Bird seed

aliens in Britain

by C. G. HANSON

 

ABSTRACT

The petfood industry imports large quantities of seed into Britain as food for cage birds. This ultimately results in the appearance of many species of plants growing in Britain as casuals on rubbish tips or waste ground and in gardens. Some 30 species of plants are regularly introduced as bird food and these together with their impurities, regularly appear as bird seed aliens. These plants originate widely from many countries around the world.

Cultivation of bird seed samples from many sources and the records of plants occurring as bird seed aliens have produced a list of 438 species of plants believed to be introduced by this agency.

The Alpine Plants of New Zealand by Graham Ross

 "This site is for those interested in the cultivation and ecology of New Zealand alpine plants. I decided to make this website to introduce the fascinating plants that grow in the mountains of New Zealand especially those from the South Island. 
My name is Ross and I live in Dunedin, New Zealand. Dunedin is a small city near the bottom of the East Coast of the South Island.

Im interested in most plants but what interests me most are plants growing in extreme environments. Apart from alpine plants I also grow carnivorous plants.

I have been cultivating New Zealand alpine plants for more than ten years.
In 2005 I won the Alpine Garden Society (UK) Sir William and Lady Lawrence Award for contributions to the cultivation and knowledge of alpine plants.

I will be collecting seed in Autumn 2010  (from late February). I will focus my attention on small mat forming and cushion alpine plants from the South Island of New Zealand. Especially species of  Raoulia, Haastia, Celmisia, Aciphylla, Ourisia, Chionohebe as well as many others. I have been collecting seed for 12 years now with about half of that time selling the seed internationally."

The Mountain Flora of Lakeland by D.A. Ratcliffe (The Nature Conservancy). You can download the excellent PDF to inform you about the Native Plants of The Lake Country of Cumberland, Westmoreland and Lancashire North of the Sands in England, which are suitable for their Ecological Background.

Fir Tree Farm Nursery sits in a quiet rural corner of Cornwall, England. Enjoy a wander around our beds of perennials, alpines, ferns and grasses.

We have one of the largest ranges of perennials in England - over 4000 varieties of cottage garden perennials, including many rarities suited to a temperate climate. The nursery also has a large range of clematis and climbers.

If you are ordering plants from us we can do a free planting plan for any area, large or small. If you are local to us we also provide a planting and landscaping service.

 

UKButterflies Larval Foodplants website page lists the larval foodplants used by British butterflies. The name of each foodplant links to a Google search. An indication of whether the foodplant is a primary or secondary food source is also given.

Please note that the Butterfly you see for only a short time has grown up on plants as an egg, caterpillar and chrysalis for up to 11 months, before becoming a butterfly. If the plants that they live on during that time are removed, or sprayed with herbicide, then you will not see the butterfly.
 

Topic - Wildlife on Plant Photo Gallery.

Some UK native butterflies eat material from UK Native Wildflowers and live on them as eggs, caterpillars (Large Skipper eats False Brome grass - Brachypodium sylvaticum - for 11 months from July to May as a Caterpillar before becoming a Chrysalis within 3 weeks in May) chrysalis or butterflies ALL YEAR ROUND.
Please leave a small area in your garden for wildflowers to grow without disturbance throughout the year for the benefit of butterflies, moths and other wildlife who are dependant on them.

Plant Photo Galleries for Wildflowers

There are 180 families in the Wildflowers of the UK and they have been split up into 22 Galleries to allow space for up to 100 plants per gallery.

Each plant named in each of the Wildflower Family Pages may have a link to:-

its Plant Description Page in its Common Name in one of those Wildflower Plant Galleries and will have links

to external sites to purchase the plant or seed in its Botanical Name,

to see photos in its Flowering Months and

to read habitat details in its Habitat Column.

Puddleplants in the UK "are a family run business with over 15 years experience of growing water plants and running a water garden nursery. We are continually increasing our stock of plants to include new varieties as they become available.

