About Me
- Hawthorn Hill
- This blog is the work of Craig N. Huegel, PhD. I am an environmental consultant and educator who loves plants. Though formally educated as a wildlife biologist, I am an enthusiastic gardener and have studied and worked with plants my entire life. I currently serve as the Director of the University of South Florida Botanical Gardens. Prior to this I taught in the Baccalaureate Biology Program at St. Petersburg College. I have written six books on Florida native plants - the most recent four with the University of Florida Press and I lecture throughout the state on a variety of topics related to plants and wildlife. I use my central Florida landscapes as laboratories to evaluate native plants and we grow a wide variety of species (mostly wildflowers) that are not commonly propagated elsewhere.in order to give us hands-on experience. Hawthorn Hill is not a retail plant nursery, but twice a year, I open my yard to public tours and make my extra plants available to the public. If you are interested in what I am currently growing, please email me for my current list at huegelc55@aol.com or give me a call at (727) 422-6583.
Interesting plant. Our Ontario Provincial ministry responsible for rare species tracks this one. It turns out that "Most Ontario reports of T. barbinode appear to be T. chapmanii species (B. Wofford, pers. comm.), though material from Niagara R.M. appears to be T. barbinode". T. barbinode is described here as a "southern and eastern" plant, and it is not common at all in the Ottawa Valley.
ReplyDeleteInteresting - thanks for sharing this. As you can see, it is at its very southernmost part of its range in north Florida. Where I'm growing it in my yard is several hundred miles south of its natural range.
