It's #SeedTapping / #SeedsCollecting time. My #liatris & #zinnias have gone to seed. I'm collecting their #seeds to save, to share & to plant next year, in new spots around the backyard.

#Flowers grown floating on polluted waterways can help clean up nutrient runoff

Cut-flower farms could be a sustainable option for mitigating water pollution.

by Jazmin Locke-Rodriguez and Krishnaswamy Jayachandran, The Conversation

2/17/2024, 7:08 AM

"Flowers grown on inexpensive floating platforms can help clean polluted waterways, over 12 weeks extracting 52 percent more #phosphorus and 36 percent more #nitrogen than the natural nitrogen cycle removes from untreated water, according to our new research. In addition to filtering water, the cut flowers can generate income via the multibillion-dollar floral market.

"In our trials of various flowers, giant #marigolds stood out as the most successful, producing long, marketable stems and large blooms. Their yield matched typical flower farm production.

Why it matters

"Water pollution is caused in large part by runoff from #farms, urban #lawns, and even #septic tanks. When it rains, excess phosphorus, nitrogen, and other chemicals wash into #lakes and #rivers.

"These nutrients feed #algae, leading to widespread and harmful #AlgaeBlooms, which can severely lower oxygen in water, creating 'dead zones' where aquatic life cannot survive. Nutrient runoff is a critical issue as urban areas expand, affecting the health of water #ecosystems.

"Water pollution is an escalating crisis in our area of Miami-Dade and Broward counties in #Florida. The 2020 #BiscayneBay fish kill, the largest mass death of aquatic life on record for the region, serves as a stark reminder of this growing environmental issue.

How we do our work

"We study sustainable agriculture and water pollution in South Florida.

"Inspired by traditional floating farm practices, including the #Aztecs’ #chinampas in Mexico and the #Miccosukees’ tree island settlements in Florida, we tested the idea of growing cut flowers on floating rafts as a way to remove excess nutrients from waterways. Our hope was not only that the flowers would pay for themselves, but that they could provide jobs here in Miami, the center of the US cut-flower trade.

"We floated 4-by-6-foot (1.2-by-1.8-meter) mats of inexpensive polyethylene foam called Beemats in 620-gallon (2,300-liter) outdoor test tanks that mirrored water conditions of nearby polluted waterways. Into the mats, we transplanted flower seedlings, including #zinnias, #sunflowers, and giant marigolds. The polluted tank water was rich in nutrients, eliminating the need for any fertilizer. As the seedlings matured into plants over 12 weeks, we tracked the tanks’ improving water quality.

"Encouraged by the success of the marigolds in our tanks, we moved our trials to the nearby canals of Coral Gables and Little River. We anchored the floating platforms with 50-pound (22.7-kilogram) weights and also tied them to shore for extra stability. No alterations to the landscape were needed, making the process simple and doable.

What still isn’t known

"The success of the giant marigolds might be linked to the extra roots that grow from their stems known as adventitious roots. These roots likely help keep the plants stable on the floating platforms. Identifying additional plants with roots like these could help broaden plant choices.

"Future raft designs may also need modifications to ensure better stability and growth for other cut-flower and crop species.

What’s next

"Our promising findings show floating cut-flower farms could be a sustainable option for mitigating water pollution.

"One of us (Locke-Rodriguez) is expanding this research and working to scale up floating farms in South Florida as a demonstration of what could take place in the many locations facing similar issues worldwide.

This is a section of a little tiny mini piece of artwork. Another one of my favorite flowers are #zinnias. If you're thinking about an original piece of artwork but don't want to invest too much, this might be a good option for you. I have many prints also.

The big main bed has had all the garlic harvested, there remains #onions, #leeks, #shallots & other heirloom #tomatoes. Some “Day of the Dead” #marigolds have returned! My #zinnias, #pumpkins and #squash have all burst through the woodchip layer. Soon this whole #garden bed will be criss-crossed by vines.

Happy #summersolstice,
#slivermoon in the evening sky, #lavendar, #dalia, and #zinnias brimming with joy. Grateful for this #prairielake in #Saskatchewan.

Throwback to last summer when the zinnias were blooming.

January Joy day 14. From July 29/22, a Zinnia & a bumblebee #JanuaryJoy #Flowers #Zinnias #Macro #Polinators

Zinnia elegans - assorted

Zinnias are a warm-season annual flower. They are easy to grow from seed, and also widely available as nursery starts every spring. They come in so many colors, shapes and sizes that there truly is a zinnia for every garden. Along with being beautiful, they are always abuzz with pollinator activity.

The colorful bouquet in my photo features a selection of flowers from my community garden plot. The coral and pink bloom is a Cactus Zinnia; the green bloom in the bottom-right corner is an Envy Zinnia; the pale pink and fuchsia blooms - and the almost completely hidden orange bloom - are from a mixed seed pack. The yellow flowers are actually coreopsis that self-seeded into my zinnia border, so thank you wind and wildlife for the gift!

#November 19, 1934

On this day, the #Garden #Writer Elizabeth Lawrence wrote to her #Sister:

I picked the last of your #Zinnias, just before the #Frost. But I think #Gardens are just as #Pretty in #Winter.

I #Weeded & covered with #Compost. #Ivy very green. Some sweet #Alyssum still in the path.

That nice raked-up look, the air full of #Smoke...

Nothing is so #Beautiful & #Sad as #Leaves falling.
