😎 In the summer, we botanize at outdoor locations and begin an hour later than our usual time. This month, we will check out Kendall Indian Hammocks Park. Old hands and new learners are encouraged to come – and it’s free! https://t.co/MkjkXlD44z

Weird native orchid: Gentian Noddingcaps (Triphora gentianoides). It likes disturbed soil in shady places.

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) makes the coziest of homes.

We had a fascinating field trip today at Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County. Here is a blooming blueflower butterwort (Pinguicula caerulea). Thanks George for leading the trip!

[Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society @DadeFNPS]

It turns out that much of the trail is unburnt, so we will continue as planned. Be prepared for wet feet and gorgeous wildflowers!

[Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society @DadeFNPS]

For those going on the field trip to Jonathan Dickinson State Park tomorrow, be aware, we will have to visit another part of the Park as Kitching Creek Trail recently burned, so most plants aren't visible right now. You may wish to skip this one. Guides will be there however.

It looks like bird migration will be medium to high in Miami these next three nights.

Lights Out Miami is back!🌙🐦

From March 15–May 15, millions of birds migrate over South Florida along the Atlantic Flyway. Bright city lights disorient birds, causing deadly window collisions.

Turn off or block nonessential lights 11pm–6am to help protect migrating birds. ✨🪶

This is a good tip mentioned at our last monthly meeting. Join us this Tuesday evening when we will learn about native plants for hedges and screens. https://t.co/VWF4I9VPsz

It's the dry season in South Florida, if you have no water features in your yard, consider placing a dish with rocks or pebbles and fill with water for small critters such as snakes, lizards, bees, and other insects. Refill every other day.

We speak bromeliad.

[FL Master Gardener Volunteer Program @FloridaMGs]

Florida has 16 species of native bromeliads. These “air plants” don't need soil and can absorb water and nutrients from the air. Sadly, many are endangered due to habitat loss and illegal collection. Learn more @UF_IFAS Gardening Solutions: https://t.co/jUwQgaMPfF
