Gets a little over a foot tall, maybe two feet wide, and is a host plant for a couple butterfly species. Just about the perfect landscape backbone plant.

Beyond honey production, bees are crucial for biodiversity and ecosystem health. They contribute to the reproduction of many plant species.

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Azorella selago is a keystone species of cushion plant & we have the world largest covering in the world. Scientists use this to monitor climate & glacial change (ie plant spreads to higher elev with warmer years). Other cushion species are struggling on other islands due to climate changes.1/2

Found on Facebook:
"Anyone wanna go plant endangered native plants that are illegal to remove on the land they want to build data centers?" "Environmental scientist here. Plant Elderberry shrubs Sambucus spp, which are native to North America. It's illegal to remove them because they provide habitat to Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetles, which are federally protected by the Endangered Species Act."

Hey #Bugsky! Look what Native Plant Guy found in the garden! I don’t know my local species well enough to know if this is a standard species or if it’s got the pink grasshopper mutation. Input appreciated!
A pinkish coral colored grasshopper!

Purple Pitcher Plant. #Newfoundland, Canada. One of our carnivorous plant species. #plant #botany #bog
Photo of the pitcher part of a purple pitcher plant. The “pitcher” is mostly red on the bottom and yellow-green with red veins at the top…which is open to allow it to fill with water and to catch insects. The pitcher plant is in a moss covered bog with other small green shrubs.

This newly-discovered plant species is extremely cute and a reminder that there's always more to find in nature.

We also have 23 invertebrate species I’ve been able to identify, 6 mammals, 28 birds, and 41 native plant species that we didn’t plant ourselves.

Which would be great except that this is a shortgrass prairie/pinyon-juniper savannah, goddamnit, and there ought to be SO MANY MORE.
