  1. Class Outline • Reminders: • Quiz # 1 on Feb. 16th • Field Trip on Feb. 16th to Bowen Park after quiz • Level 1: review questions • Level 2 • Plant Uses • Texture • Form • Zone (Hardiness) • Plant List #3: Indoor Plants • Review: Bingo

  2. Quiz • Date: Feb. 16th • Focus on Level 1 and Level 2 Plants • There will be 10 plants to identify: • Family • Genus • Species • Cv • Common name • Landscape use(s) • There will be 5 additional questions about morphology: leaf arrangement, common shapes and margins, flower and fruit types etc. • Plus 5 questions on Level 1 E-1 (see review questions)

  3. Level 2: Identify Plants and Plant Requirements • Identify plants used in all segments of horticulture. • Identify plants suitable for planting in difficult situations. Objective: Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  4. Plant Use • Bedding Plants: tender and half hardy annuals as well as biennials and sometimes perennials. Bedding plants are used to create seasonal colour in beds and containers. • Cut Flowers: commercial flower industry or as cut flowers for gardens. Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  5. Plant Use • Trees and Shrubs: live for more than two years. A single stem about 1.4 m high distinguishes trees from shrubs. Naturally multi-­‐stemmed woody plants, grown on a single stem, are called ‘standards’. • Groundcovers: plants that have a low creeping habit. soil coverage in garden areas and effectively reduce soil erosion and compaction from overhead precipitation and weed growth. Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  6. Plant Use • Climbers: woody (lianas) or herbaceous (vines) plants that climb over structures and plants. They are often used as vertical elements as walls in gardens. • Climbers have different means of securing themselves to the support structures, with growing adaptations like twining, attaching roots or tendrils. Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  7. Texture • Texture refers to the overall visual fineness or coarseness of the plant. Plant texture is generally defined by the coarseness or fineness of the plant leaves and stems. The size of leaf, spacing between branches and foliage, length of petioles and leaf surface all affect the sense of texture. The amount of light that penetrates a leaf or tree can also be used to discern texture. Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  9. Hardiness • The ultimate deciding factor in whether a plant will survive in a garden in a given location (with adequate supplies of light, moisture and nutrients) is quite simply the lowest temperature it will have to endure. • Currently, 2 hardiness zone systems are used in Canada: • United States Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) Generally used throughout the world • The Canada Plant Hardiness Zones, Agriculture Canada Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  10. Hardiness • United States Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) • http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/Default.aspx • Vancouver Island zone 8 to 9 Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  11. Hardiness • The Canada Plant Hardiness Zones, Agriculture Canada • http://www.planthardiness.gc.ca/?m=1 • Vancouver Island Zone 7 - 8 Source: Hort Education BC, E-1, Level Two

  48. Plant Morphology & Plant Identification • Scientific Names  Ultimately based on fruit and flower characteristics • However, we may also identify plants by: • Whole plant characteristics type, form, branching habit, etc. • Leaf  form, arrangement, odor, petiole, margin, veination, texture etc. • Bark color, texture, etc. • Bud size, shape, number, etc.

  49. Plant Morphology - Plant Identification • Bud - A compressed, undeveloped shoot. Buds may be lateral or terminal. • Node- point on the stem where leaf or bud is borne. The space between two nodes is an internode • Lenticel - a "breathing pore" in the skin or bark of a stem.
