Why are trilliums and clintonia not welcome?
-
I don't know :-\ - better email John Mitchell at jmitchell@rbge.org.uk
I was hoping for more information at some point - but nothing came!
-
That is what we have been advised by the Botanics staff. The exclusion of Trillium is interesting because at least one list I consulted considered Trillium to be resistant. I wasn't expecting Trilliums for the display, but we must also exclude them from the plant sales too.

Resistant to what?
-
Here's the answer, Maggi, in an email from John:
The reason why is they are North American and have been identified as hosts of Pr and as such with the SPHN having been served they cannot come into or leave the garden.
It is getting harder and harder these days to grow plants.
Yet another thing to worry about...

Sorry Carolyn but I’m none the wiser.
I googled “Pr” in relation to Trillium and came up with both the Public Relations Dept of Trillium Asset Management and Trillium Public Relations (a Canadian media firm specialising in Public Relations).
A google search of “SPHN” gave top hits as the Swiss Personalized Health Network and the Sparrow Physicians Health Network (I kid you not).
Can anyone translate? ???
-
Steve,
I assume PR is Phytophthora ramorum, since the other plants mentioned are woody and I suppose at risk. I have never heard of this applying to trilliums before.
I have no idea what SPHN is! Some kind of protection order?
-
Thanks Carolyn!
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer. ;)
-
Found it - SPHN are Statutory Plant Health Notices regarding the movement of plants in respect to various plant pest threats.
Jargon can be terribly obfuscating.
-
Sounds like an acute outbreak of 'Cobblers' all round to me!
-
A most enjoyable day. First some snaps of the plants starting with bulbs.
-
now some of the very nice cyclamen on show.
-
now some of the ferns
-
Gentians. apologies from the grower - myself -for not tidying them up properly
-
People and superb cakes
-
tours of the alpine and woodland areas ably led by Elspeth and Petra.
-
the traditional alpine house is full of colourful bulbs and other plants
-
behind the scenes is of great interest to club members
-
the woodland garden
-
more
-
and into the rock garden
-
What a bit of luck to have had good weather for the outdoor parts of the day - with the recent storms things might have been quite different!
There's always something that I see in photos of these events that takes my eye - this time it is that lovely fern Asplenium x ebenoides -I'll be looking out for that one.
-
Thanks for the wonderful pictures Stan. Any idea whose the Asplenium ebenoides was Brian and I really fancy that one?
-
I bought Asplenium ebenoides from Hartside Nursery at the SRGC Summer Event at Dunblane last year. Worth checking if they still have it for sale. Hope mine is still alive. I let it dry out too much recently.
-
Hartside - "plants with Altitude" do have it on their list!
