Pfingstrose – Peony by dynamo.photography

8 3

+++++ FROM WIKIPEDIA ++++++++

The peony or paeony[2] is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished ranging from 25 to 40,[3][4] although the current consensus is 33 known species.[5] The relationships between the species need to be further clarified.[6]

Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.25–1 metre (0.82–3.28 ft) tall, but some are woody shrubs 0.25–3.5 metres (0.82–11.48 ft) tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves and large, often fragrant flowers, in colors ranging from purple red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.

Peonies are among the most popular garden plants in temperate regions. Herbaceous peonies are also sold as cut flower on a large scale, although generally only available in late spring and early summer.[7]

Description

Morphology

All Paeoniaceae are deciduous perennial herbs or shrubs, with thick storage roots and thin roots for gathering water and minerals. Some species are caespitose, because the crown produces adventitous buds, while others have stolons. They have rather large compound leaves without glands and stipules, and with anomocytic stomata. In the woody species the new growth emerges from scaly buds on the previous flush or from the crown of the rootstock. The large bisexual flowers are mostly single at the end of the stem. In P. emodi, P. lactiflora, P. veitchii and many of the cultivars these contributed to, few additional flowers develop in the axils of the leaves. Flowers close at night or when the sky is overcast. Each flower is subtended by a number of bracts, that may form a sort of involucre, has 3-7 tough free sepals and mostly 5-8, but occasionally up to 13 free petals. These categories however are intergrading, making it difficult to assign some of them, and the number of these parts may vary. Within are numerous (50–160) free stamens, with anthers fixed at their base to the filaments, and are sagittate in shape, open with longitudal slits at the outer side and free pollen grains which have three slits or pores and consist of two cells. Within the circle of stamens is a more or less prominent, lobed disc, which is presumed not to excrete nectar. Within the disk is a varying number (1-15) of separate carpels, which have a very short style and a decurrent stigma. Each of these develops into a dry fruit (which is called a follicle), which opens with a lengthwise suture and each of which contains one or a few large fleshy seeds. The annual growth is predetermined: if the growing tip of a shoot is removed, no new buds will develop that season.[7][8][9]

Taxonomy

The family name "Paeoniaceae" was first used by Friedrich K.L. Rudolphi in 1830, following a suggestion by Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling that same year.[3] The family had been given other names a few years earlier.[10] The composition of the family has varied, but it has always consisted of Paeonia and one or more genera that are now placed in Ranunculales.[4] It has been widely believed that Paeonia is closest to Glaucidium, and this idea has been followed in some recent works.[3][11] Molecular phylogenetic studies, however, have demonstrated conclusively that Glaucidium belongs in the Ranunculaceae family, Ranunculales order,[12] but that Paeonia belongs in the unrelated order Saxifragales.[13] The genus Paeonia consists of about 35 species, assigned to three sections: Moutan, Onaepia and Paeoniae. The section Onaepia only includes P. brownii and P. californicum. The section Moutan is divided into P. delavayi and P. ludlowii, together making up the subsection Delavayanae, and P. catayana, P. decomposita, P. jishanensis, P. osti, P. qiui and P. rockii which constitute the subsection Vaginatae. P. suffruticosa is a cultivated hybrid swarm, not a naturally occurring species.[14]

Distribution

The genus Paeonia naturally occurs in the temperate and cold areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The section Moutan, which includes all woody species, is restricted in the wild to Central and Southern China, including Tibet. The section Onaepia consist of two herbaceous species and is present in the West of North-America, P. brownii between southern British Columbia and the Sierra Nevada in California and eastward to Wyoming and Utah, while P. californica is limited to the coastal mountains of Southern and Central California.

The section Paeonia, which comprises all other herbaceous species, occurs in a band stretching roughly from Morocco to Japan. One species of the section Paeonia, P. anomala, has by far the largest distribution, which is also north of the distribution of the other species: from the Kola peninsula in North-West Russia, to Lake Baikal in Siberia and South to the Tien Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. The rest of the section concentrates around the Mediterranean, and in Asia.

