Sedum

Sedum (Sedum spp.), or stonecrop, is a resilient succulent that consists of about 400 species that can grow pink, white, red or yellow, butterfly-attracting, star-shaped flowers. Although some varieties can thrive in warmer zones, most are hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9. Because these zones can experience sometimes unexpected cold temperatures and frost, knowing which type of stonecrop to grow is essential to your success. (See References 1 and 2) About

Live forevers (sedum purpureum) are incredibly useful to organisms. The live-forever (sedum purpureum) is a plant native to the continent of Eurasia, and thus could possibly be a dangerous invasive species, which may cause a problem in other natural ecosystems. The live-forever (sedum purpurem) is mostly grown in the northeastern states where it can withstand the harsh temperatures of winter and summer. In this essay i will go further into depth of the biome the life forever is mostly found in, its

more people will see and dislike this sterile wasteland. The popular alternative to the sterile roof is the sedum roof, which new buildings often have. Since they are cheap and light, most of the city’s flat roofs could be treated in this way. The sedum is a plant with an amazing tolerance extreme draught, hence its common name: stone crop: the plant which crops when sitting around stones. Sedum roofs are good for bees, spiders, managing rain water, insulation, and very good for protecting waterproof

A green roof is a layered system, partially or completely covering the roof area and with the vegetation being planted directly in the soil media (Stewart, 2013). It is important to have a good understanding about the type of vegetated roofs and their maintenance as a facility manager. This combination of natural and man-made facility is expanding at a dynamic pace and proves to be beneficial in providing sustainability. All the basic stratigraphic composition remaining the same, green roofs can

experimentally determine the rate constant(k), for the rate of the reaction of the crystal violet solution and sodium hydroxide. To start, a Beers Law calibration experiment was conduction. Also, two kinetic experiments were ran using both 5ml and 10ml of sedum hydroxide in order to determine the reaction order(k^1), of the sodium hydroxide. The Beers Law calibration experiment used many concentrations of crystal violet solutions. Each of these solutions were test and analyzed in order to determine the

The deciduous forests of West Virginia, like all ecosystems, are diverse homes to numerous organisms interacting with each other. West Virginia University’s Core Arboretum provides a good representation of this diversity, providing a wide spectrum of interspecies interaction. For example, when the upper canopy of a forest grows its leaves it absorbs more sunlight, leaving the plants closer to the forest floor with about 2% of the emitted sunlight. To adapt to this, species will flower in a small

to identify which bioswale plant components are most efficient in accomplishing the filtration and reduction of stormwater runoff pollutants. To understand which bioswale contents work best we compared native plant (Oxalis oregana, Fragaria vesca, Sedum spathulifolium, and Lupinus latifolius) and non-native plant (Galium odoratum, Aegopodium podagraria ‘Variegatum, Lamium maculatum and Aureomarginata) species. Additionally, we hope to analyze pollutant filtration; we examined the counts of the nutrients:

Records show that the practice of grafting is an ancient one, dating back well before the time of Christ It was once believed that any plant could be grafted on any other. This probably arose from observations made in tropical areas where seeds sometimes lodged in the cleft of a tree where seeds germinated and grew in the organic matter that had accumulated there. However, today, we know that only very closely related plants are capable of being grafted. Many forms of grafting are practiced, and

Chey’s English Essay Due September 21st Hello there! You might be thinking, “just because the internet says food is healthy it is”. Well think again, because it really may not be. In this essay I will inform about what foods people should avoid though they may seem healthy, and which foods are best for people to eat. Most people think fruit is healthy, but surprisingly, it isn’t. If you can believe it, fruit is very unhealthy. It has tons of sugars and fats in it. Fruits are just

Planning is part of the fun of your kitchen garden. Long before the ground is ready to warm the seeds, gardeners are perusing seed catalogs, making wish lists and wondering how in the world they will find room for everything they want to grow. One of best seed catalogs I've come across and certainly one of the more enjoyable catalogs for reading and dreaming of spring is John Scheeper's Kitchen Garden Seeds™. The 2010 catalog is packed with seed varieties for almost every type of vegetable - maybe
