I don't know if you visit this site often, Gnomon, but I couldn't let this wonderful article go unpraised.
I've been looking at the possibility of writing some guide articles on growing plants that I'm fond of (it's a long list), and I was dismayed to find that few English trees have guide articles. Then I found this article, which blew me away.
I live on another continent, though, and I'm partial to the plants we have in my area. I have written an entry on how to grow Echinacea/Coneflowers for the blossoms. English researchers might be interested in these, as there's considerable popularity for them in much of Europe (and not just for the extracts that help the immune system).
Rudbeckia is another plant I'd like to write about. It's ridiculously easy to grow from seed, and it self-seeds like crazy. The ultimate treat for the lazy or neophyte gardener.
If I write about a tree, it might be the White Spruce, which is native in my area, and some of the growth tips might work for the Norway Spruce, which seems popular in England. Or, I could write an entry about spruces in general, highlighting regional differences.