The species around the Mediterranean include Paeonia algeriensis that is an endemic of the coastal mountains of Algeria, P. coriacea in the Rif Mountains and Andalucia, P. cambessedesii on Majorca, P. russoi on Corsica, Sardinia and Sicilly, P. corsica on Corsica, Sardinia, the Ionian islands and in western Greece, P. clusii subsp. clusii on Crete and Karpathos, and subsp. rhodia on Rhodes, P. kesrouanensis in the Western Taurus Mountains, P. arietina from the Middle Taurus Mountains, P. broteri in Andalucia, P. humilis from Andalucia to the Provence, P. officinalis from the South of France, through Switzerland to the Middle of Italy, P. banatica in western Romania, northern Serbia and Slovenia and in southern Hungary, P. peregrina in Albania, western Bulgaria, northern Greece, western Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia, while P. mascula has a large distribution from Catalonia and southern France to Israel and Turkey.

Between the two concentrations, the subspecies of Paeonia daurica occur, with subspecies velebitensis in Croatia, and daurica in the Balkans and Crimea, while the other subspecies coriifolia, macrophylla, mlokosewitschii, tomentosa and wittmanniana are known from the Caucasus, Kaçkar and Alborz Mountains.

Paeonia emodi occurs in the western Himalayas between Pakistan and western Nepal, P. sterniana is an endemic of southeastern Tibet, P. veitchii grows in Central China (Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and the eastern rim of Tibet), like P. mairei (Gansu, Guizhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan), while P. obovata grows in warm-temperate to cold China, including Manchuria, Korea, Japan, Far Eastern Russia (Primorsky Krai) and on Sakhalin, and P. lactiflora occurs in Northern China, including Manchuria, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Russia (Far East and Siberia).[15]

Distributional history

The species of the section Paeonia have a disjunct distribution, with most of the species occurring in the Mediterranean, while many others occur in eastern Asia. Genetic analysis has shown that all Mediterranean species are either diploid or tetraploid hybrids that resulted from the crossbreeding of species currently limited to eastern Asia. The large distance between the ranges of the parent species and the nothospecies suggest that hybridisation already occurred relatively long ago. It is likely that the parent species occurred in the same region when the hybrids arose, and were later exterminated by successive Pleistocene glaciations, while the nothospecies remained in refugia to the South of Europe. During their retreat P. lactiflora and P. mairei likely became sympatric and so produced the Himalayan nothospecies P. emodi and P. sterniana.[15]

Chemistry and biological activity

Over 262 compounds have been obtained so far from the plants of Paeoniaceae. These include monoterpenoid glucosides, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenoids, triterpenoids, steroids, paeonols, and phenols. In vitro biological activities include antioxidant, antitumor, antipathogenic, immune-system-modulation activities, cardiovascular-system-protective activities and central-nervous-system activities.[19]

Cultivation

Paeonia 'Sarah Bernhardt'

Ancient Chinese texts mention the peony was used for flavoring food. Confucius (551–479 BC) is quoted to have said: "I eat nothing without its sauce. I enjoy it very much, because of its flavor."[20] Peonies have been used and cultivated in China since early history. Ornamental cultivars were created from plants cultivated for medicine in China as of the sixth and seventh century. Peonies became particularly popular during the Tang dynasty, when they were grown in the imperial gardens. In the tenth century the cultivation of peonies spread through China, and the seat of the Sung dynasty, Luoyang, was the centre for its cultivation, a position it still holds today. A second centre for peony cultivation developed during the Qing dynasty in Cáozhōu, now known as He Ze. Both cities still host annual peony exhibitions and state-funded peony research facilities. Before the tenth century, P. lactiflora was introduced in Japan, and over time many varieties were developed both by self fertilisation and crossbreeding, particularly during the eightienth to twentieth centuries (middle Edo to early Shōwa periods). During the 1940s Toichi Itoh succeeded in crossing tree peonies and herbaceous peonies and so created a new class of so-called intersectional hybrids. Although P. officinalis and its cultivars were grown in Europe from the fifteenth century on, originally also for medicinal purposes, intensive breeding started only in the nineteenth century when P. lactiflora was introduced from its native China to Europe. The tree peony was introduced in Europe and planted in Kew Gardens in 1789. The main centre of peony breeding in Europe has been in the United Kingdom, and particularly France. Here, breeders like Victor Lemoine and François Félix Crousse selected many new varieties, mainly with P. lactiflora, such as "Avant Garde" and "Le Printemps". The Netherlands is the largest peony cut flower producing country with about 50 million stems each year, with "Sarah Bernardt" dominating the sales with over 20 million stems.[7]

Plant growth habits

Peony species come in two distinct growth habits, while hybrid cultivars in addition may occupy an intermediate habit.

herbaceous: During summer, renewal buds develop on the underground stem (the "crown"), particularly at the foot of the current season's annual shoots. These renewal buds come in various sizes. Large buds will grow into stems the following growing season, but smaller buds remain dormant. The primordia for the leaves can already be found in June, but the flower only starts differentiating in October, as the annual shoots die down, completing its development in December, when sepals, petals, stamens and pistils are all recognisable.[7]

tree: During the summer, large buds develop at the tip of the annual growth and near its foot. In the autumn, the leaves are shed, and the new stems become woody and are perennial.

