2A – Daily News – Thursday, August 19, 2010 Community people&events Rosser runs in queen contest Heat loving blanket flowers By CATHY WILSON I recently had a friend come and visit from Napa, California where they are experiencing an unusually cool, foggy summer. She came long- ing for some warm sun- shine and milder tempera- tures. Los Molinos pro- vided both. For those of us who live here, the hot, dry climate is not always welcome. Like my friend, Blanket flowers also long for warm, sunny areas to grow. In fact they thrive in extremely hot, dry areas. There is no better Courtesy photo Kayla Rosser, 16, of Red Bluff is running for Red Bluff Jr. Round-Up Senior Queen. She is the daughter of Kevin and Wendy Rosser and will be a junior at Red Bluff Union High School. She rides an American paint named Sydney. Rosser’s favorite horse event is barrel racing and she wants to become a registered nurse and work with horses. SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 A program of Tehama County Neighborhood Watch Program, Inc.

Native plant The native plant soci- ety has the following events in September: General Meeting Thursday, Sept. 2 at 7:30 p.m., Chico Branch of the Butte County Library flower to grow than a blanket flower. Its bright and cheery flowers bring delight to all that see them. They are actually known as Gaillarda and nicknamed the blanket flower by the first Euro- peans to settle the frontier. Upon seeing fields of the bright red flowers edged in yellow, reminded them of the Indian blankets that they had seen. Blanket flowers are reliable, long blooming plants for hot sunny gar- dens producing single or double daisy flowers. They bloom through most of the summer well into fall. They boast bright multi colors of with yel- lows, reds and oranges. They tolerate light frost and are seldom eaten by deer due to their hairy stems and leaves. Dead- head them frequently to keep them blooming con- sistently. Be sure that they are well drained. I recently bought a brand new variety called ’Mesa Yellow’. It is only a single color which is unusual in itself. It is a very vibrant yellow. It is supposed to be extremely vigorous with early flow- ering. It has become pop- ular because it is known to deliver more flowers than any other previous variety. The plant has strong upright branches and maintains a con- trolled height holding its’ flowers upright. It main- tains its intense coloring with no fading during the scorching sun. Call me for further info at 384-1913. Good companions for these plants include core- opsis, veronica with upright purple flowers and sage with silver-green leaves and purple spikes. Actually they mix well with most any sun loving plants and provide a gai- ety of color. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The next program is at 12:45 p.m. on Tues- day, Aug. 31. It will be ‘Iris, Care and Unusual species’ by Lorna Bonham. For more information, see our web page at red- bluffgardenclub.net or call Tina at 529-0565.

Outing to Green Island Lake Meet at the Chico Park & Ride (Hwy 32/99) west lot at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 5, with hiking gear, lunch, water and money for ridesharing. We'll see many California asters as we hike 1 1/2 miles, first down to Soda Creek and then up 400 feet to a beautiful little lake with a unique floating sedge island. The lake is rimmed with huckleber- ries, Potentilla palustris and buckbean. Feeding it is a delightful cold spring lined with yellow monkey flowers. Cali- fornia fuchsia is usually still in flower along the trail to Saucer Lake (1 mile). On the way back we'll stop at tiny Frog Lake, which also has a small floating island. We have seen pileated woodpeckers on this walk but cannot promise them. Call leader for alternate meeting site. Wes 342-2993.

Satin lupine, California aster, arnica, and angelica should still be in bloom.
