Getting ready for winter in the Southwest
is a little different than it is in most parts of the country. Rather than making
sure the snow blower is finely tuned-up and running, our volunteers
spend the first week of December folding, filling and lighting over 3,000
traditional luminaria bags in preparation for Luminaria Nights. Instead
of watching a blanket of snow cover our garden, we’re waiting for the
winter blooms of Lachenalias and its full spectrum color palette to liven
up our garden beds. It’s also time to check that drip irrigation, deep soak
trees, and prune and plant cool season herbs and veggies. Sounds like
a lot of work doesn’t it? Check out our Director of Horticulture Michael
Chamberland’s article on winter bulbs and the seasonal gardening guide –
we work hard to make it easy for you to remember winter gardening tasks.
Winter is also a time for planning: I’m heading off to New York to see the
New York Botanic Gardens exhibit, “The Garden and Art of Frida Kahlo”.
While there, I’ll be working with the programming and exhibition staff in
planning the exhibits tour to the Tucson Botanical Gardens! We are honored
to be chosen to host this special exhibit in fall of 2016.
As we end 2015 and welcome 2016, all of us at the Tucson Botanical
Gardens wish you and yours a year filled with health, happiness, and as
always… great gardening!

“The garden historically,
is the place where all
the senses are exploited.
Not just the eye, but
the ear – with water,
with birds. And there is
texture, too, in plants
you long to touch.”

Lovely Lachenalias
By Michael Chamberland, Tucson Botanical
Gardens Director of Horticulture
Winter is a time with a scarcity
of flowers. Cold weather and dim
sunlight slow the metabolism of
plants, leaving little to expend on floral
extravagance. Insects also are slow and
few, not offering a wealth of pollination
opportunities. Bulbs have a strategy to
get a jump on spring. These plants store
energy during the growing season in
their subterranean bulbs. When the first
hints of spring are detected, these bulb
plants mobilize their energy to send
up a flower display. Ideally this occurs
with the first warm afternoons of spring,
when the earliest insects are also active.
Given the fickle nature of spring
weather, it makes sense that many bulb
plants are cold tolerant with flowers
that will take a bit of frost. Commonly
cultivated bulbs such as daffodils and
tulips fit this description. But a wealth
of lesser known bulbs exists. Many
of these are from South Africa. Most
are lesser known because they have
not developed much cold tolerance in
southern Africa’s mild climate. These
are bulbs you will not find planted in
temperate regions, but for southern
Arizona, they offer possibilities.
Some of the best winter blooming
bulbs for southern Arizona are from
the genus Lachenalia. These are petite
plants, with few species likely to reach
a foot in height. The flowers too are
small, but offered in bunches along the
flower stalk. The wealth of colors is
extraordinary.
Lachenalia aloides var. quadricolor
produces flowers zoned with orange,
yellow, burgundy and a touch of green.
This is one of the best species and also
one of the most available. Lachenalia
viridiflora makes flowers in an odd
turquoise-green color. Some species like
4
TBG1502 Winter 2015 Newsletter-03.indd 4
L. zebrina are notable for the dark spots
and striations on the leaves. Flowers in
yellow, purple, white, orange and red
can be found among the 110 species.
Lachenalia can take a bit of searching to
find. Many can be purchased through
mail order. Bulbs travel well by mail
when they are in the dormant state. In
Tucson you may find Lachenalia sold by
some cactus and succulent nurseries.
Occasionally the plants will show up at
big box stores.
Southern Africa has a variety of climate
zones. Lachenalia originate from areas
of winter rainfall. Water the plants
regularly in winter and give them plenty
of sun. Later in spring the leaves wither
and the plants appear “dead”. This is
natural dormancy which lasts half the
year. During this time the plant can be
ignored and no watering is required.
Too much wetness may rot the bulbs.
Plant them in well-drained cactus soil.
Lachenalia are best grown in pots, and if
they are happy the bulbs will proliferate.
The bulbs should be divided up and
given space to promote flowering. To
protect against inadvertent watering and
monsoon rains, you may wish to bring
the potted bulbs indoors and place them
in an out-of-the way corner until fall,
when watering and sun will revive the
dormant bulbs.

Guests can marvel at the spectacular
sight of hundreds of butterflies
fluttering about amongst lush
tropical flora and be amazed by the
vibrant South American dart frogs.
Approximately 300 to 400 butterflies
fly freely on any given day and over 120
different varieties of butterflies make
their way to the greenhouse throughout
the eight month long exhibit. During
the winter months guests can expect
to see butterflies from Africa, Asia
and Malaysia. Don’t forget to visit the
chrysalis exhibit next to the greenhouse
where the butterfly pupae can emerge
right before guests’ eyes. This season
some new and exciting changes have
come to the exhibit. The Butterfly
Magic staff has been working to
incubate eggs laid by the dart frogs
and it’s paying off! Several eggs have
already hatched and the tadpoles are
growing quickly. We’ll be adding
the new dart frogs to the exhibit over the
next couple of months. The chrysalis
exhibit has also been outfitted with
new equipment to produce optimal
temperatures and humidity levels for
the pupae, resulting in a faster and more
natural emergence process.