Itoh (or "Intersectional"): In 1948 horticulturist Toichi Itoh from Tokyo used pollen from the yellow tree peony "Alice Harding" to fertilize the herbaceous P. lactiflora "Katoden", which resulted in a new category of peonies, the Itoh or intersectional cultivars. These are herbaceous, have leaves like tree peonies, with many large flowers from late spring to early autumn, and good peony wilt resistance. Some of the early Itoh cultivars are "Yellow Crown", "Yellow Dream", "Yellow Emperor" and "Yellow Heaven".[21]

Flower types

Six types of flower are generally distinguished in cultivars of herbaceous peonies.

single: a single or double row of broad petals encircle fertile stamens, carpels visible.

Japanese: a single or double row of broad petals encircle somewhat broadened staminodes, may carry pollen along the edges, carpels visible.

anemone: a single or double row of broad petals encircle narrow incurved petal-like staminodes; fertile stamens are absent, carpels visible.

semi-double: a single or double row of broad petals encircles further broad petals intermingled with stamens.

bomb: a single row of broad petals encircles a shorter dense pompon of narrower petals.

double: the flower consists of many broad petals only, including those which likely are altered stamens and carpels.[7]

Propagation

Herbaceous and Itoh peonies are propagated by root division, and sometimes by seed. Tree peonies can be propagated by grafting, division, seed, and from cuttings, although root grafting is most common commercially.[22][23]

Herbaceous peonies such as Paeonia lactiflora, will die back to ground level each autumn. Their stems will reappear the following spring. However tree peonies, such as Paeonia suffruticosa, are shrubbier. They produce permanent woody stems that will lose their leaves in winter but the stem itself remains intact above ground level.[24]

Uses

The herb known as Paeonia, in particular the root of P. lactiflora (Bai Shao, Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae), has been used frequently in traditional medicines of Korea, China and Japan. In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan." In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "King of Flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "Prime Minister of Flowers."[25]

In China, the fallen petals of Paeonia lactiflora are parboiled and sweetened as a tea-time delicacy. Peony water, an infusion of peony petals, was used for drinking in the Middle Ages. The petals may be added to salads or to punches and lemonades.[26]

Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.

Culture

The peony is among the longest-used flowers in Eastern culture. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where the Paeonia suffruticosa is called 牡丹 (mǔdān). It is also known as 富貴花 (fùguìhuā) "flower of riches and honour" or 花王 (huawang) "king of the flowers", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[27] In 1903, the Qing dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China government in Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China government has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.

The ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang have been said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.

In the Middle Ages, peonies were often painted with their ripe seed-capsules, since it was the seeds, not the flowers, which were medically significant.[1] Ancient superstition dictated that great care be taken not to be seen by a woodpecker while picking the plant's fruit, or the bird might peck out one's eyes.[28]

In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.

Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony, giving it the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. While the peony takes several years to re-establish itself when moved, it blooms annually for decades once it has done so.[29]

Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds, and is not required for the plants' own pollination or other growth.[30]

Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish. The popular use of peonies in Japanese tattoo was inspired by the ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi's illustrations of Suikoden, a classical Chinese novel. His paintings of warrior-heroes covered in pictorial tattoos included lions, tigers, dragons, koi fish, and peonies, among other symbols. The peony became a masculine motif, associated with a devil-may-care attitude and disregard for consequence.

Famous painters of peonies have included Conrad Gessner (ca. 1550) and Auguste Renoir in 1879. Paeonia officinalis can be found in the altar picture of Maria im Rosenhag by Schongauer in the former Dominican Church in Colmar.[31] The Italian Jesuit, painter and architect Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766), who worked at the court of the Qianlong Emperor in the Qing dynasty, painted peonies.

Die Pfingstrosen (Paeonia), auch Päonien genannt, sind die einzige Pflanzengattung der Familie der Pfingstrosengewächse (Paeoniaceae). Diese Gattung umfasst 32 Arten. Die bekanntesten Sorten sind Stauden, also ausdauernde krautige Pflanzen, deren oberirdische Sprossen im Winter absterben; daneben gibt es auch verholzende Arten und Sorten, die meistens als Halbsträucher, seltener als Sträucher wachsen. Ausgangsformen der Kultursorten sind fast immer gärtnerische Züchtungen der Gemeinen Pfingstrose und der Milchweißen Pfingstrose.[1] Wenige Gartenformen basieren dagegen auf interspezifischen Hybriden.

