Blooming along the upper Crayton Trail, the bell-shaped flowers with scalloped petals emerge from beneath the evergreen, heart-shaped leaves, sometimes in late February, but most often in early March. The silver-veined leaves resemble those of galax, and like galax, they turn red and bronze during cold weather. Beautiful in every season, Shortia makes a wonderful ground cover once established, but it is a very challenging plant to grow and is seldom found for sale. Known only in a few locations in the Southern Appalachians, it is endangered throughout its range.<\/p>\n<p>The history of <em>Shortia<\/em> in botany is noteworthy, as it was the focus of intense interest during the 19th century. <em>Shortia<\/em> was first collected for scientific purposes as a nameless specimen by French botanist and explorer Andr\u00e9 Michaux in 1788. Visiting Paris in 1839, Asa Gray, then America\u2019s most prominent botanist, saw Michaux\u2019s dried specimen\u2014consisting only of leaves, no flowers\u2014and recognized it as a new species.<\/p>\n<p>He named it after Charles Wilkins Short (1794-1863), a fellow botanist and medical doctor in Kentucky. Gray\u2019s discovery launched him on a decades-long hunt to find the plant in bloom\u2014a hunt that was stymied until 1878, when an herbalist in McDowell County sent Gray specimens located there. Gray was thrilled and memorably exclaimed, \u201cNow let me sing my <em>Nunc Dimittis<\/em>,\u201d upon finally receiving the live specimen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shortia<\/em> was indeed important, because Gray\u2019s comparison of it to related species in Japan led him to support Darwin\u2019s theories of evolution\u2014a large historical role for this diminutive, much-loved harbinger of spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming Events at Asheville Botanical Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, March 1:<\/strong> Propagating Native Woody Plants from Cuttings, with Emily Driskill<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, March 3:<\/strong> Certified Pollinator Advocate Series: Gardens That Please Both People AND Pollinators, with Amy Fahmy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, March 7:<\/strong> North Carolina Native Plant Society Land of the Sky Chapter Meeting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, March 8:<\/strong> Tree Identification Walk, with Luke Cannon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, March 14:<\/strong> Using Native Grasses and Sedges in the Garden, with Nancy Adamson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, March 21:<\/strong> Bird-Friendly Gardening, with Tom Tribble<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, March 22:<\/strong> Small Wonders in Spring: A Moss and Lichen Walk, with Sue Studlar<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, March 28:<\/strong> Introduction to Lawn Alternatives for HOAs<\/p>\n<p>Learn more and register for classes online via the ABG website at <a href=\"http:\/\/AshevilleBotanicalGarden.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AshevilleBotanicalGarden.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The ABG Visitors Center and Gift Shop is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, featuring work by local artisans, garden-themed art, toys, tools, cards, and books.
