Hummingbird Bush

Texas Native

Flame Acanthus                

Hummingbird bush, flame acanthus (Anisacanthus quadrifidus var. wrightii) begins blooming in late June through October and is used in dry, sunny climates of the southwestern United States and is beneficial to wildlife and insects

     My west fence row is covered with flame acanthus, turk's cap and further back, in the shade, abelia (for scent and pollinators). The hummingbirds visits the red flowers at about 8:00 - 11:30 every day. The shrub receives morning sun. They are semi-deciduous in hardiness zone 7b/8a.  They lose the majority of their leaves in the winter, but not all the way to te ground. I do not cut back any branches until it has leafed out in the spring. 

I use wire fencing to keep it upright. I use a second wire fence to support the turk's cap, used as a bedding plant lining the front of the flame acanthus. This provides a va-va-voom of red flowers along the fence row in the summer and fall. The flame acanthus is included in TAMU Earth Kind Plant Selector.

Pollinators can be found throughout the day.

PROPAGATION__________________________________

The hummingbird bush flower ceases budding in mid-October and completes it's life cycle by  going to seed.  The fruit is an ovoid capsule containing two to four large flat seeds. The dispersal of seeds is by the wind.  Several plants have propagated in situ at the the base of the current plantings.

As the dehiscent capsule seed pod dries it pops open, revealing two flat, disc-shaped seeds.

Desert Willow | Chilopsis linearis

Chilopsis linearis 'Flor de mimbre'

Chilopsis linearis is considered a very large shrub to small tree, 15-40 ft., slender-twigged, often with leaning, twisting trunk and open, spreading crown found naturally in the streambanks and watercourses.  The leaves are linear, many times longer than wide, with a strong central vein. Leaves are deciduous and willow-like.  Desert-willow (Chilopsis linearis) has long narrow leaves like a true willow (Salix).   Desert-willow grows  in streambanks, river banks or along watercourses in the desert called wadi, wash or arroyo. The desert-willow has adapted to desert washes, and does best with just enough water to keep it blooming and healthily green through the hot months.  The U.S.D.A. map shows it growing naturally in the mountainous  regions of the southwestern states and Mexico.

The blossom is funnel-shaped, 1-2" long, spreading at the opening into five ruffled petal-like scalloped or crenate lobes.. The flowers are irregular in shape with a gradation from light pink to purple with intense purple venation often with white or yellow and purple streaks within the throat. The catalpa-like flowers are born in terminal racemes.

PROPAGATION.                                                        

By early autumn, the violet-scented flowers, which appear after summer rains, are replaced by slender seedpods, 6–10 inches long, which remain dangling from the branches and serve to identify the tree after the flowers are gone.  The seeds are usually highly viable with a high percentage germination rate. If you want to start desert willow from seed try planting a few in the fall, saving a few seeds for spring planting, in case a cold snap freezes the tender seedlings.

Databases Taxonomy Searchable Databases Often, I will write about a plant, just to find, for various reasons, the plant has retained a new scientific name. Generally, if  a change is made it is the genus that bears the change, although the specific epithet can change, also. Now, before submitting an article it is essential to verify the most recent identification for clarity and to avoid confusion.  I have compiled several reputable and authoritative searchable resources for myself and I thought I would share it here for others.  Plant, fungi, and algae names are ruled and voted on by the International Botanical Congress (International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature).  This is a system to organize and to create a worldwide understanding of plant names.  Taxonomy Searchable Databases Professional IAPT International Association of Plant Taxonomy (member only) Professional IAPT International Association of Plant Taxonomy (Instagram) Professional IABMS International Association of Botanical and Mycological Societies Professional TAXON Journal CoL Species 2000 Catalog of Life ITIS Integrated Taxonomic Information System (USGS and Smithsonian EoL Encyclopedia of Life BONAP Biota of North America BONAP Biota of North America GDIF Global Diversity Information Facility USDA United States Department of Agriculture Plants Database LJWC Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Native Plant Database TAMU Texas A and M University iNat California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society GSPC Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) WFO World Flora Online (WFO) MBG Missouri Botanical Garden NYBG The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) RBGE The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) RBG Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew SEINet (includes) SW Biodivirsity Consortium of Midwest Herbaria Consortium of Southern Rocky Mountain Herbaria Intermountain Regional Herbarium Network Madrean Discovery Expeditions (MDE) Mid-Atlantic Herbaria Consortium North American Network of Small Herbaria North Great Plains Herbaria Red de Herbarios del Noroeste de México (northern Mexico) SERNEC (Southeast USA) Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria (TORCH)