Die wechselständig angeordneten Laubblätter sind zumeist relativ groß und gestielt. Die zusammengesetzte Blattspreite ist mit Ausnahme der vorhergehend genannten beiden Arten zumeist doppelt dreizählig. Die Zahl der Abschnitte der unteren Blätter variieren bei den staudigen Arten zwischen 9 (Paeonia daurica),[3] 10 bis 22 (Paeonia mascula),[3] 78 bis 91 (Paeonia intermedia)[4] und 134 bis 340 (Paeonia tenuifolia).[4] Bei Paeonia intermedia und Paeonia tenuifolia sind die Blätter dabei federartig mit zahlreichen linealischen Blattabschnitten.[5] Die Blattfiedern besitzen normalerweise einen gezähnten Rand oder sind gelappt. Nebenblätter fehlen.

Blüten, Früchte und Samen

Die endständigen Blüten stehen über ein bis sechs Hochblättern (Brakteen). Sie sind groß und sehen Rosenblüten etwas ähnlich. Die zwittrigen Blüten variieren stark in der Anzahl ihrer Blütenorgane. Es sind zwei bis neun Kelchblätter und vier bis dreizehn Kronblätter vorhanden. Die Kronblätter besitzen meist Rosa- oder Rottöne, es existieren jedoch auch Arten mit weißen und gelben Kronblättern. In der Mitte der Blüte befinden sich viele (bis zu 230), zentrifugal vermehrte, kurze Staubblätter. Die Staubblätter verdecken beinahe die zwei bis fünf (bis acht) großen, freien Fruchtblätter, welche am Grunde eine als Nektarium dienende Scheibe, den „Diskus“, bilden. Die Blüten der Pfingstrosen verbreiten einen intensiven Duft.

Die Sorten der Strauch- und Baumpäonien tragen die größten und prächtigsten Blüten aller Pfingstrosen. Sie sind zumeist gefüllt, manchmal bis über 20 Zentimeter groß und besitzen gerüschte oder gekräuselte Kronblätter.

Es werden Sammelbalgfrüchte gebildet. Die dunklen Samen sind relativ groß mit einem Durchmesser von bis zu 1,3 Zentimetern.

Mikroskopische Merkmale, Inhaltsstoffe und Chromosomenzahl

Vorkommen

Bis auf zwei an der Westküste Nordamerikas heimische Arten sind alle Pfingstrosen aus den gemäßigten Klimazonen und subtropischen Klimazonen Eurasiens verbreitet. Einige Arten gedeihen aber auch in stärker kontinentalen Gebieten Sibiriens und Ostasiens (Paeonia anomala, Paeonia lactiflora, Paeonia obovata). Verbreitungsschwerpunkt sind aber die subtropischen Bergregionen in Südeuropa, Kleinasien, Kaukasien und Ostasien.

Um Blütenknospen ausbilden zu können, benötigen die meisten Pfingstrosen-Arten eine kalte Ruhezeit im Winter. Junge Blätter und Blütenknospen können dagegen durch Spätfröste geschädigt werden. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Strauch-Päonien, die besonders früh austreiben.

Pfingstrosen wachsen überwiegend in Bergwäldern, einige Arten kommen auch in den Steppenregionen Osteuropas sowie Asiens vor (beispielsweise Paeonia tenuifolia). Die europäischen Pfingstrosen finden sich überwiegend auf kalkhaltigen Böden und wachsen zumeist in wenig geschlossenen Wäldern und Buschwaldregionen. Die Gemeine Pfingstrose (Paeonia officinalis) kommt aber auch häufiger in subalpinen Rasengesellschaften der Südalpen vor.

Die Gemeine Pfingstrose, die aus den Bergregionen Südeuropas stammt, gilt in Bayern und zwar vor allem in Franken als stellenweise eingebürgert. Aufgrund ihrer langen Kultivierungsgeschichte in Mitteleuropa würde man sie den ethelochor verschleppten Archäophyten zurechnen.

Die meisten europäischen Pfingstrosenarten sind nur von wenigen Fundorten bekannt und gehören daher zu den gefährdeten Arten.

