away: Sonya “Sunny” W. Glassburg (1918-2013), Lucy L. Lopata (1914-2013), and Doris I. Schnuck (1925-2013). Each was a generous supporter of the Garden with unique legacies across our family of attractions that will benefit visitors for years to come. Sunny was a supporter of the Garden for over 30 years. She wanted to share the expansive natural beauty and conservation work of Shaw Nature Reserve with a broad array of visitors— especially children. Sunny’s gifts to the Reserve expanded education programming and provided school transportation funds, ensuring all children could enjoy the Reserve regardless of income status. The Glassberg Family Pavilions and restrooms will continue to shelter schoolchildren and families at the Reserve for many years. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Lucy was a supporter of the Garden for over 50 years and was also actively involved in the establishment of the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House. She wanted to engage children with the joy of nature and foster their natural sense of wonder. Whether they are investigating the Lopatapillar sculpture and searching for insects in the Native Garden or creating projects and memories in the Lopata Learning Lab, visitors to the Butterfly House will continue to connect to nature in a playful, magical environment thanks to Lucy’s gifts. Doris was a supporter of the Garden for over 40 years. Her biggest joys in life came from sharing the achievements and experiences of her children and grandchildren. To honor this generous spirit, her six children supported the development of the Doris I. Schnuck Children’s Garden: A Missouri Adventure in 2006. This two-acre adventure garden introduces children to the significance of nature, botany, and Missouri history in fun and innovative ways. Education, play, and exploration occur across this garden space. Each of these exemplary individuals created a wonderful legacy for visitors across the Garden’s family of attractions. Their collective impact is even greater, and generations of children will be enriched because of their vision and generosity. Fall 2013 Garden Curator Elected Distinguished Economic Botanist 2014 a Dr. Jan Salick, ta Senior Curator at the Garden’s William L. Brown _ Center, was recently elected Distinguished Economic Botanist 2014 by the Society for Economic Botany (SEB). The award is considered the highest honor given to ethnobotanists. “It’s especially nice for me because this was my 30th anniversary of starting out in ethnobotany,” she says. “The paradigms have changed in these past 30 years, and it’s been fun to be a part of that.” Dr. Salick has been a part of SEB for many years, including Council Member and President. Library Awarded Grant for Engelmann’s Letters The Garden’s Peter H. Raven Library received a one-year grant to digitize Dr. George Engelmann’s correspondence. This project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State. Engelmann was a world-renowned botanist and Henry Shaw’s scientific advisor and close friend. The library will scan over 5,000 letters written to Engelmann by some of the most notable scientists and explorers of the 19th century. “It’s exciting!

This Eugenia was found in the littoral forests of Petriky in southern Madagascar in 1989. The team that collected it included Garden Curator Dr. Gordon McPherson and David Rabehevitra, a former student and botanist with the Garden’s Madagascar Program. Dr. Neil Snow, a former graduate student at the Garden, described the new species. The team made the discovery while doing an extensive botanical inventory on the island’s littoral forests in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their project led not only to the discovery of many new species but also to the establishment of the Garden’s first conservation project in Madagascar, Mahabo, which was one of the threatened sites the team visited while doing research. A new protected area was recently established to conserve the most intact and species-rich part of Petriky, which includes a population of Eugenia petrikensis. = =e \ ge es | = 7 \ orn ‘E : 40 . years | 40 years— Mary Jane Kirtz, Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson. 30 years—Jim Jackson, Anne Buhr, Dr. Wyse Jackson, Bev Schmitt, Jean Leonhardt, Eileen Hahn.

(photos by Molly Krohe) Volunteer Service Recognition The Missouri Botanical Garden would not be the world-renowned institution it is today without its volunteers. In 2012, more than 1,800 people volunteered more than 140,000 hours of service at the Garden, or the equivalent of 73 full-time staff. The Garden celebrated this remarkable service during the Volunteer Appreciation Evening on May 16 and the Volunteer Service Recognition luncheon on June 13. 40 years of service: Among those honored that day was Mary Jane Kirtz, who celebrated 40 years of service as a Garden volunteer. She began volunteering in 1973, and over the decades she has served on the Members’ Board, the Garden Docent program, and the Tower Grove House Historical Committee. Her extensive knowledge on the Garden’s sculptures was key for the book Sculpture at the Missouri Botanical Garden, which was published in 1988.

