The is the BEST NEWS!
Once habitat is damaged, it can never be returned to its original state. We don’t have, and probably never will have, the tools to replicate intact natural ecosystems. But guess who kinda does? Plants! The seeds abide. #NativePlants

Pawpaw news! Here you see the first harvest of a Pawpaw tree (North America’s largest native fruit) I planted almost a decade ago.
Sitting in the bowl, they were almost *overpoweringly* aromatic, and the scent was sweet. Processed, they yielded three cups of pulp and a lot of seeds. The pulp went into two loaves of sweetbread.
And that’s it for this year!
Stay tuned for my Ted Talk about why you should grow your own and not forage native plants.

Looks very similar to Cyperus iria, which is what we get here. Very undemanding plant!

New horrors. The Biodiversity Heritage Library needs help. The Smithsonian Institution will end its support as of 1 Jan 2026.
This is the world's largest open-source archive for biodiversity literature and archives -- the place where you can find all the old, but still very useful, botanical literature, among other things.
Please share widely with your networks. #biodiversity #Archives #defendresearch #botany

Lovely, and it fits into a category of music that I love but never been to explain well. Instead of having a strong melodic line, this sort of music (or segment) has a very minimal melody, while forward motion is provided by the changes in the accompaniment. The melody can be as simple as one note, even just a held note, but its interaction with the rest of the music creates different harmonies and tones like light through cut glass making shifting rainbows.

Anyone in the mood for some bug ID? I have a theory about what’s happening here but would love for someone with more bee-smarts to weigh in first.
I saw this group assembling. The lowest bee arrived last and had some interactions with the others before taking a place on the blade of grass. The single bee in the second photo also interacted but decided to settle on another leaf nearby. The grass is Broomsedge, last year’s growth. @npub1nz2…wgl6 already tagged you on #inaturalist !

It’s happening. I’m finally going to have Pawpaws! North America’s largest native fruit.

For the east coast, Ernst Seeds and Roundstone are the two big sources of native grass seeds.

A very good result. Move the needle back a tick! #USPol

Just look at this hairy little Hawkweed, getting a head start on Spring. #NativePlants
