GARDEN TRIPOD Horticultural Science, Technology & Art Welcome to our 26th edition of the Garden Tripod.

Well its Mount Wilson’s Exhibition time again .. how this year has flown ! Last year we were all glued to the news reports with fingers crossed that Mount Wilson and its peoples were ok, as fire raged through this community. It is slightly ironic that the exhibition is to raise funds for the fire service in the area !

!

The Garden Tripod would like to wish the Mount Wilson exhibition team the very best for this years exhibition. If your in the area then do please visit and give your support for this wonderful exhibition. We also have a special feature of images from Philip Johnson, who is one of the organisers of the Mount Wilson art exhibition.

!

The Garden Tripod also would like you to take a look at a fantastic new project that João Figueiredo has embarked on, it a new quarterly magazine published called Northern Landscape. This has a brand new web site at www.northernlandscape.org and it looks amazing. João is a regular in the Garden Tripod, some of you may remember his Änglar exhibition some two years ago featured in the Garden Tripod. We hope to be running an advertisement for the Northern Landscape in every issue and keep you up to date with the magazines as they are published.

!

Opposite Seasons come to mind as Australia is entering into spring as here in Scotland we have the cold nip of autumn. Katie has sent some fantastic images of the colours of spring time in her regular Culture of Plants series.

!

In this edition we have a great selection of garden sheds from across the world.

The results are in and votes counted we have joint winners … see if you can spot the winners before you get to the results page ..

!

As always we are including real text, so grammatical errors and spelling mistakes are all included free of charge

A little word from our

Office News Hound Hi Folks ..

!

I am officially the office dog for the Garden Tripod Magazine.

Cannot say how thrilled I was to see this amazing photograph from our very own Office Temp Nicole W. I often see these in my garden along with the frogs and toads, but have not been able to play with them as I am told that I play to ruff !!

!

According to the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (and I quote)

!

‘Lizards are reptiles.

Together with snakes, they make up the order Squamata.

There are about 6,000 species,which live all over the world, except in cold climates. They range across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. One type, the marine iguana, lives in the sea. Size varies greatly, ranging from 5 inches to the Komodo dragon's 9 feet and 150 pounds.’

!

Life is amazing .. and to capture a split second of life in the click of a camera button is .. well even more amazing !

I bet I would be allowed to play with the big Komodo dragon .. but as he's 9ft long think I would give him a miss.

!

Walkway of Colour

As the Northern Hemispere turns to Spring the Southern Hemisphere turns to autumn. This shot was taken in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in the township of Mount Wilson. The colours when I visited were great , but with the climate conditions that we are experiencing the colours do not last long.

The natural patterns of autumn, highlighted by the sunlight.

!

This is a private garden of 12 Acres that is one of the many opened up to the public in autumn and spring.

!

There is no colour manipulation here it is a good example of what effect pure HDR has on autumn colours, what is brighter to the human eye is emphasised when opened to High Dynamic Range (HDR) Equipment: Nikon D300 Sigma 10-20mm lens

Technique: 5 Bracketted exposures then processed using Photomatix with a slight adjustment to focus in Capture NX. The colours emphasised by the layering process of HDR

Govetts Leap lookout has one of my favourite views in the mountains, I could sit for hours just watching the liht and shadow pass through the valley and gorge. It’s like looking into the Grand Canyon and its full of trees !.

!

The Blue Mountains are a must when visiting Sydney, although it can be visited on day tours from Sydney, to really take in the experience go up there and stay a few days, there is lots to see and experience .

!

Technique: • • • • • • • • •

Step 1 -HDR Panorama image comprising 45 Raw exposures (15 mb each) shot in brackets of 5. (9 Brackets Total =45 exposures), Step 2. Take the first bracket of 5 exposures and import into Photomatix, tonemap the 5 exposures to form 1 Tiff image of 35mb.

Step 3 Repeat step 2 , 8 times to create a total of 9 tiff images at 35mb’s each Step 4 Take all 9 tiff files and import into photoshop and perform a Panoramic Merge to create one 400mb Panoramic Tiff File.

Hill End NSW In October 1872 the Star of Hope Gold Mining Co. uncovered what was, at the time, the world’s largest specimen of reef gold. ’Holtermann’s Nugget’, as it was known, weighed 286 kg and measured 150 cm by 66 cm with an average thickness of 10 cm. That week alone, over 700 kilograms of gold were carted away from Hill End by the gold escort. In all the amount of gold extracted at Hill End was greater than any goldfield in NSW other than Canbelego

Garden Shed - Churchill Island Historic Gardens

by Marilyn Harris Churchill Island Heritage Farm covers 57 hectares and boasts an historic working farm with ‘hands on’ farming demonstrations reminiscent of a bygone era. Sheep shearing, cow milking, blacksmithing and working dog demonstrations.