Edible Plant Life List By Andrew Townesmith, WLBC Research Specialist Wild persimmons in Missouri are produced by the American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). The Asian persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is the persimmon found in supermarkets. I find the American persimmon to have a more complex and interesting flavor than the Asian persimmon. By mid-September, persimmons are ripe in much of Missouri. As they ripen, they become very soft. Fruits continue to ripen for up to a month, and may be present on the trees after the leaves have fallen. Last year while camping in the late fall, I found several persimmon trees bearing fruit and decided to make persimmon pancakes. Check out www.mobot.org/foodology to read my blog and get the full recipe. Learn more! Go to page 12 to read more about persimmon and other wild edible Missouri natives.

Tree Climbing Competition Returns to the Garden The International Society of Arboriculture-Midwest Chapter returned to the Garden for first time in 16 years on June 8 to hold its Tree Climbing Championship. Fall 2013 The competition hosted 32 participants from across the region, including Garden horticulturist— and the only female competitor— Teresa Pafford. “It’s intense, kind of like a roller coaster,” she says of her first time competing. “It was a very good experience, and I definitely hope to do it again.” After five preliminary rounds, she and three others advanced to the Master’s Challenge. Champion Brandon Toppins of Springfield, Missouri, moved on to the International Tree Climbing Championship in Toronto, Canada this past August. After recovering the 150-lb dummy in the aerial rescue round, Teresa Pafford was one of the finalists at the Tree Climbing Championship.

Plants e Winter cover crops should be sown in October. e Many vegetables—Brussels sprouts, kale, leeks, parsnips, celeriac, and carrots—produce more sugars or convert starches to sugars after a frost, making them even tastier when harvested. e Beets, radishes, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, and turnips can be covered with | to 2 feet of straw or leaves in late fall and harvested all winter long. Maintenance e Watch out for cabbage loopers on your broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. Pick them off as soon as you spot them or protect your crops with row covers. e Pull mulch away from the base of fruit trees to deter hungry rodents from gnawing at the bark. e As fall crops are harvested, make sure to remove all plant material from the bed to prevent diseases.

