  1. Permanent vegetative cover (Habitat 🌄)

    Permanent vegetative cover refers to trees, perennial bunchgrasses and grasslands, legumes, and shrubs with an expected life span of at least 5 years. In the United States, permanent cover is required on cropland entered into the Conservation Reserve Program.

  3. Iris xiphium is native to Portugal and Spain, thriving in dry meadows, woodlands, and scrublands. It supports pollinators like wild bees and butterflies, enriching landscapes often threatened by agriculture and land abandonment. Though not endangered, it benefits from habitat conservation that protects Mediterranean plant diversity.

  6. I'm catching up on this exciting botanical news from earlier in the week. A population of NZ wood rose, Te pua o te Rēinga, has been found in the Wellington region!! It was last seen there in 1914.

    This is a wholly parasitic plant that lives underground attached to tree roots. It emerges above ground only to flower, where it is known to be pollinated by kākāpō (though not anymore as the last kākāpō are mostly on offshore island sanctuaries) and short-tailed bats (NZ's deeply endemic mostly ground-dwelling bat that's rare and declining).

    It's a weird plant with weird associates.

  11. “High-grade calcium carbonate can be found in many other places, but the only place on the planet where these special plants live is confined to a small area in Southern California, primarily on the northern slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains,” Aaron Sims, the rare plant program director at the California Native Plant Society, said in a statement.

  13. When I was volunteering at The Huntington, I got to be adjacent to this work. Sadly, I never got to work directly on the avocados (I'm always more interested in fruit/nuts than any other plants).