Churchill Island Heritage Farm has been continuously farmed and in 1872 when Samuel Amess, former Mayor of Melbourne, purchased the island for both holiday and farming use, he built a substantial house and outbuildings. The historical buildings and remnants of historical gardens are now a draw-card for tens of thousands of visitors a year.

About

Fay270

I am Fay! Photographer, artist, colorist, published writer, fiber artist; knitter, weaver, sewer.

I have been involved with art and photography for many years. A few years ago I discovered the miracle of digital photography. I began incorporating digital enhancements in my work, and since then I have been able to obtain some very creative and interesting effects. It is a never-ending journey of the heart and mind.

I especially like this quotation, which I feel expresses my deepest feelings regarding photography and art ~ “Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.” Arnold Newman.

Opposite Seasons !http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/aboutseasons.html Seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. For example, the March equinox, also popularly known as the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, marks the start of spring in the northern hemisphere but the start of autumn in the southern hemisphere. The same rule applies for the other three seasons.

The Culture of Plants Katie Freeth

Colour As plants awaken in response to the warm caress of Spring, suddenly Nature burgeons with a colour palette whose diversity astonishes every year.

!

In a country such as Australia, where often the windows of opportunity for pollination are limited due to climatic vagaries, wild colours are especially vibrant typically demonstrated by the reds and oranges of the bottle brushes (Callistemon spp.) and the yellows of the wattles (Acacia spp.)

!

Add to these the colours of the garden exotics from around the world, enjoyed and planted here by the multi-cultural population, and the sensory impact is truly stunning.

!

In amongst all the bright hues, let us not forget one of the primaries – namely green. I don’t know about fifty shades of grey or even the accuracy of the forty shades of green but certainly one five letter word seems inadequate to describe the rich tonality of the variation in, for example, young tree foliage, new grasses and glossy evergreens.

!

We can then add to the green the rich redgold of new shrub growth and the picture is richer by the minute.

!

But what is all this colour for? Certainly not merely to please the human eye! Most of the angiosperms around the globe rely on third party pollination – wind; insects; other animals all play apart and the plant may then reproduce itself by creating viable seed.

Pollination insects seek out the nectar produced in the plant flowers – the ultimate reward for pollination services! The plants use their colour to shout “here I am; get your nectar here”!

Many even have “insect pathways” in the design patterns on each flower and these guide the pollinators to collect the nectar reward.

!

Sadly blooms do not linger long; their job done following a pollinator’s visit, colour quickly fades as petals shrivel and die, making way for the ripening embryo.

!

The cycle is complete!

Acacia mearnsii

Acacia mearnsii is a fast-growing, extremely invasive leguminous tree native to Australia. Common names for it include black wattle, Acácianegra (Portuguese), Australian acacia, Australische Akazie (German), Swartwattel (Afrikaans), Uwatela (Zulu).

!

This plant is now known as one of the

!

worst invasive species in the world.

A. mearnsii is native to South-eastern Australia and Tasmania, but has been introduced to North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, Africa, and New Zealand.

Forest & Kim Starr - Plants of Hawaii, Acacia mearnsii Seed Pods

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_mearnsii

Acacia mearnsii (seedpods). Location: Maui, Waiale Gulch

It has been introduced to numerous parts of the world, and in those areas is often used as a commercial source of tannin or a source of firewood for local communities. In areas where it has been introduced, it is often considered a weed, and is seen as threatening native habitats by competing with indigenous vegetation, replacing grass communities, reducing native biodiversity and increasing water loss from riparian zones. Found in tropical rain forests.

In its native range A. mearnsii is a tree of tall woodland and forests in subtropical and warm temperate regions. In Africa the species grows in disturbed areas, range/grasslands, riparian zones, urban areas, water courses, and mesic habitats at an altitude of between 600-1700m. In Africa it grows in a range of climates including warm temperate dry climates and moist tropical climates. A. mearnsii is reported to tolerate an annual precipitation of between 6.6 – 22.8 dm, an annual mean temperature of 14.7 – 27.8 °C, and a pH of 5.0 – 7.2. A. mearnsii does not grow well on very dry and poor soils.

Taxonomy Émile Auguste Joseph De Wildeman described the black wattle in 1925.

The species is named after American naturalist Edgar Alexander Mearns, who collected the type from a cultivated specimen in East Africa. Along with other bipinnate wattles, it is classified in the section Botrycephalae within the subgenus Phyllodineae in the genus Acacia. An analysis of genomic and chloroplast DNA along with morphological characters found that the section is polyphyletic, though the close relationships of many species were unable to be resolved. Acacia mearnsii appears to be most closely related to A. dealbata, A. nanodealbata and A. baileyana.

