Quad City Botanical Center Photos (many)

conifers
17 years ago

I went back (it's been a couple years) to check out the conifers donated by Chub Harper to our local Botanical Center this afternoon. The labels were all being re-worked, and I found several mistakes, or at least I think I did. A master typed list referring to the numbered markers was all I had to go on, and several I wondered about. Anyway, something for you guys to browse through.

Regards,

Dax

Tsuga canadensis 'Dwarf Upright'

Pinus leucodermis - got some cones too!

Pinus nigra 'Arnold Sentinel' (Arnold's)???

Pinus koraiensis

{{gwi:640228}}

Pinus cembra 'Glauca'

{{gwi:640227}}

Picea pungens 'Fat Albert' (These must vary as this one is narrow? - I've seen some real wide and short stout ones)

Picea pungens 'Delp's Dwarf Blue'

Picea omorika (f. 'Pendula')

Picea glauca 'Pendula'



Labled: Picea abies 'Thomson WB' - maybe a spelling mistake and species mistake - (Picea p. 'Thomsen') - I have no idea on this one - completely confused! Looks like a pungens to me, but then again they spelled Thomson differently from the upright pungens cultivar.

Thuja occidentalis 'Warena Lutescens'

Thuja occidentalis 'Degroot's Spire'

???Taxus cuspidata 'Fastigiate Aurea'??? So as read -

Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Graceful Grace'

Pinus strobus 'Horsford'

Picea abies 'Remontii'

Picea abies 'Sherwood Spreader'

Picea abies 'Mucronata'

Juniperus rigida 'Pendula'

No label - but I assume it's a: Hepacoides m... (Seven Sons Flower - I forget the botanical name - fragrance unbelievable and of course the bark does give the plant a name, plus the bloom date)

Last photo - (camera battery problems again - darnit!)

Abies koreana 'Silberlocke' being vamped by lilac's. Got some cones from this one as well! So overall a fun time there.
