Callirhoe Involucrata
''Callirhoe involucrata'' is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae, mallow family known by the common names purple poppy-mallow, winecupSusan Mahr"Winecups, Callirhoe involucrata."Wisconsin Horticulture, Division of Extension. Retrieved 15 June 2023. and buffalo rose. It is native to the Great Plains of the United States and adjacent areas in northern Mexico. The leaves and stems die back in winter, showing at most a small rosette of green leaves immediately above the root crown. Cultivation The purple poppy-mallow is one of the most faithful plants in production of vivid blankets of colors according to writer Claude A. Barr. Each plant can cover a great deal of ground with masses of its interestingly cut leaves and many wine-crimson cup shaped flowers. In suitably sandy or well draining soils each plant will produce a large parsnip like root. A good water thrifty ground cover.

Cerise (color)
Cerise ( or ; ) is a deep to vivid reddish pink. Etymology The color or name comes from the French language, French word , meaning "cherry".

This date of 1858 as the date of first use of the color name is also mentioned in the 1930 book ''A Dictionary of Color''. However, it was used at least as early as 1845 in a book of crochet patterns. Variations of cerise There are various tones of cerise. Hollywood cerise In the 1950s, a popular brand of colored pencils, Venus Paradise, had a colored pencil called Hollywood cerise which was this color. Before being renamed Hollywood cerise in the 1940s, the color had been known, since its inception in 1922, simply as Hollywood.

Sidalcea Oregana
''Sidalcea oregana'' is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common name Oregon checkerbloom. Distribution It is native to western North America from British Columbia to California to Utah, where it grows in a number of moist habitat types, such as marshes and meadows.

Callirhoe Scabriuscula
''Callirhoe scabriuscula'' is a rare species of flowering plant in the mallow family known as Texas poppy mallow. It is endemic to Texas, where it is known from about ten populations in the deep sands alongside the Colorado River. Much of its habitat has been lost, which is the reason it was federally listed as an endangered species in 1981.USFWSDetermination of ''Callirhoe scabriuscula'' to be an endangered species.''Federal Register'' January 13, 1981. Description This is a perennial herb with an erect stem that may exceed one meter in height. It produces showy cup-shaped flowers in shades of magenta to wine red with a darker red spot at the base of each petal. Flowering occurs for a short period of time during May or June. The flower opens just before dawn and closes at sunset every day for 6 to 8 days. As soon as the flower is pollinated, it closes within 90 minutes and begins to wither.

Violet (color)
Violet is the color of light at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum. It is one of the seven colors that Isaac Newton labeled when dividing the spectrum of visible light in 1672. Violet light has a wavelength between approximately 380 and 450 nanometers. The color's name is derived from the ''Viola'' genus of flowers. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, violet is produced by mixing red and blue light, with more blue than red. In the RYB color model historically used by painters, violet is created with a combination of red and blue pigments and is located between blue and purple on the color wheel. In the CMYK color model used in printing, violet is created with a combination of magenta and cyan pigments, with more magenta than cyan. On the RGB/ CMY( K) color wheel, violet is located between blue and magenta. Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring to the color of different single wav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taproot
A taproot is a large, central, and dominant root from which other roots sprout laterally. Typically a taproot is somewhat straight and very thick, is tapering in shape, and grows directly downward. In some plants, such as the carrot, the taproot is a storage organ so well developed that it has been cultivated as a vegetable. The taproot system contrasts with the adventitious- or fibrous-root system of plants with many branched roots, but many plants that grow a taproot during germination go on to develop branching root structures, although some that rely on the main root for storage may retain the dominant taproot for centuries—for example, ''Welwitschia''. Description Dicots, one of the two divisions of flowering plants (angiosperms), start with a taproot, which is one main root forming from the enlarging radicle of the seed. The tap root can be persistent throughout the life of the plant but is most often replaced later in the plant's development by a fibrous root system. ...