Ecology A. mearnsii plays an important role in the ecosystem in its native Australia.

As a pioneer plant it quickly binds the erosion-prone soil following the bush-fires that are common in its Australian habitats. Like other leguminous plants, it fixes the atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. Other woodland species can rapidly utilise these increased nitrogen levels provided by the nodules of bacteria present in their expansive root systems. Hence they play a critical part in the natural regeneration of Australian bushland after fires.

Acacia mearnsii Seed Pods •

Consumption and excretion: The seeds are potentially distributed by rodents or birds.

•

For ornamental purposes (local)

•

By animals: The dispersal of the seeds of A . mearnsii is believed to be aided by cattle and birds.

•

By people: Local people collecting branches and logs for firewood may spread seeds.

•

Transportation of soil: The seeds may also be spread by the movement of seed-contaminated soil.

•

By water: The hard-coated seeds are spread readily down water courses.

Mycorrhizal fungi attach to the roots to produce food for marsupial animals, and these animals in turn disperse the spores in their droppings to perpetuates the symbiotic relationship between wattle's roots and the mycorrhizal fungi.

The cracks and crevices in the wattle's bark are home for many insects and invertebrates. The rare Tasmanian Hair Streak Butterfly lays her eggs in these cracks, which hatch to produce caterpillar larva attended by ants (Indomyrmex sp.) that feed off the sweet exudates from the larva.

The tree is home to various grubs, such as wood moths, which provide a food source to the Australian Black cockatoos, who strip the bark for access to these borers.

During winter insects, birds and marsupials are hosted by the black wattle with the aid of their supplies of nectar in their leaf axials. These creatures provide an important predatory role to deal with tree die back caused by scarab beetles and pasture pests.

Black wattles, along with gums, native box, native hop form the framework vegetation on so-called "Hill-topping" sites. They are often isolated remnant pockets of native vegetation amongst a lower sea of exotic pasture. These "Hill topping" sites are critical habitat for male butterflies to attract females for mating, which then lay their eggs under the wattle's bark elsewhere but still within close proximity. It's the only acceptable mating site in the area for these butterflies.

Black wattle flowers provide very nitrogen rich pollen with no nectar. They attract pollen-feeding birds such as our Wattle Birds, Yellow Throated Honey Eaters and New Holland Honey Eaters. The protein rich nectar in the leaf axials is very sustaining for nurturing the growth of juvenile nestlings and young invertebrates, e.g. ants.

Ants harvest the seed, attracted by the fleshy, oil rich elaiosome (or seed stalk), which they bury and store in widely dispersed locations. These seeds are buried ready for germinating with the next soaking rains. However a "wattle seed-eating insect' which enjoys liquid meals using its proboscis-like injector to pierce the testa and suck out the embryo often reduces the seeds viability.

About

Hi, I am Maree Clarkson, Artist, Nature Student, gardener and bird-lover.

I am a watercolour artist, taking inspiration for my art from nature.

My inspiration is easily stimulated – a certain shape, an interesting line or shadow, a beautiful colour, the curve of a leaf as it gently sways in the wind, something somebody says or a song, a pebble as it lays half covered by sand on the beach… the beauty of nature far surpasses anything man-made, and I can only but try to represent it as I see it.

I live on my little piece of African soil, an 8.5ha smallholding in Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa, which is situated on the border of The Cradle of Humankind. I’m passionate about sketching and painting, animals, birds, nature, Moleskine note books, the beach, crystals, useless information, technology, blogging, networking, my MAC, my Land Rover, positivity, gardening and discovering anything new in life.

I am constantly exploring my creativity, overcoming my fears in the process, trying new things and having a great journey along the way! More often than not, artists are MUCH too serious about their art, not willing to take a chance, not willing to fail, not willing to explore. To me, art must be, above all else, a passion and fun. And to me it is important to paint EVERY DAY, sometimes doing 3 or 4 pieces a day, or else I get grumpy and not easy to live with then.

The rest of my time I spend looking after sick or rescued birds and other animals. I am not an activist and I didn’t ask for the job, but I am honoured that they seem to seek me out. Spending a lot of time in Nature means experiencing the beauty, and also the pain, of Mother Earth and it is my privilege to try and reduce my carbon footprint as much as possible and to live within the laws of Nature, conserving, preserving and not harming.

I’m non-judgemental, I smoke, I bite my nails and I accept people as they are.

I like everybody until they give me reason not to and I’m the easiest person on this earth to get along with.

“There is a fine line between dreams and reality; it’s up to you to draw it!”

Have a great day and thank you for visiting my profile and remember : “Happiness is a way of travel, and not a destination!”
