😎 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

Here's a blurry Poey's bee for world bee day. It likes Coreopsis.

https://t.co/7VnhDAa84X It sure is warm outside, join us tomorrow in learning pretty plants.

@HUBBABUBBADOOP1 @One_Way_Home A similar alternative is to open the lid with a can opener leaving the last bit on and use the lid to turn the can. Place the can on the ground next to the fire, turning it on occasion til it is warm.

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

In case you were wondering, the rocks give insects a safe place to land and take a sip rather than risk drowning in an open water situation.

[Steve Woodmansee @HoboBotanist]

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.

[Steve Woodmansee @HoboBotanist]

A handy trick when planting native wildflowers in dry soil is to fill the holes with water first and allow the water to settle. Then install your plants, and water thoroughly.
Happy Earth Day!

@SufficientMe @YouTube Hey Mark, where will you be in Miami on Saturday? I'd like to meet you.

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

Upgrade your lawn.
Blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium)

[Steve Woodmansee @HoboBotanist]

Spring is upon us. The endangered Lignum vitae (Guajacum sanctum) is blooming in Miami!

[Steve Woodmansee @HoboBotanist]

Bring back the bugs. Please quit using chemicals, buying things covered in chemicals, and restore your yards, schools, churches, etc. to native plant habitat.

[MAVERICK X @MAVERIC68078049]

I am sure many of you have noticed this.

[Steve Woodmansee @HoboBotanist]
