ByBobieHughes Iwasveryintrigued when I read about a 15 foot tall plant in last week's Garden Club article by Shirley Felder. When I looked at the picture of that New Zea- land flax and then lookout outside at my 18" tall blue flax (Linaceae perenne), that started as part of a CA native wildflower seed mixture, I thought "how could plants with the same name be so different." I like the variety of plants that are wildflow- ers for they add a color- ful variety to the Discov- ery Center garden. When the first warm days ar- rived on the scene in late January our hillside was covered by California pop- pies, bush lupine and blue flax. It was wonderful to have the color after the cold wet winter. The wet part brought many seeds that had been dormant for several years, back to life. As the poppies and blue flax ended their first blooming we collected some of their seed pods a trimmed them back to six inches tall. Almost imme- diately the plants started to put on new growth and now we have a second set of blossoms. The flowers are, of course, smaller but it still delightful to have another colorful hillside again six months after the first blooming. This year the Discov- ery Center is doing a great deal of experimenting with finding which plants we have will bloom more than one time during the year. This year we are working with our matilja poppy (Romneya Coulteri) by cutting back the top three feet of the stems — some were 10 feet tall and encouraging the plants to add new growth to the lower branch area. It is still too early to tell if this will produce a sec- ond set of blossoms for the Plant Sale being sched- uled for Oct. 8 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You will need to come to the sale and check it out. There are a number of plants we are trying to bring down their size, one is the white sage (Salvia apiana) that grew to 12 feet tall this spring with a flower stalk over four feet tall. We are finding the white sage is perform- ing the same whether it is in the main garden area where it receives a limited amount of water or in the dry garden area that is lo- cated between the two parking lots north of the building. The dry garden area will become our fo- cal point for the 2016-2017 year. The center wants to have all the plants la- beled in the main gar- den area. The Shasta Re- gional Community Foun- dation provided the funding to purchase in- formation centers, a main kiosk that will have a list- ing of all the plants and in which bed they can be found and plant labels to help the public learn the names of the plants even when we are not at the center. We would welcome any and all assistance to have this project completed before Labor Day. We need people to type and attach the names to plant stakes. We are also look- ing for artistic people to help decorate the listings with drawing or photo- graphs of the main plant species. To help just call me at 527-1196 or write to bhughessrdc@gmail.com or stop by 1000 Sale Lane in the Mendocino National Forest's Red Bluff Recre- ation Area. The Center is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mon- day through Saturday. RedBluffGardenClub is a member of Cascade District, California Garden Clubs, Inc. and Pacific Region, National Garden Clubs, Inc.
