Excerpt: ...erect style, about as long as the stamens, and terminated bya simple stigma. The fruit consists of five capsules or follicles, nearly cylindrical, straight, pointed, one-celled, one-valved, and many-seeded. The seeds are oval, smooth, dark, and shining, and attached to both edges of the suture of each follicle. Plate 13, fig. 3, (a) stamens and pistils; (b) a petal with its spur; (c) the pistils, the germens of which are surrounded with ten scales; (d) the fruit, consisting of five capsules or follicles united at the base. This plant is found in meadows, woods, and coppices in several parts of England, but it can scarcely be reckoned an indigenous plant, having escaped from gardens, where it is very generally cultivated. A common near Skegby, in Nottinghamshire, Langwith Woods, in Derbyshire, and Ditchling Common, Sussex, are mentioned as some of its localities. It flowers in June. The generic name is derived from dquila, an eagle, in reference to the spurs of the petals, which were thought to resemble the claws of that bird. The common English name suggests the idea of the more gentle dove. There is some doubt as to whether the Columbine was familiar to the ancients: Caspar Bauhin considers it the munwm of Theophrastus, and the nrovrupov of Dioscorides. The genus Aquilegia is not very numerous, but most of the species are pretty and vivacious, especially the Alpine Columbine (A. Alpina). The plant before us is an old inhabitant of the flower-garden, and there are many varieties with violet, purple, red, flesh-coloured, and white flowers, but no art can change these tints to yellow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether on the ground or in the mind gardens carry meaning. They reflect social and aesthetic values and may express hope, anticipation or grief. Throughout history they have provided a means of physical survival. In creating and maintaining gardens people construe and construct a relationship with their environment. But there is no single meaning carried in the word ‘garden’: as idea and practice it reflects cultural differences in beliefs, values and social organisation. It embodies personal, community even national ways of seeing and being in the world. There are ten essays in Gardens of History and Imagination, each of which examines the role of gardens and gardening in the settlement of New South Wales and in growing a colony and a state. They explore the significance of gardens for the health of the colony, for its economy, for the construction of social order and moral worth. No less do they reveal the significance of forming and reforming personal identities in this process. For the immigrants gardening was an act of settlement; it was also a statement of possession for individuals and for Britain. For a long time it was with memories of ‘home’, often selective and idealised, that settlers made gardens but as the colony developed its own character so did gardening possibilities and practices.
