  Himalayan red Buransh flowers useful against SARS-Cov-2 viruses: study Encouraging results emerged later from the red Rhododendron arboreum, locally popular as Buransh, which was taken up for further analysis. Dr Sunil said, “A combination of phytochemical profiling, computer simulations and in vitro antiviral assays showed that extracts from the Buransh petals inhibited the replication of the Covid-19 virus in a dose-dependent manner.” A group of biologists at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) – Mandi has claimed to have stumbled upon a Himalayan flowering tree possessing antiviral properties with a  potential to be used in the treatment against SARS-CoV2 . “We had some knowledge about the medicinal plants and started documenting phytochemical molecules of rare and endangered plants growing in the Himalayas.

  How to Grow and Care for Garden Roses When it's thick, healthy and emerald green, your lawn is one of the most inviting parts of your home landscape. But when your turf is brown and sickly due to pest invasion, it quickly loses its appeal. Learning about the various pests that threaten your grass – and then arming yourself with an effective treatment plan – will help ensure your lawn stays healthy and beautiful. Selecting the Right Roses Roses come in many different types. Success starts with choosing roses that suit your goals. Some roses, such as modern “hybrid tea" types, need mild climates, more attention and extra protection to survive winters. Classic florist-type roses fall in this category. Hardy, shrub-type roses withstand cold much better, require less attention and need little protection. From delicate buds to big, voluptuous blossoms, they're just as beautiful as other types and often have showy fall rosehips, too. Roses also differ significantly in fragrance

Scientists solve mystery of when flowers originated

Scientists solve mystery of when flowers originated London: A team of scientists from Britain and China has claimed to have solved what Charles Darwin called the "abominable mystery" of when flowers originated. Flowering plants likely originated between 149 and 256 million years ago, said the study published in the journal New Phytologist. The study shows that flowering plants are neither as old as suggested by previous molecular studies nor as young as a literal interpretation of their fossil record.   "The discrepancy between estimates of flowering plant evolution from molecular data and fossil records has caused much debate. Even Darwin described the origin of this group as an 'abominable mystery'," explained lead author Jose Barba-Montoya from University College London.  "To uncover the key to solving the mystery of when flowers originated, we carefully analysed the genetic make-up of flowering plants, and the rate at which mutations accumulate in t

Key points : The Claremont Flower Show has been running almost continuously since the end of World War II There are concerns about the future of flower shows, with exhibitors getting older and gardens getting smaller Hobart Horticultural Society president Andrea Gerrard says flower shows are a chance to share flowers with others When Josef Neuschwanger found himself looking after the garden owned by his then parents-in-law, he thought he had better learn a thing or two about camellias. "It had 160-odd camellias in it … I didn't know anything about them," Mr Neuschwanger said. It was the start of a love affair with the flowering shrubs.