Systematik

Namensherkunft

Die Gattung Paeonia wurde 1753 von Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum erstveröffentlicht.[6] Der botanische Gattungsname Paeonia ist auf das griechische Wort „paionia“ zurückzuführen, das für den Götterarzt Paian steht. Der griechischen Sage nach heilte er mit Hilfe dieser Pflanze Pluton, den Gott der Unterwelt, nachdem Herakles diesen im Krieg um Pylos verwundet hatte. Auch die antiken römischen Dichter wissen Ähnliches von der Pflanze zu berichten. Vergil sagt im 7. Gesang der Äneis, dass die Göttin Artemis den Virbios, der von den Pferden seines Vaters Theseus getötet worden war, mit Hilfe einer Pfingstrose wieder zum Leben erweckte.

Äußere Systematik

Die Pfingstrosengewächse wurden im Laufe der Zeit an verschiedenen Stellen im Stammbaum der Bedecktsamer angesiedelt: Cronquist stellte sie unter anderem wegen der zentrifugalen Vermehrung (Dédoublement) der Staubblätter in die basale Ordnung Dilleniales der Dilleniidae (siehe Systematik nach Schmeil-Fitschen); Tachtadschjan sah eine enge Verwandtschaft mit Glaucidium palmatum, das von APG II zu den Hahnenfußgewächsen gestellt wird, stellte Paeonia und Glaucidium jeweils in eine eigene Ordnung Paeoniales bzw. Glaucidiales und ordnete beide der Unterklasse Hahnenfußähnliche (Ranunculidae) zu[7][8] (siehe Systematik der Bedecktsamer nach Tachtadschjan).

Die Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) schließlich, nach deren Systematik sich die deutschsprachige Wikipedia richtet, rechnet die Pfingstrosengewächse zur Ordnung der Steinbrechartigen (Saxifragales) (siehe Systematik der Bedecktsamer).

Nutzung

Pfingstrosen im Garten

Kulturformen

Von zwei Arten aus dieser Gattung werden viele Sorten in Mitteleuropa sehr häufig kultiviert: Die Gemeine Pfingstrose (Paeonia officinalis) wird auch als Echte Pfingstrose oder Bauern-Pfingstrose bezeichnet, weil sie fester Bestandteil des traditionellen Bauerngartens ist. Nach wie vor findet sich diese Art in vielen mitteleuropäischen Gärten, wo sie ab Mai mit ihren großen Blüten die Pflanzenfreunde erfreut. Als Zierpflanze für Parks und Gärten hat sie jedoch zunehmend Konkurrenz durch die züchterischen Sorten der aus Ostasien stammenden Milchweißen Pfingstrose (Paeonia lactiflora) erhalten. Insgesamt wurden 3.000 Sorten dieser Gattung gezüchtet. Strauch- oder Baumpäonien werden nur in klimatisch begünstigten Regionen kultiviert. Strauch-Pfingstrosen werfen im Herbst ihre Blätter ab. Ihre verholzten Triebe verwelken im Gegensatz zu denen der Stauden-Pfingstrosen nicht. Erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gelang es Züchtern, Strauch-Pfingstrosen und Stauden-Pfingstrosen erfolgreich zu kreuzen. Die ersten sechs Sorten dieser Kreuzungen wurden nach dem Züchter Itoh-Hybriden benannt, geläufiger ist inzwischen der Begriff „Intersektionelle Pfingstrosen“. Gemeinsames Merkmal dieser Hybriden sind das Laub und die Blüten (besonders die gelbe Farbe) den Strauch-Pfingstrosen ähneln, verbunden mit dem jährlichen Neuaustrieb als Staude.

Die Korallen-Pfingstrose (Paeonia mascula) ist eine der zwei Arten, die man bereits in der Antike als Heilpflanze schätzte.

Die Geschichte der Pfingstrosen als Gartenpflanze

Pfingstrosen in China

Strauch-Pfingstrose (Paeonia ×suffruticosa)

Die Pfingstrosen werden in der chinesischen Gartenkunst bereits seit mehr als tausend Jahren als Zierpflanze kultiviert. Die Strauch-Pfingstrose (Paeonia ×suffruticosa) ist in Nordwestchina, in Tibet und in Bhutan beheimatet und wächst dort in Bambusdickichten, im Unterholz der Wälder und auf Wiesen. Chinesische Gärtner hatten aus der ursprünglich rot blühenden Art bereits eine Palette unterschiedlicher Sorten mit Blütenfarben von Weiß über Gelb bis hin zu Schwarzviolett gezüchtet, als gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts Europäer die ersten lebenden Pflanzen nach England mitbrachten. Die Royal Horticultural Society sendete 1834 sogar eigens den Pflanzensammler Robert Fortune nach China, um dort weitere Pfingstrosen-Sorten zu erwerben.

