Antirrhinum

With today's free seeds - a bedding mix, plus rudbeckia, aster, poppy and antirrhinum - you can make sure your garden is full of colour this summer.

And for a threesome then introduce Antirrhinum "Black Prince".

At this time of year the list is endless but favourites such as antirrhinum, marigolds and dahlia, along with sweet peas, are always popular and easy to grow.

The six packets of summer flowering seeds will include such varieties as the daisy-like Calendula, ever popular Antirrhinum, the beatiful 'pincushion' flowering Ageratum, red lobelia, the tobacco plant Nicotiana, Sweet Peas and Mixed Annuals.

In contrast, photosynthetic activity is evident for both Antirrhinum and Pedicularis, with levels of [CO.

Its main products are basil, coriander, chives and flat parsley, but increasing public interest in cookery has led to the development of exotic varieties such as garlic chives, roccolla or wild rocket, red mustard and chard, lemon grass, edible courgette, and nasturtium, pansy and antirrhinum flowers.

The Antirrhinum system provides a unique opportunity to test these ideas because it has both well-characterized self-incompatibility and flower colour variation.

Off to the garden centre I went and made a choice of species, including calendula, antirrhinum, poppies, cornflowers, poached egg plant (limnanthes), cosmos, nasturtium, scabious, comfrey and flowering meadow grasses.

The nurseries are filled with hundred of flowers like Chambeli (jasmine), motia (another jasmine variety), champa (plumeria), raat ki rani (cestrum), roses, nargis and the less-known din ka raja (cestrum diurnum), petunia antirrhinum, calendula, dog flowers and many other flowering and non-flowering plants.

The variety of flowers included Acroclinium, Anchusa, Ageratum, Aster, Alyssum, Antirrhinum, Annual Chrysanthemum, Calendula, Candytuft, Corn Flower, Cineraria, Clarkia, Dianthus, Dimorphotheca, English Daisy, Gazania, Godetia, Gypsophila, Gamolepis, Helichrysum,.

Q My local garden centre has antirrhinum and dianthus in flower now.

A variety of flowers including Marigold (tagetes), Antirrhinum, Pentunia (Double shade), Dianthus, bulbous Plants, Fersia, Ranuculus,Calendula, Acroclinium, Statice were creatively used for decorating bouquets, hair clips and other accessories displayed in the ceremony.

A This is antirrhinum rust which is specific to this plant.

Two flower varieties were tested for rust - which weakens plants as they show symptoms of powdery orange, yellow, brown or black spots on the leaves - the antirrhinum 'Rust Resistant Mixed' and non-resistant 'Liberty', and the hollyhocks 'Antwerp', which claims resistance, and 'Pastorale', which doesn't.

Other friendly plants include antirrhinum, aquilegia, clematis, campanula, delphinium, geum, impatiens, mimulus, nigella, viola and vitis.