Everybody eats, and many people cook, so these activities have been central to our celebration. But we are also a garden, so we celebrate the growing of edible plants. Our vegetable and fruit gardens are where most of that growing happens every year, but this year many of our display gardens have incorporated edible ornamentals (or ornamental edibles, as it were!). Growing food for consumption is a hobby to many, but to an increasing number of people in Missouri, it is an occupation. In fact, Missouri ranks #2 in the nation in the number of small farms, defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as an agricultural operation from which at least $1,000 worth of product is (or would be expected to be) harvested in a year. In writing about the local food movement in Missouri, my co-author and I talked with over 200 small-scale farmers across the entire state. Interestingly, many of the farmers we interviewed have a lot SSE: ty ange ee Sats a, ‘s in common with home gardeners, except their produce is for sale! The majority of farmers profiled in our book adhere to a general set of sustainable farming principles outlined by the USDA that include: e Soil management to enhance and protect soil quality. ¢ Selection of varieties that are well suited to the site and to conditions on the farm. e Diversification of crops and other practices to enhance the biological and economic stability of the farm. On the last point, one way smaller farms are able to diversify is by growing more heirloom varieties. In the U.S. it is estimated that 90 percent of our historic fruit and vegetable varieties have vanished (Charles Seibert, “Food Ark,” National Geographic, July 2011). As we reported in an article last spring about bananas and biodiversity, reliance on fewer crop varieties leaves the food supply weaker and more susceptible to pests and disease. Botanical gardens like ours have played a significant role in cultivating biologically Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Fall 2013 we he ee i, if Pe * oy me & a = (Left) Solanum tuberosum ‘Carola’, ‘All Red’, ‘All Blue’, and ‘Purple Viking’ heirloom potatoes from Seed Savers Exchange. (Right) Zea mays ‘Strawberry’ and its signature ruby red kernels. diverse plants, including food plants. But the gardens here are for display and research, not consumption. So what is a farmer or home gardener with an interest in heirloom varieties to do? Seed Savers Exchange is a national nonprofit organization that sells seeds of heirloom edibles (and flowers) and also hosts a members’ exchange whereby members can buy and sell their own seeds with each other. Here in Missouri, Baker Creek is one of a handful of commercial heirloom seed sellers. Closer to home in St. Louis, Local Harvest Grocery has instituted a ity seed library. Acting like a local seed bank, the library collects and saves seeds from local growers, then “lends” them to other growers with the promise that some of the produce be left to collect the seeds and return them to the library for future “borrowers.” The library allows home gardeners and others to try new varieties while preserving or even restoring crop diversity to the area. Home gardeners who borrow these seeds invest the time and effort needed to raise them, but the only real risk is that the end result is disappointing for one reason or Fall 2013 another. Farmers face a bigger risk in raising diverse crops: finding a market for the produce and being able to cover the cost of producing it. For farmers who want to grow heirloom crops (or raise heritage livestock), Slow Food St. Louis offers micro-grants to facilitate the purchase of seeds or animals, as long as they fit the definition of an heirloom or heritage variety. A successful crop or herd can bring valuable business to a small farmer, especially in the race by local restaurateurs and chefs to be the first to offer the latest and rarest food on the menu. Whether you are a home gardener, a farmer, or a supporter of local food, taking a chance on heirlooms has many benefits. Heirloom varieties typically taste better and offer a wider variety from which to choose. But for those of us at the Garden, their contribution to preserving biodiversity may be the most important reason to grow, eat, and enjoy them. So the next time you put a slice of heirloom tomato on your sandwich or make tomato sauce (sidebar), congratulate yourself for helping the planet.

Reduce speed to low and slowly add a drizzle of the herb-intused olive oil. Stop when the mixture reaches near the top of the blender. Repeat with remaining simmered tomatoes and olive oil. INO OO _ On Cy) jad Adapted trom Missourl Harvest: A Guide to Growers and Producers in the Show-Me State Summer brings an abundance of fresh produce, and when you’re in the middle of it, it seems like there will be no end to the quantity and variety of fruits and vegetables. But those summer months turn to fall and winter, and with them comes the absence of fresh local produce. That doesn’t mean you can’t eat summer vegetables and fruits anytime as long as you have preserved some in advance. Simple methods to preserve foods include freezing, drying, canning, and pickling. To freeze tabl vegetables like green beans, corn, tomatoes, and okra, blanch them first by washing and (optionally) cutting them up into the desired size, then boiling them for a few minutes until the color intensifies. Then immediately drain the vegetables and plunge them in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain them when they are cooled, place them in freezer bags, and store them in the freezer. Fruits can be sprinkled with a bit of ascorbic acid dissolved in water (available where you buy canning supplies), spread on a baking sheet or other large tray, and placed in the freezer. When the 10 fruit is frozen, transfer to airtight containers or freezer bags and label them with the date and contents. You can dry fruits and vegetables in a food dehydrator or in the oven on low heat. Blanch first, then heat the oven to 140°F or 150°F. Place cut or sliced vegetables or fruits on baking sheets in the oven, making sure there is enough space between the oven racks for air to circulate. Keep the oven door open slightly to allow moist air to escape. Check every 30 minutes, stirring the vegetables or fruits and moving the baking sheets to ensure even exposure to the heat and to avoid cooking them (you’re just trying to remove the water from them). Fruits and certain vegetables can also be made into butters, jams, or preserves; sorbet, granita, or ice cream; juices; or infusions. Pickling and canning vegetables like green tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, beans, carrots, peppers, and garlic takes a little more effort and equipment than freezing or drying, but not that much. Once you have the proper equipment, you may never buy store pickles again. Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin Preserving the Bounty Quick pickles are the easiest to make, and there are many good recipes out there. You can use different types of vinegar (white, cider, rice), but make sure whatever you use has 5S percent acidity. Some people like to cut the tartness with a little sugar or agave, which is fine. Rather than making individual jars of pickles, you may choose to combine them into a giardiniera, which is essentially mixed marinated vegetables. Of course, another great way to preserve summer’s bounty to enjoy later is to make sauces. Tomato sauce is probably the most common (see page 9), but also consider red pepper sauce for a bit of a kick.