Auch eine zweite Art, die Milchweiße Pfingstrose (Paeonia lactiflora), wird seit über 1.000 Jahren in China als Zierpflanze geschätzt. Bereits zur Zeit der Song-Dynastie (961 bis 1278) hatte man aus der Art 39 verschiedene Sorten gezüchtet, die sich vor allem durch dicht gefüllte, ballähnliche Blüten auszeichneten.

Pfingstrosen in Europa

Bereits in der europäischen Antike war die Pfingstrose als Gartenpflanze bekannt. Zwei der Arten, die im Mittelmeergebiet heimisch sind, die Korallen-Pfingstrose (Paeonia mascula) und die Gemeine Pfingstrose (Paeonia officinalis), wurden im Mittelmeerraum bereits in der Antike gepflegt. Beide Arten standen in dem Ruf, Heilpflanzen zu sein. Es sind vor allem die Benediktinermönche gewesen, die die Gemeine Pfingstrose von jenseits der Alpen nach Mitteleuropa brachten, um sie als Heilpflanze in ihren Klöstern zu kultivieren. Gelegentlich bezeichnete man daher die Gemeine Pfingstrose auch als Benediktinerrose. Von den Klostergärten aus gelangte sie in die Bauerngärten, wo sie neben ihrer Heilwirkung auch wegen ihrer Anspruchslosigkeit und Langlebigkeit geschätzt wurde.

Insbesondere die Gemeine Pfingstrose (Paeonia officinalis) ist eine verhältnismäßig robuste Gartenpflanze und das gilt auch für viele der Zuchtsorten der Chinesischen Pfingstrose. Die anderen Arten stellen an ihren Standort höhere Anforderungen und können vor allem durch Spätfröste Schaden an Blättern und Trieben nehmen. Sinnvoll ist es, Pfingstrosen möglichst lange an einem Standort stehen zu lassen, da der Blütenansatz von Jahr zu Jahr zunimmt. Pfingstrosen können über Jahrzehnte am selben Ort gedeihen, ohne dass sie je ausgegraben und geteilt werden müssen. Empfehlenswert ist es, die Pflanzen im Frühjahr vor dem Austrieb sowie nach der Blüte im Sommer mit organischem Dünger wie Knochenmehl oder Hornspänen zu versorgen, damit die Pflanzen ihre Blühwilligkeit behalten. Auf mineralischen Dünger reagieren Pfingstrosen gelegentlich mit gelben Blättern und dürftigem Wachstum. Der Blühfähigkeit der Pflanze dient es auch, wenn verblühte Blüten abgeschnitten werden, da die Samenbildung die Pflanze viel Kraft kostet, die zu Lasten des Blütenansatzes im nächsten Jahr geht.

Pfingstrosen gedeihen am besten an einem etwas windgeschützten Standort in vollem oder leicht gefiltertem Sonnenlicht und in einem nährstoffreichen und durchlässigen Gartenboden wie beispielsweise einem lockeren Lehmboden. Pfingstrosen sind sogenannte Starkzehrer, das heißt, sie benötigen einen nährstoffreichen Boden. Bei den meisten Gärtnern hat es sich bewährt, sie nach dem Austrieb zu mulchen und mit gut verrottetem Mist zu düngen.

Stauden-Pfingstrosen werden so tief gepflanzt, dass ihr Wurzelstock etwa drei bis vier Zentimeter unter der Erdoberfläche liegt. Die ideale Pflanzzeit ist in der Regel der Herbst, wenn die Sortenauswahl im Gartenfachhandel in der Regel auch am größten ist. Die beste Pflanzzeit für Strauch-Pfingstrosen fällt gleichfalls in diese Zeit. Sie werden jedoch so tief gepflanzt, dass die Veredelungsstelle etwa 10 bis 15 Zentimeter unterhalb der Oberfläche liegt. Der Pflanzabstand sollte 80 bis 100 cm betragen.

Strauch-Pfingstrosen stehen am besten allein oder in Gesellschaft mit anderen Sträuchern. Ideale Begleitpflanzen der Stauden-Pfingstrosen sind beispielsweise Frauenmantel, Katzenminze oder die Arten und Sorten der Storchschnäbel.

