2A Daily News – Thursday, May 23, 2013 Community people&events Cottonwood Library celebrates Rodeo Week G e n e v a DrinkwaterToms, a member of the Shasta County Cattlewomen's Assn., was the guest reader at last week's Cottonwood Community Library Pre-School Storytime. The mission of Storytime during Rodeo Week in Cottonwood was to show the young bucka- Rynn Cobb, 5, of Cottonwood roos in attendance some of the tools and equipment that a modernday cowboy might use while out working on the ranch. The children were also treated to some fun and whimsical cowboy stories. Mrs. Toms showed the children a bandana she brought which was adorned with local brands from ranches in the area. Cowboy boots, branding tags and fence pliers were shown and discussed. The children marveled at the pill dispensers used for cows and calves, and the size of the pills that they are given. Many were as big as the child's finger. Before heading to the back room to construct "cowboy picture frames," some greetings were given by Rusty, the cowboy puppet. The children and parents in attendance were delightfully entertained by Mrs. Toms and her knowledge of the western way of life. The library is grateful to the Shasta County Cattlewomen's Association for sponsoring Storytime for the month of May, and a sign in the children's area of the library proudly proclaims the fact. The Cottonwood Community Library kicks off its annual Summer Storytime schedule on Wednesday, June 19. This year's theme will be "Let's Go to the Circus." For more information, please call the library at 347-4818. B is for begonia By KATHY BRAMHALL Red Bluff Garden Club's annual Flower Show "Beyond This World" is a wrap. It was a good show, despite the brutal winds the week before. We had over 100 rose specimens, a dozen bearded irises, plus several other bulb/rhizome species including one incredible amaryllis, a variety of herbs, a whole forest of cut branches, and 55 container plants. If you didn't see this show, you missed something special— Sharon Eliggi and her staging team, plus all the exhibitors, did indeed make the show "Beyond This World". My heart-felt thanks to you all! Before the show started on Friday, members worked for two days setting up the Plant Sale, bringing plants in—many started from seed and others propagated from plants in our own gardens—and naming and pricing them all. Finally our marketing and display specialist Vickie Grey does the final arranging. My friend Mary Reynolds presented me with a foot-tall begonia in a 4-inch pot. She had propagated it from one belonging to Pam Ness and gave it to me "just because". After much research I've found this is a B.'Thurstonii', which was hybridized and registered by English Botanist E.G.H. Thurston in 1887—thereby it is classified as a "heritage begonia." I repotted it into a ceramic pot and placed it on my coffee table where it is admired by all the plant lovers who visit my home. Thank you Mary! I have several other begonias, a few purchased from nurseries, but most are started from cuttings. Begonias are easy to propagate— just cut off some stems, put them in 50-50 mix of perlite and peat moss, or start the stem directly in a rich potting mix. Be patient—it takes time to grow new plants. Begonia 'Thurstonii' I have several types of begonias; the Cane-type—like my Angel Wing which require some sun and no wind. Cane begonias, with names like Lucerne Sophie Cecil, and Irene Nuss come with multicolored leaves with beautiful markings, can grow several feet tall, the blooms are small put attractive. Mine stay indoors or on my side porch in the summer. My new one from Mary is also considered a cane-type. Rhizomatous begonias—including the Rex-type— have bold, distinctively marked, multi-colored leaves. My Rhizomatous- types are 'Beef Steak', 'Seattle Twist', and 'Stained Glass'. Then there are the bedding begonias—B. Semperflorens which are treated as annuals, and the Tuberous begonias which have the 3-4" brightly colored carnation-like flowers. There are several other uncommon types.
