Getting ready for winter in the Southwest is a little different than it is in most parts of the country. Rather than making sure the snow blower is finely tuned-up and running, our volunteers spend the first week of December folding, filling and lighting over 3,000 traditional luminaria bags in preparation for Luminaria Nights. Instead of watching a blanket of snow cover our garden, we’re waiting for the winter blooms of Lachenalias and its full spectrum color palette to liven up our garden beds. It’s also time to check that drip irrigation, deep soak trees, and prune and plant cool season herbs and veggies. Sounds like a lot of work doesn’t it? Check out our Director of Horticulture Michael Chamberland’s article on winter bulbs and the seasonal gardening guide – we work hard to make it easy for you to remember winter gardening tasks.

Winter is also a time for planning: I’m heading off to New York to see the New York Botanic Gardens exhibit, “The Garden and Art of Frida Kahlo”. While there, I’ll be working with the programming and exhibition staff in planning the exhibits tour to the Tucson Botanical Gardens! We are honored to be chosen to host this special exhibit in fall of 2016.

As we end 2015 and welcome 2016, all of us at the Tucson Botanical Gardens wish you and yours a year filled with health, happiness, and as always… great gardening!

“The garden historically, is the place where all the senses are exploited. Not just the eye, but the ear – with water, with birds. And there is texture, too, in plants you long to touch.”

WINTER

—William Howard Adams


Lovely Lachenalias

By Michael Chamberland, Tucson Botanical Gardens Director of Horticulture

Winter is a time with a scarcity of flowers. Cold weather and dim sunlight slow the metabolism of plants, leaving little to expend on floral extravagance. Insects also are slow and few, not offering a wealth of pollination opportunities. Bulbs have a strategy to get a jump on spring. These plants store energy during the growing season in their subterranean bulbs. When the first hints of spring are detected, these bulb plants mobilize their energy to send up a flower display. Ideally this occurs with the first warm afternoons of spring, when the earliest insects are also active.

Given the fickle nature of spring weather, it makes sense that many bulb plants are cold tolerant with flowers that will take a bit of frost. Commonly cultivated bulbs such as daffodils and tulips fit this description. But a wealth of lesser known bulbs exists. Many of these are from South Africa. Most are lesser known because they have not developed much cold tolerance in southern Africa’s mild climate. These are bulbs you will not find planted in temperate regions, but for southern Arizona, they offer possibilities.

Some of the best winter blooming bulbs for southern Arizona are from the genus Lachenalia. These are petite plants, with few species likely to reach a foot in height. The flowers too are small, but offered in bunches along the flower stalk. The wealth of colors is extraordinary.

Lachenalia aloides var. quadricolor produces flowers zoned with orange, yellow, burgundy and a touch of green. This is one of the best species and also one of the most available. Lachenalia viridiflora makes flowers in an odd turquoise-green color. Some species like

L. zebrina are notable for the dark spots and striations on the leaves. Flowers in yellow, purple, white, orange and red can be found among the 110 species.

Lachenalia can take a bit of searching to find. Many can be purchased through mail order. Bulbs travel well by mail when they are in the dormant state. In Tucson you may find Lachenalia sold by some cactus and succulent nurseries. Occasionally the plants will show up at big box stores.

Southern Africa has a variety of climate zones. Lachenalia originate from areas of winter rainfall. Water the plants regularly in winter and give them plenty of sun. Later in spring the leaves wither and the plants appear “dead”. This is

natural dormancy which lasts half the year. During this time the plant can be ignored and no watering is required. Too much wetness may rot the bulbs. Plant them in well-drained cactus soil. Lachenalia are best grown in pots, and if they are happy the bulbs will proliferate. The bulbs should be divided up and given space to promote flowering. To protect against inadvertent watering and monsoon rains, you may wish to bring the potted bulbs indoors and place them in an out-of-the way corner until fall, when watering and sun will revive the dormant bulbs.

FEBRUARY

• Prune dormant trees if needed

• Don’t prune spring-flowering plants until after their blooming cycle ends

• Fertilize flowering perennials such as iris and roses

• Fertilize citrus around Valentine’s Day, and again near Memorial Day and Labor Day

Approximately 300 to 400 butterflies fly freely on any given day and over 120 different varieties of butterflies make their way to the greenhouse throughout the eight month long exhibit. During the winter months guests can expect to see butterflies from Africa, Asia and Malaysia. Don’t forget to visit the chrysalis exhibit next to the greenhouse where the butterfly pupae can emerge right before guests’ eyes. This season some new and exciting changes have come to the exhibit. The Butterfly Magic staff has been working to incubate eggs laid by the dart frogs and it’s paying off! Several eggs have already hatched and the tadpoles are growing quickly. We’ll be adding the new dart frogs to the exhibit over the next couple of months. The chrysalis exhibit has also been outfitted with new equipment to produce optimal temperatures and humidity levels for the pupae, resulting in a faster and more natural emergence process.