Pfingstrosen in der Medizin

In China werden Pfingstrosen (Sorte 'Fen Dan Bai', Hybride von Paeonia ostii) großflächig zur Gewinnung des Mudan pi, einem wichtigen Stoff der chinesischen Heilkunst, angebaut. Auch in Europa importiert die Pharmaindustrie beträchtliche Mengen an Päonienwurzeln, die von Naturstandorten aus Ost-Europa und Vorderasien stammen.

Die Blüten enthalten den Anthocyanin-Farbstoff Peonidin, einen Methylether des Cyanidins.

Symbolik

Aufgrund ihrer langen Kultivierungsgeschichte wird den Päonien ein hoher symbolischer Gehalt zugewiesen. Pfingstrosen tauchen in den mittelalterlichen Tafelgemälden bereits auf, da sie in der christlichen Symbolsprache Reichtum, Heil, Heilung und Schönheit symbolisierten.

In der chinesischen Gartenkunst symbolisiert die Päonie Reichtum, Liebespfand, ein in Liebe erfülltes Frauenleben und die Sanftmut Buddhas.

Ein japanisches Sprichwort sagt:

立てば芍薬、座れば牡丹、歩く姿は百合の花

tateba shakuyaku, suwareba botan, aruku sugata wa yuru no hana

Im Stehen wie eine Chinesische Pfingstrose, im Sitzen wie eine Strauch-Pfingstrose, und die Art, wie sie läuft, die Blüte einer Lilie.

Das Sprichwort beschreibt die drei unterschiedlichen Schönheitsideale, denen eine Frau entsprechen soll: Wenn sie steht, soll sie einer chinesischen Pfingstrose gleichen, mit ihrem kräftigen Stängel und der vollen Blüte. Wenn sie sitzt, soll sie dagegen zerbrechlich wirken wie die Strauch-Pfingstrose. Und wenn sie geht, soll sie anmutig sein wie eine Lilie.

In China gilt die Päonie als Symbol für Vornehmheit und Reichtum. Zu den zentralen Werken der chinesischen Literatur zählt das vielfach ausgeführte und bearbeitete Drama Der Päonienpavillon. In der klassischen Erotikliteratur Chinas gilt der Blumenname “牡丹”(Aussprache "mu-dan") oft als Anspielung auf den Genital,[19] da das Schriftzeichen “牡”(Aussprache "mu") in etymologischer Verbindung mit dem Schriftzeichen “牝”(Aussprache "pin") steht und ursprünglich verwendet wurde, um einen Ochsen/Hahn als Gegensatz einer Kuh/Huhn zu bezeichnen. In einer chinesischen Legende kennt man die junge Heldin unter dem Namen“白牡丹”(Aussprache "bai-mu-dan", wörtliche Übersetzung "weiße Päonie"; namentlich eine weibliche Person aus der Familie bai resp. Familie "weiß" mit dem Vornamen mu-dan resp. "Päonie"). Diese Figur ist nämlich Geliebte des Unsterblichen “吕洞宾”(Aussprache "lü-dong-bin") in der chinesischen Mythologie.

Pfingstrosen in der Kunst

Édouard Manet, Weiße Pfingstrosen (1864)

Die Pfingstrose wird in der chinesischen Kunst sehr häufig dargestellt, aber auch in der europäischen Kunst spielt sie eine große Rolle. Eines der ersten Gemälde, auf denen Pfingstrosen zu entdecken sind, ist „Das Paradiesgärtlein“, das um 1410 von einem unbekannten oberrheinischen Meister geschaffen wurde. Dieses Bild gehört heute zu einem der Hauptwerke im Besitz des Städelschen Kunstinstituts in Frankfurt. Die sogenannte „Marienblume“, wie man die Pfingstrose auch nannte, ist auf diesem Bild in der Mitte des unteren Bilddrittels abgebildet. Nicht unweit davon liegt tot der kleine Drache, der das Unheil symbolisiert und damit das Gegenstück zu dieser Blume bildet, die das Heil symbolisiert.

Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

RGB Strip- Light Painting by Andrew D2010

I bought 2 metres of this individually addressable RGB (Red Green Blue) LED light strip (Adafruit: Digital Addressable RGB LED w/ PWM waterproof flexi strip - (1m), ID: 306). The strip uses LPD8806 controllers that allows each LED to be controlled using pulse-width modulation (PWM) meaning brightness can be controlled along with colour. Specs boost 7-bit PWM at 1.2MHz for each channel - 21-bit colour per LED (2 million colours?).