Most of our plants are available in plug form which means they can be planted out all year round, except when the ground is frozen, as is the case with most container grown plants.

The plants have good root systems established ready to be potted on. We currently have a good selection of marginal plants, which sit in the shallow edge of the pond, and bog plants which prefer damp or boggy conditions, usually found round the outside of the pond or stream edge.

We also stock a selection of lilies and oxygenators. Lilies and deep water plants will generally be dispatched as bare root plants.

All our plants will be dispatched with labels and planting instructions to enable you to enjoy the plants to the full. They can be dispatched throughout the year, except when the weather is either exceptionally hot or cold."

 

Puddleplants have collections of plants that attract the following wildlife:-

  • Butterfly and Moth
  • Newt
  • Dragon and Damsel Fly
  • Bee with Marginal Plants
  • Bee with Bog Garden Plants

 

 

Wiggly Wigglers "is an award-winning, natural gardening company. Based on Lower Blakemere Farm in rural Herefordshire we're here to help you compost your waste with our bestselling wormeries, bokashi systems and garden composters; feed your garden birds with our home grown birdfeeds and mealworms; bring your garden to life with wildlife friendly wildflowers and native hedging; grow your own fresh salads and vegetables.

We get lots of visitors here at Lower Blakemere Farm so, back in 2002, we decided to rebuild the farmhouse’s old walled garden to show off our products in their natural environment. The idea was to to create a lovely garden for visitors to look round and let them see for themselves our recycling philosophy in action. So, with a design commissioned from the leading organic gardener and RHS Medal winner Bridget Evans, we set to work."

The Wiggly Cinema contains very informative 2 minute videos about their products.

 

 

TRUE GRUIT HERBS: Gruit was a mixture of herbs, used widely throughout Europe before the coming of the hop. Its actual composition was subject to local variations, and in many cases a closely-guarded secret, but consensus reveals that bog myrtle (Myrica gale L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) and marsh rosemary (Rhododendron tormentosum). Gruit ale is historically linked with these 3 herbs and delicious and satifying beers can be brewed from either of these on their own, but a true gruit will usually contain all three.

The recipes are meant as a starting point for anyone interested in brewing herbal beers.

 

 

Plant a Backyard Beer Garden
by Author Kristin Grant in Brew Your Own Issue Mar/Apr 2006
"Spring is here and for many homebrewers, it’s time to plant a beer garden. You won’t find lederhosen or German oompah bands in this type of beer garden. What you will find are fresh ingredients to spice up your homebrew. Brewers throughout history have added herbs and spices to beer. “For thousands of years people made perfectly wonderful beer out of whatever was available,” says Randy Mosher, author of “Radical Brewing” (2004, Brewers Publications). 

The obvious choices for a brewer’s garden are hops (Humulus lupulus) and barley (Hordeum spp.). For instructions on growing hops, see the March-April 2005 issue of BYO. And, if you’re up to the challenge of malting the barley you grow, see the May-June 2002 issue of BYO. In this article, I’ll focus on herbs and spices that are relatively easy to grow and use. "

 

 

 

 

Toxicity of Common Comfrey :-

Another problem with comfrey is that it contains at least eight pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA). While the level of PAs in fresh plant may not be very high, ready-to-use preparation often have high levels (e.g., 270-2900 mg/kg). PAs are hepatoxins and can cause irreversible liver damage. One of the problems is that the effects of the alkaloids can be cumulative. Therefore, damage to the liver may not be associated to the alkaloids in comfrey. Sometimes toxicity signs will not be present until an animal is stressed by something that requires greater liver function (e.g., lactation). Also, the leaves and roots of comfrey have been shown to be carcinogenic. PAs from comfrey given to rats caused mortality. Liver pathology was characteristic of PA toxicosis. When rats were fed dietary levels of 0.5% roots and 8% leaves, they formed hepatomas.
