April 2010 talk by Roy Lancaster


	ABBOTS LANGLEY GARDENING SOCIETY ( ALGS )


April Talk Instead of the usual meeting in the village during April, many of us went to a lecture given by Roy Lancaster at Rothamsted Research Centre. Roy is a well know broadcster and talked about April in England. He had many fine slides of flowering trees, shrubs and herbacious plants. His greatest love is flowering trees, he is very friendly and the evening was a great success. For those who went here is the list of plants Roy spoke about in talk "April in England" Lecture notes by Roy Lancaster for Celebrity Lecture to the Herts & Beds Group, Plant Heritage, 15 April 2010 Plant List – Trees Magnolia cylindrica Magnolia ‘’Pegasus’ (cylindrica x denudata) Magnolia ‘ Star Wars’ Magnolia x loebneri Leonard Messel ( kobus x stellata) Magnolia liliiflora ‘Nigra’ Magnolia ‘Ann’ Magnolia ‘Betty’ Magnolia x soulangeana ‘Rustica Rubra’ Magnolia stellata Magnolia campbellii var mollicomata ‘‘Lanarth’ Magnolia campbellii var mollicomata ‘Borde Hill’ Magnolia laevifolia ( Michelia yunnanensis) Malus ‘Aldenhamensis’ Malus transitoria Prunus ‘The Bride’ Prunus subhirtella ‘Stellata’ Prunus padus ‘Colorata’ Prunus x yedoensis Plant list - Shrubs Pieris formosa var. forrestii Photinia glabra ‘’Red Robin’ Sophora microphylla Sophora ‘Sun King’ Acacia pravissima Prunus tomentosa Parrotiopsis jacquemontiana Osmanthus delavayi Mahonia nervosa Mahonia aquifolium ‘Apollo’ Camellia ‘Anticipation’ Camellia ‘Brigadoon Camellia japonica ‘’Midnight Serenade’ Camellia japonica ‘Deep Secret’ Camellia x williamsii ‘Freedom Bell’ Camellia ‘Spring Festival’ Rubus spectabilis ‘Olympic Double Rubus rosifolius ‘Coronarius’ Rhododendron augustinii Rhododendron wardii Plant List – Climbers Clematis x cartmanii ‘Avalanche’ Clematis armandii ‘Snowdrift’ Clematis gracilifolia Plant List – Perennials Bergenia emeiensis Epimedium x cantabrigiense Epimedium x warleyense Epimedium x grandiflorum ‘White Queen’ Epimedium davidii Epimedium acuminatum Epimedium acuminatum ‘Galaxy’ Epimedium stellulatum Wudang Star’ Epimedium epsteinii Epimedium fargesii Pachyphragma macrophyllum Erodium trifolium (incorrectly E. pelargoniifolium) Euphorbia characias ssp wulfenii Euphorbia rigida Erythronium ‘Pagoda’ Erythronium ‘White Beauty’ Endymion non-scriptum (bracteose form) Arisaema sikokianum Corydalis flexuosa Corydalis cheilanthifolia Chrysosplenium macrophyllum Chrysosplenium davidii Cardamine heptaphylla Anemone ranunculoides ‘ Pleniflora’ Anemonella thalictroides ‘Oscar Schoaf’ Lathraea clandestina Back to home page