I hope to build a light painting wand project and testing the strip and getting it to work was the first step.

CLAUDE MONET by Norfolkboy1

Water lilies, setting sun, Ca.1907.

During the final two decades of his life Monet devoted himself to painting the water garden he had created at his home in Giverny, producing around 250 innovative canvases. His paintings became increasingly experimental as he gradually abandoned depictions of the banks of the pond, its Japanese bridge and the traditional horizon line in order to concentrate on the subtle modulations of light as it transformed the water and the reflections of foliage and clouds.

In this painting the only hint to help situate the viewer is the clump of plants in the bottom left corner which indicates the approximate position of the bank. The pink and yellow rays of the setting sun shimmer on the pond. Our vision seems to oscillate between the surface of the water and the depths of the pond; between the horizontal lily pads and the dark vertical reflections of the weeping willows.

Purple LED lights: the secret is REVEALED! by Mark Kriegsman

Purple LEDs! Yay!

But wait. There's no such thing as a purple LED! What gives?!

Eleanor and I discovered the answer when we shook our heads quickly while looking at the "purple" LEDs: they're not glowing steady purple at all! Each little 'bulb' has TWO LEDs inside it, a RED one which is on all the time, and a BLUE one which flashes on and off so fast you can hardly see it. The blue one is on about three-quarters of the time.

And when your eye sees blue+red blue+red red blue+red blue+red red blue+red blue+red red it really looks purple!

BUT you can take apart the purple into the red and blue, and you can see the superfast flashing on and off of the blue if you move your eyes -- or a camera(!) -- quickly past the bulbs.

Mystery solved!

/ Performance Introduction

LUPONEGRO YINGFAN PSALMANAZAR solo

When I was not on stage before, I had got so much wishful thinking, and there was no any result. Afterwards, I got on stage, and there was once my musical instruments were too many to be carried, so I thought of gathering topics and centralizing the table of organization. In the recent years, I don’t even think about presenting specific concept, instead, I think immediately how to continue after the first sound appears. Someone asked me if I am oppressive, I can only respond with a forced smile.

Girl with Guitar from Mr.Vermeer.

The Guitar Player is one of the most beautiful examples of Vermeer's late style.The crispness of his image and the radiant colors give the painting a glowing quality. Vermeer, in his paintings of the 1670s, was no longer concerned with describing specific textures of materials. Brushstrokes became freer and more expressive than in his earlier works as he emphasized patterns of color rather than textures. Vermeer modeled the girl's dress and jacket, for example (right), with sharply defined planes of color, The subtle modulations in folds and contours that he formerly created by applying glazes over opaque paints are no longer evident.

The face also is treated differently. Its expression is outward and not self-contained. The nuances of shading that suggested qualities of character and personality have been replaced by distinctly separate areas of light, and shade. The interest in pattern is evident in the ringlets of hair silhouetted against the wall.

An edible, but reportedly not very tasty jelly fungus. It is sometimes candied.

akas include yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, yellow trembler, and witches' butter, Tremelle jaune (French), Huang jin yin er (Chinese), Hida kikurage (Japanese), gullkrös (Swedish), Viltig judasoor (Dutch).

Jelly fungi apparently have medicinal properties, including immune modulation, anti-tumor, circulatory and respiratory benefits.

The scientific name of this mushroom translates into "trembling intestine." Since it is considered edible, I presume that this refers to the appearance of the mushroom, rather than a side-effect of eating it.

SST12CP12 Combines High Linear Output Power With Low EVM in Small Package for Longer Range at Maximum Data Rate; Supports MCS8, HT40, Spectrum Mask and OFDM.

Microchip today announced its latest 2.4 GHz RF high-power amplifier—the SST12CP12—which adds support for the 256-QAM ultra-high data rate modulation. With its high linear output power of up to 23 dBm at a dynamic EVM as low as 1.8% and MCS8 40 MHz bandwidth modulation, along with 25 dBm linear power at 3% EVM, this amplifier significantly extends the range of IEEE 802.11b/g/n WLAN systems while providing excellent power at the maximum 256-QAM data rate. It is also spectrum mask compliant up to 28.5 dBm for 802.11b/g communication, and utilizes Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to correct severe channel conditions without the need for complex equalization filters. Additionally, the SST12CP12 reduces board space with its small 3x3x0.55 mm, 16-pin QFN package. For more info, visit: www.microchip.com/get/NCPD
