Uru JPop : Freesia [Limited Edition / Period Production]

Freesia is a genus of herbaceous perennial flowering crops in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1866 by Chr. Fr. Echlon (1795-1868) and known as after German botanist and doctor Friedrich Freese (1794-1878). It really is indigenous to the eastern part of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most kinds being within Cape Provinces. Species of the past genus Anomatheca are now included in Freesia. The vegetation commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped blooms, are cultivated hybrids of lots of Freesia kinds. Some other species are also grown up as ornamental plant life.

They can be herbaceous plants which grow from a conical corm 1-2.5 cm diameter, which directs up a tuft of thin leaves 10-30 cm long, and a sparsely branched stem 10-40 cm tall bearing a few leaves and a loose one-sided spike of plants with six tepals. Many kinds have fragrant narrowly funnel-shaped blossoms, although those previously placed in the genus Anomatheca, such as F. laxa, have level flowers. Freesias are used as food plant life by the larvae of some Lepidoptera varieties including Large Yellow Underwing.

CULTIVATION AND USES

The crops usually called "freesias" derive from crosses made in the 19th hundred years between F. refracta and F. leichtlinii. Numerous cultivars have been bred from these kinds and the red- and yellow-flowered kinds of F. corymbosa. Modern tetraploid cultivars have plants which range from white to yellow, red, red and blue-mauve. They are mostly cultivated properly in the Netherlands by about 80 growers.[3] Freesias can be immediately increased from seed. Because of their specific and satisfying scent, they are generally used in hands ointments, shampoos, candles, etc.[citation needed], however, the bouquets are mainly used in wedding bouquets. They could be planted in the land in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 (i.e. where the temperature does not land below about -7 ?C (20 ?F)), and in the planting season in Zones 4-8.

Freesia laxa (formerly called Lapeirousia laxa or Anomatheca cruenta) is one of the other varieties of the genus which is commonly cultivated. Smaller than the scented freesia cultivars, they have flat somewhat than cup-shaped plants. Extensive 'forcing' of this bulb occurs in two Moon Bay in California where several growers chill the lights in proprietary methods to satisfy chilly dormancy which results in creation of buds within a predicted amount of weeks - often 5 weeks at 55 ?F (13 ?C).

Herbaceous plant life (in botanical use frequently simply herbal selections) are plant life that contain no continual woody stem above earth. Herbaceous crops may be annuals, biennials or perennials. Total annual herbaceous plants pass away completely by the end of the growing season or when they may have flowered and fruited, and they then increase again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants may have stems that die by the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant make it through under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they flower and die). New growth builds up from living tissue left over on or under the ground, including root base, a caudex (a thickened part of the stem at walk out) or various types of underground stems, such as bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include potato, peony, hosta, mint, most ferns and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial vegetation are woody vegetation which have stems above floor that stay alive during the dormant season and develop shoots the next season from the above-ground parts - included in these are trees and shrubs, shrubs and vines.
