Chinese flower has evolved to be less visible to pickers
11/26/2020
For thousands of years, the dainty Fritillaria delavayi has grown slowly on the rocky slopes of the Hengduan mountains in China, producing a bright green flower after its fifth year. But the conspicuous small plant has one deadly enemy: people, who harvest the flower for traditional Chinese medicine. As commercial harvesting has intensified, Fritillaria delavayi has vanished – by rapidly evolving to produce grey and brown leaves and flowers that cannot be so easily seen by pickers.

Autumn's bright stars: As winter looms, introduce a burst of cheery, colourful chrysanthemums
11/9/2020
Should your garden have lost its autumn mojo, brighten it up with chrysanthemums. Late border varieties are in their prime now, so when other plants are dead or dying, these are freshly in flower. They'll last for weeks yet, and are excellent for cutting, too. Don't confuse these with large florists' varieties. Like those, they're colourful, gently aromatic and last for ages.
