@BrandonFugal@UtahBusiness I just hope that dynamically changing landscape includes plenty of Utah native plants! Would love to chat with you about it sometime.
@januarywalker_ 🤯 Fascinating. First time learning about these ideas and not sure I fully grasp the concepts. I’ve got some reading to do. Thanks for sharing.
@SpencerJCox@LGHendersonUtah the Utah state capital grounds is a beautiful place, but it would be even more beautiful (and ecologically beneficial) if it contained more Utah native plants. Let's make this happen!
Ever heard of matrix planting?
You plant the blue plant - the story ends, you wake up in your garden and grow whatever you want to grow. You plant the red plant - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how to transform your landscape into a beautiful, functional, ecological powerhouse.
My 2-year old just knocked on the bathroom door while I was sitting on the toilet, squished her face up against the keyhole, and asked "do you wanna build a snowman" 😂
@gorgepulse Yes, especially our black-billed magpies. Here in northern Utah I'm developing a hedgerow with mostly black hawthorn, native chokecherry, red elderberry, and some bigtooth maple. Should be a wildlife paradise.
What part of the world would you think has the highest density of bee species? Surprisingly it is the dry dessert areas of the SW US and Northern Mexico. Of the 20,700+ know species there are 500 in the SW US. This is an Osmia bee I saw in Utah on a native Penstemon.
@DaniAhnDirect I have an app that sends me and my wife weekly updates on our baby’s progress. I’m pretty sure it’s not really growing, it’s just morphing into different fruit shapes.
@TexanInOz Mine's gotta be the native Penstemon cyananthus, Wasatch penstemon. Those electric blues in our northern Utah mountains are always stunning.