Fall 2013 It started in 1993 with a spark in Evelyn E. Newman’s heart after seeing the butterflies in Chiang Mai, Thailand. When it opened its doors at Faust Park in Chesterfield, Missouri, the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House introduced visitors of all ages to the beauty and ecological importance of butterflies. It was named in honor of the wife of Sam Sachs—who was influential in the development of Chesterfield—and her generous spirit. Shortly after opening to the public in 1998, the Butterfly House became one of St. Louis’s top attractions and premiere butterfly houses in the nation. In 2001, it became a division of the Missouri Botanical Garden. “This inspiring display of butterflies and their role in preserving Earth’s environmental balance is a superb complement to the Garden’s programs in botanical research and science education,” said then-Garden President Dr. Peter H. Raven of the addition. Over the years, the Butterfly House has expanded its educational programs, special events, and animal exhibits to include other insects and arthropods. Every year, more than 140,000 people Missouri Botanical Garden Bulletin get a closer look at these magnificent creatures in a setting like no other. “It’s such a unique, unbelievable experience to have butterflies flying around you,” says Laura Chisolm, Living Collections Manager. After 13 years working at the Butterfly House, she has seen it grow— from the Emerson Lakeside Terrace to the Lopata Learning Lab—and give visitors an unforgettable way to learn more about these animals and their role in our lives. Today, the Butterfly House continues to be the only dedicated insect facility in the country accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums as well as a leader in butterfly conservation. Its primary supplier, El Bosque Nuevo in Costa Rica, is a butterfly conservation organization that uses sustainable methods in its operations. The Butterfly House will continue to establish, expand, and promote local community projects, including butterfly counts and the establishment and conservation of riparian parks. Come celebrate with the Butterfly House!

(Left) Pawpaw (Top) Blackhaw viburnum, and (Bottom) Persimmon. (photos by Scott Woodbury and Dan Tenaglia ) By Scott Woodbury, Curator, Whitmire Wildflower Garden, and Cindy Gilberg, Native Landscaping Horticulturist Long before grocery stores and restaurants, indigenous people of the Midwest looked outside for all that they needed—food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. Though many feel that foraging for food is a thing of the past, it actually puts us back in touch with the bounty of nature and the rhythm of the seasons. Many native food crops make great choices for creating an edible home landscape. This is a small sampling of native edible plants you can find in the wild or grow in your garden. Several native trees and shrubs bear delicious fruit, and some have attractive flowers that add beauty in different seasons. To find others, pick up a handout of the wild edibles in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, available at the Shaw Nature Reserve Visitor Center. Always remember to properly identify plants collected in the wild before eating them; many have poisonous look-alikes. Be sure you know which part of the plant to use and how to prepare it—does it need to be cooked or can it be used raw? 12 Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) e Average height: 20-25 feet e Large, tropical-looking leaves e The fruit ripens in early September and resembles small, fat green bananas that taste like a custard made of banana and mango. ¢ Grows under shade but adapts to full sun. Blackhaw viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) e Average height: 10-15 feet ¢ One of the showiest native shrubs e Adorned by large clusters of small white flowers in June e By August or September, the fruit ripens to a dark blue. These may be eaten fresh or processed into a ready-to-spread pulp for toast and for making fruit leather. ¢ Grows under full to partial sun and is tolerant of a wide variety of soils. Persi (Diospyros virginiana) e Average height: 25-30 feet e Fruit may ripen as early as late August but seen as late as October or November. e Be sure that it is ripe (soft with an easily broken thin skin) before taking a bite; the unripe fruit is very astringent. e The sweet pulp is used to make pudding, bread, and other bakery items.
