Check out who took residence in my BEE plant! This is my first spring with my #CaliforniaNativePlants and I am already considering it a great success. The bee plant stalk may die back, but the whole point is to create a habitat, and I can confidently say I have done that!

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Pupy the African elephants is starting her fantastic new life at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil. A big thank you to everyone who made this happen!
After spending the day in the barn with the gates wide open, Pupy waited for nightfall to begin her first adventure. In a moment of bravery, she stepped out into Yard 3, leaving the cameras behind. Soon after, she returned to the barn, ventured into Yard 1 for a few minutes, and paused by

Buzz pollination - in brief.
#bumblebees rapidly contract their flight muscles. This produces powerful vibrations which they channel to the flower using their legs/mouths.
Result = #pollen explosion all over the bee.

California has 21 Salvia species (plus many cultivars). Two are annuals the remaining 19 are perennial which can (and do) hybridize. They have different bloom times from early spring through fall. I keep my favorite, S pachyphyla, isolated for seed collection.

Every light turned off reduces the risk of window collisions and keeps their journey on track. Help them travel safely by turning off all unnecessary lights from 11 p.m. to dawn.

PSA - leash your dog when you’re out for a walk. I don’t care if your dog is old or gentle or whatever. Your dog being off leash makes other dogs (who are on leash) very defensive and go into attack mode. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
