Art TechniquesPLANT AND FLORAL STUDIES for Artists and Craftspeople
IN a pyramidal cluster at the summit of a round, erect stem, growing three to four feet high, are the large flowers and buds; their stalks, springing from a whorl of leaves, below which is a space of three or four inches, then the leaves commence, evenly distributed round the stem, and continue to the ground ; are lance-shaped, with a smooth, clean edge. FLOWERS. Yellow, opening from three and a half to four inches across, consisting of six spatulate petals, each narrowed at its base into a short grooved claw, six stamens and one club-shaped stigma.
PLACE. A well-known old garden plant.
TIME. JulyâAugust.
THIS Dahlia grows from seven to eight feet high ; it is very bushy owing to the much branched stems. The numerous oval leaves, tapering to the point, are serrated, roughish beneath, and a good rich green ; placed on long, slightly winged stalks. FLOWERS. Have a spreading outer involucre and a grainy receptacle. The reflexed sepals are an interesting and important feature, particularly marked on the bud forms. The flower having many irregular petals, is not unlike a chrysanthemum; there is, however, great variety amongst them, both in form and colour. This Dahlia was a deep scarlet.
PLACE. A native of Mexico, where it flourishes in sandy tracts at a height of 5,000 feet above the sea level. It thrives in our gardens in this country. TIME. July, until late in the Autumn.
HAS a strong, branched, slightly-ribbed stem. The leaves are large, single, wavy, and oval, tapering a little towards the. point. The flower-stalk springs from the leaf-stalk joint, which is neatly clothed with an arrow-shaped stipule. The lower ones are toothed and wrap round the stem, forming a sheath.
FLOWERS are white with large black marks on the inside petals, butterfly-shaped, composed of a standard petal, with wings and ridge petals partly covering. The long tubular calyx four or five toothed. Fruit in large pod.
PLACE. Common in every kitchen garden in this country.
TIME. Flowers JulyâAugust.
THE round, straight, herbaceous stem growing from two to three feet high, has many branches. The leaves are very unequal both in size and shape, alternating with the large couples are very minute ones. Ancient writers described the leaf-stem, with the various leaves attached, as: âA great leaf made of divers leaves, some smaller, and others greater, set together on a fat mid-rib in couples â ; of a fresh green colour. From the base of the leaf come forth large, round, slender footstalks upon which grow the light blossom.
FLOWERS. Composed of an entire white leaf, cleft deeply in five places, with a crimped edge. A pale green stripe or fold down the centre of each petal-shaped piece, and in the middle of the flower stands a yellow five ribbed elliptical form, out of which projects a small sharp green spike. The flowers cluster five or six together on separate stalks.
PLACE. Brought from Peru in 1597; common in every kitchen garden in this country.
TIME. Flowers JuneâAugust.
THE vigorous growth and energy of this plant is most refreshing. It is full of valuable suggestions to the art-worker. The strongly ribbed, angular stem, pushing its way along the ground with determined twists, has, at irregular intervals, an erect leaf stalk, with flower stalk, tendril, and frequently two bracts shooting up together; the leaves are large, rough, and deeply cut into five lobes, with a strongly-serrated edge: the young leaves are considerably smaller, but in form much the same as ...
