Picture Folder Name Pages:- Since 14 June 2019 I have also started to put my own full-sized 4000 x 3000 digital Camera images into the relevant topics in this website again for use in the Public Domain - since there may be 9 or more to a page the resulting
Foord garden flower slides Folder of 35mm 'Ektachrome' Transparency slides taken by Ron & Christine Foord of Rochester, Kent in England during the 20th century. Both have been Slides taken by Ron or Christine Foord have been scanned individually and converted by an F22MP 126PK Super 8 Slides & Negatives All-in-1 Film Scanner to JPEGS by Chris Garnons-Williams in the original size and as a thumbnail during 2020-21. Ron and Christine Foord HA94,HE95, When I have completed the conversion of all the slides from Ron and Christine Foord and inserted a relevant selection of the digitised images into the Photo Garden Flowers Galleries in some months time, then I will complete their text field in the thumbnail row starting with the
Number of Colours required to provide a practical means of roughly differentiating between flower colours, foliage colours and bark/stem colours of plants. Flower Colour:- There are 53 flower colours for All Flowers Colour Wheel and Rock Plant Flowers:- These 12 colour spokes of
Dark tone, mid-tone, pure hue followed by pastel colour:-
There are 7 flower colours:- Foliage Colour:- So as from 18 January 2021, I have decided to use the 53 colours of All Flowers Colour Wheel and Rock Plant Flowers above for the flowers and the foliage in the future combined with the 14 Flower Colours for the UK Native Wildflowers Wild Flower for the UK Wildflowers. I also intend to put the required plant into the respective pages of the Plant Colour Wheel Uses Gallery. |
List of Pictures in a Picture Folder:- Ron & Christine Foord took many photos of wildflower plants and stored them as Kodak 'Kodachrome' Transparency 35mm slides in the 1960-90s as well as these 10,000 of Garden Flowers. If they used other film, then the colour on the slides became sepia over a few years, whereas this did not occur with Kodachrome. The green perhaps got darker over a 50 year period. I am adding these scanned slides to my photos for sending to my website for use in the Public Domain starting in February 2020. |

Plant Labelling - A suggestion for plant labelling to help visitors A different solution is that each gardening member of the RHS staff at Wisley be provided with Large White Plastic Angled-Head Labels which are 20 inches (50 cms) in height with a 6 x 4 inch (16 x 10 cms) writing surface and a Marker pen with Black ink to provide a good temporary label for the above broken label (in Lost Flowers page) or for missing labels. If you are concerned about these labels going on "Walkabout", then insert another white label behind the plant and make it invisible to the public. |

Picture Folder Name Pages:- Damage to Trees in Pavement in Madeira caused by the action of man during January/February 2019. Solution to holes in trees. Solutions to stop creating holes in trees. Solution to current problem on these mosaic pavements:- 166 trees in the pavements in a short section of a road in Funchal, Madeira are being slowly, starved, dehydrated, asphyxiated, poisoned by tarmac and concrete, burnt inside their hollow trunks, roots pounded by 40 ton lorries or shoes of pedestrians, and allowed to rot until killed off during February 2019 (see information in Problems with trees in pavements in Funchal, Madeira in January/February 2018 Page, which appears to have had no effect) as shown by my 433 photos in the following pages within the Home Topic:-

The day after I arrived in Funchal in January 2020, I spoke to Rita in Owner Relations and she sent an email. Not knowing about the efficiency of the local or main government, I spoke to the reception staff and they told me that Funchal was a Municipality with its own local government with its offices in Funchal. So I took the bus into town and went round the Municipality Offices until I was escorted to a building where you could ask questions in the A group pay bills in the B group and do something else in the C group. Speaking to an official in the A group, I managed to convince him that I had more details about the tree problems on my website, so as to overcome his response of getting me to send an email. He presented a piece of paper with Eng Francisco Andrade, Est. Marmeiros, No 1, Jardins & Espaces Verdes on it. I handed this to a taxi driver and arrived. I spoke with an english-speaking colleague of his and then he very kindly agreed to talk to me with his english-speaking colleague:-
The population of Funchal is 111,892. No wonder that Cedadrive is expensive for such a small population. So, what can they use that is produced in Madeira, since the transport cost of a container from Portugal is 2000 euros (that figure was given me by an employee of a large builder's merchant, and I saw 2 containers being unloaded at their yard, which were not large ones). So I took a taxi to a builders merchant (might be Ferreirae in the upper regions of Funchal).
So, if the local basalt mine created 10mm x 10mm rocks, these could be used as spacers:-
If you use boron from colemanite (The use of ores like colemanite has declined following concerns over arsenic content) and mix it with the black sand and seawater to fill the bottom section of cavities, it will kill off the rot in the trunk and stop the cavity being filled with waste. The arsenic will also stop ants from eating it. Then mix it with wallpaper paste to fill the top half of the cavity and you have sorted the cavity problem. Painting the cut ends with the boron prevents the end from rotting (Boric acid is more toxic to insects than to mammals, and is routinely used as an insecticide). I had forgotten that I did have the supporting literature about wound dressings (as used in my year at Hadlow College to get a HNC in Horticulture) in this course book:- It is unfortunate that with all the other responsibilities that the Funchal Municipality has that they will find it very difficult to locate the finance, resources or personnel to carry out whatever remedial work to over 3000 trees being monitored since September 2019 that the Tree Expert from Portugal recommends, especially if someone continues to remove the identity discs. |

Pruning "The root system is a replica of the tree crown. On naturally grown trees, the individual root “branch” The pruning of a young tree/shrub – in the first two or three years - shapes it for a lifetime. • to stimulate growth, • to form a balance between vegetative growth (shoots) and fruit growth, • to allow the light to enter to all parts of the branches. Branches should not criss-cross and shade each other; they should be removed. The New growth of fruit tree/shrub from one season is to be cut to about 7 buds from the base of the Water shoots or suckers coming out from the root must be pulled off that root, not cut off. Vertical Apples and pears should be pruned in January, Peaches in June, stone fruits (Cherry, Plum, Greengage) During January the following tree/shrub care can be carried out on all those plants:- • Remove all dead wood • Removal of suckers • Removal of all dead and loose bark, moss and lichen by brushing with a soft wire brush.
